Being awakened by the handsomeness of Prince Zhao vs. being moved to tears by the beauty of the giant fish! Fujian and Anhui Intangible Cultural Heritage Showdown

✨During the Chinese New Year, I participated in the Anhui Intangible Cultural Heritage Fish Lantern Night Tour and Fuzhou Parade of Gods. The collision of two different cultural customs deeply shocked me. 🔥 👉🏻1. Decoding the Millennium Cultural Gene💡 ① Faith Code ✨▫️Fujian Parade of Gods: A clan carnival where people and gods dance together Origin: The tradition of "carrying gods around" in southern Fujian, integrating Taoism and Wu Nuo culture God idol system: the main god sits in a sedan chair + the pagoda god leads the way (such as Prince Zhao, Black and White Impermanence), each god statue has a unique "personality" Core meaning: exorcism + gathering clan cohesion ✨▫️Anhui Fish Lantern: Survival wisdom engraved into DNA Origin: 600 years of evolution of firefighting wisdom in Wangmantian Village, She County, which later became a representative intangible cultural heritage of Huizhou Extension: The fish lanterns in Zhanqi Village have been passed down for 800 years, and all villagers participate in making them Symbolic metaphor: The Eight Immortals painted on the fish body / scale pattern, representing "abundance every year" and "fish leaping over the dragon gate" Deeper appeal: Pray for a good harvest and successful descendants ② Differences in visual aesthetics 📸Styling: Parade of Gods: 3-meter-high giant idols (Three Princes/Black and White Impermanence), mainly cinnabar red/bright yellow, symbolizing the majesty of divinity, blue-purple cold light + flowing candlelight, creating a dreamy feeling Fish lanterns: 2-5 meters bamboo frame painted fish lanterns, mainly cinnabar red/bright yellow, dynamic features, the fish body can twist, simulating the swimming of real fish Best viewing section: Daytime parade + night torch ceremony Pure night view (after 18:30) 👉🏻2.
