Panwang Jump is a religious ritual of the Pan Yao ethnic group to worship ancestors and heroes, with a long history. The Yao people worship Panwang and offer sacrifices to him as their ancestor. With the development of society, there are several forms: 1. Totem worship. The ancestors of the Yao people regarded the dragon dog as a patron saint and offered sacrifices to it. The "Soushen Ji" of the Jin Dynasty mentioned that the ancestors of the Yao people "used mixed blood and meat, knocked on the trough and cried, to sacrifice to Panhu. "Every time it is the right time, the family members carry the dog and circle the stove three times, and then all the men and women in the family worship the dog. When they eat on that day, they must knock on the trough and rub the ground to eat, as a courtesy." This ritual is relatively simple and has a primitive religious color. 2. Return Panwang's wish. Legend has it that Panwang and his wife originally lived in Shibaodian (store) in Nanjing, a temple in Kuaiji Mountain. The Pan King was born in the 16th century, and later lived in the mountains. He worked hard and gave birth to six sons and six daughters, and the Yao people had twelve surnames. Pan Wang died while hunting. Later, his descendants suffered from national oppression and natural disasters. They left their homes and sailed across the ocean. When they encountered strong winds and huge waves, their wooden boat was in danger of being whirled to the bottom of the sea. At this critical moment of life and death, they prayed to Pan Wang and asked him to show up and rescue them. Soon, the wind and waves calmed down, and the whirlpool dispersed. After seven days and seven nights, they finally crossed the sea and landed safely. In order to repay the kindness of their ancestors, The "wish fulfillment" activity is held. 3. Emergency sacrifice to Pan Wang. If there is a plague spreading or the threat of bandits, the Yao people will discuss and beg Pan Wang, and the priests will go to Pan Wang Temple to burn incense and make wishes. If there is a war, the wish is: there is a war in a certain place, and the Yao people are hiding in the mountains, feeling uneasy day and night. They hope that Pan Wang will take charge and do things in the dark, so that the war will stay away from the land, and people and property will not be damaged, and they will live in peace. After the local area is stabilized, the garrison will work together to raise money and prepare supplies, and hold a vow fulfillment ceremony. 4. Fixed sacrifice to Pan Wang. According to ancient rules, Panwang dance is performed once a year in the tenth month of the lunar calendar after autumn. The whole ceremony lasts for three days and three nights and is full of Taoist colors. When arranging the altar, the image of Panwang, the ancestor god of the Yao people, should be hung. All the Taoist gods should be moved out, and wine and meat should be prepared, as well as ritual tools. The steps of the ceremony are to burn incense. The whole family and the master burn incense to inform the gods. Accompanied by the sound of gongs, drums, and hairpins, the burning incense is inserted into the incense burner. The music stops, and the master chants: "Hold the copper bell, open the tooth tube to the sound. Dragon and phoenix drums and music, burn incense and turn to play. If it is played as it is real, it is like a pen to communicate with all the saints. Especially the eight treasures, far away on the high platform, close at the desk. The sound of gongs and drums alarms the name of the gods, and disciples should be invited to welcome them. Ring the bell to receive the saint, kneel down as a follower of the saint, wear a golden crown on the head, wear dragon clothes, step on the cloud car, fly on the cloud and ride on the horse, retreat the car and descend, and judge the incense altar. Start with a turn of the hand and incense, and walk through the three steps of the line, and break through the dragon gate to enter the hall. "Invite the saints. First, invite the ancestor god Pan Wang, sing his achievements, and then invite him to descend to the altar. After inviting Pan Wang, invite the three yuan, namely Shangyuan Tang General, Zhongyuan Ge General, and Xiayuan Zhou General. After inviting the three yuan, invite the three pure ones (Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing). The three yuan and the three pure ones are the ancestors of the Yao people. Yao folk rituals must invite them to descend to the altar to bless the rituals to proceed smoothly. Sacrifice to Pan Wang.
