The eighth day of the first month is the Valley Day.

If the weather is sunny, there will be a bumper harvest of rice this year, and if it is cloudy, there will be a shortage in the next year. The eighth day of the first month, also known as "Shunxing Festival", is a festival that can predict one year's luck, so don't get angry on this day, or it will affect one year's luck. On the eighth day of the first month of the first month, people make small lanterns to burn and sacrifice them, which is called Shunxing, also known as "offering stars" and "receiving stars".

according to Taoism and astrologers, everyone has a star who is on duty every year, and the fate of a person in a year is entirely in the hands of this star, and the eighth day of the first month of each year is the gathering period of the stars, which is also known as the "lower bound of the stars", so it is possible to get the blessing of the stars by offering sacrifices to them on this day. However, whether or not to go to the temple to make incense, it is the evening of Sunday, and after the stars are out in the sky, every family will hold a ceremony to worship the stars.

Activities of the day

On the day of the Valley Day, the whole family came to the countryside and the adults introduced the basic agricultural knowledge to the children, and the whole family watched the growth of various overwintering crops, so that the children and adults could get close to the farmland together and help the children to establish the consciousness of respecting agriculture, farmers and cherishing food. In the process of experience, at the same time, children are inspired to care for the ecological environment.

Children make a cereal dinner for the whole family, such as making steamed bread with flour, making noodles, steaming rice with rice and cooking porridge with hands. Adults only give necessary guidance, not replace it. In this way, children can truly understand the preciousness of food, understand the hardships of labor and experience the happiness of labor.

The pace of city life is very fast, so it is rare for people to get close to nature once. It is suggested that the whole family go to the flower market to buy some ornamental crops and cultivate them at home on the Valley Day, and take good care of these "crops" all year round.
