When does Huaiyuan Dongshan Temple Fair start? How many days * * *?

Since 1999, Huaiyuan county government has designated March 28th of the lunar calendar as Dongshan Temple Fair in Huaiyuan county. A week.

Dongshan Temple Fair is a gathering of Han folk culture that integrates folk sacrifices and commercial activities. Its historical origin may be that when Dayu was in charge of water control, Yu was sealed in the earth mountain, and people sang, danced and drummed, thus forming the embryonic form of the Flower Drum Lantern.

History: "The earth mountain in Zhongli County, Haozhou is in the temple, painted on the top of the 96-mile mountain in the west of the state, and the only wood carving hall is the god." It was not until the Zheng De period of the Ming Dynasty that there was a fairly macro system: "The front and rear halls were revived and new; The doors, walls and wings are neat; On the second floor of the bell and drum, it stands tall, magnificent and far-reaching. " (Rebuilding Yuci Monument in the Next Ten Years)

Yu Temple now covers an area of about 3,000 square meters, facing south, and the building is divided into three axes: middle, east and west. At its peak, there were five halls, nine courtyards and ten halls, and now there are more than 20 rooms left.

On the central axis, there are seven tile houses at the first entrance, the first five of which are of the same height in the west and the mountain gate in the middle. On Gong Erduo, a native of Yi nationality in Qing Dynasty, wrote the book "Pass the son to open three generations of bureaus and come to Wang for eight years". On the wall on the west side of the mountain gate, a poem written by Wang Shao, a famous minister in the Song Dynasty, was originally written: "The earth mountain is vast, and the Jade Emperor divides water here." Now there are ten big characters in the horizontal book, "The empty mountain hangs on four walls, and the ancient temple is absolutely unique."
