What are the traditional festivals from January to December? What are their origins and customs?
Spring Festival is an ancient festival in China, and it is also the most important festival in a year. In the historical development, it has integrated a variety of folk customs and formed some relatively fixed customs and habits, many of which are still handed down today.
2. The dragon raised its head
In the Yuan Dynasty, "the second day of February" was called the day when the dragon looked up. February of the lunar calendar has entered the mid-spring season, and "February 2" is between the "rain", "shock" and "vernal equinox" of the 24 solar terms. Since ancient times, people have celebrated dragons on the day of "Dragon's Head Raised" in mid-spring, in order to pray for dragons to eliminate disasters and bless them, with good weather and abundant crops.
3. Dragon Boat Festival
In ancient times, the ancestors of Baiyue created festivals to worship their ancestors. According to legend, Qu Yuan, a Chu poet in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th. Later, people also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.
4. Chinese Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day in China is not only a festival to worship Seven Sisters, but also a festival of love. It is a comprehensive festival with the folk custom of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" as the carrier, with the theme of blessing, begging and courtship, and women as the main body.
5. Double Ninth Festival
It refers to the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is a traditional folk festival in China. In the Book of Changes, "nine" is defined as yang number, and "nine-nine" is called "Chongyang" because of its heavy yang number. It is also called "Double Ninth Festival", because both the date and the month conform to nine.
