For more details about the 2019 lunar calendar for February, please visit Mr. Shuimo’s website for consultation!How to calculate the Spring Festival?1. The Spring Festival is the fifth day after the beginning of spring. Therefore, the specific date is calculated from the beginning of spring. The beginning of spring in 2018 is on February 4th, which is the day for inferring the Spring Festival.2. Another method of calculating the Spring Festival is the second "Wu" day before Qingming Festival (the six days of Wu Zi, Wu Yin, Wu Chen, Wu Wu, Wu Shen and Wu Xu are called Wu days, also known as "Six Wu"). Therefore, the Spring Festival is usually held about ten days before Qingming Festival. What traditional food is eaten on the Spring Festival on the first day of February 2019?The Spring Festival is usually held on the day Wu after the Spring Equinox. On the day of Spring Festival, people gather in the community temple and place rich food on it to worship the community god, including community wine, community meat, community rice, community noodles, community cakes, community porridge, etc. After the sacrifice, the food is shared with everyone. Community wine is the wine used for community sacrifices. According to legend, drinking community wine can cure deafness, so no one will go home until they are drunk.Sherou, the meat used in community sacrifices, is also called "Furou". After the sacrifice to the gods is completed, it is divided among every household that participated in the community sacrifice. "Records of the Grand Historian: The Biography of Prime Minister Chen" records that Chen Ping presided over the work of dividing the meat in the village. He distributed the meat very fairly and was praised by the villagers. People believed that being able to get the meat of the community was a gift from God. So Lu You wrote in his poem "Community Meat": "I return home drunk with the remaining meat, and leave it to all my grandchildren." He brought the meat home and distributed it to his descendants, so that all the family members, young and old, could feel the grace of God. Community rice is the rice used to worship the community god. First prepare the rice, then cut the pork, mutton, kidney, lung, tripe, duck cake, melon, ginger, etc. into thin slices, mix the five flavors, and spread them on the rice. Put it in a gourd and give it to each other. Shemian, eating noodles on the Spring Festival day in Yangqu, Shanxi, is called Shemian. Shegao, in Lu'an area of Shanxi Province, people eat rice cake, which is called Shegao. In Jianyang, Fujian, on the morning of Spring Festival, the villagers make porridge and distribute it to every household, which is called Shezhou. About ChunsheThe Spring Festival in February is also known as the Spring Festival, which is a day to worship the land god in spring. It is a traditional Chinese festival. There was no fixed date in ancient times, and the dates chosen in the pre-Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties were different. Since the Song Dynasty, the fifth day after the beginning of spring has been regarded as the community day.In ancient China, the Community Day Festival was held twice a year, divided into "Spring Community Day" and "Autumn Community Day". During the Spring Community Day, people prayed for the blessings of the community gods and a good harvest. The Autumn Festival is a day to report the good news of the harvest to the community god after the harvest to express gratitude to the community god. "She" refers to the god of land in ancient times. "Sheji" in Baihutongyi records: "People cannot stand without land and cannot eat without grain. The land is too vast to worship one by one, so the land is sealed and the gods are established." Zheng Xuan commented: "Hou Tu is She." Later, it was convenient to worship the god of land. The "Spring Festival" in February is a spring festival to worship the "God of Land" and the God of Grains. It is also called the Zhonghe Festival. According to "Guangji", "villagers make Zhonghe wine and offer sacrifices to Gumang seeds in order to pray for a good harvest." It embodies the ancient Chinese working people’s prayers for a better life.
