The traditional worship of Poseidon in Tian Heng Town, jimo city, Qingdao was selected.

Ocean Festival is a traditional festival formed by nature worship. The most famous Ocean Festival is the traditional Ocean Festival located in ewald Village, Tian Heng Town, Jimo District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China. Commonly known as "Tian Heng Sea Festival", it has a history of more than 500 years. This is the biggest marine festival in northern China.

The folk custom of offering sacrifices to the sea is a fisherman's culture and folk cultural activity with unique regional characteristics created by fishermen in their long-term farming, grazing and fishing life. After the annual sea festival, the fishermen, after getting ready to repair their boats and buy fishing gear, set sail for fishing.

During the annual sacrifice to the sea, Tian Heng Town will hold a folklore seminar in conjunction with Shandong Photographers Association, Qingdao Folklore Photographers Association, Qingdao Folklore Museum, Folklore Society and other folklore research institutions, and invite folklore experts to discuss in depth how to inherit and carry forward the folklore of the sea sacrifice.

At the same time, Tian Heng Town holds a photo contest every year, and holds a photo exhibition in Tianhou Palace in Qingdao, which strengthens the spread and exchange of the folk custom of offering sacrifices to the sea. After several years of careful planning, the Tian Heng Festival of Sacrificing to the Sea has developed into a folk festival with the largest scale, the strongest characteristics of fishing culture and the most complete preservation of the original ceremony of sacrificing to the sea in China.

Inheritance and development of Ocean Festival;

Since 2004, the Tian Heng Town Government has organized the excavation, sorting, classification and archiving of folk information about sea sacrifices, and officially published a series of CD-ROM cultural products such as Tian Heng's Talk, Tian Heng's Sacrifice to the Sea, Meeting Tian Heng, Serenade of Tian Heng and Qian Wenzhong's Talk about Jimo.

In 2005, it was renamed as "Tian Heng Folk Culture Festival in Sacrifice to the Sea", and the time was set at about March 18 every year, and the contents of folk performances such as drinking hard liquor, folk photography contest, sweet cake dough sculpture contest and folk discussion were added.

In 2006, Tian Heng Town officially named the sea festival "Tian Heng Sea Festival". The first Tianhenghai Festival put forward the theme of "harmony between people and sea, enriching the country and strengthening the people", and adjusted the new idea of "one festival every year, one festival every three years, government-run demonstration, folk subject, high-point positioning and sustainable development", aiming at "returning the festival to the people" by fishermen themselves.

In 2009, the 4th Tianheng Ocean Festival was hosted by jimo city Municipal Government and undertaken by Tianheng Town Government. By further highlighting the festival theme of "harmony between people and sea, enriching the country and strengthening the people", with Tianheng as the protagonist, we will make every effort to build the largest ocean festival in northern China. In 20 10, the fifth Tian Heng Sea Festival will be held by non-governmental organizations in March 13 and 18 in Huanglongzhuang and Zhougezhuang Village, Tian Heng Town, Qingdao, truly saving the people.
