Does anyone know what festival the sixteenth day of the first month is and what customs it has?

This is not a traditional festival, but it is a day for adults and children to relax and play. There are many traditional customs.

The nursery rhymes related to the 16th day of the first month are: "Izayoi, twist, carrying baskets, dancing torches, provoking people to scold, sending cows to send piles, making the young and old happy haha", which shows many customs of the 16th day of the first month.

The so-called "basket bucket" is to put some quicklime in a gauze bag and tie it to one end of the scale. The man took the other end of the scale and threw the gauze bag on the ground, leaving white spots on the ground. Of course, "carrying baskets and buckets" also has certain rules. Always "carry" from the riverside pier first, and then "carry" from the front patio and the house. When the "basket bucket" is over, there are many white spots everywhere in front of and behind the house. Because the more white spots, the better the grain harvest this year.

Dance torch

After carrying the basket, I immediately began to dance the torch. It is said that the higher the flame, the better the crop harvest that year.

The traditional custom of sending cattle piles on the 16th day of the first month has a long history. I didn't know about family planning at that time. Many families, whose first and second children were girls, always wanted another boy, so they invited others to give them cow stakes in order to survive. Many times, whoever sends a pile of cows can always get what he wants. So it was popular to send piles at that time.
