The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of all ethnic groups in China. over 100 years ago, the folk artist "Baibenzhang" once wrote in his songbook: "In the first month of the year, every family celebrates the New Year, and the Lantern Festival puts the lanterns on view, the moon is full, the flower boxes look everywhere, the firecrackers burst noisy, causing people to travel along the streets and alleys." This is a vivid portrayal of the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year in history.

According to legend, this festival has existed in China since the time of Yao and Shun. In the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang dynasties, there were also records of the Spring Festival and the custom of celebrating the first day of the year. However, the calendar at that time, is to rely on the "observation of the time", whether it is accurate, it is difficult to determine. In 104 BC, in the first year of Emperor Wu's reign, the Chinese people created the "Taichu Calendar", which clearly stipulated that the first month of the Lunar Calendar was the first day of the year. Since then, the custom of Lunar New Year has been passed down for more than 2,000 years. It was not until the founding of New China and the switch to the AD that the festival was changed to the Spring Festival.

Lunar Lantern Festival

The 15th day of the first month of the Lunar Calendar is the traditional Chinese festival of the Lantern Festival. The first month of the year is the first month of the year, the ancient people called the night "night", and the fifteenth day of the year is the first night of the full moon, so the fifteenth day of the first month of the year is called the Lantern Festival. It is also known as the "Festival of the New Year". According to Chinese folk tradition, in the beginning of the year, the earth back to spring festival night, the sky bright moon hanging high, on the ground colorful lanterns people watching the lanterns, guessing riddles, eating Lantern Festival family reunion, a happy and harmonious.

The Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, and is said to have been set up by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to commemorate the "Ping Lu". After the death of Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu usurped power and the Lu clan took control of the dynasty. After the death of Empress Lu, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and others pacified her power and installed Liu Heng as Emperor Wen of Han. Since the day of the quelling of Lu was the 15th day of the first month, every year after that, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty went out of the palace in a small dress and had fun with the people to commemorate the occasion. And the 15th day of the first month was designated as the Lantern Festival. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrifice of "Taiyi God" was held on the fifteenth day of the first month. Sima Qian listed the Lantern Festival as one of the major festivals in the "Taichu Calendar".

The folk proverb.

Whenever the Spring Dragon Festival comes, most areas in the north of China in the morning of this day, every family with a lantern to the well or the river to pick water, back to the home will be lighted, burn incense, offerings. In the old days, people called this ceremony "lead field dragon".

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, people have to hold dragon boat races on rivers, lakes and seas, but also to eat rice dumplings, wearing incense bags, trekking to pick mugwort, etc. These activities have become a thousand years of customs from ancient times to the present day has been in the continuation of the custom.

When it comes to the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, people will first think of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. According to legend, during the Warring States period, King Xiang of Chu favored sycophants, and Qu Yuan was dismissed and banished for his righteousness. Qin took the opportunity to attack Chu, and thousands of miles of Chu territory were destroyed. Seeing the country's destruction and the displacement of the people, Qu Yuan had the intention to serve his country but was unable to do so. In anger, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Bioluo River with a huge boulder in his arms. Local people heard Qu Yuan cast the river, have come to the rescue, they go downstream, has been chased to the Dongting Lake, also did not find Qu Yuan's body, the lake boat traffic shuttle barge swimming scene is spectacular. This day is the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. Later, on this day, people will race dragon boats on the river, intended to commemorate Qu Yuan. People also put the dumplings into the water, just to feed the fish, lobsters and crabs, to protect Qu Yuan's body from being devoured.

The Tanabata Valentine's Day

The Tanabata Festival, also known as the "Begging for Coquettishness Festival", is the most romantic of the traditional Chinese festivals. According to legend, the night of the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the time when the "Weaving Maiden" and the "Cowherd" meet in the sky. The "Weaving Maiden" is a beautiful, clever, dexterous nymph, the mortal women will be begging for her wisdom and skill on this night, but also to her to ask for the gift of a beautiful marriage.

In the Buddhist scriptures, the Obon Sutra, with its aim of cultivating filial piety and inspiring the Buddha ****, is in line with the Chinese customary beliefs of memorializing the ancestors, so it became more and more popular. There is a popular story about a monk who saved his mother's life:

"There was a monk named Meguren, who was very powerful. When his mother fell into the path of the hungry ghosts, the food she consumed turned into flames, and she suffered too much from hunger. Unable to save his mother, he sought the Buddha's guidance and spoke the Bon Sutra, which teaches that a bon be made on the 15th day of the 7th month to save his mother."

