The good or bad weather foreshadows the success or failure of people in this year. The seventh day is for children, the seventeenth day is for middle-aged people, and the twenty-seventh day is for the elderly. People also eat dumplings on this day, and in some places they eat noodles.On the 17th day of the first lunar month in 2011, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly, which was a good omen! It seems that all middle-aged people will have good luck this year. Send Cricket and Scorpion FestivalThere is also a festival on the 17th and 18th day of the first lunar month, called the "Sending Away Crickets, Scorpions and Hobbies" Festival. It was also night time, and we made a bonfire in the yard. But people no longer jump over bonfires or dance around them. They stare at the firewood until it burns to ashes, then take out a shovel from the house and shovel the ashes that have not yet been extinguished into the slope or beside the road. This is said to send away poisonous insects such as crickets and scorpions. This year the whole family will be peaceful and will not be harmed or bitten by poisonous insects anymore. The Cricket and Scorpion Festival is accompanied by the custom of cleaning. The diligent farmers shoveled away the garbage in the yard along with the ashes. The person who pours the ashes sometimes mutters something, indicating where, to whom or to whom the crickets, scorpions will be sent. Generally, the unanimous answer is "send them to the road without hurting anyone." However, if there is an enemy, they can directly ask the crickets, scorpions to be sent to a certain enemy.Falling lightsPut down the lights, collect the lanterns. The Lantern Festival ends today and all the colored lanterns must be removed, hence the name "put down the lights".Those with exquisite craftsmanship should be properly collected. All the dragon lanterns in the township are gathered in a temple or other public places, and the head and tail are burned, leaving the dragon body for use next year. Chinese food customs: Eat noodles today. There is a proverb: "The top of the lamp is round and the bottom of the lamp is flat." Lights offThe dragon lantern is the most popular group game during the Lantern Festival. It can be divided into three parts: the dragon head, the dragon body and the dragon tail. The dragon body is a long piece of cloth painted with dragon scales. It is easy to collect and does not fade easily. On this day, all dragon lanterns are collected and gathered at public places, such as community temples, and the head and tail are burned, leaving the dragon body for next use, thus saving waste.Acupuncture DayIn the old days, women spent a lot of time on needlework throughout the year. Today, they stop doing needlework in order to save eyesight. It is commonly known as "Acupuncture Day", which means avoiding acupuncture.White Tiger Opening DayThe 16th or 17th day of the first lunar month every year is the Waking of Insects Day, also known as the White Tiger Opening Day. The traditional practice is to offer sacrifices to the White Tiger, which later developed into the practice of beating villains.Miao Mangge FestivalThe 17th day of the first lunar month is the traditional "Mangge Festival" in Ancui Township, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, Guangxi.
