After going inside to worship~ Only then did I discover😱It turns out that this is the origin of salt water bee cannons~The little girl is really blind and blind~It’s so amazing⋯⋯ The scenes that I only see on the news every time appear in front of my eyes~ In addition to the front hall...it turns out that there is a larger Jade Emperor Hall at the back~ If you look carefully, you will find traces of history. Every place is carefully crafted. It is very Taiwanese. According to the inscription on the Yanshui Temple, it was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and renovated during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

(Translated by Google) The Shuiwu Temple, also known as the "Guandi Temple," was built during the Ming and Yongli years. Until 1799, Lukang Lin Wenjun went to Taiwan's capital city due to a case. When he was recalled, he felt that the emperor's holy monarch blessed him safe and sound. This custom of setting bee cannons is said to have a deep relationship with the Wu Temple. According to legend, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a plague in the salt water area, and many people died in the day. The residents were very panicked. Guan Shengdijun was first aided and safe. Sure enough, Guan Shengdijun showed his great power and instructed the Lantern Festival to order Zhou Cangye to be a pioneer. Guan Shengdijun’s guard team behind the palace, all the believers set off firecrackers along with the mikoshi. After returning to the temple, the salt water place calmed down. The people deeply felt that Guan Shengdijun was prosperous. Every year the Lantern Festival was practiced and used bee cannons to expel the plague. It has evolved into the 14th and 15th of the first lunar month of the lunar calendar. The bee artillery event has become an annual event in the local area. Wu Temple has established this as the organizer of this profound folk art event and wrote a brilliant page in the history of salt water. Residents believe that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the more bombs on their bodies, the more prosperous the fortune in the coming year, so there are centuries-old legends, remember to prepare helmets, masks and transparent eye masks, plus raincoats, rubber shoes and other standard equipment (Original) 鹽水武廟又稱「關帝廟」建於明永曆年間，至西元1799年，鹿港林文濬因案至臺灣府城，召還時因感關帝聖君保佑他平安無事，遂出資改建，始見規模。 這放蜂炮的習俗，據說跟武廟有很深的淵源，相傳在清光緒年間，鹽水地區發生瘟疫，日死者眾，居民非常恐慌，無奈之下只靠求神問佛，祈求本地神威最盛的關聖帝君急救平安，果然關聖帝君大顯神威，指示元宵夜命周倉爺做先鋒開路，關聖帝君殿後護隊，眾信徒隨神轎一路燃放鞭炮，邊境大街小巷至天明，神轎才返回廟裏，自此之後，鹽水地方才平靜安定下來，民眾深感關聖帝君神威顯赫，每年元宵節沿習成例，以蜂炮驅逐瘟疫，演變至今為每年農曆元月14、15日蜂炮活動，成為地方一年一度的盛事，武廟將此典立了這項深具民俗藝術活動的主辦單位，更在鹽水的歷史上寫下了燦爛的一頁。 居民咸信在元宵當天，身上被炸得炮愈多，來年運勢就會愈旺，所以流傳百年的古老傳說，記得備妥安全帽、口罩和透明眼罩，外加雨衣、膠鞋等標準裝備

