the manchu traditional festival

The traditional festivals of Manchu include: Jinbang Festival, Walking All Diseases Festival, Filling Warehouse Festival, Insect King Festival and Mountain Opening Festival.

1, Golden Festival

This is the Manchu National Day. 1635 On the third day of the sixth lunar month, 10, Huang Taiji issued a decree to officially change the name of "Nuzhen" to "Manchuria", marking the formation of a new national isomorphism. Manchu compatriots all over the country spontaneously held commemorative activities on the Manchu naming day on June 10 of the lunar calendar to commemorate the birth of Manchu.

2. Stay away from all diseases

The festival of Manchu women is usually on the 20th day of the first month. At night, women leave the mainland in droves, or stroll on the beach, or play on the rolling ice, which is called "walking in all diseases".

3. Filling section

Every year on the 25th day of the first month, every Manchu family in rural areas should pay attention to making glutinous rice sorghum, put it in the warehouse, weave a pony with straw sticks and put it on the rice bowl, which means that the horse will take food home and have no worries about food and clothing. On the first day, add new rice three times in a row. Some people also use sorghum stalks as two hoes to grow rice. This festival is still in the northeast countryside.

4. Insect King Festival

June 6 is prone to insect disasters. Manchu people living in Xiuyan and Fengcheng in Liaoning used to go to the Insect King Temple one after another on June 6 to kill pigs and make sacrifices to pray for the Insect King in order to avoid disasters and ensure a bumper harvest in the fields.

5. Mountain Opening Festival

Manchu people collect herbs and pray after the Mid-Autumn Festival or the mid-September of the lunar calendar. In the past, Manchu villages in Northeast China had to face Changbai Mountain every year to pray for blessing and thank the mountain gods for giving herbalists rich gifts. Ginseng collected during this period was enshrined in their shrines.
