The 10th day of the second lunar month is the day when Laozi, the legendary founder of Taoism, was enlightened. According to relevant historical records, more than 60 emperors came to Louguan to offer sacrifices to Laozi in history. In the folk, in order to commemorate Laozi, people specially chose to hold a three-day sacrificial ceremony from the 9th to 11th day of the 2nd lunar month, during which hundreds of thousands of people participated in the sacrificial ceremony every year, and then gradually formed the Louguan Ancient Temple Fair with a fixed date and form, which developed into the largest annual rural gathering in zhouzhi county.
It is understood that one of the most important activities in the blessing ceremony is to worship Laozi. Every year in the early morning of the memorial day, the surrounding villagers will spontaneously form a mighty team of thousands of people and go to the Sanqing Hall in the scenic spot to worship Laozi with carefully prepared tributes. In the morning 10, in front of Tianchi Square, Wuji Chao, a scenic spot in Gu Lou, Zhong Nanshan, a picture of "purple gas coming from the east to welcome guests" reappeared in front of tourists, which made these Taoist cultural lovers feel the legendary traditional folk custom of "purple gas coming from the east".
In recent years, the number of people who worship Laozi has exceeded 65,438+10,000 every year. In order to cooperate with this year's blessing ceremony for Laozi, the site also prepared Chinese learning experience activities for tourists and friends, such as making rubbings, learning to write brushes, making writing brushes and learning to make paper. The people who came to worship Laozi mainly came from Zhouzhi, Huxian, Yangling and Xi 'an. While paying homage to the traditional Taoist culture, most people can also visit buildings, visit temple fairs and watch big plays, and feel the charm of Shaanxi Guanzhong folk culture in an all-round way.
