How to make a fire in my hometown

Hometown community fires are as follows:

1, playing social fire was fun when I was a child, but the social fire in my hometown is well known. It is famous for its elegance, boldness, atmosphere, various forms and richness.

2. A well-made social fire is like an actor who is about to perform on stage. Everywhere he went, there were a large group of "fans" of social fire, who surrounded him until he got on the horse, and the deafening sound of gongs and drums sounded. With the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers, the quiet village in the past boiled. Men, women and children all laughed, and a plum blossom in the first month opened on their faces, pouring out of their homes in unison, shouting in unison: watch the social fire go!

The climax of playing social fire is generally around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When I was a child, our village used to play with lions, run roller coasters, plunge into the core, walk on stilts, play with dragon lanterns and set off fireworks almost every year. The community fire in our village has a great influence. Mainly there are a group of enthusiastic people who can knock, play, sing, draw, speak, sing, guide and perform, and actively organize.

The Story of the Origin of Shehuo in Lantern Festival

According to legend, in the early years, our ancestors had no houses to live in, either in the Woods or in caves. At that time, fierce beasts and birds of prey came out to eat people in the mountains and Pingchuan every day. People hide, there is nowhere to hide, but they can't fight again and again. Many people are eaten by wild animals every day. Especially in the winter festival, because of the cold weather, there are no small animals on the mountains and no crops in the fields, and those wild animals are even more fierce. They eat people when they see them.

In order to live a quiet life, people get together to find a way, find a way, and slowly discover that those beasts also have strong and weak points and inner struggles. They often kill each other for turf and food. You eat me today, and I will eat you tomorrow. As long as lions, tigers and leopards roar, other wild animals will run around in fear. When the phoenix calls, all birds are like tourist traps, and even their wings can't be opened.

Therefore, people began to imitate the lion's roar to make gongs, the tiger's roar to make cymbals, the leopard's voice to make drums, and the phoenix's voice to make flutes. Whenever there are crowds of birds and animals, everyone will take out gongs, cymbals, drums and flutes, and play and dance until dawn. Hearing this from a distance, birds and animals thought they had broken into the territory of lions, tigers, leopards and phoenixes again, and all fled in panic.

Later, it was passed down from generation to generation, and it became a custom to have a social fire on the fifteenth day of the first month.
