The traditional festival of Gaoshan people: Fishing Festival on the first night
The fishing festival on the first night is a folk sacrifice festival for the ya'mei people of Gaoshan Nationality in Taiwan. It is held on the night of the third day of the third lunar month every year. This is the first night fishing sacrifice held at sea during the flying fish season of that year, so it is called the first night fishing sacrifice.
At the fishing festival on the first night, the captain of the first fishing boat sailing into the sea presided over the sacrifice. First, tie a pig on the ship, let the pig bleed into the sea, put an urn containing clean water and an oar in the bow of the ship, and then sprinkle a small scoop of millet and clean water into the sea to sacrifice the spirit of flying fish. After the sacrifice, start fishing. When the first flying fish was caught, the helmsman stuffed the little bamboo stained with chicken blood brought by the captain into the mouth of the flying fish and said, 'catch a lot of flying fish!', In order to return with a full load. Then the fish must not be taken home for food, but must be put on the ship. Yamei depends on the fishing volume of the ship this night to predict the abundance and apology of the fishery in this flood season.
