Boluo Birthday, the birthday of Nanhai God, has a history of more than a thousand years. It is a folk temple fair formed by the people to commemorate the birthday of Zhu Rong, the god of Nanhai. It shows the unique Lingnan folk belief culture and shows the strong marine culture color under the background of the Maritime Silk Road. It is a list of national intangible cultural heritage expansion projects.
Many folk gatherings such as lion awakening, antique sacrifice to the sea, Zhangqiu poetry meeting, five sons facing the king, etc. are splendid, and all kinds of non-legacy gatherings such as Polo Zongzi, Polo Chicken, Dragon Boat Dragon Head Making, Guangzhou Embroidery, Guangzhou Blue Carving, and Tongcao Painting are dazzling, and the event is full of excitement.
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. The revenue situation is often closely linked to festivals and fluctuates greatly. It is inseparable from the strong support of the government to keep the folk customs alive forever. The Taxation Bureau of Huangpu District (Guangzhou Development Zone) actively practices "one line, one policy" in view of these characteristics of non-legacy folk customs-related industries in the region, publicizes and implements relevant preferential tax and fee policies, provides fine services, strengthens on-site inquiries before festivals, answers questions for non-legacy folk customs-related taxpayers, and helps the non-legacy folk customs to emerge and develop in depth.
"There is no pineapple in Boluo Zongzi. Unlike other Zongzi, it is wrapped in banana leaves, and cooking is also very skillful." The resident of Suidong Street in Huangpu District and the inheritor of the production skill of Polo Dumpling, an intangible cultural heritage in Guangzhou, said that she married in Huangpu and learned this skill from her mother-in-law, and now she has developed some new tastes that everyone likes on the basis of traditional tastes. "Polo Zongzi will sell well in festivals such as Polo Birthday and Dragon Boat Festival, so our invoice demand will increase significantly compared with usual, especially for Polo Birthday. I expect to make more than 40,000 Zongzi." She said. For this reason, Huangpu tax cadres came to know the situation and answered her questions about invoices carefully to ensure that the invoice amount met the demand. "I used to go to the tax bureau to apply and handle face to face. Now, under the guidance of tax officials, I can do it with my mobile phone with two simple operations, which is much more convenient!" Looking at the Polo Zongzi, which looks like a pagoda and piles into hills in the basin, she said happily that she hopes to pass on this craft. She also welcomes everyone to visit: "Visit Polo Birthday, eat Polo Zongzi, and live a better life in the future!"
In Xiasha Village, Huangpu District, the legal representative of Guangzhou Chaohui Sports Culture Investment Co., Ltd. is also busy putting the final color on the dragon boat faucet to prepare for the exhibition of Polo Birthday. It takes a lot of effort to design and sculpt a faucet. As a non-genetic inheritor of dragon boat dragon head and dragon tail production technology, he resigned as a teacher in his early years and devoted himself to making dragon boat head and dragon tail for more than ten years. His carved dragon head works also appeared in the opening ceremony of Beijing Winter Olympics.
"In the past two years, although the dragon boat activities have decreased, I began to expand my business of visiting teaching and peripheral products. The state introduced the preferential policy of exempting small-scale taxpayers from VAT in time, and I have enjoyed the preferential policy for more than a year. Less financial pressure can make me more focused on developing and spreading this craft. " He said that more and more children are now learning how to carve and make faucets. "The return of Polo's birthday this year will attract many people to participate, and I hope more young people will pay attention to and like our traditional skills."