(Translated by Google) The starting point of the world-renowned religious festival, the Saltwater Bee Cannon, is this martial arts temple dedicated to Emperor Guan. As you approached the temple, you could see a solemn and mighty statue of Emperor Guan. There was also a five-clawed golden dragon beside the god (unfortunately, a few of its claws were broken), which further highlighted the majesty of Emperor Guan! If you come to participate in the Yuejin Port Lantern Festival recently, there are 3D painted double-sided paintings next to the temple. From two different angles, you can enjoy the different poses of Guan Shengdijun on display, which is quite interesting! There is also a three-dimensional concave sculpture, no matter which angle you go to, Guan Shengdijun will watch you as you move. In the evening, there is also a tree of life lantern show behind the temple. The most interesting thing is that the tiger is biting the bee cannon, fighting the virus that symbolizes this scourge of the world, and praying for an early cessation of the epidemic. (Original) 全世界知名的宗教節慶活動－鹽水蜂炮的起點，就是這間祭祀關聖帝君的武廟。一靠近廟宇，映入眼簾的是一座莊嚴威武的關聖帝君神像，神旁還有一隻五爪金龍（可惜有幾隻爪子斷了），更襯托出關聖帝君的氣宇軒昂！ 近期如果有來參加月津港燈節，廟旁有3D彩繪雙面畫，從不同的兩個角度，可以欣賞到關聖帝君不同的姿勢展出，相當有趣！還有一個立體凹雕，無論走到哪個角度，關聖帝君都會隨著你的移動而注視著你。 晚上廟後還有生命樹燈展可以欣賞，最有意思的應該是，老虎咬著蜂炮，打擊象徵這次禍害全球的病毒，祈求疫情早日平息。

The old temple with a long history is located in the north of Yanshui City. You can see it by walking along the "Dashui ditch".

I feel very proud to be a salt water person 👍 The annual bee cannons are always the most anticipated Desire that everyone will follow and continue this sacred tradition We also welcome more people to come to Li Feng Pao, Salt water bee cannons are also known as "North sky lantern, south bee cannon" It is an international folklore activity.

(Translated by Google) The Saltwater Martial Arts Temple, famous for its saltwater bee cannon, is actually a temple with a history! Why is the Wu Temple Fair related to the bee cannon? Take a look at the following legends! At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the spread of the plague, the salt water declined, and the local people prayed for Guan Shengdijun to travel around the country. At that time, it was decided to make a detour from the 13th day of the first lunar month on the ascension day of Guan Shengdijun to the Lantern Festival, and where the mikoshi passed, the residents set off fireworks and firecrackers. After three days of detour, the salt water is full of smoke and sulphur. It is said that the plague has really slowed down. In the future, almost every year in the future, residents will conduct detours and release bees at this time! (Original) 因為鹽水蜂炮而出名的鹽水武廟，其實也是個有歷史的廟宇！ 為什麼武廟會跟蜂炮有關連性？就參考一下下列的傳說吧！ 清末由於瘟疫蔓延的關係，鹽水沒落，當地人是遂祈求關聖帝君出巡遶境。當時決定從關聖帝君飛昇日的正月十三開始到元宵節期間繞境，而神轎經過之處，居民便燃放煙火鞭炮。而鹽水在經過三天的遶境後滿是煙硝硫磺味，據說後來瘟疫疫情果真減緩，日後幾乎每年居民便都在此時舉行遶境與施放蜂！

(Translated by Google) In the salt water martial temple, the main hall is dedicated to Guan Shengdi, and Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, while the Yulian Temple on the first floor of the back hall is dedicated to Guanyin. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the spread of the plague and the decline of salt water, the locals prayed for the emperor Guan Sheng to leave the patrol territory. At that time, it was decided to detour from the thirteenth day of the first lunar month of the ascension day of Guan Shengdi to the Lantern Festival, and the residents set off fireworks and firecrackers wherever the mikoshi passed by. After three days of detouring, the salt water was full of smoke, nitrate and sulfur. It is said that the plague epidemic has really slowed down. In the future, residents will detour and use bee cannons at this time almost every year, becoming the origin of salt water bee cannons. The large statue of Emperor Guan Sheng in the square in front of the temple is magnificent and majestic. Wumiao Road, 3D painting master Zeng Jincheng, Liu Guan, Zhang Taoyuan, 3D double-sided painting, Guan Yu holding Chunqiu on the left, Guan Yu holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife on the right. Guan Gong's intaglio installation art on Beimen Road, the "turning head" Guan Gong, although it is an intaglio sculpture (sculpting inward), but it is refracted by natural light, causing visual confusion, which looks like it protrudes into a three-dimensional effect. As the footsteps slowly move, Guan Gong's head will also follow, super magic!

