🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Rice Flower Fair is generally held on the day of the Great Heat or the day before. Later, it was fixed on June 16. On this day, the temple gods leave the temple, and every village welcomes the gods with wine offerings. The sedan chair starts from Zouxi Temple, passes Laoshu Mountain, Maoao, Zouxi, Gushan, Qian'an, Xixingwang, Shijiaqiao, and returns to Zouxi. It returns to the temple via Tangtou Street, and the temple gods enter the temple. During the Rice Flower Fair, three statues of Pei Jun sit in three exquisite wooden sedan chairs, and each sedan chair holds a large yellow dragon umbrella behind it. There are flags and gongs in front to lead the way, followed by five large flags fluttering in the wind, twenty-three large gongs, the sound of gongs is deafening, and guns and cannons roar; behind the sedan chairs follows a group of people who fulfill their vows, dressed as "prisoners" wearing red clothes and shackles, followed by jailers, and finally tens of thousands of guild people, who travel through the rice fields in a mighty procession, offering wine offerings to the temples of each village until the last stop.
