On September 15, 2024, Hualan Village, Liandu Town, Fengkai County ushered in the triennial Autumn Festival-Taotan Festival.
The event attracted more than 20,000 guests from afar to celebrate the harvest, taste the harvest, talk about the harvest, and immerse themselves in the joy of the harvest.
The cultural parade was wonderful
At nine o'clock in the morning, the double lions and folk art parade team paraded around the village, showing the unique charm of Fengkai County's folk intangible cultural heritage projects to tourists and villagers.
In addition, more than 350 "daughters" who married out dressed in their best clothes, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, brought gifts and collectively agreed to return to their parents' home to express gratitude to their hometown and fellow villagers, celebrate the joy of the harvest, talk about hometown feelings, and seek common development.
Ten thousand people revel in "Taotan"
The "Taotan Festival" in Hualan Village is one of the "Fengkai Autumn Festival" activities, which belongs to the intangible cultural heritage of Zhaoqing City. This custom has a history of 422 years. It is a traditional folk activity for local villagers to express their respect for the land god and celebrate the joy of the harvest.
The highlight of the event is "Taotan". When the sun shines on the base of the pond, the folk activity officially begins.
Ten "tan heads" on duty among the villagers stood on bamboo rafts carrying raw tea bran, some beat gongs, some steered the boats, and the fish would faint after sucking in the raw tea bran. The tan heads would pump water to drive the fish to the edge of the pond, and gongs and drums would be loud on the shore. Around the pond, the silk workers used silk nets to catch fish.
The first big fish salvaged was used for worship and blessing, and then everyone shared the fish and held a banquet to enjoy the harvest.
It is understood that more than 1500 kilograms of fish were caught on the day of the event, and these fish were distributed to each household by the "tan heads" after the scouring of the pond.
It is worth mentioning that this year's scouring of the pond festival has been further expanded, with richer content, and it has also cleverly integrated modern elements with traditional culture, adding activities such as the Fengkai County Folk Art Parade, Fengkai County Agricultural Products Market, Food Festival, and Light Show. While inheriting and carrying forward the intangible cultural heritage, it actively explores the innovative development of folk culture.
In recent years, Fengkai County has deeply combined local intangible cultural heritage with farming customs, and carefully organized agricultural, cultural and tourism activities with local characteristics, promoting tourism with agriculture and promoting culture with tourism, activating new momentum for high-quality development of the county economy, and accelerating the release of new vitality of cultural tourism consumption.
The activities focus on attracting investment for key projects, integrating the development of industry, agriculture, culture and tourism, and creating a brand name for characteristic agricultural, cultural and tourism, creating a harvest carnival that integrates intangible cultural heritage, Cantonese heritage, and festive atmosphere, attracting tourists with festivals, promoting the county's prosperity, and showing the phased results of the construction of the "Hundred Million Project", and jointly building a happy and beautiful Fengkai that is suitable for living, working and traveling.
