Legends related to traditional festivals 1

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chinese people have the custom of eating Laba porridge. It is said that Laba porridge came from India. Sakyamuni, a Buddhist, was originally the son of King Sudoku, who lived in the northern part of ancient India (present-day Nepal). He saw that all beings were suffering from physical illness and death, and he was dissatisfied with the theocratic rule of the Brahmins at that time, giving up the throne and becoming a monk. After six years of asceticism, he became a Buddha under the bodhi tree on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. During these six years of asceticism, I only ate one hemp and one meter a day. Later generations did not forget his sufferings and ate porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year as a souvenir. "Laba" became the "Buddha's Inauguration Day".

"Laba" is a grand festival of Buddhism. Before liberation, Buddhist temples all over the country held Buddhist bathing meetings and chanted scriptures, and imitated the legendary story of a shepherdess offering chyle before Sakyamuni became a Taoist, and cooked porridge with fragrant valleys and fruits for the Buddha. Laba porridge was presented to disciples and good men and women, and it became a custom among the people in the future. It is said that in some monasteries, before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, monks held alms bowls along the street and cooked the collected rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts and other materials into Laba porridge and distributed it to the poor. Legend has it that you can get the blessing of Buddha after eating it, so the poor call it "Buddha porridge" In addition, it is said that there is a "stack rice building" for storing leftovers in Tianning Temple, a famous temple in Hangzhou. Usually, monks dry the leftovers every day, accumulate a year's surplus food, and cook them into Laba porridge for believers on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is called "Fushou porridge" and "Fude porridge", meaning that they can increase their happiness and longevity after eating them.

There is also a legend of Laba porridge. When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, his family was poor, and he often suffered from cooking breaks. One day, when he came back from herding cattle and was hungry, he suddenly saw a rat hole in the corner. He wanted to catch rats to satisfy his hunger, but unexpectedly he took out glutinous rice, millet, soybeans, red beans, wheat grains and peanuts. He washed these miscellaneous grains, cooked them into porridge and had a full meal. Later, he became an emperor, eating delicacies all day, and he was bored with eating. Suddenly, he remembered the past when he was a child, and ordered people to imitate it, and all the ministers tasted it, which was wonderful. Because this day is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Yuanzhang called this porridge Laba porridge. Later, when it spread to the people, it followed suit.

Legends and stories related to traditional festivals II

Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival in China. Because August 15th is in the middle of autumn, it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival features eating moon cakes and carrying lanterns.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, like the Lunar New Year, is a happy family. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is the roundest and brightest, and the moonlight is the most beautiful. Every household puts melons, fruits, moon cakes and other foods on the table in the courtyard, and the family eats moon cakes while enjoying the moon. It is precisely "a round in the sky is held out, and everyone in the world looks up". What a beautiful picture.

The traditional food of Mid-Autumn Festival is moon cakes, which are round and symbolize reunion, reflecting people's good wishes for family reunion. Eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival is said to have started in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang led the Han people to resist the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, and agreed to revolt on August 15th, and put notes in the moon cakes to convey the news. The custom of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival spread among the people.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang finally made Yuan Dynasty _, the first emperor of Ming Dynasty. Although Manchu people came to China later, people still celebrated this festival symbolizing alien rule.

The Mid-Autumn Festival used to be a bumper family. In the agricultural society of China, farmers always celebrate with great events during the harvest season. The reason why this family became a festival is also related to the beautiful myth of "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon".

According to legend, in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky, which made the earth smoke and the sea water dried up, making it impossible for ordinary people to live any longer. This incident alarmed a hero named Hou Yi. He climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, hiked the divine power, drew the bow of God, and set off nine redundant suns in one breath to save the people from the fire and water. Soon, Hou Yi married a beautiful wife named Chang 'e.

One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek the Tao. He happened to meet the Queen Mother who passed by, and asked her for a pack of immortal medicine. It is said that after taking this medicine, he could immediately ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife and had to give the immortal medicine to Chang 'e for collection.

