What day does Tiancang refer to?

Tiancang refers to the 25th day of the first lunar month.

Every year on the 25th day of the first lunar month, Han folklore is the birthday of Cang Shen, which is called Cang Cang Festival. The Bunker Filling Festival, also known as Tiancang Festival or Tiancang Festival, is a traditional folk festival of Han nationality in China, which was recorded in the Song Dynasty. The 20th day of the first month is called small irrigation, and the 25th day of the first month is called big irrigation. Strictly speaking, the whole Spring Festival is completely over after the completion of the festival.

The origin of Tianzang Festival:

Originated in the Yellow River valley, the earliest record comes from the Wang family tree in Shandong. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Wang was forced to change his surname. Later, people were mostly distributed in Shandong, Jilin and Henan.

Customs before and after Tianzang Festival:

Among the Han people in our country, some people cook crucian carp soup on the day of filling the warehouse. Eating fish means being rich for many years. Others scatter all the chickens in the yard when eating, so that they can have a full meal and hoard delicious food. In some places, such as Tianjin, on this day, we should eat jiaozi or zygote, eat jiaozi to fill the warehouse, and eat zygote to cover the warehouse, so as to hope for a good harvest and a bumper harvest in the coming year. Others wrap noodles, mice and hedgehogs stuffed with bean paste on this day.
