The next year's festival ,
A festival that is gradually forgotten.
The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar,
is the ancient Lower Yuan Festival in China.
Chinese people pay attention to the three-dimensional unity of "heaven, earth, and man".

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan lunar day,
Day official Tang Yao blessed;
July 15th, Zhongyuan Festival ,
Earth Official Yu Shun pardoned sins,
October 15th, the next Yuan Festival,
is the water official Dayu to resolve the troubles.
The upper and middle Yuan sections are many people who know about it,
and the lower Yuan section, but
is gradually being forgotten.
The origin of the lower Yuan Festival
is related to Taoist
"Chinese Customs" says:
October is the lower Yuan Festival. It is said that the water palace can relieve the misfortune, and there are also people who hold fast and recite scriptures.
"Dream of Lianglu" by Wu Zimu of the Song Dynasty:
(October) on the fifteenth day of the water officials' resolving disasters, the palace and the common people set up a vegetarian and ritual, or they may resolving disasters, or they may recommend them to die.
The name "Xiayuan" originates from Taoism.
Taoism worships the three gods of heaven, earth and water, and is called three officials . The births of these three officials are the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of the seventh month and the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, so these three days are called the Shangyuan Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival and the Xiayuan Festival.
Sanyuan Festival " is related to Taoism. Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xiayuan Festival are the days when the heavenly officials, earthly officials and water officials lower realms respectively. Heavenly officials are the Ziwei Emperor, the earthly officials are the Qingxu Emperor, and the water officials are the Emperor Yanggu. It is also said that the three officials are the three emperors of ancient times "Yao, Shun and Yu". The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the blessing of the heavenly officials, the fifteenth day of the seventh day is the earthly officials to forgive the sins, and the fifteenth day of the tenth day of the tenth day is the water officials to relieve the misfortune, because these three days are the birthdays of the three officials.
Of course, this is just a belief of later generations. The original heavenly officials, earthly officials and water officials are not a single individual, but a department or official position. For example, it is divided into "The Literature of Zhou". : The sky, earth and the six officials in spring, summer, autumn and winter are official positions, and later developed into six departments including the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, etc.
10th lunar month is the 15th day of the lunar month is the Xiayuan Festival, which is also the day when the water officials resolve the disaster. As the saying goes, "On October half, the three officials of Qianlong Tuanzizhai" means that every October fifteenth day, people use newly harvested rice to make small dumplings, wrapped in vegetarian dishes, used to worship the three officials, and pray to the Xiayuan Water Official to relieve people's worries and problems. Therefore, the Xiayuan Festival is a day of blessing.
October fifteenth day is the birthday of the "water official". Legend has it that on this day, the "water official" Dayu will come to the world to inspect the good and evil in the world.
One day, he listened to the sufferings of the world, classified the sad, sad, difficult and sad things in turn, and recorded the heavenly court to relieve the troubles of others.
On this day, the Taoist temple will set up an altar for vegetarian food and dip it in the gods, use flowers and vegetarian fruits, pray devoutly, and use his divine power to seek blessings and avoid disasters for the world.
Not only that, the ancients also bathed and changed their clothes before the sacrifice, did not drink alcohol, did not eat meat, clean themselves, and showed sincerity and respect.

Not only that, the Xiayuan Festival also incorporates many sacrificial customs in agricultural production, making it a farm festival that sacrifices gods, prays for disasters and harvests.
In the area of Putian, Fujian Province, in the evening of the Xiayuan period, every household would sacrifice to the water god in the fields, praying for the nourishment of the crops in the dry winter and the safe winter of crops.

Lower Yuan Festival
Last moon festival
According to the Chinese calendar, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is the last th month festival of the year .
Chinese people have had the belief in respecting ancestors since ancient times, and when the moon is full, they must also carry out the most important ancestor worship activities.
People will burn "gold and silver bags" to worship their ancestors, fold red and green paper into fairy clothes, fold tin foil into silver ingots , put them into a bag of white paper paste, and write on the front: "Jinyan Mingbao a letter, colorful clothes on one body to offer someone to accept it", and the next book is: "Since the descendants and grandchildren a hundred bows", and write on the back: "State the day of a certain year, month and day", burn it after bowing, and send it to the deceased relatives.
If the ancestors received the "gold and silver bag", it means that there are still people in this world who are thinking about him, and the remembered undead will not disappear.
We enshrine the tablets and portraits of our ancestors, and recall everything about him in our minds. It seems that on such days, as long as we miss each other, it is like we will never be separated.
The second year is the last moon festival of the year and the last farewell to a deceased relative in the year. The moon is full as day, but people are separated by yin and yang. Fortunately, the memory is still there, and death is not the end.
Some people say that
people will die three times in their lives,
The first time is when they die, this is in the physiological sense;
The second time is when they hold a funeral, the identity is erased from society;
The third time is to be forgotten by the last person in the world who commemorates you,
At this time, the real death is,
Because no one knows you anymore,
has been to this world. This is true for
people, and the same is true for
traditional festivals.
The next year is nostalgia, gratitude, blessing, and hope. Only by not forgetting the past can we face the future.
Each of us,
needs to learn to say goodbye. Festivals like
should not be forgotten.

The term "Sanyuan" comes from ancient Taoism, and the Sanyuan Festival was found in , the Han Dynasty, . The heavenly official, the earthly official, and the water official are called the nine qi of the upper Yuan (pronunciation of the same qi, referring to a mysterious energy, the same below) to bless the heavenly official, the seven qi of the middle Yuan forgives the sins of the earthly official, and the five qi of the lower Yuan relieves the troubles of the water official.

