日照太陽文化節(jié)約定俗成，源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)，經(jīng)過多年發(fā)展，已逐步成為獨(dú)具特色的民俗文化旅游活動(dòng)。今年的太陽文化節(jié)在天臺(tái)山旅游區(qū)、劉家灣趕海園同時(shí)進(jìn)行，山海聯(lián)動(dòng)，游客和市民共同感受來自太陽文化的魅力。

天臺(tái)山東南兩面向海，西北兩面環(huán)山，古有“登上天臺(tái)山，凡人也成仙”的說法。天臺(tái)山中有湯谷，是東夷人祖先羲和祭祀太陽神的圣地，也是東方太陽崇拜和太陽文化的發(fā)源地。山上遺跡眾多，歷來有東海日出、太陽神石、羲和部落、獨(dú)占鰲頭、神秘天書、量天尺的“天臺(tái)六景”之說。近年來，天臺(tái)山旅游區(qū)整合現(xiàn)有文化、生態(tài)、旅游等資源，進(jìn)一步豐富太陽文化內(nèi)涵，重點(diǎn)打造了觀日臺(tái)、天臺(tái)書院、扶木宮三處文化核心。

若有興致，游客還可體驗(yàn)手做香囊，通過選香、制香感受一場(chǎng)尋香之旅；身著漢服，在古香古色的街市射箭、投壺；餓了、累了，就近在天臺(tái)食府、太陽餐廳歇歇腳，嘗嘗海沙子面、京東菜、海蜇腦子湯等當(dāng)?shù)靥厣朗常肺蛾柟馀c大自然的饋贈(zèng)。

Rizhao,located on the shore of the Yellow Sea,is named for being “the first ray of light at sunrise”,and reputed as the “Oriental Sun City”.The Rizhao Sun Culture Festival is conventionalized and long-standing.After years of development,it has gradually become a folk cultural tourism activity with distinctive characteristics.

In recent years,the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area has further enriched the connotation of the sun culture by integrating existing culture,ecology,tourism and other resources,and mainly built three cultural cores,i.e.the Guanri (Sun Viewing) Terrace,the Tiantai Academy,and the Fumu Palace.

The large live-action dance performanceheld at the Guanri Terrace was grand and magnificent,which vividly reproduced the ancients’ worship and longing for the sun before the audience,and reflected the significance of the ancient and modern integration and the long-standing sun culture.

The Tiantai Academy,located on the mountainside of Tiantai,is Rizhao’s first characteristic academy with ancient book charm themed on the sun culture.You may find a quiet corner in the academy,choose a couple of books and order a cup of mellow and delicious coffee to enjoy a quiet and pleasant moment.

Taking the hibiscus (Fusang)tree as the cultural core,with a focus on the hibiscus tree,the Fumu Palace narrates the stories of the sun culture concerning “Sunrise from the Hibiscus Tree”,“Xihe Bathing with the Sun”,and “Dayi Shooting the Sun” in various art forms,including murals and sculptures.

In the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area,you can not only feel the charm of the long-standing sun culture,but also enjoy your time on the Sun Street.On the street,there are distinctive stores,which sell intangible cultural heritage handicrafts,local delicacies,as well as sun culture commodities (from five sun-worshiping nations).
