It is also known as the "October Festival", "Ancestor Worship Festival" and "Mingyin Festival". People call it Guitou Day. It is a traditional Chinese sacrificial festival which is said to have originated in the Zhou Dynasty.There is a line in "The Book of Songs·Bin Feng·July" that goes "The fireflies fly in July, and clothes are given out in September." It means that after the frost falls, the monarch will give clothes to people to keep warm. The first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is Qin's New Year's Day, the first day of winter. Faced with the increasingly cold weather, people burn funeral clothes when they worship their ancestors in addition to the usual offerings such as food, incense, candles, and paper money. So, this activity was called "Sending Winter Clothes". Therefore, the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is also called the "Burning Clothes Festival." It is known as one of the three major "Ghost Festivals" of the year, along with the "Tomb-Sweeping Day" in spring and the "Zhongyuan Festival" in autumn (the 15th day of the seventh lunar month). Then, the sacrifice of "sending winter clothes" probably originated from the "granting clothes" in Zhou Dynasty, flourished in Qin Dynasty, and has been passed down to this day, forming a tradition of ancestor respect among the Han people.

Legend of Zhu Yuanzhang "giving clothes" on Cold Clothes FestivalThe tenth month of the lunar calendar was an important month in ancient times, as it was the time when rice was harvested and stored in warehouses. “In this month, the emperor began to wear fur clothes” (The Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances). The emperor used the ceremony of wearing winter clothes to announce to the common people that winter had come. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing in the early Ming Dynasty. In order to show that he was in compliance with the will of heaven, he held a morning court on the first day of October, performed the "clothing-granting" ceremony, and made a hot soup with freshly harvested red beans and glutinous rice for his ministers to taste. A Nanjing folk proverb says: "In the morning of October, wear a cotton-padded jacket and eat bean soup to keep out the cold." "Cold Clothes Festival" came from this. While people are putting on more clothes to keep out the cold, they are also sending winter clothes to those who are guarding the border, doing business, or studying far away from home to show their concern and care.The arrival of 2020 proves that your fortune has also changed.
