Wang Anmin

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan persuaded Zhou Shanpei to implement the new policy and inherited the date and organizational form of the Chengdu Qingming Association. The conference organized work, which was selected by the people for the first time. The venue has a temporary shed (Chenghuang Palace), the stage, the tea garden, and the platform (the female watching table). At that time, the Sifang Commercial Travels will gather, and various materials are stacked at the scene. People here will carry out material trade in life and production. In order to activate the atmosphere, they also act as entertainment. The main characters that run through the conference are lonely and the city.

Before persuading the farmer's conference, first in the open place outside the city, the tower rose to the city of the city, looking at the ridge angle eaves from a distance, decorated like a Shenge, which contains a god stick, incense burner, copper plate, etc. Ask, and arranged for a person to sit next to the case and send a ticket to the donation. On both sides, there was a layman's mother -in -law, the neck hanging rosary, and murmuring the scriptures.

In the early morning of the opening day of the agricultural conference, a huge city of urban gods were held. First, a long -headed firecracker was set up in front of the Chenghuang Temple, and then eight people sat out of the temple from the temple and across the streets.

In front of the Chenghuang sedan, there were soldiers and cards such as "quiet" and "avoiding", and several "good men believers" were escorted by the sedan pole. The sedan is wearing crotch pants, white short clothes, and belt. Following the dragon lights and the team of lions behind the idol. The chicken feet god, Wu Erye and the little ghosts dressed by people are driving. The chicken feet walking like a chicken, with a long tongue in his mouth and holding the iron chain in his mouth; Wu Erye carried a big umbrella, wearing a hat with a "impermanence" word "impermanence"; "Life and Death Book"; the little ghost puts the "chasing soul chasing card" on the waist, and there is a "murderer" with a half -body bodied with a knife and fork. , But chewed while walking. The opera actor who danced and danced was followed by the male and female residents holding the incense box. Everyone on both sides of the street was in front of the door to welcome the gods.

In the 1930s, the people in Chengdu were dressed as a city god to patrol

Along the way, crowded, climbing the city to watch. The team of the city patrolling came to the sedan of the "Chenghuang Palace" outside the city. The Chenghuang and the two ladies were settled in the south of the palace, accepting people from all walks of life and civilians to worship. After the ceremony, I would also send some incense money to respect the city. Outside the city of the city, the hundred shows are mixed, and they are very lively.

"Five -rampant", legend, is the five -way gods. They were sent by the five brothers and were dispatched by the city. In the persuasion of the peasant conference, people played the five brothers and the evil spirits. Brother Wu Ma took a steel knife and Tielian in his hands, and hunting along the street to pursue the "fierce god and evil" wearing red clothes. The "evil god and evil" escaped everywhere, hit the stalls on the market, met pedestrians on the street, and finally rushed to the stage, and finally captured by the five rampant, tied to the pillars of the stage to show the murder and punishment. Evil, ghosts and evils, folks say that they can protect all the auspiciousness and peace.

Chenghuang Return Hall

The city god rewarded the loneliness, that is, the city god was "on -site office" when the city was inspected. The ghosts who specifically checked the flexion were checked. Then it is to burn paper for the lonely soul wild ghosts everywhere, reward the paper money, and cross them with a place of destination.

The city god returned to the hall and persuaded the ending ceremony of the farmer's conference to welcome the Chenghuang Palace of the city and the two maids. At this time, because various entertainment activities have ended, there are very few merchants who do transactions and buying and selling. The audience is much less compared to the tour, and the annual persuasion of the agricultural conference ended.
