What is the last solar term in spring? Ant Manor: Flower Festival.

Yang Wanli's Poem of Chengzhai in the Southern Song Dynasty said that "February 12th in Tokyo is the Flower Dynasty". To commemorate Baihua's birthday. There were many poems about flowers in ancient times, and poets praised the prosperous times at that time by praising flowers.

It gradually declined from the late Qing Dynasty, partly because the date was not fixed. It can be said that the date is the least fixed in national festivals, and the fixed date is hard to remember. One more thing, in ancient times, it was to pray for a bumper harvest, but now there is no such demand. It is the essence of flower culture, but it also declines with the improvement of people's knowledge and culture and the development of science and technology in modern society.

In ancient times, flowers represented the birth and reincarnation of life, and people deified flowers into flower gods. According to legend, the flower god is in charge of crop harvest and people's birth and death, and the flower festival comes from this. From "Chengzhai Poetry": "On February 12, Tokyo called the Flower Festival, which was a butterfly catching party." And "Mohan Ji": "Luoyang custom takes February as the flower festival." It can be seen that the flower festival has different dates in different places.

Beijing, Jiangsu and other regions celebrate the Flower Festival on February 12, while Zhejiang and Northeast China celebrate it on February 15. Flower Festival includes eating flower cakes and offering sacrifices to flower gods. During the festival, people go to the suburbs to enjoy flowers together, and there are ribbon-cutting papers on the branches, so it is an important holiday activity to enjoy flowers. Due to different climates and different flowering times, the dates of flower festivals vary from place to place.
