Among China's folk festivals, this is the only one in which housewives take the lead in offering sacrifices, reflecting the importance of women in family life in ancient times.Filling the granary Festival The so-called filling the granary means filling the granary. At dawn on this day, every household would use sifted cooking ash to spread out grain bin shapes of varying sizes in their own yards or threshing floors, and put some grains in them, symbolizing a good harvest. The Granary Filling Festival is divided into two festivals: Small Granary Filling Festival and Big Granary Filling Festival. The small filling of the warehouse is on the 20th day of the first lunar month, and the large filling of the warehouse is on the 25th day of the first lunar month. Nowadays, in many places, regardless of size, the Tiancang Festival is celebrated on the 23rd day of the first lunar month. There is an ancient Chinese traditional festival in Guanzhong region called the Butian Festival, which is also called Queen's Day and Wa Po Festival. According to legends and local relics, this festival originated in the Lishan area of Lintong. The Patching Sky Festival falls on the 20th day of the first lunar month in some places and on the 23rd day of the first lunar month in other places. It is said that the former is Nuwa's birthday, and the latter is the day when Nuwa patched the sky. On the day of the festival, the elders and housewives make pancakes or steamed cakes with dough. The cakes are required to be round and thin, and are called "Bu Tian Bing". The ceremony of mending the sky and the earth is very simple. A sky-patching cake is tied with red silk thread and thrown onto the roof of one's house to symbolize mending the sky. Another piece of cake is broken off and thrown into the well or corner of the yard to symbolize mending the earth. After the ceremony, the whole family eats the Bu Tian Cake. Today, the rocks behind the Shiweng Temple on Dongxiuling Mountain in Mount Li are still red. According to Chinese folk legend, they were burned red by Nuwa of Mount Li who refined the five-colored stones. The rural areas around Mount Li celebrate the "Paying the Sky and Repairing the Earth Festival" on the 20th day of the first lunar month every year. Every family makes pancakes or steamed cakes, and before the pancakes are cooked, they throw one onto the roof of the house, which is called "Paying the Sky"; and throw another one on the ground, which is called "Paying the Earth". These are all ways to commemorate Nuwa, allowing people to forever remember Nuwa's merits in saving the world. The Huaqing Hot Springs at the foot of Mount Li are famous both at home and abroad. Why are there hot springs here? Chinese folk legend goes like this: When Nuwa smelted the five-colored stones, the flames illuminated the sky red and illuminated the earth. The fire was absorbed by the sun god, and the sun began to emit dazzling light again, shining on the world all year round; the heat was absorbed by the water under Mount Li, and the water turned into hot springs that flow all year round. This hot spring became magical because of Nuwa's magic power, and it has the effect of warding off evil spirits, removing poisons, eliminating disasters and curing diseases. For thousands of years, Mount Li's hot springs have been well-known and attract many visitors. Nowadays, bathing in hot springs has become a major event for all people. People come here to wash away the dirt on their bodies, get rid of diseases, improve their health and prolong their lives, and they can also cleanse their souls and minds in this place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. |
