February 2nd Land Festival
"Xiangshan County Annals" records: "On the first day of February, people offer sacrifices to the community and burn large colorful firecrackers." According to historical records, the God of Land is commonly known as the God of Land, the Protector of the Land, the God of Land, and the God of Earth. It is customarily called the Spring Festival. It was the day when ancient people offered sacrifices to the god of the land in spring to pray for a good harvest. According to superstitious legends, the land god is a small ground god. The Baihutongyi states: "The earth carries all things, which explains why the earth has become divine." Since ancient times, farmers have attached great importance to land. Although farming in ancient times depended on weather rather than science, our ancestors used slash-and-burn methods. Therefore, the worship of the land god is the primitive worship of ancient ancestors. This is because the ancestors believed that the earth carries all things and that materials come from the earth. Therefore, on the second day of the second month in history, the villagers in various villages held a grand celebration of the land god in order to pray for the earth to nourish all things and for a good harvest.
February 2nd in southern China is the birthday of the God of Land, known as the "Land Birthday." In order to wish the God of Land a "warm birthday," some places have the custom of holding a "Land Meeting": every family collects money to celebrate the birthday of the God of Land, goes to the Land Temple to burn incense and offer sacrifices, beats gongs and drums, and sets off firecrackers.
