What are the three traditional festivals in China?

Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three traditional festivals in China (Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival). Compared with the other two festivals, Mid-Autumn Festival is quieter. This may be related to the ancient legend of the moon god and the peaceful atmosphere of "full moon reunion" Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is a warm, harmonious and poetic festival in the eyes of China people, and there are not many lively activities to celebrate it.

The legendary story of Mid-Autumn Festival.

◆ the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon

The most famous legend of Mid-Autumn Festival is the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were always ten suns in the sky and underground. Because the heat of ten suns is too strong, all kinds of crops are burnt, and many people die of heat because of the high temperature. Those who survived led a very painful life.

At that time, a very famous sharpshooter, Hou Yi, was very angry when he saw this situation. He decided to save everything in the world, so he shot down the sun one by one with a bow and arrow, leaving only one sun to prevent the earth from being "baked" by the high temperature and heat, and the people were reborn. In memory of Hou Yi, people hailed him as the king of a country. But unexpectedly, as soon as Hou Yi became a monarch, he began to be arrogant, and the people fell into another kind of misery.

In order to live forever and be emperor forever, Hou Yi sent someone to Kunlun Mountain to ask the Queen Mother for the elixir of life. When Hou Yi's wife Chang 'e knew about it, she was very sympathetic to the people's situation. She is worried that after taking the elixir of life, Hou Yi will continue to practice tyranny unscrupulously, making the people more miserable. So, she secretly ate all the elixirs by herself. Unexpectedly, her body flew lightly. Hou Yi was very angry when he knew. He watched Chang 'e fly all the way to the sky. He was so angry that he picked up a bow and arrow to shoot down Chang 'e, but it was too late. In this way, Chang 'e flew to the moon and became a fairy in the palace of the moon.

From then on, people began to say that there lived a beautiful girl on the moon. Her name is Chang 'e, which adds many beautiful legends to the distant moon and sky.

◆ Moon Jade Rabbit

In addition, there is a legend about the jade rabbit who accompanied Chang 'e. This lovely rabbit also plays an important role in the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a story in the Western Regions of Datang (written by the famous master Xuanzang): In the forest of ancient India, there lived three good friends, a rabbit, a fox and a monkey. Many people have nothing to eat because of the war. One day, they found an old man faint from hunger at the door. In order to save the old man, they went out separately to find food. However, in the war situation at that time, the chances of finding food were slim. Later, in order to relieve everyone's hunger, rabbits voluntarily sacrificed themselves as food for everyone.

Just as the rabbit jumped into the hot pot, suddenly a pair of warm big hands fished the rabbit out of the hot pot. It turned out that the rabbit's kindness touched the Jade Emperor, so he sent someone to save the rabbit and named him "Jade Rabbit" to accompany the goddess Chang 'e on the moon, so that everyone could always experience the rabbit's compassion.

WU GANG cut laurel trees.

According to legend, WU GANG was a woodcutter who was obsessed with magic, but refused to concentrate on his studies. Because he doesn't work hard at chopping wood every day, he only daydreams. The Jade Emperor was very angry when he learned about it. So he ordered WU GANG to be taken to the Moon Palace, and told him that as long as he cut down the laurel tree, he would get magic. However, no matter how WU GANG cuts it, the osmanthus tree will heal every once in a while. So, WU GANG had to chop again and again, and he couldn't chop down this laurel tree until now. This is the jade emperor's punishment for WU GANG's not doing things down to earth!

What are the four major festivals in China?

Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. The original intention of the two concepts of Spring Festival and New Year comes from agriculture. In ancient times, people called the growth cycle of the valley "year". Hebe: "in the year, the grain is ripe." . During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Xia calendar came into being, with the full and short moon as the month, and a year was divided into twelve months. Every month, the day when the moon can't be seen is the new moon, and the first day of the first month is called the beginning of a year, also known as the year. The title of the year began in the Zhou Dynasty and was officially set in the Western Han Dynasty, which continues to this day. However, in ancient times, the first day of the first month was called "New Year's Day". Until the victory of the Revolution of 1911 in modern China, in order to conform to the farming season and facilitate statistics, Nanjing Temporary * * stipulated that people use the summer calendar, and * * * institutions, factories, mines, schools and organizations implemented the Gregorian calendar, with the Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 day as New Year's Day and the first day of the first lunar month as the Spring Festival. 1949 On September 27th, New China was founded. At the first plenary session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, the international use of the Gregorian calendar era was adopted, and the Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 day was designated as New Year's Day, commonly known as the Gregorian calendar year. The first day of the first lunar month is usually around beginning of spring, so the first day of the first lunar month is designated as the Spring Festival, commonly known as the Lunar New Year. In the traditional sense, the Spring Festival refers to the sacrificial ceremony from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month as * * *, starting from La Worship. During the Spring Festival, a traditional festival, the Han nationality and most ethnic minorities in China will hold various celebrations. Most of these activities are mainly about offering sacrifices to gods and buddhas, paying homage to ancestors, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and praying for the new. The forms of activities are rich and colorful, with strong national characteristics. One of the legends of the Spring Festival: Keeping New Year's Eve, that is, not sleeping on the last night of the old year and staying up late to welcome the arrival of the new year, is also called keeping New Year's Eve, and its common name is "keeping the year". Exploring the origin of this custom, there is an interesting story among the people: in Archean, there was a fierce monster scattered in the mountains, which people called "Nian". Its appearance is ferocious, its nature is ferocious, and it specializes in eating birds, animals and insects. It changes its taste every day, from kowtowing insects to living people, which makes people talk about "Nian". Later, people gradually mastered the activity law of "Nian", that is, every 365 days, people go to places where people live in concentrated communities to taste fresh food. The haunting time is after dark, and when the rooster crows at dawn, they return to the mountains. After determining the date of the ravages of 2008, people regarded this terrible night as a gateway, and came up with a set of methods to close the New Year's Day: every family prepared dinner in advance, turned off the fire, cleaned the stove, then tied all the cowpeas, sealed the front and back doors of the house, and hid in the house to eat the "New Year's Eve" because this dinner was uncertain. In addition to inviting the whole family to have dinner together to show harmonious reunion, we should also worship our ancestors before eating and pray for their blessing to spend the night safely. After dinner, no one dared to sleep, so they sat together and chatted with courage. Gradually formed the habit of not sleeping on New Year's Eve. The trend of observing the age rose in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and many scholars in the Liang Dynasty had poems about observing the age. "One night for two years, five hours for two years." People light candles or oil lamps and keep vigil all night, which symbolizes driving away all evil diseases and looking forward to good luck in the new year. This custom has been handed down from generation to generation. Legend 2 of the Spring Festival: According to legend, there was a young man named Wannian in ancient times. When he saw that the festival was chaotic, he had a plan to make it accurate. But he couldn't find a way to calculate the time. One day, he was tired of chopping wood on the mountain and sat in the shade. The movement of the shadow inspired him. He designed a sundial to measure the time of the day. Later, inspired by the dripping spring water on the cliff, he began to make a five-layer clepsydra to calculate the time. Over time, he found that every 360 days, the four seasons would cycle once, and the length of the weather would be repeated. At that time, the monarch was called Zu Ti, who was often troubled by the unpredictable weather. Ten thousand years later, he took the sundial and the clepsydra to see the emperor and explained to Zu Ti the truth about the movement of the sun and the moon. Zu Ti was very happy after hearing this and felt reasonable. So I left for ten thousand years and built the Sun and Moon Pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven, as well as the sundial platform and the Leaky Pot Pavilion. I hope I can accurately measure the laws of the sun and the moon, calculate the exact time in the morning and evening, and create a calendar to benefit people all over the world. On one occasion, Zu Ti went to learn about the progress of the perpetual calendar. When he boarded the altar of the sun and the moon, he saw a poem engraved on the stone wall next to the Temple of Heaven: sunrise 360, sunset 360, start all over again. Vegetation withers and flourishes in four seasons. ......

Do you know the traditional festivals in which countries? Write 3-5 articles.

Too many. Let's move a few here first, hoping to adopt them. If you are interested, I can also tell you more interesting festivals in other countries.

