Zhongyuan Festival

This festival originates from the early “the Mid-July” harvest autumn to worship ancestors, the birth of “the Mid-July” can be traced back to the ancient ancestor worship and harvest festival. In ancient times, people often placed their blessings on the gods for the harvest of farming. Worship ancestors in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the “taste of autumn” in early autumn is very important. Autumn is the harvest season, and people hold sacrificial ceremonies to the spirits of their ancestors, offering the season’s good products to the gods first, and then tasting the fruits of these labors and praying for a good harvest in the coming year.

Traditional Fermented Bean Curd

Fermented bean curd, is a traditional Chinese folk delicacy, which also exists in Southeast Asia. Bean curd is usually divided into three categories: green, red and white.

White bean curd is represented by Guilin bean curd. Guilin bean curd has a long history and is well known, as far back as the Song Dynasty. It is one of the three treasures of Guilin. Guilin fermented bean curd has a set of processes from grinding, filtering to shaping, pressing dry, mildew, and material selection is also very careful. The fermented bean curd is small, fine and soft in texture, orange transparent on the surface, delicious and fragrant, rich in nutrition, improve appetite, help digestion, is commonly used food, but also cooking seasoning. In May 1937, in the National handicraft products Exhibition held in Shanghai, Guilin curd was highly praised, and thus sold well at home and abroad. In 1983, it was rated as the national high quality food.

The raw material of fermented bean curd is the “white blank” of dried bean curd. White billets were inoculated with the right kind of mold, cultured under the right conditions, and soon white hairs grew on them — and the mold multiplied. These white hairs may look scary, but there’s no need to worry about them, because they don’t do any harm. All they do is break down the proteins in the white body and produce amino acids and some B vitamins. To the long hair of the white billet rubbing hair treatment, and finally salt, become curd.

Due to its unique architectural type and strong cultural connotation, the Wind and Rain Bridge is called one of the world’s top ten unimaginable road Bridges, as it provides easy shelter from the rain.

Standing beside the river, the bridge combines the concrete moon-shaped single bridge with the characteristics of the Dong ethnic group. There are seven bridge pavilions in total.

This time, I followed the theme of “March 3 Guangxi Vacation Tourism” to walk into The Dong Autonomous County of Sanjiang, Guangxi, where I felt the learning atmosphere of the dong people, especially the Wind and Rain Bridge of Sanjiang river helped me to leave a deep impression.

The concrete architectural decoration material of the wind and Rain Bridge is centered on Chinese fir trees. During the construction, the architectural designer did not use nails completely. There are countless holes in the tree column, and the structure is slanted through with mortise and tenon joints.

In the eyes of tourists, the wind and rain Bridges of Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County in Guangxi province are numerous and varied, producing unique landscape gardens. “Wind and Rain Bridges of Sanjiang River” is the most magnificent, though not the most time-honored.

As an important post station of the ancient Tea horse Road, Shaxi was once flourishing, but with the fading of the role of the ancient Tea horse Road, it was abandoned by civilized society.

Shaxi, an ancient town, has gone through a process of development, expansion, glory, and decline, leaving only silent stone Bridges, ancient roads, and ancient streets quietly telling its past. Compared with other ancient towns, there are few tourists in Shaxi. There are also many local people living in the town. There are many characteristic art shops, small bars, and b&BS along the streets of the town, and the names of each shop are full of a romantic atmosphere.

Shaxi is quite peaceful in the twilight, with a full moon hanging on the ridge of the ancient stage as if you can hear the sound of the stars flowing.
