Flower Festival is a traditional festival for Han people to commemorate Baihua's birthday, commonly known as Flower God Festival, Baihua's birthday, Flower God's birthday and Picking vegetables Festival. Popular in Northeast China, North China, East China, Central South and other places, it is usually held on the second day of February, February 12 or February 15 of the lunar calendar.

During the festival, people go to the suburbs to enjoy flowers together, which is called "outing". Girls cut five-color paper and stick it on the flower branches, which is called "enjoying the red".

Flower Festival has a long history, which was recorded in Tao Zhugong in the Spring and Autumn Period. Flower Festival is equivalent to Mid-Autumn Festival. According to "Broad-spectrum Pu 'er" quoted "Poetry Talk": "Tokyo (now Kaifeng) celebrated the flower dynasty on February 12, which was a butterfly-catching meeting. ?

[1] "Quote Mohan Ji:" Luoyang custom takes February 2nd as the flower festival. The scholar is playing, and it is also a vegetable picking festival. "

In the Qing Dynasty, February 15th was generally the flower dynasty in the north, and February 12th was the birthday of a hundred flowers in the south. The climate conditions in the north and south of China are different, so it is reasonable that the south will celebrate the festival a few days earlier than the north.
