Hakka custom of Tianchuan Festival
Pancakes "fill the sky", pierce the sky and pierce the sweet fruit.

1. Pancakes are worn in the sky, in the sky on the 20th, and in the ground on the 2nd1day. The weather is similar to rain. In order to pray to God that "there is no leakage in the house on rainy days", Han people tie pancakes with red silk thread every day and throw them on the roof, which means "patching up the leak" or "patching up the leak". It means praying for good weather, and it is also an imitation of the goddess mending the sky. In some places, pancakes are torn into small pieces and thrown into the sky on this day, which means mending the sky, and some are scattered on the ground, which means mending the land.

2. In ancient times, there was a custom of holding archery activities in the suburbs during festivals. Some people think that this also implies the meaning of inheriting the great achievements of Nu Wa in slaying the black dragon, breaking her feet and saving the people from fire and water with force. In Yang Shen's Tong Pin in the Ming Dynasty, there is a word called Moshan Drama, which was written by Ge, a poet in the Song Dynasty, when he described the archery activities in the suburbs of Tianchuan Festival: the spring breeze is in the wild and the egg-colored sky is like water. Fish play and dance, and like to listen to the new sounds in the north. Chasing the wind and feet, thousands of people ride high doors, an arrow passes by, thousands of people shout, and the geese fall cold. The day has passed, and the name has passed. Cross the stone, clear the waves, follow the competition and have a happy New Year. Who pity Lao Tzu, let him wander vertically, scrambling to start work, carrying his shoulders, and driving tourists drunk.

3. Hakka women in Lingnan, Fujian, Taiwan Province and other places make candied fruit into a big round block on this day, fry it in oil, and then stick needles in it, which also means "mending the sky".
