Festival Introduction
  Festival is the world's peoples to adapt to the needs of production and living together to create a kind of folk culture, is the world an important part of folk culture. Reference to the origin of Chinese festivals, generally in the origin of festivals mainly in the following six areas:
  1. Calendar solar terms. China has always been based on agriculture, founded on agriculture. As early as 7000 years ago, primitive agriculture there have been North-South dividing line between the millet as the main north, south to rice-based. Agricultural production has a strong seasonal characteristics: spring, weed in summer, harvest, winter provisions, again and again, year after year. From ancient times, the Chinese ancestors had mastered the calendar reflects the characteristics of the knowledge of agricultural production. According to legend, ancient Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Xu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Lu six calendar, the Yin Ruins already in the Oracle Calendar Calendar, "Shang Shuyao Code" has the vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, winter solstice, the division of four solar terms, the development of the Warring States Period for the 24 solar terms. Ancient China has implemented over 100 kinds of calendars, of which (Chinese) was in the beginning calendar, (Don) Vision calendar (RMB) THE HISTORY, (next) Great Commission calendar, (Qing Dynasty), the constitution calendar, have special historical significance. The calendar according to the characteristics of climate change, the year is divided into 12 months, 24 solar terms, 72 candidates, about 365 days, which constitutes the basis for calculating Festivals. Calendar reflects the law of agricultural production, agricultural production on the guide played a positive role, but also for the production of Festivals provide the necessary prerequisite. Some holidays such as the beginning of spring, summer solstice, the beginning of autumn, the winter solstice, it is evolved directly from the solar terms. Festivals and calendar day of the close relationship between solar terms, but the solar term itself is not a festival calendar days, in addition to the minority, the only generated for the festival provides a premise, the formation of the festival must also have certain customs of its content.
  4. Worship. The most obvious example is the Ching Ming Festival, Ghost Festival, and warm clothing section. These three festivals to worship as the source was originally to do devil worship as the main Festival activities, so called three "Halloween." Ching Ming grave contains the memory of ancestors and descendants of the meaning of encouragement. Hungry Ghost Festival, also known as Obon, lanterns, save a solitary place according to the custom of offerings. Warm clothing when the people in the ancestral tomb festival incineration of paper clothes.
  6. Polytheism. China is a polytheistic faith countries, some myths, legends and historical figures have been gods to worship and sacrifice, and thus produced a series of large and small folk festival. God as the first birthday on January 5 Road; January 8 all stars down to earth, there are imperative year-old custom of offering star; January 20 days worth of festival, held in Beijing White Cloud Temple, Sky do wear on pancakes estates; January 20五日 warehouse birthday, worship God warehouse can store full of rich food security; February 1st birthday sun, worship the sun god; February 2 Rend day, but also the land of God birthday, the day of rain for the community Weng Yu; II Wenchang on the birth of three days, there Wenchang temple; February 12 Kao birthday, offering flowers God, the temple will have to spend; March 3 Polaris monarch's birthday; March 5 Yu birthday, there Yuwang temple; three May 六日, wheat king birthday, the day of harvest fine Michael; March 15 Dragon King Day, worship the Dragon King, a Dragon King Temple; March 28 Dongyuedadi birthday, there will Dongyue, Taishan temple; April 12 birthday snake, worship loafing, the rain is bad wheat; April 28 Medicine King's birthday, Sishen farmers will have Yaowang Temple; May 13 birthday of Guan Di, do not attend the meeting, said single pole at Guan Gong, the Royal temple; June 13 (some say May 7) Luban's birthday, wood and stone masons, etc. Si Lo Pan, Lo Pan will be held; June 23 Thunder birthday, Thunder worship; June 24 Erlang birth date, worship Erlang; July 7 Tanabata Festival, also known as Qi Qiao Festival, bridge meeting, honor the Legend of Love, the day of tears, said rain rain; August 5 Wanshou Festival, also known as St Day, worship the emperor birthday ; August 27th Christmas, the birth of Confucius, a Confucius temple; October 1st birthday cattle king of God, worship cattle king; December 23 Jizao Day, Ascension Day another name Zao Jun, the god of sacrifice. Second, at the age of the cultural festival is a dynamic factor, although a fixed festival time, but its content is in constant development and changes. Generally speaking, the development of Chinese festivals through five periods:
  7. Modern holiday there, mostly with the environment and human appear to adapt to daily life festival derived from a small number of people advocate, and later widely circulated. Such as the World Water Day, the time the eye day, 315 consumer protection festivals
  1. Pre occurrence period. To holiday customs, the many festivals elements have emerged as early as in ancient times the bud. Spread since the Spring Festival, Shangsi, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, the winter solstice holiday elements, pre-Qin era has been largely formed, but the festival was relatively small, content rich enough, time is not so fixed. Most of the original festival customs worship built on the basis of strong sense of faith. Meanwhile, the festival needs most is some precautions, contraindications days, such as the Spring Festival to avoid the mandrill evil spirits, cleanse already Xi, the Dragon Boat Dragon Boat Festival and so on.
