Polo's birthday, the birthday of Nanhai God, has a history of more than 1000 years. It is a folk temple fair to commemorate the birthday of Zhu Rong, the God of the South China Sea. It shows the unique Lingnan folk belief culture and the strong marine culture color under the background of the Maritime Silk Road. It is a list of national intangible cultural heritage expansion projects.
There are many folk gatherings, such as lion dance, ancient worship to the sea, Zhangqiu poetry meeting, and Wuzi welcoming the king. Wonderful, polo zongzi, polo chicken, dragon boat dragon head production, Guangzhou embroidery, Guangzhou blue carving, Cao Tong painting and other non-legacy parties are dazzling, and the activities are brilliant.
However, the inheritors of these intangible cultural heritages are mostly elderly people, and most of them are single-person, self-employed or small studio business models. Income is often closely related to festivals and fluctuates greatly. It is inseparable from the strong support of the government to keep folk customs alive forever. Huangpu District (Guangzhou Development Zone) Taxation Bureau actively practices "one line, one policy", publicizes and implements relevant preferential tax and fee policies, provides refined services, strengthens pre-holiday on-site inquiries, answers questions for taxpayers related to non-legacy folk customs, and helps non-legacy folk customs stand out and develop in depth.
"There is no pineapple in Boluo Zongzi. Unlike other zongzi, it is wrapped in banana leaves and is very skillful in cooking. " The resident of Suidong Street in Huangpu District and the inheritor of Guangzhou intangible cultural heritage polo dumplings making skills said that she got married in Huangpu and learned this skill from her mother-in-law. Now she has developed some new tastes that everyone likes on the basis of traditional tastes. "Polo dumplings will sell well on polo birthdays, Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals, so our invoice demand will increase significantly than usual, especially polo birthdays. I expect to make more than 40,000 zongzi. " She said. To this end, Huangpu tax cadres came to understand the situation, seriously answered her questions about invoices, and ensured that the invoice amount met the demand. "I used to apply to the tax bureau and handle it face to face. Now, under the guidance of tax officials, I can do it with two simple operations with my mobile phone, which is much more convenient! " Looking at the Polo Zongzi in the basin, which looks like a pagoda and piles into hills, she said happily that she hopes to pass on this craft. She also welcomes everyone to visit: "Visit Polo's birthday, eat Polo Zongzi, and live better in the future!"
In Xiasha Village, Huangpu District, the legal representative of Guangzhou Chaohui Sports Culture Investment Co., Ltd. is also busy painting the dragon boat faucet with the final color and preparing for the polo birthday exhibition. It takes a lot of effort to design and shape a faucet. As a non-genetic inheritor of dragon boat faucet and dragon tail production technology, he resigned as a teacher in his early years and devoted himself to making dragon boat faucet and dragon tail for more than ten years. His carved dragon head works also appeared at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
"Although dragon boat activities have decreased in the past two years, I began to expand the business of visiting teaching and peripheral products. The state issued the preferential policy of exempting small-scale taxpayers from value-added tax in time, and I have enjoyed the preferential policy for more than a year. Less economic pressure can make me more focused on developing and spreading this craft. " He said that more and more children are now learning to carve and make faucets. "The return of polo's birthday this year will attract many people to participate. I hope more young people will pay attention to and like our traditional skills."
