There is an Aoshan Mountain near Aoshan River in Dashi Township, leiyang city City, Hunan Province. There is a special temple on the mountain called Aoshan Temple.
Aoshan Temple is located in Dashi Township, south bank of Aohe River, leishui, which is 15km away from Leiyang City. It was developed from Zhen 'an Temple, a Buddhist temple in Leiyang (built in 557 of the first year of Chen Yongding in the Southern Dynasties). Legend has it that God Wang Aoshen spared no effort to protect the safety of boatmen on the Aohe River, and the local people built this Aoshan Temple to thank him for his kindness. Aoshan Temple used to be magnificent and its incense was flourishing, especially the Aoshan Temple Fair, which was very lively. There was a saying: "If you want to see Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, you can see half of the Aoshan Temple". During the Great Revolution, Lin Biao, according to the arrangement of Zhu De, commanded the uprising troops in southern Hunan to ambush the Kuomintang troops here, and won the first victory in military history. Therefore, Aoshan Temple is more famous. I don't know since when, Aoshan Temple holds many temple fairs every year, especially the mass large-scale parade on the second day of the first lunar month. Its large number of participants, high enthusiasm and large scale attracted a large number of tourists to watch. Every cruise, there are three paper boats, each 5 meters long, 0.77 meters wide and 2 meters high. Guanlun is affixed to the ship, with a width of 0.3m, a length of1.8m and a height of 0.3m, which is the highest in China. In addition, bamboo and colored paper are used to form dramatic story characters and landscapes, which are lifelike.
At eight o'clock in the morning on the second day of the first month, guns started everywhere, and Minlang set off elegantly. At this time, the gongs and drums were loud and crowded, and the ships set off along the established route, which was mighty and orderly. Nine temple fairs, including March 3rd, May 23rd, June 6th, July 1st, 12th, September 13th and the 15th of the first month, are also very lively.
The Aoshan Temple Fair is a typical folk belief activity, which brings together Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and folk auspicious gods (Wang Ao and Aomu) in one temple. Worshiping Buddha and offering sacrifices to God not only follows Buddhist laws, but also has its own etiquette, which has a wide influence in Leiyang, Hengyang, Hengnan, Anren, Yongxing and Changning. Many traditional folk rituals, crafts, dances, music and performing arts have been preserved in the temple fair activities, such as offering sacrifices, burning incense, singing operas, cruise ships, dragon and lion dances, etc. It plays a positive role in the protection of folk art and has high value in the study of local folk customs in Leiyang. In June 2006, 10 was listed as the first batch of "representative works of intangible cultural heritage in Hunan Province".
