What festival is March 3rd in Henan?

March 3rd is the same festival for Han people and many ethnic minorities. In the vast China, different regions have different definitions of "March 3rd", so the names and customs of festivals are naturally quite different. ★ Shangsi Festival Shangsi Festival is an ancient traditional festival of Han nationality, commonly known as March 3rd. It was designated as the first day of March before the Han Dynasty, and later as the third day of March in the summer calendar. "Shangsi" is not only a festival to drive away evil spirits and seek good luck, but also known as Daughter's Day. On this day, daughters will hold adult ceremonies. Shangsi Festival has a long history: the first Shangsi Day in March was regarded as "Shangsi" in ancient times, and it was designated as a festival in Han Dynasty. It is the third day of the month, and the officials and the people are all on the east running water. It is said that washing away dirt (disease) is a big deal. "Later, the content of water banquets and outings was added. In ancient times, March was three very important festivals. Unfortunately, after the Song Dynasty, the ethical code was more strict, and private meetings between men and women were not allowed. This festival is gradually fading away and finally forgotten by people. The outing was also changed to Qingming. & gt& gt& gt& gt Water Festival: If the Double Ninth Festival can be called a festival at the top of the mountain, then the Shangsi Festival can be called a festival by the water. This festival is on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and its main content is bathing water to eliminate ominous. It's late spring, the weather is fine, the officials and the people are ready to wait, gather at the water's edge, splash water on their bodies, and go for an outing in the wild, which gives them a sense of life. It is recorded in The Analects that Confucius and several of his students bathed in Yishui in spring clothes, which is the trace of this festival custom. The earliest record of this festival is the literature in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. Zheng Xuan's "Zhou Li" notes: "Eighteen years old, this March, like water." Decorated by cultural celebrities, this festival has an elegant atmosphere. & gt& gt& gt& gt The custom of Shangsi Festival: wearing Hanfu, dancing, flying kites, taking a bath, hiking and offering sacrifices to Gao Qi. Legend has it that the Festival of Thinking is also related to China's calligraphy. On the Festival of Thinking in 353 AD, Wang Xizhi and 465,438+0 literary friends gathered in Lanting, Shaoxing to write. Thinking about dieting custom: the ancients had the custom of floating eggs to beg for children. When having a picnic, throw boiled eggs and duck eggs into the river to make them flow down the river, so that people waiting downstream can take them out of the water and eat them, which is called "floating eggs in the water"; Some people throw red dates into the torrent, calling them "Qushui Fujiang Jujube". Hot eggs that have just been cooked are difficult to peel, so it is an interesting idea to throw them in clean water for a while before eating. In any culture, eggs are a symbol of fertility. Zhuang, Dong and other ethnic groups still have the custom of eating eggs on March 3rd. In the Tang Dynasty, March 3rd was still an important national holiday. On this festival, the emperor will entertain ministers in Qujiang. The so-called "Qushui" has gradually disappeared from many traditions of Shangsi Festival since the Song Dynasty. & gt& gt& gt& gt ancestor worship festival is first of all a "three-day festival". On the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Minnan people have the old custom of offering sacrifices to their ancestors, which is called "San San Festival", also known as "dog days". According to legend, the origin of "March 3" is closely related to the national hero Zheng Chenggong. Origin: According to one legend, Zheng Chenggong fought the Qing Dynasty at his bases in Xiamen and Jinmen. In order to realize the desire of "anti-Qing dynasty and regaining sight", he joined forces with the enemy and was determined. Even when he heard the word "Qing", he felt uncomfortable. At that time, some people said that "drinking tea" meant "drinking green tea". He was very angry and immediately reprimanded and corrected. Especially for "Tomb-Sweeping Day", putting the word "Qing" on the word "Ming" made him even more annoyed, so he ordered the local people not to sweep graves in "Tomb-Sweeping Day" but to worship their ancestors on "March 3". Another legend is that the Qing army bears a grudge after being defeated by Zheng Chenggong's army many times. Later, Zheng Chenggong sent troops to expel Holland and