Unexpectedly, this incident was seen by Peng Meng, a doorman of Hou Yi. When Peng Meng and other Hou Yi went out, they threatened Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Knowing that Chang 'e was no match for Peng Meng, he made a decisive decision in an emergency and took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. After Chang 'e swallowed the medicine, her body immediately flew off the ground and flew to the sky. Because Chang 'e was concerned about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.

When Hou Yi came back, the maids cried everything. Grieving, she looked up at the night sky and called her wife's name. At this time, she was surprised to find that the moon was particularly round and bright tonight, and there was a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. Hou Yi ordered people to put on a table of incense, put on Chang 'e's favorite honey and fresh fruit, and offer a remote sacrifice to Chang 'e in the moon palace. When people heard of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's immortal Xiao Xi, they put incense tables on the hem of the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang Jiu. Since then, the custom of Yue Bai in Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

Legends and stories related to traditional festivals 3

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jin Xiangong's concubine, Li Ji, set a poisonous plot against Prince Shen Sheng in order to make her son Xi Qi succeed to the throne, and Shen Sheng was forced to commit suicide. Shen Sheng's younger brother, Zhong Er, fled into exile to escape the scourge. During his exile, Zhong Er suffered humiliation. Originally, most of the courtiers who went out with him went out one after another. There are only a few loyal people who have been following him. One of them is called meson push. On one occasion, Zhong Er fainted from hunger. In order to save Zhong Er, Jiezitui cut a piece of meat from his leg, cooked it with fire and gave it to Zhong Er to eat. Nineteen years later, Zhong Er returned to China and became a monarch, namely Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After Jin Wengong came to power, he raised a lot of rewards for those courtiers who share the joys and sorrows with him, except for the meson push. Someone pleaded for mesons in front of Jin Wengong. Jin Wengong suddenly remembered the past, feeling guilty, and immediately sent someone to ask meson to take the court to be rewarded as an official. However, after several trips, the meson could not be pushed. Jin Wengong had to go to please. However, when Jin Wengong came to the meson pusher's house, he saw the door closed. Jiezitui didn't want to see him, and had already hid in Mianshan (now southeast of Jiexiu County, Shanxi Province) with his mother on his back. Jin Wengong asked his body-guard to search Mianshan, but he couldn't find it. So, someone had an idea, saying, it's better to set Yamakaji free, set fire on three sides, and leave one side behind, and mesons will come out by themselves when the fire starts. Jin Wengong ordered Yamakaji to be promoted. Unexpectedly, the fire burned for three days and three nights. After the fire was extinguished, mesons were not pushed out after all. Looking up the mountain, the mother and the son were holding a charred willow tree and were dead. Jin Wengong looked at meson push's body and wept for a while. Then he buried the body and found that meson push's back was blocked with a willow tree hole, which seemed to have something. Pulled out a look, turned out to be a piece of skirt, with a blood poem on it:

I hope your master will always be clear.

It's better to be a ghost without seeing it, than to accompany you as a remonstrator.

If your master has me in his heart, remember my frequent introspection.

I have a clear conscience in Jiuquan, and I am diligent and clear.

Jin Wengong hid the letters written in blood in his sleeve. Then meson tui and his mother were buried under the charred willow tree. To commemorate Jietui, Jin Wengong ordered Mianshan to be changed to "Jieshan", and an ancestral temple was built on the mountain, and the day when Yamakaji was released was designated as the Cold Food Festival, telling the whole country that fireworks were forbidden on this day every year, and only cold food was eaten.

When he left, he cut a section of charred willow and made a pair of clogs in the palace. He looked at it every day and sighed, "What a pity." "The first step" is the name of the ancient people's subordinates to respect each other between their superiors or peers, which is said to come from this.

