How about Tomb-Sweeping Day's birthday?
Birthday refers to the day when a person is born. Generally in China, we pay more attention to the birthdays of the elderly. Every birthday is a family gathering, so in China, birthdays can be regarded as a family holiday.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is a tradition of China, which began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. In ancient times, it was not as important as the Cold Food Festival the day before, because the dates of Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Cold Food Festival were close, and the people gradually merged their customs. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties (58 1 to 907), Tomb-Sweeping Day and Cold Food Festival gradually merged into the same festival, which became the day to visit graves and worship ancestors, that is, today's Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Tomb-Sweeping Day's customs are rich and interesting. In addition to paying attention to the prohibition of fire to sweep graves, there are a series of customs and sports activities such as jogging, swinging, cuju, playing polo and inserting willows. According to legend, this is because Tomb-Sweeping Day wants to ban cold food and fire. In order to prevent the harm of cold food and cold meal to people, we all take part in some sports activities to exercise. Therefore, this festival has both sad tears to sweep the new grave and laughter for an outing. It is a distinctive festival, and it is also a very neutral festival. There is nothing unlucky.