Yanshui Fengpao Fireworks Festival 2023 = 4 ~ 5 FEB, 2023 Saltwater Bee Cannon (February 4-5, 2023) Saturday, February 4, 2023 Quite the right time, place, people and people (Reason 1) After the epidemic (Covid-19) was lifted, the largest scale (Reason 2) "It just so happens" that most people have to make up a late shift today (Reason 3) The number of tourists visiting Taiwan has not fully recovered yet Reason 1 that I highly recommend The length of the night market is about 1 kilometer (or more). There are almost no repetitions of night market vendors on both sides of the road. You can shop/eat, drink and enjoy the fireworks at the same time. Fireworks every time (a conservative one every 20 minutes, about 5 to 10 minutes each time, I personally think it is much stronger than the 101 New Year's Eve fireworks) If you like excitement, you can walk "about 1 kilometer" to reach the "Artillery Concentration Area" I heard that the next day, Sunday, February 5th, there were 300,000 visitors... Next time I will prepare more sophisticated equipment and bring my children to play with me.

(Translated by Google) The North Sky Lantern and the South Bee Cannon, the Saltwater Beehive is a big event belonging to the whole Yanhui, a real New Year festival for the saltwater people. Whether it is gathering in the Wu Temple and the Saltwater Kingdom, or stopping by the roadside to watch the colorful sky in the distance, listening to the sound of the ancient town, the whole night is a grand celebration. Last year, due to the epidemic, the Saltwater Bee Cannon was suspended. This year, it was re-hosted but the detour was cancelled and changed to a fixed-point release. The excitement and enthusiasm of the people were still undiminished. There were many people wearing complete protective equipment on the road, and everyone seemed to be meeting next door neighbors. Find out and fight.

主祀關聖帝君 為鹽水的重要廟宇之一 是鹽水護庇宮七境四角頭之一的二媽角新街角頭廟 由於該廟舉行的關聖帝君遶境與鹽水蜂炮知名度高 使得其信仰圈不輸給鹽水公廟護庇宮 鹽水武廟相傳建於永曆年間 永曆廿二年[1668年]擴建 另有一說認為是康熙五十四年[1715年]所建 鹽水蜂炮的由來據說與鹽水武廟有密切關係 清末由於瘟疫蔓延的關係 鹽水沒落 當地人是遂祈求關聖帝君出巡遶境 當時決定從關聖帝君飛昇日的正月十三開始到元宵節期間繞境 神轎經過之處 居民便燃放煙火鞭炮 而鹽水在經過三天的遶境後滿是煙硝硫磺味 據說後來瘟疫疫情果真減緩 日後幾乎每年居民便都在此時舉行遶境與施放蜂炮 另正殿旁有鹽水鎮文物陳列館和關聖帝君巨神像 再側邊則有3D彩繪壁畫和凹雕裝置藝術 非常值得1看 2015/06/06 [1ST

元宵節晚上去的，沒有實際到廟內參觀（也擠不進去） 第一次去，主要是體驗蜂炮活動，路線上每個路口都會有炮城依序施放，自備全罩式安全帽或3/4罩自己用電火布黏貼濕毛巾或防火布也可以，身上穿棉質外套+手套+牛仔褲+長襪+運動鞋即可，網路上有建議裝備表，建議可以早點進去找位置停車，太晚交通管制只能停在很遠的外圍走路進去。 蜂炮炸到不會痛，打到安全帽也是被小碎石丟到的感覺，主要是蜂炮會沖到身上停留，要趕快拍掉避免著火。 *要體驗炸蜂炮一定要穿著完善裝備，現場也有販售（炮衣$700起），我看現場一堆裝備不齊甚至帶小小孩（連安全帽都沒有，僅用外套帽子遮蓋）非常危險！還好開炸前小孩不耐久候吵鬧，大人帶小孩離開
