What is the Flower Festival also called and what are its other names?

The Flower Festival commemorates the birthday of all flowers. It is abbreviated as Flower Festival, commonly known as the "Flower God Festival", "Birthday of All Flowers", "Birthday of the Flower God", and "Picking Vegetables Festival". There is a saying that "the King of Flowers is in charge of human fertility", so it is also a festival of fertility worship. In ancient China, farming, fishing and hunting were all done by manpower. The more people there were, the stronger the productivity would be. Therefore, in ancient times, people hoped to have many offspring and a large population.

What are the customs of the Flower Festival?

Temple Fair to Celebrate the Goddess of Flowers: It is said that the Goddess of Flowers is in charge of the growth of plants in spring and summer, so those who worship her include not only flower growers but also farmers who grow crops, fruits and vegetables. There are many temples dedicated to the goddess of flowers in the Yangtze River Delta area. In the old days, flower farmers in Wu and Yue often worshipped statues of the goddess of flowers. The Flower Festival is the birthday of the flower god. In many places, many farmers gather in the flower god temple to set up offerings and wish the god a happy birthday. In some places, plays are performed to entertain the gods, usually with twelve actors playing the roles of the flower gods of each month in December each year. People flocked to the festival, thus forming a temple fair. On this night, "Flower God Lanterns" of various shapes are held up and paraded around the Flower God Temple to extend the activities of entertaining the god. Spring Outing and Catching Butterflies: In ancient times, during the Flower Festival, scholars would invite three or five close friends to enjoy the flowers, drink wine, sing and chant together all day long. Looking at the traditional festivals in February and March, we can find that the Spring Festival marks the beginning of the spring season, while the period around the Flower Festival marks the climax of spring outings. Kong Shangren, who wrote the famous play "Peach Blossom Fan", also wrote a bamboo poem to describe the grand occasion of returning from an outing on the Flower Festival: "A thousand-mile fairyland has turned into a drunken land, and the uneven city walls block the setting sun. Carved saddles and embroidered reins compete for the gate, bringing with them the fragrance of the world." During the Song Dynasty, "butterfly catching parties" were popular on the Flower Festival in Kaifeng, which was a very interesting recreational activity among the people at that time.
