Cultural Characteristics of Fire Palace and Fire Temple Society

Xiang opera, ancient paintings, shadow play, arhat dance, clam dance, fan dance and majestic gongs and drums are all gathered together, and one song and one dance seems to tell a wonderful folk tale, which is thought-provoking, just like being in the temple fair of the Old Fire Palace.

The earliest fire fighting meeting was displayed in the Temple of Fire, with fire engines, fire axes, fire hooks and other fire fighting equipment, which made many old firefighters of the Fire Palace Fire Fighting Meeting excited and immersed themselves in the scene where the fire fighting team of the Old Fire Palace pushed a hand-cranked fire truck, followed by a water-carrying team of nearly 100 people rushing to the fire. But few people know that it was this "Fire Palace Fire Fighting Club" founded in the late Qing Dynasty that alleviated the suffering of merchants and people in Changsha. The antique "Huogong Huobaoding" placed in front of the ancient archway of Huogong is 1.3 meters high and 1.4 meters wide, and a 1.5-meter-high "flame" can soar every night, which is radiant and spectacular. Visitors will inevitably stretch out a pair of hands to bake this auspicious "blessing fire" and take photos as a souvenir. A guest surnamed Zhang from Shanghai said that he often travels in large and medium-sized cities because of business needs in other cities. It's wonderful to see such a creative fire culture promotion for the first time.

A Taiwan Province native who claimed to be "back in Dongting" revisited the Palace of Fire. While tasting stinky tofu and his sister's zongzi, he recalled Tian Han's snacks in the Fire Palace a few years ago. He couldn't help but write happily: Fried tofu smells good, and some guests recalled Taiwan Province Province. The young man Tian Han and his sister jiaozi went back to Xiangri for breakfast. The snacks in the Fire Palace are famous both at home and abroad. It can really be said that snacks have lasted for hundreds of years, and the cooking art of the Fire Palace is true.
