Yanshui Beehive Fireworks Festival
▲神轎及蜂炮路線導覽
Yanshui Beehive Fireworks Festival is listed as one of the world’s three major folk festivals, and is also one of the most significant religious activities in Taiwan. Legend has it that the fireworks originated near the end of the 19th century during the Qing Dynasty. Back then there was a plague, and due to the lack of knowledge concerning medicine and treatment, the death toll increased every day. The terrified locals prayed to Guan Yu, or the Holy Ruler Deity Guan, and asked him for help. The deity replied that on the night of Lantern Festival Day, the deity will parade through the streets of Yanshui, and followers must set off firecrackers/fireworks as they trailed behind the deity’s holy sedan chair. The procession lasted until dawn, and the plague was no more. So the later generations carried on this custom and would welcome the Holy Ruler Deity Guan to make his rounds every year on the night of Lantern Festival Day. Every Lantern Festival night, the holy sedan chair slowly parades through the streets of Yanshui, surrounded by followers and visitors. When the sedan chair passes the doorways of stores and residences, racks of fireworks will be lit, sending firecrackers flying everywhere! People believe that after running through the flying fireworks, you can get rid of bad luck and have a prosperous and wonderful new year.

蜂炮起源
The Origin Of Beehive Fireworks
鹽水區清朝時靠近海，多數是以討海為生的漁民，其中有一些移民來自中國福建沿海，蜂炮的活動耆老推測起於清光緒11年（1885年），當時瘟疫流行，居民基於民間習俗，向當地的「關聖帝君」（關公）祈求平安，民眾祈求神蹟降臨，並依請示神民後的指示，在元宵節晚上，請出鹽水鎮上的鎮南宮周倉爺當開路先鋒官，關聖帝君殿後，一路燃放炮竹繞境直至天明。遶境結束後，鹽水疫情就此消退，民眾感念神恩，每年元宵夜沿襲成例，演變為今日赫赫有名之蜂炮盛會。
