The origin of festivals

October 15th of the lunar calendar is the "Xiayuan Festival" in ancient China. At this time, it is the harvest season in rural areas. Almost every household in Wujin wraps jiaozi and vegetarian dishes with new glutinous rice flour, steaming "fasting" outside the gate. There is also an old saying, "In October and a half, lead the regiment to fast the three officials."

It turned out that Taoism said that it was the birthday of the "three officials" (heavenly officials, local officials and water officials), and Taoist people erected Tianzhu outside their homes with yellow flags hanging on it. Hang three lanterns at the top of the pole at night to be the three officials of Tuanzi Village. After the Republic of China, this custom was gradually abandoned, but the ceremony of sacrificing the dead and burning warehouses was held in advance on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.