recover Taiwan Province Province. The Qing army took the opportunity to invade Xiamen and Kinmen, destroying cities and demolishing houses, burning and looting, resulting in the tragedy of "Jiahe broken family". & gt& gt& gt& gt among Taiwan Province compatriots, some families sweep graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and some families sweep graves on March 1st (a three-day festival). The former is Quanzhou immigrants, while the latter is Zhangzhou immigrants. Custom: Eating Pancakes Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, people worship their ancestors with pancakes, and then the whole family gathers around to eat pancakes. Pancakes, also called wet cakes or spring cakes, are made of fine flour with thin and tough skin and rolled with ingredients. The key to pancakes is ingredients. Ingredients, or fillings, are generally dried tofu, pork, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, carrots, white radishes, leeks, garlic white and so on. When eating, put the ingredients on the pancake skin, roll them into a bamboo tube, and coat them with some hot sauce and mustard. Because all kinds of dishes are mixed together, it tastes delicious. Some people say that there is nothing better than pancakes in Minnan cooking. & gt& gt& gt& gt There are two legends about pancakes. First, there was a scholar named Cai from Tong 'an in the Ming Dynasty. He was ugly, clumsy and lame, but he was born smart and knowledgeable. At that time, the emperor was also a talented person and made him a tour guide in seven provinces and thirteen provinces. Some people in the court supported him, some envied him and some wanted to murder him. Someone deliberately kept him too busy to eat and wanted to starve him to death ... On the other hand, after Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan Province Province, people would worship their ancestors on the third day of the third lunar month. Minnan people worship their ancestors with pancakes on March 3 every year, commonly known as dog days or dog days. & gt>> ★ Fu Ji can explain the origin of "March 3rd". Fuxi and his sister, Nu Wa, unearthed human beings to reproduce. In eastern Henan, Fuxi is honored as the "ancestor", and the ancient temple of Taihaoling was built in Huaiyang (the capital of Fuxi). From February 2nd to March 3rd of the lunar calendar, the Temple Fair of Taihaoling was held. Good men and women all gathered in the mausoleum area to worship their ancestors. According to legend, the birthday of Huangdi in Xuanyuan is on March 3rd. China has had "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up; I was born in Xuanyuan on March 3rd. Xuanyuan Huangdi is considered to be the ancestor of Chinese culture and the same ancestor of Chinese descendants. According to historical records, xinzheng city, Henan Province, known as the Xiongguo during the Yellow Emperor's period, has more than 20 cultural relics of the Yellow Emperor, which is the place where the Yellow Emperor was born, started his business and established his capital. Xuanyuan Huangdi rallied in Xiu De, caressing the people all over the world, spreading everywhere, melting Yandi and unifying the whole country. & gt& gt& gt& gt In order to commemorate the merits of the Yellow Emperor, various ancestor worship activities are held in the hometown of the Yellow Emperor on the third day of March every year. Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, this folk activity was further developed in the name of Zheng Xiangzi, and the activity of offering sacrifices to Xuanyuan Huangdi (located in xinzheng city, the remains of Huangdi's activities) was held on March 3, and the folk custom was continued. There is a seven-character poem in Dumen Zayong in the late Qing Dynasty, which describes the grand occasion of the temple fair in that year: "Born in spring on the third day of March, watch the Flat Peach Palace burn incense; There is a slight wind along the river and the world of mortals is everywhere. "Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West is the patron saint of a primitive tribe in the west. She has two magic weapons: one is to take the elixir of life, and the other is to eat peaches-flat peaches, which can prolong life. The full name of Flat Peach Palace is "Flat Peach Palace for Defending National Peace", which is located on the small earthen terrace on the south bank of the moat. Sit south facing north, facing the Dongyue Temple outside Chaoyangmen. Founded in the Ming Dynasty, it is dedicated to the Empress Dowager, Goddess Dou Mu and other immortals. It was destroyed and rebuilt in the first year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. Pilgrimage and begging for children are the urgent wishes of many pilgrims. This is also the difference