Step 5 swing

The old custom of swinging in Weicheng is as popular as flying kites, and this activity is gradually recovering in recent years. Swing activities are carried out in Qingming and cold food seasons, which have the function of sports and entertainment, as well as religious reasons. Old customs: During the Qingming Festival, swings are hung from the 16th day of the second month of the lunar calendar; If Tomb-Sweeping Day is in March, the swing will be hung from February 2nd to the first month, so it is also called "Moon Swing".

The erection of the "Moon Swing" consists of two thick columns and two pairs of crossed supporting beams, with the lower end buried deep in the soil and the upper end firmly tied with a thick beam. The ring tied to the swing rope is made of wax strips and placed on the beam, which is called "detention". Before you swing, grab two ropes and throw them away.

When the swing swings, the two stops will gradually move closer to the middle of the beam, which is called "parallel stop". It is customary to "merge" and stop to give it to others. There are many kinds of big swings, such as "independence", "sitting alone", "kneeling alone", "fishing for shrimp" and "picking things". Some movements are also performed with ballads, such as "Peach blossoms bloom, apricot blossoms decline and plum blossoms fall".
