Today is the eighth day of the lunar calendar. What festival is Qingdao? Why are firecrackers set off?

It's not only Qingdao, but also Shandong where firecrackers are basically set off.

The eighth day of the first month, also known as Shunxing Festival, is one of the traditional lunar festivals of the Han nationality. On this day, I mainly invited the names of the stars listed on the horse of < P > from the incense wax shop to learn about astronomy. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the stars in the Shunxing Festival is held at night. Rich people put up 18 lanterns, and ordinary people can also put up 49 lanterns, at least 9 lanterns, representing the nine fleeting stars of the sun, the moon, water, < P > fire, wood, gold, earth, Luohou and Jidu. The lamp bowl is shaped like a small goblet, muddy and copper, with soybean oil in it, and the lamp is twisted with "lamp paper".

Han folklore says that the eighth day of the first lunar month is millet's birthday. On a sunny day, I wish you a bumper harvest of rice this year, while on a cloudy day, I apologize for the year.

Some shopping malls or shops opened today, mainly for the purpose of "getting rich". May business prosper and make a fortune in the four seasons.

hope to adopt it, thank you.
