Flower Festival is to commemorate the birthday of Baihua, which is called Flower Festival for short, commonly known as Flower God Festival, Baihua Birthday, Flower God Birthday and Picking Vegetables Festival. It is a traditional festival of the Han nationality and is popular in Northeast China, North China, East China, Central South and other places. It is generally held on the second day of February, February 12 or February 15 and February 25 of the lunar calendar. In festivals, people go to the suburbs to enjoy flowers together, which is called an outing, and girls cut five-color paper and stick it on branches, which is called enjoying the red. There are also customs such as lion lanterns. In the old society, February 12 of the lunar calendar was the birthday of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River.

Happy birthday to the temple.

Legend has it that the flower god is in charge of the growth of plants in spring and summer, so her worship is not limited to flower farmers, but also includes farmers who grow crops, fruits and vegetables. There are many flower beds in the Yangtze River Delta. In the past, flower farmers in wuyue often offered statues of flower gods. On the second day of February, when the flower god was born, in many places, many farmers gathered in the flower temple to offer sacrifices to wish the flower god a happy birthday, and the northeast region also paid attention to offering sacrifices with vegetarian dishes. In some places, there will be performances to entertain the gods. There are usually twelve actresses who play the story of the flower god every December. From Zhu's poems, we can also see people's feelings for the flower god. People go to the temple fair in droves.

Drying in the sun is a good sign that everything is rich and mature.

This is an auspicious day for flowers. When the wheat straw is brewing, every household sows all kinds of seeds. It is said that it is necessary to gather hundreds of seeds and pray for a bumper harvest. The festival culture and food culture in the Tang Dynasty were very developed. It is said that Wu Zetian likes flowers. Every year on February 15th in the summer calendar, on the Flower Festival, she always asks the ladies-in-waiting to pick flowers, mash them with rice, steam them into cakes and give them to ministers. The method of prediction is simple: shelter from the rain under the sun, and sunny days bring good omen for everything to be rich and mature.
