What festivals are there in Manchu? Manchu's unique festival customs

First, Tim Cang Festival

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, a pot of sticky sorghum rice was cooked, tied with a horse or a plow and put into the granary. Later, it was simplified to "plow" tied with sorghum stalks and directly inserted into the granary to pray for a bumper harvest.

Second, the sun day (Manchu people call the sun "the sun")

The first day of February in the lunar calendar. Manchu people think this day is "the birthday of the sun". Make a cake with flour and put colorful chicken with rice flour on it. It is a metaphor for the golden rooster to announce the dawn and welcome the sunrise.

Third, the dragon looks up.

The second day of the second lunar month. On this day, it is necessary to "draw a dragon home", that is, to scatter plant ash from a water tank into a well or river. The gray road bends like a dragon, indicating that the dragon is invited to go home and pray for the dragon king to bless the good weather and good harvests. Today is the day for boys to have their hair cut, and it is also the day for dragons to look up. I hope the boy will become smart and make progress in his studies. On this day, I will also take my married "aunt" back to my mother's house to eat and drink. On this day, eating a cake (jiaozi) is called eating Longlin, eating pancakes is called eating dragon skin, eating Yuanxiao is called eating longan, eating rice is called eating dragon dung, and eating fried dumpling is called eating dragon claws.

Fourth, the date of the attachment.

On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, we should "get married". With a dish of cooked salted beans, respect each other and eat two "attached beans", which means "a good marriage makes the world a family". Affinity means respecting the elders first, and then the elders take two from their own dishes for the younger generation to eat, indicating unity and friendship regardless of age.

The sixth day of the sixth lunar month. In the past, on this day, a person from every household went to the Insect King Temple to kill pigs and prayed for the Insect King to control pests.

In rural areas, it was changed to "clothes drying festival" and in cities, it was changed to "book explosion festival" to cool clothes and books and prevent insect bites.

Seven, Ma Wang Festival

June 23rd of the lunar calendar. Most of Manchu ancestors hunted and fought by riding horses and archery. Even if you go out for a long trip, you ride more horses, so you respect the horse king more.

Eight, the Golden Festival

October 13th of the lunar calendar. 1635 Lunar New Year 10/3, the Qing Emperor Taizong issued a decree in Shenyang to change the name of Shen Zhu (Nuzhen) to that of Manchuria. Therefore, people regard this day as the birth date of Manchu surnames. The word "giving money" is transliterated in Manchu, meaning birth and childbirth. Manchu people are willing to accept it because these two Chinese characters have auspicious and noble meanings. Therefore, Manchu compatriots everywhere used to call this grand festival "Golden Festival".

Introduction to Manchu Traditional Festivals Manchu is one of the oldest ethnic groups in China, and the only ethnic group that established the Central Plains Dynasty twice in the history of China. Manchu has a long history and its origin can be traced back to about 6000-7000 years ago. In the 22nd century BC, the center of Su Shen civilization was Xi Du (now Changchun City, Jilin Province), where the second generation royal family of the early Su Shen Kingdom began to build adobe walls and palaces, with a population of about 1000. Chinese archaeologists believe that the primitive social site of Ying Ge Ridge at the southern end of Jingbo Lake in Ning 'an City, Heilongjiang Province is about 3,000 years ago, which is equivalent to the Western Zhou Dynasty and should be regarded as a cultural relic of Su Shen. Many stone tools and pottery were unearthed, including pottery pigs, dogs and bears. Pig breeding shows that ancient ethnic tribes have lived a relatively stable primitive life based on primitive agriculture and fishing and hunting. Pottery pig, dog and bear were buried in the tomb as funerary objects, which is a powerful proof of the soul worship of the deceased. "
