Today, it is appropriate for Lao Huangli to get married, emigrate, earn money, make a bed for cooking, collect treasures, go to his post, seek inheritance, move land and give gifts to the people.

Today, in the old yellow calendar, it is forbidden to worship beams and erect columns, pray for blessings, plant ditches, drain water, build houses, build bridges, build dikes, open warehouses, provide medical relief, open markets, set up vouchers, collect livestock, break ground, drill and bury.

As can be seen from the above, today's blessing is to burn incense in the yellow calendar, so the Lantern Festival in 2020 is not suitable for burning incense!

Why do some areas celebrate the Lantern Festival on the 14th day of the first month?

On the reform of dutiful son

Qin, a native of Linhai Chengguan in the Ming Dynasty, lost his mother and father at the age of five. He belonged to his uncle Qin Wensheng, and Qin Wen died a few days later. His aunt (stepmother), Mrs. Yang, raised him with great pains.

In the twenty-third year of Jiajing (1544), Qin was only 27 years old and was a scholar, trying out countermeasures in the imperial court. When the cabinet minister came in the third place, Sejong of the Ming Dynasty prayed for rain in the suburban altar. Seeing its name, he was overjoyed. He was the first in his family and the top scholar. Qin used to be the history of Nanjing Ritual Department and the general school of Yongle Dadian.

Thinking of drinking water, Qin is extremely respectful and filial to his aunt. On holidays, he always prepares food and offerings carefully. However, my aunt believes in Buddhism and must abstain from meat and vegetables on the fifteenth day of the first day. In order to let his aunt enjoy the festive food with her family, the Lantern Festival was specially advanced by one day.

Similarly, the right assistant minister of Nanjing Ritual Department in the Ming Dynasty, Xie Duo (Taiping County) in imperial academy, Fang Guozhen (Huangyan County) separated from Taizhou, Wenzhou and Qingyuan (now Ningbo) in the late Yuan Dynasty, and Liu Ao, the magistrate of Taizhou in the Qing Dynasty, served their mothers and changed to Yuanxiao.

Qi Jiguang's Anti-Japanese Theory

The trick said: When Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese invaders in Taizhou, the secret leaked out, so General Qi played along and put forward the Lantern Festival one night in advance, killing the invading Japanese invaders in one fell swoop. Since then, the Lantern Festival has been changed to 14th.

Aimin said: According to legend, one year on the 14th day of the first month, Qi Jiguang led troops to Tao Zhu, which is near the sea. General Zhang Lidao, the grain delivery officer, reported before coming to the account that a large amount of rations could not be delivered until the next morning. When there was not enough food in the warehouse that night, he asked if he could borrow food from the city people.

Qi Jiguang said that the people in Taozhu City have been plundered by the Japanese army many times. In order to support the Qigujun, they have been scrimping and saving. How to increase their burden? Let Zhang Lidao go back and find a way.

Zhang Lidao thought about it and came up with a way to eat two meals at a time. He led the soldiers to grind the remaining grain into powder, add water to boil it into paste, and add various vegetables, meat, bean products and condiments to make delicious soup.

All the soldiers drank this bad soup that night and the next morning. After the news came out, the people of Tao Zhu were very moved. To commemorate this event, Yuanxiao was changed to the 14th day of the first month, and rotten soup became the traditional food of Yuanxiao.

"Suppressing the Enemy" said: On the 14th day of the first month of one year, Qi Jiguang led the Qi army to defeat an invading enemy at the seaside. The enemy had no boat to go to sea and had to flee to the mainland.

When they fled to Huangyan, it was getting late. They run around like SangGuQuan, some hiding in orange groves, some hiding in private houses.

Qi Jiguang led the army to arrive, and the people lit candles to help the Qigujun search for the remnants of the enemy. At that time, inside and outside the city, every house and orange grove was brightly lit everywhere. The enemy had nowhere to hide, and they were all wiped out.

In order to commemorate this event, people changed the Lantern Festival to the fourteenth night of the first month, and lit candles inside and outside oranges in front of the house, which later became a custom.
