In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, every household in Foshan's four townships will help the old and bring the young. From morning till night, they will walk across Tongji Bridge from north to south with windmills, wind chimes and lettuce to pray for peace and prosperity in the coming year.

For more than 200 years, Foshan people have continued the custom of helping the poor from generation to generation. Moreover, there is a proverb that there is no closure. You want to help? Every year on the 16th day of the first month, Foshan people have a custom.

Everyone in Foshan knows the proverb "No worries, no worries, everything goes well". Tongji, a folk activity, has entrusted Foshan people with their beautiful expectations and wishes for life.

Every year on the 16th day of the first month, no one comes forward to organize. Foshan is deserted, and people from some towns and villages in nearby Nanhai, Sanshui, Gaoming and Shunde also come to participate in the bridge for the same hope.

Yu Wanshao, an expert from Foshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Office, said that there is a saying in the society that it will take three years to get relief, but when they were young, they went to Tongji Bridge many times without interruption, and they never heard the old people mention this statement.

After that, they checked the history books and found no such records. In addition, Foshan people's well-known saying that "it is good for the economy and has not closed down" is not recorded in the history books. Other experts generally agree with this statement. Therefore, the slogan of "all-round development, not closed" was formed later.
