The Chinese Yuan Festival is a traditional festival in China, so it has to be calculated according to the lunar calendar, which is the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. It is also usually called the Ghost Festival. It is said that on the day of the Chinese Yuan Festival, all ghosts can get a day off to come to the sun. Ghosts with children and grandchildren can go home to see their descendants and accept their worship, while those ghosts can only wander around, waiting for an opportunity to find something to eat.
On the day of the Chinese Yuan Festival, in order to avoid colliding with some things, the diligent master will stop work early and get home before dark. Try to stay at home at night, and avoid going to places that are full of lights. There is really no way to take the night road, so you have to keep your mouth shut. Don't say yes even if someone calls you. Don't learn "Song Dingbo Catch Ghosts". Don't defecate or spit on the roadside.
Shangyuan Festival
In fact, everyone is no stranger to the Shangyuan Festival. It is the Lantern Festival that we usually celebrate. The time is the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar (the "Zheng" of the "first month" is pronounced as the "Zheng" of the "Long March").
Everyone is quite familiar with the customs of the Lantern Festival, such as enjoying lanterns, eating dumplings, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks in some places. The Lantern Festival is the last day of the new year. Many friends who go out to work will not start their hard work journey until after the Lantern Festival.
Xiayuan Festival
Not many people know about the Xiayian Festival, because after the Republic of China, the customs about the Xiayian Festival were gradually abolished, and the folk activities of offering sacrifices to the dead were held in advance to the Zhongyuan Festival. In fact, the Lower Yuan Festival is the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, which indicates that the year is coming to an end. In ancient times, people had to carry out major sacrificial activities, which were no less important than the Upper Yuan Festival and the Middle Yuan Festival.
In Taoism, there are heavenly officials, local officials and water officials. The heavenly officials are in charge of blessing, the local officials are in charge of pardoning sins, and the water officials are in charge of solving sins. During the Yuan Festival, the water officer went down to investigate the people's feelings and solved the bad luck. People make some delicious fried food dumplings or bean paste buns to worship and give to each other.
Chinese traditional festivals are not only the inheritance of culture but also the inheritance of filial piety. Whether it is Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, or Xiyuan Festival, we should all know something about it. Today is the Chinese Yuan Festival. Go home early, cook a good table of dishes, put on good wine, and tell the children about the origin of the festival.
