February14th Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day. Originated in ancient Rome, it is held on February 4th every year, and now it has become a favorite festival for young people in Europe and America. In ancient Rome, the lives of young people and girls were strictly separated. However, on Lupsala Festival, boys can choose the name of a girl they love and carve it on a vase. In this way, during the festival, the young man can dance with the girl of his choice to celebrate the festival. If the selected girl is interested in the boy, they can always be paired, and eventually they will fall in love and get married together in church. For this reason, later generations designated February 14th as Valentine's Day. In the west, Valentine's Day is not only the best time to express affection, but also the best time to propose to one's beloved. At this point, Valentine's Day reflects the original intention of the ancient Romans in designing this festival.
Dragon Head Festival on the first day of the second lunar month
According to legend, the second day of the second lunar month is the day when the dragon looks up, which is called "Dragon Head Festival" and is one of the traditional rural festivals in China. In ancient times, people thought that dragons slept underground in winter, and walked in the sky from the vernal equinox to the autumnal equinox. On February 2nd of the lunar calendar, around the vernal equinox, dormant animals in winter began to wake up. People commemorate this day, hoping for a good harvest with good weather. In my hometown, there is a proverb: "On February 2, the dragon looks up, the big hoard is full, and the small hoard is flowing." In the early morning of the Dragon's Head Festival, every household draws barns in the threshing floor or yard. This was done by the elders. Some of them used kitchen ashes and some used chaff, and scattered (painted) them into the yard one by one. First, they drew a sharp barn top, then a bulging barn belly, and finally painted the barn door. Some of them also scattered ashes outside the barn door into a ladder shape, and the size of the whole barn was about a city foot. After painting, grab some whole grains and put them in the barn, and finally cover them with boards to prevent chickens and birds from eating. The custom of painting a barn is to pray for a bumper harvest of grain and food for Man Cang in the new year.
Festival Flower Arrangement Festival on the eighth day of the second lunar month
Traditional festivals of Yi people in Dayao County, Yunnan Province. It is held on the eighth day of the second lunar month every year for 3 days. It is a festival to commemorate a pair of young Yi men and women. Legend has it that Miyinu, a hardworking, brave, beautiful and clever Yi girl, was besieged by a jackal while herding sheep on the mountain in Tanhua Mountain, Dayao in ancient times. The young hunter Charleroi killed the jackal and saved the sheep. Miyi angrily picked a white cherry blossom and gave it to Charleroi, and then they fell in love. However, in order to occupy Miyinu, the brutal local officials in Tanhua Mountain built a "fairy garden", falsely claiming that all the girls sent there would be killed. In order to save these girls, Miinu collected poisonous white flowers and put them on her head on the eighth day of February, and soaked some white flowers in wine, cleverly persuading the local officials to drink them. The local officials think Miyinu has changed his mind and wants to drink with Miyinu. Miyinu drank poisonous wine and gave his life to save the people. When Charleroi came back from hunting, he chased him to the "Fairy Garden" and found only Miinu's body. He wept bitterly with the dead girl in his arms, and dried up his tears, until his eyes shed blood and dyed azaleas red. In order to commemorate the girl who died bravely, the Yi people in Tanhua Mountain regard the red azaleas as auspicious symbols. On the eighth day of February every year, thousands of people gather in Tanhua Mountain to pick azaleas blooming all over the mountain and plant them in the corners of fields, houses and cowsheds, praying for a bumper harvest of grain and prosperity of six livestock. Young lovers put flowers in their heads to express their faithful love, sing and dance all night in the mountains, bring food and firewood, and enjoy their activities for 3 days before they leave. In recent years, this festival has increased business activities.

April 1st April Fool's Day
April Fool's Day, also known as Fool's Day, is a traditional American festival, which falls on April 1st every year.
April Fool's Day has appeared for hundreds of years, and there are different opinions about its origin. One view is that this custom originated from India's "Interpretation Festival". This section stipulates that every year on March 31st, regardless of age, men, women and children, they can play jokes on each other and fool each other for entertainment. The more common saying is that it originated in France. In 1564, French King Charles IX decided to adopt a new method of chronology-Gregorian calendar, with January 1st as the beginning of the year, which changed the previous calendar with April 1st as the beginning of the New Year. During the implementation of the new calendar, many stubborn conservatives in various places still followed the old calendar and refused to update it. They still give gifts to each other and organize activities to celebrate the New Year on April 1st. People who support the new law make a great mockery of this perverse move. On April 1st, they gave fake gifts to the die-hards, invited them to a fake celebration, and called these fooled people "April fools" and "fish in the bait". Later, they fooled each other on this day, and it became a custom over time. The festival spread to Britain in the 18th century, and was later brought to the United States by British immigrants. At first, any American can concoct shocking news without any moral and legal responsibility, and the government and judicial departments will not pursue it. On the contrary, whoever fabricates the most bizarre lies and can deceive people most will win the championship. This practice has brought a lot of confusion to the society, thus causing people's dissatisfaction. Now, people? Fooling and cheating during the festival is no longer as outrageous as it used to be, but for the purpose of relaxation and joy.

