What festivals are there in March?

The first March 5th is the third of the 24 solar terms in China, "If you don't speak in spring, the insects dare to speak". Spring thunder, everything is su, this is the characteristic of solar terms. After the spring thunder, everything began to recover and farming began to be busy. There are customs such as covering the drum skin, expelling insects, beating villains and eating pears. Second, March 8th International Women's Day is an annual festival to celebrate women's contributions and achievements in economic, political and social fields. This festival is spread from abroad. At present, in China, on this day, most enterprises and institutions will give women half a day off, or give some gifts to women in their units to celebrate. Major e-commerce companies called this day "Goddess Day" and launched a series of preferential discount activities for promotion.

The third is Arbor Day in March 12, which is an international festival. After several discussions in the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), China's Arbor Day is designated as July 12, 2020, and the world is in danger of desertification. It is necessary to plant trees to transform our home. Of course, Arbor Day is scheduled for March 12, but it doesn't mean that this day is the only day for planting trees. Generally, planting week and planting month are set near March 12 to create people's enthusiasm for caring for and building forests and contribute to global environmental protection. The fourth is March 14, February 2 of the lunar calendar, when the dragon looks up, also known as spring ploughing festival and farming festival. On this day, the sun is full of vitality, and the ancients will hold activities such as worshipping dragons for rain and releasing them. Nowadays, society no longer asks for rain, but some places will hold rain-letting activities. In most places, in the first month, there is a custom that you can't get a haircut. As the saying goes, "A haircut in the first month hurts grandpa", so everyone waits until February 2nd to get a haircut, so every year on this day, all barbershops are crowded.
