Xiasha is located in the southwest of Futian District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. There are 559 permanent households with more than 1,500 people, and most of the villagers are surnamed Huang. There are about 3,000 descendants of the Huang family who originally came from Xiasha and now live overseas. The custom of ancestor worship in Xiasha began in the Southern Song Dynasty. At first, they just burned incense and kowtowed in front of the ancestral tablets every morning and evening. In the eighth year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Motang, the founder of Xiasha Village, died and was buried in Lianhua Mountain in the north of the village. His descendants began to go to the cemetery to worship their ancestors every year. During the period of Huang Siming, the ninth ancestor, Xiasha's population grew rapidly, its economic strength increased, and the scale of the village expanded, entering an important stage of development. After Huang Siming's death, his descendants built the "Huang Siming Gong Shici" in the village in the late Ming Dynasty to commemorate him. The sacrificial rituals of tomb worship and ancestral worship also had a complete and strict fixed procedure, which has continued from generation to generation to this day. After the reform and opening up, the descendants of the Huang family in Xiasha who lived overseas also sent representatives back to China every year to participate in ancestor worship. In the autumn of 2004, more than 1,500 people came back to China to worship their ancestors, from 13 countries and regions. Xiasha ancestor worship is not just a simple sacrificial activity, but also a variety of cultural activities: dragon dance, lion dance, Cantonese opera performance, and big pot banquet, which are the unique customs of Xiasha ancestor worship. In 2002, after the sacrificial ceremony, a big pot banquet with 5,319 seats was held, with 60,000 participants, and guests from home and abroad. Many domestic and foreign media reported on it, which had a great impact. Xiasha ancestor worship customs have been passed down for 800 years, the rituals are standardized and well preserved, and they are characterized by patriotism, love for the hometown, respect for the elderly and love for the elderly, and a combination of various ethnic folk cultural activities. Some traditional rituals that are on the verge of being lost have been preserved, which has important historical and academic value; it is also of great value in promoting economic and cultural exchanges at home and abroad, strengthening close ties with overseas Chinese, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, enhancing national cohesion, and promoting the reunification of the motherland.
