1. Worship Linshui Niangniang. People call the 14th day of the first lunar month the birthday of "Linshui Niangniang" (also known as "Shuntian Holy Mother"). Legend has it that Linshui Niangniang's surname was Chen. She lived during the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty and later became a deity who saved women with difficult childbirth. So people built a temple to worship her, and called her "Linshui Niangniang" and "Shuntian Shengmu". In fact, it is a patron saint created by women for themselves in an era when women had no status and science was underdeveloped. It was also a way for them to encourage themselves out of fear of difficult childbirth. 2. Stealing Greens The Hakka people have had the custom of “stealing greens” on the 14th day of the first lunar month since ancient times, which is called the “Stealing Greens Festival”.