  2. Han formation stage. Han Dynasty, China's major festivals such as New Year's Eve, New Year, Lantern Festival, Shangsi, Hanshi, Dragon Boat Festival, Tanabata, Chung Yeung and so on have the basic shape. On the one hand, a number of historical figures such as Qu Yuan, Jie have become some of the festival to commemorate the people, replacing the primitive worship and belief, and enhance the Festival of the human touch and realism; the other hand, the development of the Festival itself, some Custom rose to customs, some customs into customs, customs and customs integration, had been accepted and inherited convention. The formation of the reasons for this situation are: first, the Han Unification situation emerged, facilitating the integration of regional customs, cultural circle Chu Qin Dynasty, Sichuan cultural circle, Wu Yue cultural circle, Qilu cultural circle, Qin cultural circle, etc. the gradual integration of the Han dynasty, a strong national holiday customs regime played an important role in promoting unity. Second, stereotypes and then Han festival is closely related to the development of science, especially the "calendar was in the beginning," established the month as the beginning of the year to Yin Jian, breaking the original worship of pre-Qin era, for the holiday customs and injected new vigor and vitality. In addition, after the Han Dynasty established the status of Confucianism Domination, Confucian ethical concepts of the holiday customs also had a profound impact. Today, many holiday customs are mostly found in the Han Dynasty to its source.
  4. Tang peak. Song of socio-economic and cultural prosperity, and promote the festival and cultural development, and its main features are: Folk Festival from the mysterious atmosphere of superstitious taboos freed, to etiquette, entertaining direction, evolved into a truly auspicious day festival. Chinese New Year firecrackers exorcism was originally a means, became a symbol of joy; Lantern Festival lanterns ritual lights into a fun activity; into a full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival; Chung Yeung Festival evolved from the climbing disaster prevention Fall Camp Shangju. The evolution of the holiday customs, also added a number of cultural and recreational activities such as kite flying, tug of war and so on. More content rich and colorful festival, the festival folk activity to its peak.
  1. Agricultural culture. Festivals in China, as the seasons change and the need for crop arrangements, and gradually formed a series of colorful Festival activities, the performance of the distinct cultural characteristics of agriculture, this Festival from the following activities can be seen. Stand before and after New Year's Day New Year and see situation, accounting for weather, forecast abundance due to age. February Jingzhe festival comes, people have to prevent pests, total pre-harvest practices. On Tomb Sweeping Day, Guyu good before and after the sowing season is spring, and many festivals such as silkworm month (small Ching Ming), section hikers, Yu birthday, Jimmy King Birthday, Dragon Festival, Qingming Festival and other related activities and pray for good harvest. On Festival in April beginning of summer activities are mostly carried out around all over the production features. May the beginning of summer, all kinds of disasters, more commonly known as the "bad months", the Festival activities more with the prevention, pesticides and related. Many parts of the summer solstice "festival Tin woman", pick the new Google recommended ancestral customs. Hot dog day in June coincided with the season, easy to dye diseases, so many customs emphasis on summer activities Summer resistance, contains the meaning of love productivity. Kuang-day festival on June 6, many local farmers to protect the farming valley to worship God. Qi Qiao Festival July 7, myths and legends from the cowherd women Qi Qiao practices evolved to reflect the farming men and women weave of economic life. August is the harvest season of the year, farmers with a new Google reward ancestors and household gods. Mid-Autumn Festival moon, worship, tours Gui, a celebration of harvest practices. Seasonal frost in September, the arrival of the production is good or bad relationships, looking around the barometer that day, accounting for harvest customs. Oct. 1, some cattle farmers celebrate the King birthday, Guangdong has not worn rope on the cow "let free" custom, which is the occasion of slack to reward the performance of cattle, in fact, the ancient custom of totem worship cattle legacy. November "as large as in winter," the custom of farmers to see the snow, called "In the snow, Hong Jie You snow." Snow can be frozen to kill insect pests in the coming year Nim agricultural abundance. Saying, "winter snow is the wheat to be", which means that this is it.
