A three-day ethnic minority romantic festival (the 20th day of the first lunar month).

Also known as mending the sky festival, Wapo Festival and wearing the sun.

Origin: Because of the natural phenomenon of rain in the solar terms of "rain" and the limitation of understanding, it is linked with the goddess mending the sky, so this day was designated as Tianchuan Festival by the ancients to commemorate Nuwa.

On this day, people do not work. Men don't plow, for fear that hoeing will make the earth leak; Women don't knit clothes, for fear of needles sticking into the sky. All the sacrifices are presided over by housewives, which is the only traditional festival in China folklore that reflects the importance of women in family life.

garlic

Lantern Festival (the 25th day of the first lunar month)

Also known as Tiancang Festival, Tiancang Festival and Laocang Festival.

Origin: According to legend, a long time ago, the northern part of China suffered from drought for years, with thousands of miles of bare land and no crops, but the royal family still collected imperial grain regardless of the life and death of the Lebanese people. A warehouse official surnamed Li was fed up and decided to open a warehouse to help the people. Knowing that doing so would definitely offend the emperor, he ordered people to transport the grain, ordered the imperial warehouse to be burned, and burned it himself. In order to commemorate him, people store and fill the place with fine cooking ash inside and outside the hospital every day to show his memory and look forward to the bumper harvest next year.

Custom:

Steaming "cloth bag": knead the cake powder into lanterns of various shapes, such as ingots, bags, pots, chickens, dogs, etc., fill them with cooking oil, light them in the house at night, and eat fried or fried food the next day. I wish you prosperity and a bumper harvest.

Press the barn: use plant ash to hit the ash cellar in the yard or in the scene. People who pay attention to it will also paint patterns such as rakes, brooms and fans beside the ash cellar, put in autumn grain, cover the grain with bricks and stones, light firecrackers and explode in the circle, indicating that the grain is Man Cang.

Tear up "hanging money"

Light a lamp to worship the gods

Combating hoarding and collecting hoarding

Here I focus on two unpopular festivals (actually because I am sleepy), and other topics can be searched by Baidu, hehehehehehe.

Well, some of the festivals I mentioned above are quite common, such as

On February 2nd, the dragon looked up. Most people know how to shave the dragon head (haircut), but few people know how to put on the dragon lantern, not to do needlework, not to fry corn, not to eat the "doorknob" and not to wear the dragon tail.

The Mid-Autumn Festival "Ghost Opening in July" and "Ghost Festival in China" are actually one of the three festivals, and the other is Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month and Xiayuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month.

We can see that most of the above festivals have never been heard. Why?

I think the popularity of "younger" and "entertaining" festivals like Christmas, Easter and Halloween is caused by the advocacy of businessmen and the propaganda of the media. On the other hand, it is a national legal holiday. In the eyes of most people, the so-called Mid-Autumn Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival and so on are actually used for holidays and rest. So I was impressed by them, and I didn't care about other "unpopular" festivals at all, just thinking about eating and drinking. In fact, these unpopular festivals are difficult to commercialize, the media propaganda is not enough, and the educational institutions do not pay enough attention to this kind of knowledge and do not let young people know it.

Traditional festivals have rich cultural connotations, so we need to carry them forward, pass them on and let our descendants know about our ancestors.
