Ancestor worship culture
Introduction to the Ancestral Worship Festival at the Great Locust Tree
As the tide of reform has surged, “root‑ancestor culture” activities—centered around the historic site of the ancient Dahuaishu tree—have flourished as never before. Across the land of Jiuzhou and throughout the world, descendants of the Dahuaishu tree are increasingly driven by a deep yearning to return home and trace their roots, while the wave of pilgrimages to their ancestral homeland grows stronger with each passing day. To align with this historic trend, in 1991, the Hongtong County Party Committee and County Government, adopting the approach of “using culture as a stage for economic development,” organized the first Hongtong Dahuaishu “Root‑Seeking and Ancestral Worship” Festival, designating it to take place annually from April 1 to 10, with its principal observance falling on Qingming Festival—the traditional Han Chinese tomb‑sweeping day. On the eve of the inaugural Root‑Seeking and Ancestral Worship Festival, tens of thousands of small birds descended from the sky, first flying toward Hongtong County.
