People who belive in buddhism go on pilgrimage in groups. If the number surpass a hundred, the activity is called “Baizi meetng”, if surpass two hundred, it is called “double Baizi”, if less than one hundred, it is called “a small Baizi meeting”. The pilgrims all wear gray coats, green trouses and yellow aprons with characters pilgrimage on. They climb the mountain on foot led by their head. On the way they beat gongs and sing songs of praise to it, and they kowtow at every temple. The activity is at its peak on the birthday of God of Earth. It is very honorable for one to stay all night along at the Corporeal Body Hall that night. There are some other pilgrims who go to pay homage to their dead parents. They wear the clothes of the dead ones, bearing the hope of getting the stamp of the God, legend in buddhism has that one who has the stamp will have the privilage of going wherever he wishes in heaven.

When there are huge ceremonies in Mountain Jiuhua or nearby, there are dragon lantern dancing and lion lantern dancing. Dragon lantern is made of curved slices of bamboo and board, every board is about 1.5 meters in length, with lighted candles inside, the number of the board is from 9 to dozens(all is odd number). Every board is carried by a person who is dancing to the beating of gong and drum. Dragon lantern is a huge collective ceremony, wherever it goes, crowds of people will follow, it is very jollification.

To promise a wish is to make a wish to Buddha, when the wish is fulfilled, one should return someing to Buddha as promised. Wishes vary from getting a son, an ideal marriage, a longer life and fame. Once a wish is realized, there should be a great ceremony.

“the 8th, December” is considered as a festival in buddhism. On that day monks and nuns will cook “Babao Porridge” with glutinous rice, sesame, nut, longan, red jujube, mushroom and lotus seeds, eight kinds of food. They invite the inhabitants there to have holy dinner and give them some to take back to feed the old and the young out of respect for buddha. It gradually developped into the custom for folks to cook the porridge themselves.

On New Year's Eve, the inhabitants there either stay up late watching TV, or entertain themselves after the reunion dinner till midnight. When it struck zero o'clock, the whole family or the representative rinse the mouth, clean the face, then light the firecrackers and go out to the Corporeal Body Hall(or to the temples which is nearest), taking the incense sticks and fireworks prepared beforehand. In the pilgrimage-making process, they don't talk even to friends untill they are back at home. They pray for a safe and smooth new year to come. It is most auspicious to burn the first joss stick. Now making pilgrimages on New Year's Eve has become the custom there.
