Areal.

The camp sergeant is a traditional folk ritual activity in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong. The battalion of the camp god is the Chaoshan dialect. "Grandfather" refers to the patron saint of a town or village in the Chaoshan area. There are many famous names in the Chaoshan area, and the foreigners are completely indistinguishable. Although the camp ritual activities are held in the first month, each town has different dates and customs, there are running, and there are fights... The people who watched were stunned. The team of parade consists of young adults in the village, girls and children. The young and middle-aged people carried the eight-lifted sedan and carried the masters to the roads and alleys in the village. The team consisted of the squad (the plaque), the players (the cards), the bearers and the musicians. "The lord of the camp" is used to pray for good weather and peace in the village. When the old man is at the intersection, the villagers can touch the master with their hands. According to legend, they can bring good luck and keep a safe one year. The activity lasts from day to night, and the whole day is full of fun. For the locals, the importance is comparable to that of the Spring Festival or even more. Many young people working in other places may not go home during the Spring Festival, but the camp lord will never be absent this day.
