The strange customs and people's feelings in Ji 'an

Hello, everyone. Today, I'll tell you something about the customs of Ji 'an.

First, introduce the tour routes and scenic spots.

Day 1 Jinggangshan-Ciping Scenic Area

1.？ Jinggang Mountains

Jinggangshan is located in Ji 'an City. Speaking of Jinggangshan, people usually think it is the "cradle of China revolution". However, in addition to the red revolutionary relics, the green natural scenery here is also very eye-catching, especially when azaleas are in full bloom in April and May. Many tourists simply label the scenic spots in Jinggangshan as "red" and "green" to show the difference. "Red Tour" understands history and increases knowledge. The "green tour" is mainly about seeing the scenery. Of course, you can also have a "color tour" with both.

The whole Jinggangshan scenic spot is divided into 1 1 sub-scenic spots, with Ciping, Huang Yangjie, Main Peak, Dujuan Mountain (Bijia Mountain) and Longtan as the core. There are four sightseeing bus routes to and from the main scenic spots in the scenic area. Tickets are included in the tickets and can be taken many times within the validity period. All scenic spots are subject to the one-vote system, including Huang Yangjie, Longtan, Baizhuyuan, Jinggangshan Mint and other 2 1 scenic spots (valid for 5 days and can be extended upon application). Tickets can be purchased at the tourist service center at the terminal of Taijing Expressway, Bijiashan parking lot, Jingouwan in Mao Ping and Nanshan Road in Ciping.

It usually takes 1-3 days to visit Jinggangshan. Because of the large area, go on road trip cars can't enter the main scenic spots, so ordinary tourists will live in the center of Ciping, with sightseeing bus as their base camp. Ciping is to Jinggangshan what Guling is to Lushan. There are five-star hotels in the town to ordinary hotels with a price of one or two hundred yuan, especially near Tianjie, where food, accommodation and shopping are concentrated. The night view is beautiful. In addition, it is also the main station for sightseeing buses, and all tourist routes start from here.

Huang Yangjie, northwest of Ciping, is a place that every visitor to Jinggangshan will not miss. If there is only one day, it will generally be reserved for the A line where Huang Yangjie is located. In the morning, you can take a bus to Huangyangjie Shaokou, and the scenery along the way is good. At the top of the mountain, you can see the path leading to the foot of the mountain, and perhaps you can see the classic sea of clouds in Huang Yangjie.

From Huang Yangjie to Ciping, the direction is Baizhuyuan-Longtan-Xiaojing (red+green), and further away is Mao Ping-Xiangshan Temple-Huishi Square-Longjiang Academy (mainly red). The driving distance between adjacent scenic spots is less than half an hour, so it doesn't take much time to visit each scenic spot. In contrast, there are more tourists in the direction of Baizhuyuan. Jinggangshan Mint and Baizhuyuan live next to each other. The mint has an introduction of the coinage process in that year, and you can also see the coins made in that year. Baizhu Garden is a green scenic spot, and the tall and lush bamboos in the garden make people feel relaxed and happy. Longtan can take a cableway (to and from 60 yuan) to see the 50% waterfall, which is one of the splendid green landscapes in Jinggangshan. Xiaojing has the former site of the Fourth Army Hospital of the Red Army. Behind the hospital is the tomb of the martyrs, which is very close to Ciping Town.

Take Ciping-Dajing-Shuikou on Line B, and you can visit red scenic spots such as the former site of the Red Army Medical Center, and you can see rural scenery such as farmland and waterwheels next to it. The special feature of Shuikou Waterfall is that when the sun is strong, you can see a rainbow hanging in front of the waterfall, which is very beautiful. Transfer from Dajing, there is a special line to Zhu Jing (half an hour), and few people don't go.

The above two routes can be arranged for two days, and you can choose several interesting tours. If you have extra time to go back to the town in the afternoon, the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Museum, nanshan park, Beishan Martyrs Cemetery and Ciping Revolutionary Site Group near Yicuihu Park are all good choices.

