It's March now, and I'm still in Fuzhou celebrating the New Year with the gods

The significance of the parade of gods is not only to pray for blessings, it is also the epitome of Fuzhou's intangible cultural heritage, integrating such intangible cultural heritage elements as bamboo weaving skills, lacquerware, and Shiban music, which is why there are so many majestic and vivid images of gods. How long is the year for Fujianese people? As long as the first month of the lunar year is over, people in Fujian are still celebrating the New Year. On the 26th day of the first lunar month this year, I also rushed to Changle Houfu in Fuzhou to participate in the most grand parade and "chase the star" of Prince Zhao.

The first thing to note when watching the parade is not to wear clothes that are too beautiful. If you are not careful, firecrackers may blow a hole in them.
