Compiled by Sun Yanhu Haiyang's "Sea Sacrifice" originated in the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 500 years. It is mainly spread in more than 80 fishing villages along the coast, including Taoyuan, Huandai'an, Fangli, Daxinjia, Gangbei, Lengjiazhuang, Nanzhuang, Shaojiazhuang, Fengcheng, Lugubu, Haifeng, Zhuangshang, Chaoli, Chaowai, Dingzizui, Dayanjia, Hejia, Nanlizi, Magudao, etc. In ancient times, fishermen had relatively backward fishing tools and often encountered shipwrecks with casualties. People could not explain why the originally calm sea suddenly became so ferocious and terrifying with strong winds and surging waves. Therefore, various speculations, imaginations, and legends came into being. In order to pray to the Dragon King of the Sea to protect the safety of people and ships, fishermen carry steamed buns, pig heads, and big fish on large wooden plates and carry firecrackers, paper incense, and wine in baskets to the Dragon King Temple on the seaside to offer sacrifices on the 13th day of the first lunar month every year, praying for a safe trip to the sea, smooth sailing, and surplus every year. Haiyang's "Sea Sacrifice" (the 13th day of the first lunar month) is a traditional folk festival exclusively for fishermen. At the beginning, fishermen spontaneously carried out the same worship activities at a fixed time and in accordance with a fixed procedure as a family. Later, with the need for sacrificial activities, "deacons" (people who organize this activity) appeared, and the scale became larger and the content became richer. Fishermen not only worship the Dragon King of the Sea, but also the God of Wealth, praying for the safety of people and ships and making a lot of money. In the early morning of the 13th day of the first lunar month every year, fishermen bring various offerings from their homes to the seaside or in front of the Dragon King Temple, set them off firecrackers, burn incense and paper, and kneel down to worship. Some sacrificial activities invite multiple yangko teams to participate, and vendors also gather here, which is very lively. Haiyang's "sea sacrifice" activity is a typical representative of fishing culture, fully expressing the simple feelings of fishermen who are both in awe of and dependent on nature, and embodying the harmonious unity of man and nature.
