The ancient "Xiayuan Festival", also known as "Xiayuan Day", "Xiayuan" and "Xiayuan Birthday", has its origins related to Taoism. Taoism has three officials: the Heavenly Official, the Earthly Official, and the Water Official. The Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the Earthly Official forgives sins, and the Water Official relieves people from disasters. The Lower Yuan Festival is the day when the Water Official and Yanggu Emperor relieve people from disasters. It is the tenth month of the lunar calendar in 2018, and winter is approaching.

It is also known as "Xiayuan Day" or "Xiayuan". It is a traditional festival for ancestor worship, so many people consider it to be the Ghost Festival.The fifteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is the ancient "Xiayuan Festival". At this time, it is the harvest season in the countryside. Almost every household in Wujin uses glutinous rice flour ground from new grain to make small dumplings, fill them with vegetarian fillings, steam them, and then "fast the sky" outside the gate. Also, there is an old proverb that goes: "On the 15th day of October, people make rice dumplings and fast for the three officials." It turns out that Taoism believes that this day is the birthday of the "Three Officials" (Heavenly Official, Earthly Official, and Water Official). Taoist believers erect poles outside their homes with yellow flags hung on the poles. At night, three sky lanterns are hung on the top of the pole, and three officials are needed to make dumplings. After the Republic of China, this custom gradually fell into disuse, but the folks still held ceremonies such as memorializing the dead and burning the storehouse in advance on the "Zhongyuan Festival" on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. |
