What are the three Halloween festivals in China?
Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as outing festival, outing festival, March festival and ancestor worship festival, is celebrated at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the ancient Spring Festival, which has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only a natural sun festival, but also a traditional festival. 2. Mid-Autumn Festival
Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, the ancestor worship festival in July and a half, is also called Shigu Festival, Ghost Festival, Singles Day and Local Officials' Day. Festival customs mainly include ancestor worship, setting off river lanterns, worshipping the dead and burning paper ingots. Mid-Autumn Festival evolved from the ancient "July and a half", harvesting crops in autumn and offering sacrifices to ancestors.
3. Cold Clothes Festival
The annual Cold Clothes Festival on the first day of October in the lunar calendar is also called "October Dynasty", "Ancestor Festival" and "Ghost Festival". People call it Ghost Festival, which is a traditional festival of sacrifice in China. It is said that it originated in the Zhou Dynasty. Cold clothes festival is very popular in the north, and many northerners will sacrifice their deceased relatives on this day, which is called sending cold clothes.
