What are the folklores in Linyi?

Linyi’s name comes from the Yi River.

There are Jinqueshan and Yinqueshan.

Sun Tzu's Art of War and Sun Bin's Art of War were excavated at the same time in Yinque Mountain, thus ending the historical debate on whether Sun Tzu and Sun Bin were the same person.

Linyi’s customs and habits

In the long history, the hard-working and kind-hearted Mengyin people gradually formed a unique dialect and customs, which are very local and folk characteristics. . However, with the popularization of modern civilization, some traditional things have gradually been forgotten by the world... In order to give everyone a window for communication and nostalgia, and to enable us all to recall our childhood memories, please friends The scenes in my mind are displayed here for everyone to review...

Chuanjian (jian'er) means: before a man and a woman formally get engaged, the woman's relatives and friends (mostly the woman's aunt, aunt, etc.) Sisters or uncles, etc.) visit the man's home, collect the gifts from the man to the woman, and discuss the specific matters of the engagement.

Invite the family hall and send the family off: On New Year’s Eve, people who “invite” the souls of their deceased ancestors home for the New Year are called inviting the family hall; usually on the first day of the new year In the afternoon (sometimes before the third day of the Lunar New Year), family members hold a small ceremony, setting off firecrackers, burning incense and paper to send them off to the family hall.

Offer: Place a table on the north wall of the hall, place the memorial tablets of your deceased ancestors, and place chicken, fish, meat, vegetables and other offerings on the table. To commemorate.

During the Chinese New Year, some families in rural areas place a wooden stick across the front door, which means to prevent other wandering ghosts from entering the house; in modern times, it also has another meaning, which means to inform visitors who are about to visit that the family has There is an "offering" table for ancestor worship, which reminds guests to be mentally prepared whether to kowtow to the ancestors of the family after entering the door.

The filial sons and grandsons wore sackcloth and mourning. Under the leadership of the host (master of ceremonies), they placed the old man's spiritual tablet on the street. They all kowtowed and spread millet porridge in front of the spiritual tablet, so that the old man's soul could eat and drink enough before going to the West. Don’t go hungry on the way to paradise.

The meaning of pouring soup: After the old man passes away, the younger generations give the old man a farewell meal from the human world to the underworld.

Each household sends tributes, rolls, incense, yellow watches, etc., and kowtows together to "respect Heaven." Thank God for the good times this year and pray for a better harvest next year.

Just like our dialects and dialects, we rarely speak or use them. On the contrary, we can hardly think of them in the past... That's all I can think of for the moment...
