[Edit this paragraph] Folklore According to the introduction of the elderly villagers in Gurao Town, the "2008 Folk Culture Festival" in Gurao Town evolved from the development of Gu Rao's sacrificial society. Sacrificial society has a history of more than 600 years since the Ming Dynasty. It was originally to commemorate Wen Tianxiang and the soldiers who died in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are many legends about Wen Tianxiang circulating around Gurao Town, Chaoyang District.Legend has it that at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan soldiers invaded. Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister, attempted to restore the country in Chaoyang, and was captured in Haifeng County during the campaign. Commander-in-Chief Chen Yi colluded with rebel Zhang Hongfan and fought bloody battles with Song Jun at the foot of Xiaobei Mountain. Because of the disparity in strength between the two sides, most people in Song Jun died here. Ming Taizu named the soldiers who died in the Anti-Yuan War at the end of the Song Dynasty as "marshals", and appointed villages adjacent to the Anti-Yuan War, such as Kameyama Chiliao (formerly known as Gu Rao), to regularly offer sacrifices to the soldiers who died that year. Gu Rao and other places began to sacrifice to the society. Folk repair of the solitary burial of soldiers killed in the late Song Dynasty is called "Marshal Song's Tomb", and all ethnic groups in each township pay homage in time by stages. According to the investigation, there are 9 tombs of Song Dynasty in Gurao and surrounding villages.
