Shuimoxiansheng.com has predicted the good and bad luck for each day of the first lunar month of 2019. Come and pay attention.What are the customs and habits on the 14th day of the first lunar month in 2019?1. Worship Linshui Niangniang. The Han 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. Therefore, the Han 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. Drink eye-brightening soup. In Xinchang, there is a custom of drinking eye-brightening soup on the 14th day of the first lunar month. There is a saying among the Han people that once the bright eye soup is drunk on the fourteenth night, it means that the Spring Festival is almost over and everyone should start to cheer up and start work in the new year. 3. Testing Lanterns In order to prepare for the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Han people and the imperial court would build lantern sheds, hang lanterns and decorations, and do some preparatory activities for entertainment programs, which was called "testing lanterns" in order to welcome the annual Lantern Festival. As for the vendors selling lanterns in the market, they have already prepared all kinds of lanterns to sell, which has become a "lantern market". 4. Fuxi’s Birthday In Tianshui, Gansu, Fuxi is called the ancestor of mankind. The 14th day of the first lunar month is the ancestor of mankind’s birthday, and sacrificial activities are held on this day. The preparation of sacrificial offerings begins the night before, and includes a whole slaughtered pig or sheep, as well as fruits and other foods. The ancient cypress trees in the courtyard are covered with little red paper figures. When the midnight hour arrives, people begin to read sacrificial texts, recalling the merits of their ancestors and describing the good life we have today. Afterwards, they would worship the ancestral god, perform operas, and perform folk performances, praying for peace, longevity, and good harvests throughout the years. After the sacrifice, the offerings are distributed to the worshippers, meaning that the ancestors have given food. 5. Eat fermented rice soup. The Lantern Festival is one of the four major traditional festivals of the Han nationality. Because the first month of the year is the first month and the fifteenth day is the first full-moon night of the year, it is also called the "Shangyuan Festival." The Lantern Festival activities across my country are similar. The streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and people admire the lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and eat rice dumplings. This has become a custom passed down from generation to generation, and the name of the festival has evolved into "Lantern Festival." In Taizhou, the Lantern Festival falls on the 14th day of the first lunar month. Its festive atmosphere has unique characteristics and connotations. The custom of eating fermented rice soup on the night of the Lantern Festival in Taizhou is unique in the country. |
