The Northern Emperor’s honor guards were opened by “Sujing”, “Avoid”, “Zixiao Palace”, “Xuantian Emperor”, etc., and the Northern Emperor sat upright on the red sedan chair and paraded majesticly under the phrasing of the eight-tone gongs and drums.

Sanshui Ancestral Temple retains the folk customs of the Northern Emperor’s Day temple fair

In legend, the Northern Emperor is the god of Taoism. For the Pearl River Delta, which is densely populated by rivers, the “Northern Emperor” is an extremely important divine deity. Located in Foshan, located in the heart of the Pearl River Delta, it used to be densely populated with water and frequent floods. Since ancient times, it was particularly popular to believe in the Northern Emperor. Every third day of the third lunar month, various temple fairs of the Northern Emperor’s birthday are held in Foshan. Today, a small-scale “ancestral temple” in Lubao, Sanshui, Foshan has preserved the oldest folk custom of the Beidi Birth Temple Fair.

Xujiang Ancestral Temple is located in the northern suburb of Lubao Town, Sanshui, facing Mount Hua and facing Beijiang. This “ancestral temple” hidden in Sanshui Town actually has a great background. According to historical records, the temple was built in the first year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1208 AD) and has a history of more than 800 years. It is the oldest temple building in Sanshui, Foshan. It was listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit in 1989. It was ranked as one of the three most influential ancient temples in Guangdong Province, along with Yuecheng Longmu Temple and Foshan Ancestral Temple.

At the beginning of the construction of the temple, the villagers around the Xujiang Ancestral Temple spontaneously organized the “Baishen Emperor’s BirthBabaylan” temple fair, which was well continued and passed down among the people of Lubao. In addition to holding small meetings every thirty years and general meetings every sixty years. Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, the villagers would go to the Xujiang Ancestral Temple to worship, and the Lubao workshops would also bring color to perform dramas. According to the local historical records of Lubao, this temple fair custom has temporarily ceased since the 1950s. After the reform and opening up, Xujiang Ancestral Temple began to resume the folk customs of “March Three Northern Emperors” on a small scale.

“The Lubao Xujiang Ancestral Temple has always had the custom of worshiping the Northern Emperor. In the old days, on the birthday of the Northern Emperor, the people of Lubao had the custom of gathering funds to celebrate the birthday at the Xujiang Ancestral Temple, holding ceremony for worship, parade of the Northern Emperor, performing operas to reward gods, burning big explosions and other ceremonies to pray for eliminating disasters and relieving difficulties, controlling water and controlling fire, harmonious society, prosperity of the people, and prosperity of all industries.” Li Qihua said.

Borrowing Xiao Beidiru a hundred years ago this year to visit relatives

In recent years, he has been from Nanwan Village, GuangzhouThe little Beidi, who returned to Xujiang Ancestral Temple to “visit relatives”Komiks, became one of the most lively events in the Beidi Birth Festival of Xujiang Ancestral Temple.

Why did the statue of Beidi in the small village temple in Guangzhou go back to Sanshui Lubao to participate in the event? According to legend, in 1908, cholera occurred in Nanwan Village, Huangpu, Guangzhou. He sought medical treatment everywhere and asked for medicine. His health did not improve, but the villagers had no solution. It happened that a man from Sanshui Lubao worked as a long-term worker in Nanwan Village. Seeing this, he said that the Northern Emperor of Lubao’s ancestral temple was very energetic and suggested borrowing the statue of the Northern Emperor to tour the village. The patriarchs immediately sent several young people from the village to head straight to the Xujiang Ancestral Temple in Lubao.

The Northern Emperor Lu Bao was invited. The elders in the clan ordered every family to sacrifice, every household burned incense, knelt down solemnly, and then carried the statue of the Little Northern Emperor around the village. It’s strange that not long after, the symptoms of diarrhea of ​​the sick villagers gradually disappeared. After the plague was eliminated, everyone could not argue over the stay or leave of Emperor Xiaobei. By all kinds of chances, the statue of the little Beidi finally stayed in Nanwan Village, and it took a hundred years to stay. However, the villagers of Nanwan Village were grateful and specially hung a wooden plaque of “Rebau Beidi” in the Ancient Dragon Guarding Temple, which enshrines Xiaobeidi, to show that future generations will not forget the blessing of Rebau Beidi.

In 2013, a person who was enthusiastic about Lu Bao went to Nanwan Village to travel. He saw Lu Bao Beidi at the Hulong Ancient Temple and actively helped him to return to Lu Bao to visit his relatives. At the Beidi Birth Temple Fair in 2014, the little Beidi, who had been borrowed for a hundred years, returned to Xujiang Ancestral Temple to “visit relatives” for the first time under the escort of the villagers in Nanwan Village. Since then, every year during the third day of the third lunar month, villagers in Nanwan spontaneously escorted “Xiao Beidi” back to their hometown to “visit their relatives”.
