Hanjiang and Danjiang in Shaanxi Province are well-developed in shipping, and there were many boat gangs in the old times. The gang advocates the loyalty of the river and the lake, and advocates the sharing of happiness and difficulties. There are many taboos in the boat gang. For example, the leader of the boat Gang should not be surnamed Chen because he should not say "sink"; he should not say "turn over", so he should not turn over when eating fish; in order to avoid associating the bottom of the boat with the sky, he should not place bowls and basins upside down; in order not to associate the broken boat, he should not use broken bowls when eating. In the old days, the guild had a guild hall, which was mainly used for meeting or boarding. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Longju Village commercial banks in Danfeng County were divided into salt gang, Henan Gang, Zuodi gang and boat Gang, among which boat gang was the lowest. Every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, other gangs often insult the boat gang. One year, the boat Gang came to the meeting in a hurry before they could wash their feet. Other gangs took the opportunity to create difficulties and falsely called the boat Gang a "scumbag" or "cheap Gang", which aroused the boat Gang's indignation. The boat Gang immediately invited more than 500 shipowners and porters to build their own guild hall. It was stipulated that three copper coins should be drawn from the remuneration of each cargo transported. After years of hard work, the guild hall pinglangguan, commonly known as "flower temple", was finally built in 1891. Huamiao has a large scale and exquisite wood carvings. It is now a key cultural relic protection unit in Shaanxi Province.
