The drag of Chenghai salt stove is the unique charm of Chaoshan. In the future, the lucky draw will first tie the idol in a sedan chair with a rope, and the villagers will grab the idol. After grabbing the idol, they tied it with a rope, dragged it to the pond and threw it into the water for soaking.

brief Introduction of the content
Yanzao in Hong Yan Town, Chenghai County, Guangdong Province is a natural village with a population of more than 65,438+6,000. The villagers live a life of "three farming and seven fishing". There is a peculiar folk custom of dragging the gods in the village, which is rare in Chaoshan. Every year, the 21st and 22nd day of the first lunar month is the God Wandering Festival, so the young people in the village need to be prepared to drag their feet and lift their spirits.
Drag the idol down, so that you have to take off your face, break your feet and hands, and then push it into the pool to soak, so you can do it yourself. Drag and drag, pick up the idol on an auspicious day, reshape the golden body, and send it back to the temple for worship and incense. Year after year, this folk custom still exists.
