1 Spring Festival
Time: the first day of the first lunar month
Introduction: In rural Liaoning, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, every household began to prepare new year's goods, make rice cakes and steam sticky bean bags. Many people also kill pigs to treat guests and invite their neighbors, relatives and friends to hold banquets. After eating and drinking enough, the enthusiastic host will also give the brewed blood sausage to the guests to take home. The children will try their best to help at home these days, but the married daughter can't spend the New Year at her parents' house, otherwise this year will be very bad for her parents' brothers. This is what the so-called "don't look at the bride's lamp" means on New Year's Eve. Of course, this custom with feudal superstition has been gradually forgotten by people with the progress of society and the changes of the times. Many Liaoning people live long lanterns on New Year's Eve and light them all night.

Taiping drum in western Liaoning is octagonal with iron wire as the frame. Its diameter is about 0.7 to 1 m, covered with leather paper and decorated with colorful paintings, and it has a handle that runs through more than ten iron rings, which will make a rapid sound when it hits and vibrates. The parade of worshippers of Taiping Drum in the market is also a street scene during the festival. "Catch children" is a boudoir game. "Zi Er" is to dye the hoof bones of sheep or pigs in variegated colors, which young women use to throw, pick up or bear, and it is called "grasping". The game place is generally on the indoor kang. The "warehouse filling day" on the 25th of the first month is also called "Tiancang Day" in western Liaoning. Manchu people "fill the warehouse" and have the custom of putting cooked sticky sorghum rice in the granary. They also put ponies and hoes tied with straw poles into rice pots to express their desire to work hard and have plenty of food and clothing.
3. Tomb-Sweeping Day
Time: April 5, Gregorian calendar.
Guide: Folding willows is a custom in Tomb-Sweeping Day, which has lasted for thousands of years. There is a folk proverb that "beauty is the first, if you don't wear willow in Qingming Festival".

In the past, people in southern Liaoning got up early in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and people folded willow branches into circles and put them on children's heads. Women weave a string of delicate rings with peeled wicker to wear on their hair; Some large willow branches are coiled into rings and inserted in eaves, doors and windows and water tanks to pray for peace and prosperity. Tomb-Sweeping Day also has the custom of planting trees. The "Gaiping County Records" compiled during the Republic of China recorded: "Since the Republic of China, Tomb-Sweeping Day has been an Arbor Day, which has enabled students from all schools to plant trees in the next place, that is, the tree is labeled as XXX, and it is also flourishing. In a few years, the trees will be shaded and lush. This move is not only to ease students' thoughts, but also to cultivate forestry and plant trees to cultivate excellent children. This statement can be used. " On that day, every household planted trees and flowers in the open space in front of and behind the house, and institutions and schools also planted trees collectively. This custom continued until the birth of the New Arbor Day after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC).
