Dai Bai Festival

In the autumn, Dai Bai village has an important festival, the death anniversary of the profession's ancestors on the 29th day of the 9th lunar month. On this day, villagers go to work and return in droves to perform ceremonies and perform village affairs, called deacon fees and rituals to present wealth and age. On the anniversary of the death anniversary of the village's craft ancestors, the village organizes a procession of the holy master of the craft from Dien Loc communal house to the craft ancestor's mausoleum for a public announcement ceremony, then returns to the communal house to worship on the morning of September 28. The procession consists of both men and women, including men aged 45, 46, 47, 48 and women aged 59. Each age group does one thing. Specifically: Age 45 takes the lead, responsible for carrying the sacred flag, drum, big gong, and sacred horse. Next is the procession lineup led by the age of 46, including Bat Bieu, Hau Banh and Tan. Age 47 is responsible for the Flag Fan, Dragon Pavilion and Parasol. Next is the Buddhist temple procession led by young women under the command of 59-year-old ladies who follow right behind the Buddha temple.  The procession lineup led by the age of 48 went last, including Bat Tribute and Tan. On the afternoon of September 28, there are "Wealth Presentation" rituals for those aged 48 and 58; "Age Presentation" ceremony for those aged 49, 59, 69 and 79. The morning of the main day of the Festival, September 29, is the ceremony to worship the Patriarch. The celebrant is mandarin Tran Van Lanh. This is the most important and most respectful ritual of the Craft Ancestor's Anniversary Festival. According to ancient village rules, only the kings and bosses were given the role of priest. The main offering on the Ancestor's Day is a prepared meal, each village prepares 2 trays, plus sticky rice with chicken and gifts of cakes. People from far away places will have a ceremony accompanied by bronze and silver-engraved items that they invented to pay homage to the Craft Patriarch. It's true: Thien load's reputation is a classic dictionary of the Van Nien sect and develops the spirit. Meaning: Thousands of years of honor record the ceremony, Long years the country enjoys the sacredness. Copper craft brings prosperity to the villagers and brings fame to the village. The gratitude to the Patriarch and the Later Masters is boundless.