On the third day, you can take the C line to the main peak (7 kilometers). The attraction here is Yuan Guan Wu Zhifeng, which is the fourth set of patterns on the back of RMB 100. You can take a standard photo of a hundred-dollar bill here, then go back to Ciping and take the special line directly to Du Fu Mountain (Bijia Mountain). If you feel in a hurry, you can also go directly to Dufu Mountain, which can be called the green landscape of Jinggangshan. Take the cableway up the mountain, and the mountain below is full of green. In April and May, azaleas are everywhere, just like a beautiful rainbow. In the sea of clouds in the morning, walking on the plank road on the cliff is like being in a fairyland. If you have enough time, you can also stroll around on the way back, and the scenery is not bad.

2.？ Ciping scenic spot

Ciping is located in the center of Jinggangshan scenic spot, which is not only a part of the scenic spot, but also a clean town with many red revolutionary sites and relics to visit. Similar to Guling Mountain in Lushan Mountain, Ciping is the base camp of Jinggangshan tourism. No matter how you come to Jinggangshan, your first stop must be here.

Sightseeing bus main station, Ciping long-distance bus station and railway station-Cipingban station in Jinggangshan Scenic Area are all in the town, and since self-driving vehicles are not allowed to enter the main scenic spots, even if you come by car, you must park your car in the town and transfer to the scenic spot sightseeing bus to go to those main scenic spots. The scenic spots in Ciping are all included in the big tickets of Jinggangshan Scenic Area, mainly in red. If you are not particularly interested in the history of the Red Revolution, you can arrange to visit some of them after the main tour every day.

Although the town is small, there are many high-rise buildings and many accommodation options. Some of them are Old Jingtai Hotel and Jinggangshan Hotel. It's also easy to find a hundred-dollar shop. Food and accommodation are concentrated in Tianjie area north of the town center, and there are also many small shops where you can buy local products, such as Redmi in Jinggangshan.

It only takes about an hour to visit Ciping Town. There are buses to and from all the major scenic spots in the town, but there are few trips. Except for the far-away Beishan Martyrs Cemetery (about 10 km), it doesn't take long to walk between several other scenic spots.

The scenic spots are concentrated in the Ciping Revolutionary Site Group near Nanshan Road in the east. There are seven sites on display, including Mao Zedong's former residence, the former site of Gongsijun Military Department and the former site of Gongsijun Ordnance Department. Although the khaki houses were rebuilt later, we can still appreciate the style of the old revolutionary base areas. Many people visit here. If you want a quiet experience, you have to choose it in the morning and evening or in the off-season.

Cui Yuhu Park, opposite the old ruins, is a very elegant green space in the town. In the center of the park is an artificial lake surrounded by green trees. It feels good to come here for a walk in the morning and evening. The Jinggangshan Revolutionary Museum in the west of the park has begun to take shape. Through pictures, words and exhibitions, as well as some sound, light and electric effects, we can systematically understand people and their deeds during the revolutionary period. Visitors who like history should not miss it. Not far from the south of Yicuihu Park, the sculpture of workers, peasants and soldiers at the top of nanshan park Mountain is its symbol, and there are several sightseeing platforms nearby to enjoy the scenery.

The next day, Du Fu Mountain (Bijia Mountain)

Located in the south of Ciping, Dufu Mountain consists of Yangmei Peak, Wang Zhifeng of Xifeng and Guandao Peak of Dongfeng. Seen from a distance, this mountain looks like a penholder, so it is also called "Bijia Mountain". The "Shili Rhododendron Forest" here is the most famous. In April and May, the azaleas in the mountains are in full bloom, which is the most splendid natural landscape in Jinggangshan.

Ciping main station (tourist service center) has a special line to the scenic spot, which takes about half an hour by car, which is very convenient. It should be noted that the tickets for Jinggangshan Scenic Area include the tickets for Du Fu Mountain, but there is no trail up the mountain, so you need to take a cableway to and from the scenic area (peak season 160 yuan/person, off season 150 yuan/person). However, the ropeway of Dujuan Mountain can be said to be very cost-effective. It takes about 25 minutes to sit one way, overlooking the green hills below, and the scenery is great. Especially when azaleas are in full bloom, there is a sea of flowers under your feet.

