When do Hakkas get dressed?

Hakka Festival is the 20th day of the first lunar month.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Hakka people call it "crossing the sky", which is a traditional folk festival in Meizhou, Guangdong. There is a saying among Hakkas that the New Year is not over until it is "worn by the sky". There are some main customs of Hakka people who celebrate "daily wear", such as "mending daily wear" of pancakes, shooting arrows and stabbing sweet needles in the daytime to commemorate this long-standing Lunar New Year holiday.

According to legend, "the sun shines in the sky" is the day when the ancient goddess mended the sky. According to legend, Nuwa made people and married people, so she became the earliest virgin of mankind. "The sky wears the sun" because the water god and the fire god had not yet fought. After the defeat, the water god became angry from embarrassment and crashed into the mountain, but he didn't know that it was the jade pillar that supported heaven and earth. Suddenly, the sky collapsed and the earth became Wang Yang. So, later there was the saying that The goddess patching the sky saved the world. In order to thank the goddess for mending the sky and celebrate the rebirth of mankind, the ancient "sky wears the sun" came from this.