between the Pantao Palace Temple Fair and other temple fairs in Beijing. The pilgrims knelt down and begged the queen. After making a wish, they respectfully chose a clay doll at the foot of their idol, wrapped it in small clothes prepared in advance and put it in their arms. In order to have a baby, please go home and "raise" it. This is called "tying dolls" in Beijing. In recent years, on March 3rd, on the north side of the former site of Pantao Palace, next to the ruins park of ancient city walls in Ming and Qing Dynasties, there will be a lively scene of flowers blooming and crowds surging. & gt& gt& gt& gt According to legend, the Duke of Zhou led a skillful craftsman and made great efforts to move mountains to build Luoyi. After the completion of Luoyi, he climbed Mangshan Mountain and was very happy to see the streets and lanes in the city orderly and the Luoshui winding around the east of the city. He ordered hundreds of officials to gather on the banks of the Luoshui River to hold large-scale activities. This large-scale activity is based on the old habits of the Yin people. In the sky in spring, the cold is not exhausted, and it is easy to get sick when it is warm at first, so everyone held a "withering" activity by the Luoshui River to prevent diseases and pray for health. & gt& gt& gt& gt Gu Mi's birthday The "March 3rd" of the She nationality is really unique. Today is Gu Mi's birthday. On this day, every household of She nationality eats traditional black rice, and the fragrance is overflowing in front of and behind the village. Why is "March 3rd" of She nationality Gu Mi's birthday? And must eat black rice? There is another story. It was a long, long time ago in March. Due to insect pests and poor harvest years ago, coupled with the increase in rent and taxes by mountain owners, every household of the She nationality lacked food. The hateful mountain owner even took the grain seeds. Her people suffer from starvation. However, the ruthless mountain owner gloated. Instead of lending grain seeds, they released vicious dogs and bit the She people who came to borrow grain. & gt& gt& gt& gt After the rise of Taoism, it is believed that the third day of the third lunar month is the day of the flat peach festival for the Queen Mother of the West. Sacrificing Empress Xi is very popular all over the country, but there are also customs of offering sacrifices to other gods to pray for their children in other places, such as offering sacrifices to Sanmao Zhenjun in Yangzhou, also known as blind people. Wenzhou worships ghosts and gods on the third day of the third lunar month, praying for good health and having more children. There is a lion club in Xiamen and a boy throwing club in Chengdu. At the boy throwing party, whoever robs the boy can have a baby, so the man who robs the boy is regarded as a hero. Infertile women in Qihe, Shandong Province will go to Niangniang Temple to burn incense and worship God on the third day of the third lunar month, and the host will draw a red line for them. The seeker will tie a clay doll with a red line, symbolizing the son given by the queen, and put the clay doll in a hole in the wall after giving birth. Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, they burn incense for the queen. Now the third day of the third lunar month has been gradually cancelled, but there are similar customs in various places, such as Jiesan Girl in Fanchang, Anhui, Zi Long Temple Fair in Lishui, Zhejiang, Dragon King Festival in Yongji, Jilin, and Shuangzhong Temple Fair in Haining, Zhejiang and so on.

Some people even offered sacrifices to the God of Heaven on the same day, which became the day of offering sacrifices to plowshares, and spring ploughing activities began from then on. Because of this, after the last festival, people began to be busy with farming. & gt& gt& gt > March 3rd, stepping on the beach "is a folk custom in Shipu Town, Xiangshan. There are several theories about its origin. One of them is related to productive labor: around the third day of March in the local lunar calendar, the ground temperature and water temperature began to rise, and shallow sea spicy snails scrambled to climb the beach to breed. Local people go to the seaside to pick up snails in this season, resulting in the labor scene of "stepping on the beach on March 3". Nowadays, although the beachhead resources are gradually exhausted, the local old people still can't bear to take their younger generation to the seaside on this day to relive the scene of collecting snails in the past. The labor scene of "March 3, stepping on the beach" has gradually formed a brand-new folk cultural activity. & gt& gt& gt& gt The love plot "March 3rd" is a traditional festival of Li and Miao people, also known as "love plot".