The ropeway has three stops: upper, middle and lower. Among them, the middle stop is a big turn above 100 degrees, which is a bit thrilling. After the stop, you can see the outline of Dufu Mountain. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the station on the ropeway to the fork of Gubai Peak, which is the starting point and end point of sightseeing in Dujuan Mountain. A narrow path on the left hand can only be entered under the guidance of a professional guide, and two paths on the right hand, one is a suspended plank road and the other is a wooden path, which form a circle near Dasong Island in the east. Visitors usually start their tour clockwise from the hanging plank road on the left. The road is easy to walk, so you can enjoy the scenery along the way while walking.

The suspended plank road faces Bijiashan Canyon, and there are five observation platforms along the way, which can enjoy the back of Wu Zhifeng and the scenery of the canyon. Among them, there are several peaks 100 meters around the easternmost observation deck No.5. Standing in the scenic spot, you can see Peacock Peak and Book Peak from a distance, and the scenery is the most spectacular. There are also several hieroglyphs along the road, such as General Stone and Golden Rooster Dawn, which are really similar.

Dasong Island behind the observation deck No.5 is famous for its strange pines, and there is an observation deck for tourists to take pictures of the strange pines at the best angle. The wooden plank road back to Komatsu Island is a trail to watch the "Ten Miles Rhododendron Corridor". Walking along the trail in April and May is like walking in an ocean of azaleas. There are many kinds of rhododendrons here, and the most worth seeing is a "Rhododendron King" near Yangmeifeng. It is a super-large rhododendron, with 44 rhododendrons and an umbrella-shaped pine tree around it. It has a history of thousands of years.

Later tour, there are several pictographic rocks such as Buddha's finger and toad's name, which can be enjoyed or photographed. Go straight to the end of the wooden stack path, and then return to Cooper Peak. Go back to the cableway station and take the cableway down the mountain. The shuttle bus back to Ciping will pass by, so you can get off for sightseeing when you have enough time. In summer, you can also drift under the azalea mountain, generally 100 yuan/person.

So much for the introduction of tourist routes and scenic spots. Let me tell you something about the customs of Ji 'an.

Let's talk about how people greet the beginning of the year. 1February 30th is the New Year in China. All the old cousins in Ji 'an who have been working and studying abroad all the year round will return to their hometown to reunite with their families. New Year's Eve is also called "reunion dinner". This is the best meal for the whole family. The family sat around, chatting while eating, toasting each other and wishing each other well. In recent years, after dinner, the family sat around the TV to watch the annual Spring Festival Gala, which seemed very affectionate.

On the 30th, folk residents will go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables and put them beside the gate, some of which will be placed on the incense table in the hall to show the wealth in the coming year.

Also, on the first day of the first month, all residents fast. Every New Year's Day breakfast, folk residents not only don't eat big fish and meat, but also don't see any birds and animals on the table. They are all vegetarian dishes. Even the water you wash your face and rinse back in the early morning of New Year's Day is not poured out, but put it in a bucket. At the beginning, firecrackers were set off all over the sky, so we couldn't sweep the floor that day. It also means auspiciousness, gathering wealth for treasure.

On the second day of the first month, people usually go to pay New Year greetings and visit relatives. At that time, everyone could see the unique scenery in Ji 'an area, and the streets and alleys were crowded with rickshaws. Let's have tea and play cards together. So-until the seventh day of August!

Long summer festival. I ate "Long Summer Eggs" that day, and every household should eat eggs. Some people will eat "Long Summer Dog", as the saying goes: "Eating Long Summer can't kill you with one hammer; I ate the long summer dog and my legs were busy walking. The atmosphere of this program is not strong, because it is spring ploughing season, and farming is too busy.

