August 18, the old custom of lake sacrifice, is the birthday of Chaoshen. People often go to salt officials to watch the tide, which is more prosperous in modern times. Before the Revolution of 1911, local officials prepared three incense sticks every day to offer sacrifices to the tide god in Daguan Pavilion next to zhenhai tower, and the imperial court sometimes sent dignitaries to the Temple of the Sea to offer sacrifices.

4. Dongqian Lake Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival in Dongqian Lake started from Qianhu Temple Fair. Once upon a time, there were two lively temple fairs on September 11 and 16 of the lunar calendar. First, I painted "Bodhisattva Tour" in Zhousi, and then I went to Wat Phnom to celebrate my birthday.

By then, all the villages at the foot of the temple will join the guild. On the day of the guild, there were bronze shovel teams, salute teams, pavilions, stilts and sand boats. As the leader, behind the "patrolling" Bodhisattva, there is a makeup team to "relieve the prisoners". Guild activities are lively and interesting, and the most exciting content is the dragon boat race.

5. Match making

Folk weddings in Hangzhou basically follow the customs of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the old society, the marriage between men and women was very feudal, and people over middle age had to ask a matchmaker to marry them, which was called "wearing marriage". After the man and the woman asked Budeji for a "fixed post", the man chose a date, prepared a gift for the woman, and the parents met. This is the so-called "blind date". If the woman likes it, she inserts a golden hairpin into the crown bun, which is called "inserting hairpin". If you are not satisfied, send two colored satin, which is called "shocking the world."