4 On Yuan Festival
On Yuan Festival, that is, the Lantern Festival where families in the north reunite and families in the south eat dumplings together and every household in the south eat dumplings together.
The main god worshipped by the Han Dynasty was the Emperor of Heaven "Taiyi". Emperor Wu of Han built Taiyi Temple Altar in Ganquan Palace . Every year on Xin night of the first lunar month, he would worship "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace. This is regarded by later generations as the forerunner of sacrificing the gods in the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At this time, it was just a royal sacrificial activity.
Shangyuan Festival is a folk festival after the introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since Emperor Ming of Han believed in Buddhism and followed Cai Yan's advice, he ordered that he "burn lamps to represent Buddha" in the palace every night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. From then on, the people followed suit and lighted lamps to worship Buddha.
Xin Qiji "Qingyu Case·Yuanxi" can be seen in the grand occasion of the Shangyuan Festival:
The east wind blooms thousands of flowers and trees at night.
is blown down, and the stars are like rain.
BMW carving car is full of fragrance.
The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance overnight.
Moths willow golden wisps.
smiles and fragrance go away.
He is searching for him thousands of times in the crowd.
When I looked back suddenly, the man was there, in the dim lights.
Because the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first full moon night of each year and the last day of the "New Year", later, the custom of eating dumplings and dumplings was gradually integrated. The custom of enjoying lanterns provided unmarried men and women with the opportunity to date. Therefore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month also has the connotation of Chinese Valentine's Day .
According to Chinese folk tradition, on this night when the moon is hanging high in the sky, people should light thousands of colorful lanterns to celebrate . Go out to enjoy the moon, burn the lights and set off the flames, guess riddles, eat Lantern Festival together, reunite with your family, celebrate the festival together, and have a happy time. Of course, on this special festival, people will also guess riddles and play river lanterns to wish you happiness this year.

中国中国, it originated from the natural belief in ancient China, the etiquette of the emperor's sacrifice to heaven, earth and water. Later, the activities of worshiping ancestors in late summer and early autumn came from top to bottom, from the emperor to the princes, from the princes to the people.
At first, the date of sacrifice was not determined, but later it gradually fixed around July 15th, usually the first full moon after the beginning of autumn, and the new yin of autumn comes.
July is the auspicious month and the filial piety month. The half-July is a festival for folks to celebrate the harvest and reward the earth in early autumn. There are several crops ripe. The people should worship their ancestors as usual, and offer sacrifices to their ancestors with new rice and other offerings, and report the autumn completion to their ancestors. This festival is a cultural traditional festival that celebrates ancestors, and its cultural core is to respect the ancestors and fulfill filial piety.
"July 3" was originally the ancestor worship festival in ancient times, and it was called "Zhongyuan Festival", which originated from Taoism after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Buddhism calls July half a month " Ullambana Festival ". In a sense, the Ancestor Festival in the middle of July belongs to folk secular world, the Zhongyuan Festival belongs to Taoism, and the Ullambana Festival belongs to Buddhism.
Mid-Autumn Festival is the hope of the world, sent to the blue sky.
and Zhongyuan, Zhongyuan belongs to the Yellow Spring, another degree of space.

Finally, it is the birth day of the Taoist "The Emperor of Water Officials Jie Eryang Valley". This day is the annual work report day for the water official. He will record the heavenly court based on his investigation of the world and resolve troubles for others.

The fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month is the "Xiayuan Festival". Legend has it that this festival is the birth day of the Taoist "water officials". On this day, Taoist temples often serve as temples to save the dead. Later it evolved into a day when people worshiped ancestors and remembered ancestors.
Due to the characteristics of late autumn climate, people have caused psychological changes and they need to communicate emotions with their ancestors for comfort. At the same time, autumn is the season of harvest. In order to thank our ancestors, people chose to worship their ancestors on the Xiayuan Festival. Therefore, the Xiayuan Festival gradually became a festival that expresses folk emotions.
On this day, he listened to the sufferings of the world, classified the sad, sad, difficult and sad things in turn, and recorded them in the heavenly court to resolve troubles.
In the Xiayuan Festival, Taoist temples have activities to hold temples and maintain peace.Later, the Xiayuan Festival gradually became a day for worshipping ancestors among the people. On this day, people would burn paper for their deceased ancestors to express their longing for their elders.
includes the Xiayuan Festival. No matter which folk festival is, people burn paper on the street to sacrifice, it is actually neither safe nor hygienic, and it is not enough to express their longing for their ancestors. "The old customs should indeed be adjusted.
The author advocates that the food customs of the Xiayuan Festival should be inherited and continued to be carried forward, because most traditional Chinese festivals have the connotation of the food festival, and seasonal food is also an important carrier for cultural heritage; and . The forms of customs such as practicing vegetarian food, ceremonies, worshiping ancestors, and worshiping the furnace gods, should be simplified.
. The most valuable cultural connotation is "eliminating disasters and disasters". Although it originates from the Taoist three-yuan theory, life is bound to be troubled by difficulties and adversity. Through the concept of "eliminating disasters and disasters", a set of methodologies for people to deal with difficulties will be developed, and a knowledge-based and competent methodologies are provided from the aspects of understanding, mentality, beliefs, specific measures, etc.
The evolution of the年号年号 actually meets the emotional life needs of the ancients to remember their ancestors. We must start from the perspective of truly understanding the people and respecting traditions, and slowly combine them with the lifestyles of today's people, so that the beneficial parts of the folk tradition in this festival can be passed on through positive ways.