Dragon Boat Festival. The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. During the Dragon Boat Festival in Jinggangshan, locals and Hakkas will put calamus and mugwort leaves around the gate, and make zongzi widely in urban and rural areas. In the past, there were many activities on the Dragon Boat Festival. At noon that day, a yellow paper symbol was painted with vermilion and posted on the portal. Drink realgar wine. If children can't drink it, apply it on their foreheads to avoid toxic sores. Sprinkle realgar wine on the foot of the wall to avoid disease and drive away ants. There are also dragon boat races by the river. This custom has not changed so far, but drinking realgar wine has gradually become unpopular.

June sixth. Commonly known as the "dog head washing" festival, the dog is thrown into the water to take a bath. In the past, rich people "aired tickets" and ordinary people aired clothes and bedding. It is said that they will not be moldy and can prevent corrosion and moth-eaten. Luo, a local resident, pays more attention to "June 6th" and invites relatives and friends to perform together.

Mid-Autumn Festival. Commonly known as July and a half, it is also called "Ghost Festival". The time is July 14th (or 15th) of the lunar calendar. On this day, the married daughter of local residents is not allowed to go back to her family, and relatives and friends are not allowed to visit her. In the old July and a half, clothes were cut out of five-color paper, and gold ingots and silver ingots were made of gold paper and silver paper. That night, it was burned outside the door, and incense sticks and rice were poured on the roadside and river to sacrifice "wild ghosts." This custom varies according to the habits of their ancestors.

Mid-Autumn Festival. August 15th of the lunar calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On holidays, relatives and relatives will give mooncakes to each other, especially newlyweds. On that day, every household killed chickens and ducks for a reunion dinner. In the evening, we will have a Yue Bai with moon cakes, grapefruit and various fruits. The whole family will sit together, enjoy tea and enjoy the moon, and eat moon cakes to celebrate family reunion. This custom has been passed down to this day.

Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, is called "Double Ninth Festival". Congratulations on making sugar cakes and salty cakes in the countryside. The Double Ninth Festival is designated as the Day for Respecting the Elderly, and it has become a common practice for units to offer condolences to retired people. In rural areas, people give gifts to the elderly, wishing them health and longevity. In recent years, on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, the sports association for the elderly organized retired people to hold mountaineering competitions.

Winter solstice festival. Local people use the Winter Solstice Festival to commemorate their ancestors, sweep graves and repair graves. It is also a good opportunity for local people to "pickle", "wax" and "mold". As the saying goes, "On the solstice of winter, braised pork marinates bones well", so people generally start to kill pork braised pork, mold tofu, steam glutinous rice wine and other activities after the solstice of winter to make material preparations for the New Year.

Strange Hakka marriage customs. Hakka wedding customs are grand, warm and elegant in taste, which is one of the main contents of Hakka customs. Generally, it includes the biography of Geng Xu, the choice of daughter, the approval of son-in-law, appointment, delivery date and marriage, which is called "Six Rites". In the "Six Rites" marriage custom, the most important thing is to get married in a sedan chair. In the old society, in order to compete for status and favor, women who were married in those years often took "I was brought to my husband's house in a sedan chair" as their orthodoxy and took pride in it, alluding to matchmaking. When the sedan chair is used to greet the bride, the most interesting thing is the couplet. On the wedding day, both men and women should choose the most trusted literati to mention couplets, so as to show off their own brilliance and glory and study each other's literary talent. On the wedding day, the man first picked up the couplets on the sedan chair and picked them up for the woman. The woman must match the couplets in a short time. Women are quite nervous about this.

Unique Hakka diet. Hakkas have always been hospitable and love tea. Most of them live in mountainous areas and grow and make their own tea. Hakka people drink hot tea and relatives and friends come. First, they stew tea and serve a plate (with food on it). Neighbors passing by the house will also warmly say "come in and have a bowl of tea!" "

The etiquette for indigenous people in Jinggangshan to build new houses is to sit at the table, enclose the house, put on the beam and cross the beam.
