Compare big pigs and show folk customs. On February 12, the eighth day of the first month, the folk custom activity of “Celebrating the Spring Festival and Comparing Big Pigs” was held in Baifengqiao Temple, Fengjiang Street, Luqiao District, to demonstrate the folk belief culture in Luqiao District.
The big white pig has a golden orange in its mouth, red satin on its head, lanterns in its ears, red paper on its body, and a two foot high slanting frame under its broken belly, which is like a square array of people being read in turn. The lively temple fair celebration places villagers’ expectations on a good weather, a peaceful country and a peaceful people, and a bumper harvest this year. In addition to the big pig, the temple fair also has a highlight of watching folk customs. Traditional folk arts, such as dragon dance, lion dance, sprinkling ruler, folk horn, martial arts, lotus flower, etc., were staged in turn at the Baifengqiao Temple Fair, winning cheers from villagers. At this year’s “Big Pig Competition” activity, more than 20 pigs carefully selected by each insurance bureau, after public, fair and fair weighing and evaluation, finally, the big pig selected by Hou’an Chen, a floating row resident, became the “Number One” this year with a net weight of 836 kg white meat.
