This year's autumn festival in Foshan, in addition to retaining the previous autumn festival, rural drinking ceremony and autumn parade, also added a special "autumn competition" link. What is "Autumn Competition"? It turns out that in traditional autumn activities, people spontaneously make various autumn handicrafts for the public to choose from, which is the so-called "autumn sports meeting". In recent years, the unified arrangement of autumn parade activities has weakened the nature of "competition" as a folk art competition.
This year's Autumn Festival "Autumn Competition" includes various performances and autumn artworks.
The "shoulders" and "table tops" that have disappeared for many years (that is, simulated autumn colors) were tied back to the parade site. Performers use bamboo baskets, square tables, etc. The supply of fish, snacks, vegetables, fruits and so on. And push them to "sell" all the way, making it difficult for the audience to distinguish between true and false.