Myanmar-splashing water and playing

Myanmar New Year falls on the last day of the Songkran Festival in mid-April every year. Therefore, the Songkran Festival and the New Year have been combined. The Songkran Festival usually lasts three or four days. On the second day of the festival, men, women and children have the habit of washing their hair. Unless it coincides with their birthdays, they will change to the third day. During the festival, no matter in the city or in the countryside, everyone is dressed in costumes and splashing water on each other to show the intention of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Some people use cherry blossom branches, dip silver bowls in water soaked in rose petals and gently shake them on others. More people like to splash the whole bucket and basin, or even spray it with a hose. Children who attack adults with water guns will not be scolded. The more people are splashed, the happier they are. On the contrary, if people don't splash water during the Songkran Festival, the New Year will be unlucky. The annual Songkran Festival is also a good opportunity for young people to socialize in the beautiful scenery, and many young people take this opportunity to form a good marriage.

There are different legends about the origin of the Songkran Festival in Myanmar. There is a saying: One year, the king of Myanmar met a fairy in his palace. He was so happy that he ordered people to mix spices and clear water and sprinkle them on the officials of civil and military affairs to show that they would bid farewell to the old and welcome the new and accept good luck.

Cambodia-piling up sand dunes for a bumper harvest

Cambodia takes Sakyamuni's birth date as the epoch, and the annual New Year falls in May of the Buddhist calendar and from April 14 to 16 of the Gregorian calendar. During the New Year, Buddhist five-color flags and white crocodile-shaped flags are hung in the temple. People dressed in festive costumes worship in groups in the temple, and five or seven sand dunes surround the temple under the guidance of elders, wishing Man Cang a good harvest.

Nepal-idolatry

The New Year in Nepal is also in April of the solar calendar, also known as Hanukkah. On New Year's Day, people first bathe and put on festive costumes, then put the king's sword at the foot of the idol, and then put the idol on a beautifully decorated float and took to the streets to be worshipped by people.

Philippines-Commemorating National Heroes

The day when the national hero Jose Rizal died in the Philippines-65438+February 30th in Gregorian calendar is regarded as "New Year's Day". On New Year's Day, people set up colorful arches with evergreen trees everywhere in the market and formed bands along the street. Dressed-up yangko teams danced in the sound of gongs and drums, and firecrackers were heard endlessly, showing a lively and festive atmosphere. Every family provides refreshments, fruits and melon seeds for their guests. Various festivals will last for a week.

Japan-Ring the bell 108 times

The Japanese used to spend two New Years, that is, New Year's Day and Spring Festival, which is similar to the situation in our country now. Only in modern times did it change to a new calendar year. On New Year's Eve, the Japanese call it "New Year's Eve". On New Year's Eve, the Japanese also have the custom of celebrating the New Year. People eat buckwheat noodles and watch TV programs arranged for the New Year. The solo competition between male and female singers is the most popular. At midnight, the incense fills the air in the temple, and the bells are ringing, which is often 108. It is said that this is because there is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that "hearing the bell is troublesome." The Japanese believe that every time you knock on the door, you will get rid of one kind of trouble, and knocking 108 times means clearing all troubles. After the bell rings, people flock to shrines and temples, burn incense and worship Buddha, and sign fortune-telling, which is called "the first visit". It is estimated that about 80 million people visit the shrine from midnight to New Year's Day every year. On the morning of New Year's Day, the whole family arranged to drink Tu Su wine in turn from young to old, and taste herring roe, black beans and dried fish cooked with slightly sweet soy sauce. It is said that these auspicious foods will bring prosperity and health to future generations.

The Japanese call the first day of New Year's Day "Zhengri", and the day 1 month 1 to 3 is called "Sanhe Day". On Sunday, the younger generation will go to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, and then go to relatives and friends' home to pay New Year's greetings. I am used to eating rice cake soup, which the Japanese call "miscellaneous cooking". During the Spring Festival, a straw rope or a circle made of straw rope is often pulled up above the door of every household, which is called "banknote-linked rope" or "banknote-linked decoration". Some also put some pine and bamboo, which is called "door pine". Many companies set up memorial archways with pine, bamboo and plums, which are novel in design and unique in style to celebrate. People also put paper-cuts of animals symbolizing longevity inside and outside the house, such as cranes and turtles, to pray for peace. At the same time, according to the zodiac, carve a new year and give gifts to each other. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications also issued a large number of "New Year stamps" with pictures of the New Year. Whether individuals or groups, exchanging New Year cards has become the most popular way to congratulate each other. The Japanese call it a "flying kite", which means deep affection in the distance. Whoever receives more new year cards in the new year will feel that the new year has a bright future, prosperous wealth and special joy. In the new year, neighbors, relatives, friends and children ......