In the second year, Jin Wengong led his ministers and went hiking in plain clothes to pay homage and express his condolences. Walking to the grave, I saw the dead old willow tree resurrected, with thousands of green branches, dancing in the wind. Jin Wengong looked at the resurrected old willow as if he had seen a meson push. He walked up to him respectfully, pinched a branch lovingly, braided a circle and put it on his head. After the sacrifice, Jin Wengong named the resurrected old willow "Qingming Willow" and named it Tomb-Sweeping Day.

In the future, Jin Wengong often wore letters around him as a memorial to spur him to be in power. He is diligent and clear-cut, makes great efforts to govern the country well.

Since then, the people of the state of Jin have been able to live and work in peace and contentment, and they are very nostalgic for meson Tui, who has made meritorious deeds and is not seeking wealth. On the day of his death, fireworks are forbidden to commemorate him. It is also made of flour and jujube paste, kneaded into the shape of a swallow, strung together with willow sticks, inserted in the door, and summoned his soul. This thing is called "pushing the swallow" (also called the push of the intermediary). Since then, cold food and Qingming have become grand festivals for people all over the country. Whenever there is cold food, people don't make a fire to cook, but only eat cold food. In the north, people only eat cold food prepared in advance, such as jujube cakes and wheat cakes. In the south, it is mostly green balls and glutinous rice sugar lotus roots. Every Qingming Festival, people put wicker into a circle and put wicker branches in front of and behind the house to show their nostalgia.

Legends and stories related to traditional festivals 4

The traditional culture of China is brilliant, including painting, paper-cutting, folk arts and crafts, but what I like best is the legend of setting off fireworks on the Lantern Festival.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a god bird got lost and landed on earth, but was accidentally shot dead by an unsuspecting hunter. The Emperor of Heaven was very angry when he learned about it, so he ordered the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the world on the fifteenth day of the first month and burn all mankind to death. The daughter of the Emperor of Heaven is kind-hearted, and can't bear to see the innocent suffering of the people, so she risked her life and told the people the news.

When they heard the news, it was like a jolt on their heads. I'm too scared to know what to do. It was a long time before an old man came up with an idea. He said, "On the 14th, 15th and 16th of the first month, every family hangs red lanterns, lights firecrackers and sets off fireworks at home. In this way, the emperor of heaven will think that people have been burned to death. " Everyone nodded and said yes, so they were ready to go separately. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, the mountain soldiers looked down and found that there was a red light in the world, thinking it was the flame of a big fire, and told the Emperor of Heaven not to set fire to the earth. People thus saved their lives and property. In order to commemorate this success, every household hangs lanterns and sets off fireworks to commemorate this day on the fifteenth day of the first month.

The legend of traditional festivals is the essence of Chinese traditional culture. We should let more people know about it and carry it forward.

Legends and stories related to traditional festivals 5

Legend has it that a long time ago, the weather was good and the crops were plentiful, and the people had plenty of food and clothing and lived and worked in peace.

Sudden disaster arrival, flooding in the city, drought in the fields outside the city, it turned out that the Queen Mother invited the Jade Emperor to dinner, and the Jade Emperor was as drunk as a fiddler. After the banquet, there was room to go back to the palace to handle affairs, so the rain book was written wrong. It should have been five points for the rain outside the city and three points for the rain inside the city, but the Jade Emperor wrote it backwards. Knowing the reason, Qinglong sneaked into the Heavenly Palace and changed the rain book, so that the world slowly recovered its true colors. When the Jade Emperor woke up, he also found that he had written a wrong rain book, but he wanted to correct it, but he was afraid that the etiquette would say that he was not careful, so he had to make a mistake.

Later, when the Jade Emperor found that his rain book had been changed, he was furious and sent the Prime Minister to earth to kill Qinglong. The Prime Minister did so. After being killed by the Prime Minister, Qinglong became a god bird, and cried out outside the Jade Emperor's Hall. The Jade Emperor felt ashamed, so he wrote a book to ask the Yellow Emperor to send an order to the people to commemorate Qinglong, who had saved the people. This day is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Every Spring Festival, people beat gongs and drums, play with dragons and lions for several years, and celebrate the Lantern Festival.
