They are the creators and successors of Guyuyan folklore which is  characterized by small length, simple scenario, primitive co<em><\/em>ntent and  deficiency of development and change. Guyuyan folklore prevailing in  Eerjiegou Town near the estuary of Liaohe River mainly includes the  following contents: worship of primogenitors, worship of sea god,  worship of Dragon King, fete and celebration as well as origination and  evolution of fishing gear, etc. Guyuyan folklore is the most typical  form of literature in the place.<\/p>\n<p>Guyuyan folklore narrates and reflects this ancient type of human  civilization in a fairly integral way in the form of oral history. It is  of high historical value due to the primitiveness of the myths and  legends. Legends a<em><\/em>bout experience and techniques of ancient fishing  gear, boatbuilding, navigation and processing in Guyuyan folklore are of  extremely high scientific value. Moreover, the enterprising spirit  embodied in the folklore &#8211; taking adventure to exploit new sea routes  and discover new fishing grounds &#8211; is of unique cultural value and  crucial realistic significance for the enhancement of ocean awareness,  development of ocean economy, and purification of ocean environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3412998001\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small town named Eerjiegou near the estuary of  Liaohe River has served as the foothold and colony of a special fishing  group &#8211; &quot;Guyuyan&quot; &#8211; for all ages.
