What are the traditional festivals of Manchu?

Traditional Manchu festivals include Shangyuan Festival, Walking Hundred Diseases, February 2nd, Insect King Festival and Zhongyuan Festival.

1, Shangyuan Festival: the fifteenth day of the first month, commonly known as "Lantern Festival". Manchu, like Han nationality, also has the custom of hanging lanterns and eating Yuanxiao.

2. Stay away from all diseases: a festival for Manchu women. Usually on the twentieth day of the first month. That night, women in groups of three or five traveled far away, or went roller skating, or had fun, and were called "peers with all diseases."

February 2nd: commonly known as "Dragon Head Up Day". On the morning of the same day, Manchu people scattered kitchen ashes in the courtyard, and the ash road was curved like a dragon, so it was called "Zhao Long". Then a ceremony was held in the yard to pray for good weather. The whole family will eat "Longxu Noodles" and "Longlin cake". Women can't do needlework on this day.

4, Insect King Festival: June day, easy to make insect disasters. Manchu people living in Xiuyan, Fengcheng and other places in Liaoning are used to going to the Insect King Temple to sacrifice and kill pigs on the sixth day of June, hoping to avoid disasters and ensure a good harvest in the fields. At present, there is no activity of the king of insects offering sacrifices to sweep, but every household should dry clothes on this day to prevent insects from eating.

5. Mid-Autumn Festival: The Manchu people take July 15 as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also regarded as a "ghost festival" to turn over the dead. Temples around the country set up Dojo, lit lamps to chant Buddhist scriptures, and held various transitional ceremonies. A wooden screen was placed in the east of the west side of the courtyard. When offering sacrifices, women worship first, and men worship later.
