While offering sacrifices to King Yu, people also offer sacrifices to the god of land, the god of flowers, the silkworm girl, the door gods, the god of the house, Jiang Taigong, etc. During the event, "Fishing and Killing the Family" is a must-perform play, which expresses people's hope and yearning for a better life. 2.
