Lantern Head Birthday: On the 13th day of the first lunar month, there is an important folk activity called "Lantern Head Birthday". People light lamps under the kitchen stove on this day, which is called "lighting the stove lamp". In fact, it is because the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of lantern festival, is approaching, and each family tries to make lanterns, so it is called the "lamp head" day. In the old days, Nantong started lighting lanterns on the 13th day of the first lunar month and put them out on the 18th day. There is a saying that "gods watch the lanterns on the 13th and 14th, people watch the lanterns on the 15th and 16th, and ghosts watch the lanterns on the 17th and 18th". There is also a custom of "putting on lanterns with round balls and taking off lanterns with noodles". There is a constant stream of people coming to see the lanterns in the City God Temple.2. Rolling Dragon Lantern: The custom of playing with rolling dragons during the Spring Festival has been passed down for more than a hundred years and usually lasts for four days. The 13th day of the first lunar month every year is for testing lanterns, the 14th day is for lighting lanterns, the 15th day is for lighting the main lanterns, and the 16th day is for lighting the round lanterns. In the evening of the lighting test day, six old dragons and several rolling dragons took to the streets for the first time. When the lanterns are first lit, the dragon lanterns begin to move up and down, circling and dancing everywhere. On both sides of the street, every household hung lanterns, burned incense and set off firecrackers. Then, rolling dragons, flower baskets, story lanterns, revolving lanterns, fish lanterns, lion lanterns, rabbit lanterns, butterfly lanterns, and golden pumpkin lanterns all took to the streets. 3. Making colorful lanterns: The 15th day of the first lunar month is the time for lantern making, which usually starts from the 13th day of the first lunar month. The New Year songs in old Beijing include "On the eleventh day, people are shouting and chatting; on the twelfth day, they are setting up the lantern shed; on the thirteenth day, they are lighting the lanterns; on the fourteenth day, the lanterns are brightly lit..." In other words, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is for "lighting the lanterns"; the fourteenth day is for "testing the lanterns"; the fifteenth day is for "the real lighting"; and the seventeenth day is for "turning off the lanterns". Starting from the 13th day of the first lunar month, people begin to hang up lanterns and make colorful lanterns! 4. Eating glutinous rice balls: "Eating glutinous rice balls for lanterns and eating noodles for lanterns, celebrating the New Year on the 15th day of the first lunar month." is another old custom of the Chinese. On the 13th night of the first lunar month, the whole family eats glutinous rice balls, which symbolizes "perfection". In fact, the children's hearts had already flown to the street. After eating a few bites, they pushed their bowls aside and ran to the street in groups of three or five to watch the lanterns. 5. Worship Guan Gong: There is a custom in rural China that on the 13th day of the first lunar month every year, people worship Guan Gong. Have you ever seen the offering called "Tiandiezi" used to worship Guan Gong? Big, plump soybeans are arranged in a row on the eaves, and colorful beans, melon seeds, and peach kernels are connected with bamboo sticks and stacked layer by layer on a shape supported by several plates, finally forming a series of exquisite pavilions. This is the unique folk handicraft "Tian Di Zi" in Chang'an District. 6. Making "holy insects": "One doesn't leave the house before the 15th day of the first lunar month." On the 13th day of the first lunar month, there is a custom of making "holy insects" in rural areas. On this day, women in the village get together in groups of three or five to knead dough, cut, carve, and steam them. This is the last "busy" of the Spring Festival and to welcome the Lantern Festival. Lifelike "holy insects" are produced by these skillful hands who can carry hoes and touch shovels. 7. Sea worship: The 13th day of the first lunar month is said to be the birthday of the Dragon King. On this day every year, fishermen hold various forms of sea worship activities, praying for good weather and a good harvest throughout the year. According to traditional customs, offerings have already been placed on the altar, including pig heads, carp, large steamed buns, etc. In front of the altar, people burned incense and paper, and kowtowed towards the sea. The deafening sound of firecrackers resounded through the world, and the dazzling fireworks expressed people's beautiful expectations for the new year. 8. Releasing sea lanterns: Releasing sea lanterns on the 13th day of the first lunar month is a traditional custom of Chinese fishermen. According to folklore, the 13th day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the goddess of the sea. In some areas in the south, there are different sayings that it is the 15th day of the seventh lunar month and the 23rd day of the third lunar month. Local fishermen and villagers follow traditional customs, placing offerings on the shore, lighting fireworks, and releasing beautifully crafted boat lanterns filled with blessings into the sea, praying for smooth sailing, happiness and peace. |
