This newspaper (reporter Li Jiaoyan, Xu Fang, Zhang Mengyue, correspondent Lan Wangyan) April in the world, spring and Jingming. In addition to sweeping tombs and worshipping ancestors, traveling and traveling, the rich and colorful folk activities throughout the province have brought a stronger cultural color to this traditional festival.

When it comes to Qingming food, how can there be no "glutinous" Qingming kueh. In Zhouchu Village, She Town, Liucheng, Wuyi County, every Qingming Festival, the local She villagers will make a special delicacy - Shanha Kueh, which is also the Qingming Kueh of the She family.

Skinning, kneading, stuffing...... Early in the morning, the She villagers are busy cutting the washed and squeezed dried rattle grass into fine pieces, boiling it on a stove fire, mixing rice flour and glutinous rice flour, and kneading it repeatedly by hand to make a ball of green dough. In the pavilion, the villagers are dressed in She costumes and gather together to make Ha Kueh. When wrapping, two fingers flexibly pinch smooth flower folds on the kueh, and the silver ornaments on the body jingle with the movement. On the side, young people also learned in a similar way. This emerald green kueh not only carries the expectation of spring, but also the adherence of the children of the She family to traditional culture. Lan Xiaoyan, a villager, introduced: "Every household in the village will make mountain hakueh, and the flower folds pinched on it are not only like the unique embroidery lines of the She family, but also like the feathers on the phoenix totem of the She family, implying happiness and auspiciousness." ”

This verdant taste is quietly turning into a password for rural revitalization. Tourists come along the kueh incense and touch the She culture between the pinched pleats and fillings. Zhang Ziqiu, a tourist from Shanghai, said after experiencing the handmade mountain hakueh: "Seeing that they are all making kueh, we are also very curious, and we learned to make a few together, which tasted chewy and refreshing, which made us feel the breath of spring." ”

Outside of food, there's nothing else to it. Shanlian Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, is full of people at the foot of the mountain. Silkworm farmers hold bamboo baskets and wear silkworm flower hair ornaments, following the custom of "rolling silkworm flowers" for nearly a thousand years, praying for a bumper harvest of silkworms and a bumper harvest of grains.

On the day of the Qingming Festival, the 27th Hanshan "Silkworm Rolling" folk customs activity kicked off in Hanshan Future Hechuang Valley, Shanlian Town. This intangible cultural heritage folk activity, which has lasted for nearly a thousand years, injects a new era of expression into the thousand-year-old sericulture through the diversified collision of modern aesthetics, youth entrepreneurship and intangible cultural heritage skills.

  祈福大典结束后,身着蚕丝华服的蚕花娘娘开始巡游撒蚕花。沿途,传统音乐与互动表演相伴,再现蚕桑文化的辉煌。在“百人扎蚕花体验区”,游客在非遗代表性传承人指导下,学习蚕花扎制技艺,沉浸式体验传统技艺。00后游客小林将刚刚制作完成的蚕花戴在头上,手托直播杆兴奋地对镜头说:“这才是文化和潮流!姐妹们都来这里‘轧’出美丽。”

The cultural connotation of Qingming is also left in the museum. In the Cifu Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty Deshou Palace Ruins Museum in Hangzhou, more than 30 citizens and tourists sat around the long table, and a hand-made experience of "grass and wood dyeing fans" was underway.

"During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Qingming Festival was not only a solemn festival of remembrance, but also a spring festival for outings and tea tastings. Teacher Wu Haifang introduced. Extracting dyes from seasonal plants and trees during the Qingming Dynasty, using the intangible cultural heritage technique of Xiaoshan cross-river cloth, Song Yun patterns such as cranes and group flowers were dyed on silk...... A plain white fan was dyed in this way with the poetic scene of the Song people's "smoke willow painting bridge".

The Qingming season and the elegance of life in the Song Dynasty meet today's people, writing the endless vitality of traditional festivals.