Mid-Autumn Festival

The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in China, and is the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival. Also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Reunion Festival, August Festival, etc., it is a traditional festival of the Han Chinese and most of the ethnic minorities in China, and is also popular in neighboring countries such as North Korea, Japan and Vietnam. Because of the fall of the seven, eight, nine months (refers to the lunar calendar), August in the middle, and the thirty days of August, but also the fifteenth in the middle, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. And because of this night, the moon is in the sky, the folk more in this night family reunion, so it is also known as the reunion festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the story of Chang'e running to the moon. According to the history books, "In the past, Chang'e took the medicine of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West and served it, so she ran to the moon as the moon spirit." The price Chang'e paid for this act was to be punished with hard labor and not be able to return to earth for the rest of her life. Li Bai was very sad about this and wrote the following poem: "The white rabbit pounds medicine in the fall and then in the spring, who is the neighbor of the female Chang'e who lives alone?" Although Chang'e herself feels the good of the Moon Palace, but also can not bear the loneliness, in the 15th of August every year when the moon is full and the night is clear, return to the earth to reunite with her husband, but in the morning before it must return to the Moon Palace. Whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival comes around, people in the future generations would like to go to the moon and get together with Chang'e, and they also hope that Chang'e will come down to the earth to have a glimpse of her face. Therefore, many people burned incense to worship the moon, praying that "men would like to walk to the Toad Palace early, climb the immortal laurel; women would like to look like Chang'e, round as the white moon." Year after year, people celebrate this day as a festival. The 9th day of the 9th month is a celebration custom that existed in ancient times. The Tang Dynasty officially designated Chongyang as a festival. In the Tang Dynasty, people have the custom of climbing up and inserting cornelian cherry blossoms on the Chongyang Festival.

The origin of the Chongyang Festival can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Qu Yuan wrote in "Faraway Journey", "Setting the Chongyang people in the Emperor's Palace. By the Han Dynasty, the custom of Chongyang gradually became popular among the people. It is said that after Mrs. Wei, the beloved consort of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, was brutally murdered by Empress Lu, Jia, the courtesan who served Mrs. Qi, was also expelled from the palace and married a poor man as his wife. Jia spread the word that in the palace, on the ninth day of the ninth month of every year, it was necessary to wear cornelian cherry, eat lotus bait, and drink chrysanthemum wine in order to live a long life. Thus, the custom of Chongyang spread from the palace to the people, and gradually flourished.

LaBa Festival

The most important festival in the month of Lunar New Year is the eighth day of the twelfth month of the year, which was known as the "Lunar New Year's Day" in ancient times, commonly known as the "Lunar New Year's Day". Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Laha Festival has been used to worship ancestors and gods, and to pray for a good harvest and good fortune. It is said that Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, became a Buddhist on the eighth day of the twelfth month, so Lahai is also a Buddhist festival, called "Buddha became a festival".

The day of Lapa congee custom, Lapa congee is also called "seven treasures and five flavors of congee". China's history of drinking Laha congee, has been more than a thousand years. The earliest began in the Song Dynasty. Every Laha day, whether it is the court, the government, the temple or the people's home to do Laha congee. In the Qing Dynasty, the custom of drinking Laha congee was even more prevalent. In the court, the emperor, the empress, the emperor's son and so on to the civil and military ministers, court ladies give Laha congee, and to the various monasteries to distribute rice, fruit and so on for the monks to eat. In the civil society, families also make Laha congee to worship their ancestors; at the same time, families get together to eat it and give it to their friends and relatives.

It is said that every year on the 23rd day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Zaowang goes up to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor on the good and bad deeds of the family, so that the Jade Emperor can reward and punish them. Therefore, when sending the stove, people in front of the Zaowang statue of the table for candy, water, beans, fodder grass; which, the latter three is for the Zaowang ascension of the mount prepared materials. At the time of the Zao Festival, the candies are also melted with fire and applied on the mouth of the Zao Wang. In this way, he will not be able to speak ill of the Jade Emperor. There is a custom that "men don't worship the moon, women don't worship Zao", so the worship of Zao Wang is limited to men only.
