Visit the composition of Guiyu street road shed

I've been wanting to visit the "street shed" in Guiyu for many years, but I didn't make it. I finally got my wish last year, and I was lucky enough to go this year. This is really a great pleasure in my life. Visiting the long-awaited "street shed" made me personally feel what is called "a sea of people" and "lingering", what is called "cultural feast" and "spiritual enjoyment". However, what is the reason and strength that attracted hundreds of thousands of people to watch in such a short time, and they all returned with satisfaction? I'll believe that when I see it. As soon as you enter the "street shed", you will get a very satisfactory answer, because there is an ocean of knowledge here. Guiyu Town, located in the west of Chaoyang District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, has a variety of exhibits, such as calligraphy, painting, couplets, photography, pictures and collections, for three consecutive days in February every year. , neatly hung on both sides of the nearly two kilometers commercial street, involving political, economic, cultural, educational, military, tourism and historical celebrities, loyalty and filial piety. According to reports, the "street shed" includes eight aspects, including more than 400 paintings and calligraphy works 10, more than 2,800 collectibles, 2 couplets10 and photography topics10. According to experts, mass cultural temple fairs with a large number, extremely rich contents and high cultural content are rare in China, and it is not an exaggeration to call them "China's best". -is a kind of spiritual enjoyment. Although the "street shed" in Guiyu is a kind of folk cultural activity that the rural grassroots spontaneously entertain themselves, it is complex but not miscellaneous, public but not chaotic, low but not vulgar; Can let the audience get their own position, their own good, their own fun; Achieve the effect that God and people are happy, officials and people are happy, and all ages are happy. There are not only a considerable number of high-grade works by famous painters and calligraphers from Gu Shuhua, national level and other provinces and cities including Taiwan Province and Hongkong in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also thousands of various collections and vivid and cordial thematic photography exhibitions close to the times. At the same time, many literary and art groups and folk art teams have been organized to carry out large-scale literary parades, performances and cultural and sports activities. It is really a "cultural feast", which is eye-opening, feast one's eyes and benefit a lot. It is an indescribable spiritual enjoyment. -This is an educational platform. The rich cultural and artistic connotation of Guiyu "street shed" is an excellent way for the general public to cultivate themselves, educate themselves and improve themselves. Last year, I witnessed a boy bending over in the "street shed" and asked another boy to put paper on his back and copy the contents of the historical allusion "Twenty-four Filial Pieties". The scene is very touching. According to the entourage, many primary and middle school students in Guiyu have used the historical materials in the "street shed" in their compositions for a long time, which is very useful for the cultivation and education of the next generation. History and reality strongly show that this kind of mass cultural temple fair with high cultural content integrates knowledge, artistry and interest, and has traditional culture, modern culture and Chaoshan culture; Patriotism, heroism and socialism; Ideological morality, revolutionary tradition, political economy ... everything is extremely rich, which provides free cultural meals for the people, cultivates and educates countless farmers in the enjoyment of culture and art, and is an excellent platform to improve the comprehensive quality of rural farmers, which is of far-reaching and great significance to promoting rural social harmony and building a new socialist countryside. -It's a great creation. This kind of cultural temple fair "street shed" is a kind of mass spontaneous action from the beginning, and it is a matter of winning the hearts and minds of the people. It is also the choice of the people of Guiyu, the historical choice and the correct choice. It fully embodies the wisdom and creativity of the people of Guiyu. It is understood that this long-standing, far-reaching and unique folk cultural activity has attracted more than 200,000 visitors every year in recent years, and 4,000-8,000 folk artists have participated. By then, almost every farmer in several communities where Guiyu Town is located will be very busy. For a long time, in just a few days, each session can attract hundreds of thousands of people to participate in this activity consciously, and its influence, cohesion and vitality are remarkable. She is a great creation of the people of Guiyu and a good thing to achieve multiple goals. On the one hand, she enriched and enlivened the rural cultural life to a certain extent, and met the spiritual and cultural needs of farmers at different levels, especially at the bottom; On the other hand, she plays an inestimable role in improving the ideological and moral quality of farmers and building a harmonious and stable rural society through entertaining and imperceptibly teaching. On the other hand, she can gather strength and inspire enthusiasm. At that time, relatives and friends gathered, guests were full, overseas Chinese and tourists gathered together, and various social gatherings, symposiums and symposiums were held at the right time, which constantly enhanced the sense of identity and cohesion of villagers at home and abroad. What's more, during every "street shed" for hundreds of years, not only thousands of local shops were extremely active, but also vendors from surrounding counties, cities and villages gathered in Guiyu, and local products, handicrafts, new year's goods and various juggling were spread all over three streets and six lanes, which made people very happy and envious. -It's a valuable legacy. The Encyclopedia of Chaoshan (page 199) reads: "Guiyu street shed began in Jiajing, Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1533). At that time, there were three Shuangzhong temples in your mountain to commemorate Zhang Xun Xu Yuan every February ... At that time, Chen Hao, Chen Jiang returned to his hometown and advocated holding a memorial ceremony for Xu Yuan, Zhang Xun, following the model of Suzhou Temple Fair. This Guiyu folk activity with a history of nearly 500 years is mainly attached to the commemoration of "double loyalty". Judging from its many existing Gu Shuhua works, couplets and memorial archway couplets, its contents are mainly to spread the "double loyalty culture", praise the loyalty and righteousness of ancient historical figures, advocate "virtue" and "filial piety", and educate officials and ordinary people to cultivate themselves. This folk cultural activity with distinctive features, a long history and rich and healthy contents is an excellent form for Chaoyang to inherit and carry forward China's excellent traditional culture, a glorious chapter of Chaoshan culture and a very valuable historical and cultural heritage. After nearly 500 years of evolution and reform, this special cultural activity is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, widely welcomed by the people, paid attention to by many officials, experts and scholars, and gave high praise and enthusiastic support. It is admirable and gratifying that, for a long time, "Guiyu Shuangzhong Hangci Friendship Association" and "Jielupeng Cultural Relics Management Office" have done a lot of fruitful work and made important contributions to the protection, inheritance, management and function. At the same time, the local community and previous township party and government departments attached great importance to this folk activity and gave active support, guidance and help. For example, Chen, the secretary of Guiyu Town Committee who took office not long ago, took out four paintings and calligraphy works of a certain grade that he treasured and participated in this year's "Street Shed" exhibition, and supported them with practical actions. Therefore, we firmly believe that the "street shed" in Guiyu, a precious cultural heritage with special and outstanding historical and cultural value, will more fully show its strong vitality and play its due value and role. It is true that, just like everything can't be perfect, due to the constraints of subjective and objective conditions, Guiyu's "street shed" also needs further research, improvement and perfection, especially how to step up the serious declaration and strive to be included in the provincial and national "intangible cultural heritage" protection projects, and on the basis of further strengthening protection, inheritance and management, give full play to this unique cultural advantage, strengthen and expand this cultural brand, and rationally develop and utilize this precious culture.