  2. Pay attention to manners, customs and rituals combined. When the advent of major festivals, people should worship their ancestors and to express the memory of their ancestors. Such as the Spring Festival, dedicated to the ancestral tablets, Cold Food, Ching Ming grave, to treat the dead, "dead matter, such as health," the ceremony of ancestor worship festival to get in the embodiment. Qingming sweep originally folklore, Emperor Ritual to include into the rituals. Lantern Festival lanterns after the formation of customs from the Han Dynasty, Zhang ages have to lights, lanterns are a major event. Feudal rulers of the holiday customs of the advocacy, the customs rose to customs, to educate the people of manners, to accelerate the spread and development of the holiday, but also the festival into the orbit of the feudal ethical code.
  3. The unity of inheritance and variability. Chinese festivals with the folk cultural heritage and variability of the general characteristics. Festival, once formed, will have a relative independence and stability and handed down from generation to generation. While sometimes a change in social conditions, but still retain the ancient custom of the shadow, which is an important holiday tradition of performance. Festivals in China several thousand years of agriculture is rooted in culture, folk festivals have been handed down many of the history of more than 2000, many of which custom is handed down from ancient times, has also accepted, demonstrated strong vitality . Of course, this does not mean the holiday custom is immutable, on the contrary, as the socio-economic and cultural conditions change, the festival will continue to change customs, and some were eliminated, some were updated, the overall trend is positive factors dominant position, behind the stereotypes continue to be eliminated. If before the Han Dynasty has been Festival Xi cleanse customs, Wei became a picnic after the event. In short, cultural heritage festival in the Chinese variation, variation in development, inheritance and variation of unity is a distinctive feature of Chinese festivals.
  4. National and regional. China is a Han Chinese as the main multi-ethnic, traditional festivals such as Han Chinese Spring Festival, Tomb Sweeping Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., in other ethnic areas are generally popular. At the same time, Han is also integrated into the festive customs of other nations, such as the Lunar New Year lantern pole _set_ in the hospital, is shot by the ritual of the Manchu. Many of the fun holiday activities, such as swing, stilts, riding and shooting and acrobatics, the original customs of all ethnic minorities. In addition, the history of the ethnic and cultural differences, which show distinct cultural festival National and regional characteristics. In addition to Han Chinese festivals, other minorities have their own traditional festivals, such as Mongolian, "the Festival is" Korean "Festival for the Elderly," Dai's "Splash", Xibe the "Westward Movement Festival", Yi, Bai, Naxi, Blang, "Torch Festival", Tujia "July will be", Gaoshan's "Harvest Festival" and so on. The festival has its special meaning and customs, with the Han Chinese family holiday together constitute the traditional festival. Chinese festivals such cross-national, regional characteristics, is the history of customs and exchange of national holidays, the result of integration is actually a regional economic and cultural exchanges of the results. In this wide-ranging exchange, integration process, the Chinese traditional culture has a wide range of inclusive, so the Chinese have a strong cohesion, which is descendants living abroad, "loved ones during the festive season," an important reason.