Among them, "Duan" means the beginning, "noon" means the intersection of yin and yang, and "Yang" is an odd number; According to the calculation of the earthly branch, the ancients wrote "noon month" in May, regarded double noon as "heavy noon", wrote "Dragon Boat Festival" on the fifth day, and wrote "Yangchen" at noon, and added many stories and legends, so there were many different festival names and customs, such as hanging Zhong Kui statues, posting afternoon leaves and hanging calamus and wormwood on the Dragon Boat Festival; Drinking realgar wine, calamus wine, children painting realgar, dragon boat races, contests, eating salted eggs and zongzi, etc.
Festival Poet's Day on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month
Poet's Day has two meanings: one is to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan, and the other is to inspire today's literati. For the former, it goes without saying that Qu Yuan's lofty personality and great works are the glory of the nation. For the latter, there are two points that should be explained: (1) "poet" and "scholar" seem to be different, but broadly speaking, all literary and artistic works that belong to creative imagination can be called poems; Similarly, anyone who is noble, creative and imaginative can be called a poet, so the poet's day is really a literary festival, and there is no need for dramatist's day, novelist's day and essayist's day. Shakespeare is famous for his plays, and Tolstoy is famous for his novels. Both of them are called poets and deserve it. Those who govern drama and novels today, based on their strengths, strive for progress, although not for poetry, the quality of poetry is solid; If the blood column is full of blood, it is reluctant to show its shortcomings for poetry, and it is just a false reputation. It is to buy a coffin and return the pearl. (2) The so-called poet is not a poet who knows a little about his skills. Poets must show something in literature and art, and they must be matched with poetry as a person. Poetry shows justice, understands truth and expresses emotion, so poets should have a sense of justice, the courage to sacrifice for truth and the deepest affection to support their words. If poetry is noble and upright between heaven and earth, the poet is also the noble and upright residence. If you call yourself a poet only by arranging flat lines and playing with words, you will not be a poem and become an adult. What kind of poet can you be? Some people here are not a rhyme for life, but bright and upright, bold and noble, and have the temperament of a poet, that is, a poet. On the contrary, he is a narrow-minded person, but he writes lyrics all day long to hunt for fame or to do business. He is a poet and a peddler, not a poet. Here, the initiation of the Poets' Festival is actually related to the whole society-the society of poetry does not need everyone to recite poems, but to be able to distinguish right from wrong, to meet each other honestly and to have a good fashion ear.
International Nurses' Day on May 12th
Ms. nightingale, an Englishman, was born in Italy on May 2nd, 1821. She had nursing skills as a teenager. In 1853, the Crimean War between Britain and Russia broke out, causing heavy casualties. In the 19th century, when medical technology was backward and nurses were in a low position, Nightingale was willing to give up the aristocratic life and resolutely devoted herself to the battlefield rescue work. She led nurses to work around the clock, which relieved a lot of pain for the wounded. After six months' efforts, the death rate of the wounded was reduced from 42% to 2%. Ms. Nightingale was the founder of modern nursing system, philanthropist and international. In 1883, the British royal family awarded her the Superclass Medal, giving her the highest honor. Nightingale died in 1911. In order to commemorate her outstanding contribution and nurse spirit, May 12th was designated as the International Nurses' Day. Nightingale Award is the highest honor award in the nursing profession.
Mother's Day (May 4th this year) is the second Sunday in May.
As early as more than 211 years ago, there was a festival in Britain to honor mothers, which was called "Mother's Sunday". In 1919, Ms. MissAnna Jarviz of the United States saw that the mothers and wives of many soldiers who died in the First World War were miserable, so she initiated Mother's Day to commemorate their mothers who suffered in the war. Later, the United States Senate passed that the day when Jarvis's mother died (the second Sunday in May, 1915) was designated as Mother's Day, and the carnation (also known as carnation) that Jarvis's mother loved before her death was taken as a symbol of maternal love. It is customary to wear a red carnation on Mother's Day gathering, and a white carnation on mother's death to show respect for mother. Later, after the implementation of Christianity, countries began to adopt it.
