温州拦街福的历史、特点与当代复兴

拦街福是具有鲜明温州特色的大型民俗节日。其雏形出现在清初，清中后期盛行，至少已有两百多年历史。初以春祈、禳灾、求吉的民间信仰为主线，继而融入文化娱乐和商贸活动，并且吸收上巳节、花朝节民俗，最后发展成为集信仰、娱乐、商贸为一体的复合性民俗活动。民国时期由于社会动荡，此俗衰微。近年来，温州市政府对此文化遗产进行了抢救，多次成功举办拦街福，现已成为该市每年旅游节的重头戏。

History,Characteristics and Contemporary Renaissance of Lanjiefu in Wenzhou

Lanjiefu is a large-scale folklore festival with distinctive Wenzhounese characteristics. The festival, which has a history of more than 200 years, came into being in the early Qing Dynasty and became popular in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. At the beginning, the folk beliefs such as spring blessing, getting rid of disaster and seeking luck were regarded as the main contents of the festival. Then entertainment and commercial activities were absorbed in. After integrating with folklore of the March 3rd Festival of the Lunar Year and that of the Flowers Goddess＇s Day, Lanjiefu had become a composite folklore activity combining folk belief, entertainment and commercial activities together at last. Lanjiefu encountered the decadence in the period of the Republic of China for the social turbulence. In recent years, Wenzhou municipal government has engaged in the efforts to save this cultural heritage and sponsored Lanjiefu successfully once and again. Now, Lanjiefu is regarded as the focus of annual Wenzhou Tourism Festival.
