“The moon is cold in the river, and the morning glory and weaving girl period.”
The romantic Chinese Valentine’s Day is the “Chinese Valentine’s Day” in the eyes of the public, but in Huangpu, in addition to the romantic and beautiful date of lovers, the Chinese Valentine’s Day is also the annual Qiqiao Culture Festival!
Sisters gather at Cinema, begging for cleverness and skill. Every year, the annual Beggar Festival is almost the most lively day in the Babaylan ancestral halls in Huangpu.
01 Ancient ancestral hall and Meizi House
Huangpu is full of profound cultural heritage, and the traditional culture of Cinema is well inherited and the festive atmosphere is very strong.
There are more than 700 ancient relics of Huangpu, including many ancient ancestral halls. Every year on the Chinese Valentine’s Day, the ancient ancestral hall is always decorated by Qiaojie, and the ancient ancestral hall is suddenly full of energy.
The Qixi Festival tribute platform is also called “Fengqiniang”. According to the size of the scale, “Shiqiniang” is divided into two forms: “Shiqiniang” and “Shiqiniang”. “Shopping Xiaoqiniang” is also known as “Meizai House”, and is mostly held by a single family or a joint household in its own hall; “Shopping Daqiniang” must be held in the ancestral hall, only once every few years.
On the day when the festival comes, Qiaojie from every household gathered together to prepare for the tribute platform of begging for Qiao and put on her own works. Everyone prepares to beg for Qiao vegetarian food, Qi Niang, worship Qi Niang, sing Cantonese opera, and play with Qaida, and have a great time. From the introduction of Lao Qiao’s sister Babaylan, I learned that in the past, under the “Sister’s House” and “Style Qi Niang” altar, there were usually pillows and mats. When I beg for Qiao until late at night, Qiao’s sisters would rest and watch under the altar, and enjoy themselves.
The ancient ancestral hall, with the careful decoration of Qiaojie,Clusters of colorful things, rejuvenate new vitality and show new charm! The Qiaojie also used their good skills to make the customs of begging for the Chinese Valentine’s Day into a display of clever products.
