Suzhou City God Temple Fair is a folk custom project in the fourth batch of representative projects of Suzhou's municipal intangible cultural heritage. Suzhou City God Temple has a long history. It was moved to its current location in the third year of Hongwu (1370) and has a history of more than 600 years. The belief in the City God is prevalent among the people of Suzhou. People pray for blessings, report recovery, and make wishes every day. Huang Xie, the Lord of Chu, and Tang Bin, the governor of Jiangsu during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, made contributions to the people of Suzhou during their lifetime. After their death, they were worshipped as City Gods. The people prayed to them for rain and clear weather, and asked them to ward off disasters and eliminate epidemics in the hope of bringing well-being. The most typical and distinctive items of Suzhou City God Temple Fair are as follows. The fifth day of the first lunar month welcomes the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth worshipped by the people of Suzhou is "Lutou Bodhisattva". Lutou means the God of Road. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Suzhou had a developed business and frequent commodity circulation. All of this relied on the accessibility of roads, so the God of Road was transformed into the God of Wealth. It is said that the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Lu Tou Bodhisattva. On that day, every household will welcome Lu Tou Bodhisattva to their home to celebrate his birthday. The God of Wealth is also enshrined in Suzhou City God Temple, and a ceremony to welcome the God of Wealth is also held in the temple. The Wenchang Temple Fair is held on the third day of the second lunar month every year, which is the birthday of Emperor Wenchang. Emperor Wenchang is also known as Wenquxing and Emperor Zitong. He is the god in charge of the official positions of the world. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, temples of Emperor Wenchang were built in all counties of Suzhou. On the birthday of Emperor Wenchang, people go to the Temple of Emperor Wenchang to worship him. To the sound of bells and drums, they wash their hands in the "Sanyuan" jar, throw red coins, and cross the dragon gate. The rituals imply winning three yuan in a row and carp jumping over the dragon gate. Scholars and students take the opportunity to recite poems and write essays and exchange ideas with each other. Emperor Wenchang is also enshrined in Suzhou City God Temple, and the incense is strong. The Wenchang Temple Fair was restored in 2009. In the past, every Qingming Festival, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and the first day of the tenth lunar month, the city god of Suzhou and more than 30 earth and grain gods of one prefecture and three counties would go through Shantang Street to Huqiu County Litai to be worshipped, commonly known as the "three festivals", and Qingming Festival was the most grand. The ceremonial guard of the temple fair was like a tour of an official, followed by many good men and women, who knelt and chanted while walking, which was called "worshiping incense". In addition, there were many folk art performances such as carrying pavilions and stilts in the team. The folk band also played while walking. There were also folk jugglers who played knives and guns. The Suzhou City God Temple Fair is a close integration of Taoist culture and folk culture, with distinct local characteristics and rich connotations. It embodies people's admiration and remembrance of past figures such as Chunshen Jun, Tang Bin, and Xu Hongmou; the activities of welcoming the God of Wealth and the Wenchang Temple Fair are historical witnesses of the development of Suzhou's commodity economy and the trend of respecting culture and education. The City God Temple Fair was once regarded as a grand festival by urban and rural residents. It enlivened the cultural life of the general public, expressed people's life vision, and promoted moral spirits such as punishing evil and promoting good, respecting culture and education, being grateful to ancestors, and maintaining harmony and unity. It played a positive role in maintaining the stability of the society at that time. Today, it is still a valuable resource that can be used to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the masses and promote the harmonious development of society.
