What is the Lower Yuan Festival?

The Xiayuan Festival is a traditional Chinese folk festival that falls on the 15th day of the 10th month in the lunar calendar. It is also known as "Xiayuan Day" or "Xiayuan". The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Shangyuan Festival by the Han people, which is a Lantern Festival that has existed since ancient times; the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is called the Zhongyuan Festival by the Han people, which is a day to worship ancestors; the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month is called the Xiayuan Festival by the Han people, which is a day to worship ancestors.
The origin of the Lower Yuan Festival is related to Taoism. Taoism has three officials: the Heavenly Official, the Earthly Official, and the Water Official. It is said that the Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the Earthly Official forgives sins, and the Water Official relieves disasters. The birthdays of the Three Officials are the 15th day of the first lunar month, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and the 15th day of the tenth lunar month. These three days are called "Shangyuan Festival", "Zhongyuan Festival" and "Xiayuan Festival". The Lower Yuan Festival is the day when the Water God relieves disasters and the Yanggu Emperor relieves disasters, and it is commonly known as this day.
