Why do some regions celebrate the Lantern Festival on the 14th day of the first lunar month?The Filial Son's Change of FaithQin Minglei, a native of Linhai City in the Ming Dynasty, lost his mother when he was one month old and his father when he was five years old. He was adopted by his uncle Qin Wen, but Qin Wen also died soon after. He was then raised by his aunt (stepmother), Madam Yang, with great difficulty. In the 23rd year of Jiajing (1544), Qin Minglei passed the imperial examination at the age of 27 and took the imperial examination. During the court examination, the cabinet ministers submitted a proposal that ranked third. At that time, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty was praying for rain at the suburban altar. When he saw his name, he was very happy and personally promoted him to the first place, making him the top scholar. Qin once served as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing and was the editor-in-chief of the Yongle Encyclopedia. Qin Minglei was extremely respectful and filial to his aunt. During every festival, he would prepare delicious food for her. But his aunt was a Buddhist and she abstains from meat and eats vegetarian food on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month. In order to allow his aunt to enjoy the festival with the family, the Lantern Festival was moved forward one day. Similar legends include Xie Duo (from Taiping County), the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing and the Chief Academician of the Imperial College in the Ming Dynasty, Fang Guozhen (from Huangyan County), who ruled Taizhou, Wenzhou and Qingyuan (now Ningbo) in the late Yuan Dynasty, and Liu Ao, the prefect of Taizhou in the Qing Dynasty, who changed the Lantern Festival to show his filial piety to his mother. Qi Jiguang's Anti-Japanese War Theory The strategy says: When Qi Jiguang was fighting against Japanese pirates in Taizhou, the combat secrets were leaked. General Qi took advantage of the situation and moved the Lantern Festival forward by one night, thus annihilating the invading Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. From then on, the Lantern Festival was changed to the 14th. Ai Min said: According to legend, on the 14th day of the first lunar month one year, Qi Jiguang led his troops to station in Taozhu City in Linhai. General Zhang Lidao, the grain delivery officer, came to the tent to report that a large amount of military rations would not be delivered until the next morning, but the food in the warehouse was not enough that evening, so he asked if he could borrow grain from the people in the city. Qi Jiguang said that the people in Taozhu City had been robbed by Japanese pirates many times, and they had already saved money to support Qi's army, so how could they add more burden to them. Let Zhang Lidao go back and think of a solution. Zhang Lidao thought about it and came up with a way to have two meals in one. He led his soldiers to grind the remaining grain into powder, add water to make it into a paste, and then add various vegetables, meat, soy products and condiments to make a delicious soup. That night and the next morning, all the soldiers ate this soup. When the news came out, the people of Taozhu were very moved. To commemorate this event, they changed the Lantern Festival to the 14th day of the first lunar month, and fermented rice soup also became a traditional food for the Lantern Festival. The story of suppressing the enemy goes like this: On the 14th day of the first lunar month one year, Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army to defeat a group of invading Japanese pirates on the seashore. The Japanese pirates had no ships to go out to sea, so they had to flee inland. It was already dark when they fled to Huangyan. They ran around like stray dogs, some hiding in orange groves, and some hiding in houses. When Qi Jiguang arrived with his army, the people lit lamps and candles to help Qi's army search for the remaining enemies. For a moment, every house and every orange grove in and outside the city was brightly lit. The Japanese pirates had nowhere to hide and were all wiped out. To commemorate this event, people moved the Lantern Festival to the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, and lit lamps and candles in front of and behind their houses and inside and outside their houses. This later became a custom. A new stage of life has already begun in 2020.
