When is the eighth day of the eighth lunar month? The eighth day of the eighth lunar month is a folk tide-watching festival in Zhejiang.
Tide-watching Festival is a folk festival of Han nationality. Popular in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Jiaxing and other places. It is said that this festival existed in the Southern Song Dynasty. Hangzhou people have been watching the tide since the eleventh, and they came out from the sixteenth and eighteenth cities. From Miaozitou to Pagoda of Six Harmonies, the buildings along the river are rented as visitors. Since the early Qing Dynasty, tidal observation has been moved to Haining, Jiaxing, due to the diversion of the river.
The so-called "tide" is a general term for the regular fluctuation of seawater, which is formed by the sun and the moon attracting the earth and seawater. When the moon and the moon are at the same time, or just the opposite, they are very attractive, so the tide is big. During the first quarter and the second quarter, the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart, and the gravity is scattered and weak, so the tide is small.
The tide of Qiantang River, as high as three feet, is the first spring tide in China, which is formed because of the topography and structure. When the tide just came out of Haimen from a distance, it was like a silver line. Soon after approaching, it will be like a horizontal stone, like a thunder drum, like a white horse galloping, and the Yinshan Mountain will crack, which will swallow the sky and soak up the sun; In Haining, the momentum will be extremely strong, just like the snow-capped mountains in Yin Cheng, surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, which is unstoppable; When I arrived in Hangzhou, it was already a spent force and the momentum was greatly reduced. Su Shi has the poem "August 18th tide, spectacular world without"; Yang Wanli has the praise of "the sea is vast and silver is the country, and the river is horizontal and jade is the waist".
Qianjiang Tide Watching began in Han and Wei Dynasties, flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties, and lasted for more than two thousand years. The Southern Song Dynasty is scheduled to inspect the navy on the Qiantang River on August 18th of the lunar calendar (the so-called birthday of the tide god), and it has become a habit to watch the tide since then. Su Dongpo praised: "August 18th tide is spectacular. Kunpeng hit the water for three thousand miles, and trained a long drive of 100 thousand people. The red flag and green cover gradually disappear, and the black sand and white waves eat each other. When life encounters ancient difficulties, this trip has two benefits. "
In the old customs, the Tide Watching Festival is also the Tide God Festival. In the past, whenever this day, people rose everywhere in the sand to worship the tide god, called "the head of the tide god" or "the tide meeting" The incense in Zhangmiao, Zhenhai Hall, Jinghai Hall and Jingjiang Hall is very strong.
This custom is related to the frequent bank collapse at the mouth of Qiantang River. At that time, people could not understand the cause of the tide, so it was inevitable to pierce the frontier meeting with divine power, so the legend of the tide god came into being. There are many tide gods at the mouth of Qiantang River in history, but it is Zhang Lao, the "xianggong", that is, Zhang Xia, a water transport official in the Northern Song Dynasty, who is generally worshipped by people in the sand. Every Shen Chao Festival, "Tanjiang River" and the sixth birthday of the old "xianggong" in March of the lunar calendar, sacrifices are made.
The traditional tidal resort is Yan Guan Town in Haining, so it is also called "Haining Tide". Around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, more than 6,543,800 people gather in this scenic spot with zhenhai tower, Sea Temple and Zhongshan Pavilion, forming a huge crowd and being very lively.
There are three good places to watch the tide. First of all, near Yanguan, you can see the "first-line tide" in Yin Tao rolling neatly. Second, in the Babao Gorge to the east of Yan Guan, we can see the collision of two tidal heads in the east and south, which set off a "tidal wave" of ten thousand icebergs and snow peaks thousands of miles away. Thirdly, in the old salt storage in the west of Yan Guan, you can see that after the tide has surged over the T-shaped dam, the waves stand on the wall and rush to the "resurgence" in the sky.
Because the tide is retrograde at the speed of 25 kilometers per hour, if you watch the tide three times, you must race with the tide head by the tide-watching car. You can see the tide in Babao first, then enjoy the scenery of the first-line tide in Yan Guan, and finally enjoy the resurgence in the old salt warehouse. Because there are many kinds of tidal bore and the best place to watch it is uncertain, we can choose it carefully according to the specific situation.
