January 1st, New Year's Day
origin
Laba Festival is a Buddhist festival. This day is the day when Sakyamuni became a Buddha, also known as "Daoism Festival". The most important activity on this day is to eat Laba porridge. The earliest Laba porridge only added adzuki beans to rice porridge, and later it evolved into a very complicated and elegant one. The main ingredients are dozens of kinds of white rice, yellow rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, etc., and walnuts, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, raisins, longan meat, lilies, lotus seeds, etc. are added, and the fragrance floats for miles. In addition to Laba porridge, there are Laba noodles, Laba garlic and other flavor foods. On the eighth day of Laba, the people also soaked peeled garlic cloves in rice vinegar, sealed them in jars and placed them in warmer places. After 20 days, the vinegar was dark red in color and slightly sour and spicy, which was called "Laba vinegar" and "Laba garlic".

Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month
origin
According to legend, in ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, which had long tentacles and was ferocious. Nian lived at the bottom of the sea for many years, and climbed ashore every New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and hurting people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in villages and villages fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast.
On New Year's Eve this year, people in Taohua Village were taking refuge in the mountains, when an old beggar came from outside the village. He was walking on crutches, with a bag on his arm and elegant silver whiskers, and his eyes were on Matthew. Some villagers sealed windows and locked doors, some packed their bags, some herded cattle and drove sheep, and people shouted hiss everywhere, which was a scene of panic. At this time, who has the heart to take care of the begging old man?
Only an old woman in the east of the village gave the old man some food and advised him to go up the mountain quickly to avoid the Nian beast. The old man smiled and said, "If my mother-in-law lets me stay at home for one night, I will definitely drive the Nian beast away.
The old woman was surprised to look closely, and saw that he was handsome, energetic and extraordinary. But she continued to persuade and begged the old man to laugh without saying a word. Mother-in-law had no choice but to leave home and take refuge in the mountains.
At midnight, Nian beast broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the old woman's house in the east of the village had red paper on the door and the house was brightly lit. "Nian" beast was shaking and gave a long cry. "Nian" glared at her mother-in-law's house for a moment, and then screamed and rushed over. As we approached the door, there was a sudden explosion in the courtyard, and Nian trembled and dared not go forward again.
It turns out that Nian is most afraid of red, fire and exploding. At this time, my mother-in-law's door was wide open, and I saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. "Nian" was frightened to disgrace and fled in confusion.
The next day was the first day of the first month, and the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and quickly told the villagers about the promise of begging the old man. Villagers flocked to the old woman's house, only to see red paper on her mother-in-law's door, a pile of unburned bamboo still exploding in the yard, and a few red candles in the house were still glowing ...
In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, ecstatic villagers put on new clothes and hats one after another and went to their relatives and friends' homes to congratulate and say hello. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people all knew the way to drive away the "Nian" beast.
Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers. Every household is brightly lit by candlelight, and it is better to wait for the new year. In the early morning of the first day, I have to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom spread more and more widely and became the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China.

Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month
origin
The 15th day of the first lunar month is the traditional Lantern Festival in China. The first month is January, the ancients called the night "Xiao", and the fifteenth day is the first full moon night in a year, so the fifteenth day of the first month is called the Lantern Festival. Also known as "Shangyuan Festival". According to the folk tradition in China, on the festival night in spring returns, the moon is high in the sky, and there are 10,000 lanterns on the ground, so people can watch lanterns, have solve riddles on the lanterns and have Yuanxiao, and have a happy family reunion.
Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, and it is said that it was set in memory of Pinglu when Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty was in power. After the death of Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, Lv Hou usurped power, and the Lushi clan dominated the state affairs. After Lv Hou's death, zhou bo, Chen Ping and others eliminated Lv Hou's influence and established Liu Heng as the Chinese Emperor. Because the day to quell Zhu Lu was the fifteenth day of the first month, after that, every year on the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, Emperor Wendi went out of the palace incognito and enjoyed himself with the people as a souvenir. And the fifteenth day of the first month is designated as the Lantern Festival. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activities of "Taiyi God" were held on the 15th day of the first month. Sima Qian listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival in "taichu calendar".
There is a folk custom of eating Yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival in our country. According to folk legend, Yuanxiao originated from King Zhao of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. On the fifteenth day of the first month, King Zhao of Chu passed the Yangtze River and saw floating objects on the river, which were sweet food with white outside and red inside. King Zhao of Chu asked Confucius, who said, "This duckweed fruit is also a sign of the revival of the Lord." Yuanxiao, like rice cakes in the Spring Festival and zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival, is a holiday food. Eating Yuanxiao symbolizes family reunion like a full moon, and places people's good wishes for future life. Yuanxiao is called "Tangyuan", "Yuanzi", "Floating Yuanzi" and "Shuiyuan" in the south. It is made of glutinous rice, solid or stuffed. Stuffing includes bean paste, sugar, hawthorn, etc., which can be boiled, fried, steamed and fried.
The custom of burning lanterns in the Lantern Festival originated from the Taoist "Sanyuan Theory". The 15th day of the first month is Shangyuan Festival, the 15th day of July is Zhongyuan Festival, and the 15th day of October is Xiayuan Festival. The three officials in charge of the upper, middle and lower elements are "heaven", "earth" and "man" respectively, and the heaven official is happy, so the lantern festival should be lit. Burning lanterns and setting fire to the Lantern Festival has been a custom since the Han Dynasty, and it was paid more attention to in the Tang Dynasty. Burning lanterns on the Lantern Festival has become a custom. Lu Zhaolin, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once described the grand occasion of lighting lanterns in the Lantern Festival in "Watching Lights at Fifteen Nights", saying, "After the stars fall in the Han Dynasty, the building seems to hang like the moon." The custom of burning lanterns in the Lantern Festival has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are more and more kinds of lanterns, including mirror lanterns, phoenix lanterns, glazed lanterns and so on. In addition to burning lanterns, fireworks are also set off during the Lantern Festival.
"solve riddles on the lanterns", also known as "playing riddles", is an activity added after the Lantern Festival, which appeared in the Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital Lin 'an made riddles every Lantern Festival, and there were many people guessing riddles. At the beginning, it was a busybody who wrote riddles on paper and pasted them on colorful lanterns for people to guess. Because riddles are enlightening and interesting, they are welcomed by all walks of life in the process of spreading.
In addition to celebrating the Lantern Festival, there are also religious activities. That is, most of the participants in "walking all kinds of diseases", also known as "baking all kinds of diseases" and "spreading all kinds of diseases" are women. They walk together or walk by the wall, or cross the bridge and walk through the suburbs, with the aim of driving away diseases and eliminating disasters.
With the passage of time, there are more and more activities in the Lantern Festival. In many places, activities such as playing dragon lanterns, playing lions, walking on stilts, rowing dry boats, dancing yangko and playing Taiping drums have been added during festivals.

February 14th Valentine's Day
origin
The origin of valentine's day
Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day. Originated in ancient Rome, it is held every February 14, and now it has become a favorite festival for young people in Europe and America. There are different opinions about the origin of the name "Saint Valentine's Day". Some say it's to commemorate the Christian martyr named Valentine. He was arrested and imprisoned for resisting the persecution of Christians by Roman rulers, and was sentenced to death on February 14, AD 270. Before the execution, Valentine wrote a letter to the warden's daughter, showing his aboveboard heart and feelings for her. Since then, Christianity has designated February 14 as "Valentine's Day".
The history of Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is a day for friends, family and lovers. Just as China people now spend Christmas with almost fanatical enthusiasm, Valentine's Day has quietly penetrated into the minds of countless young people and become another important festival besides the traditional festivals in China. The origin and significance of Valentine's Day may not necessarily be known to most people. The following is just one of many legends about Valentine's Day.
In ancient Rome, February 14th was a festival to show respect for Jonah. Jonah was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans regarded her as the god of women and marriage at the same time. The following February 15th is called Lupsala Festival, which is used to show respect to other gods under Jonah's rule.
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.
origin
According to legend, the second day of February in the lunar calendar is the day when the dragon looks up. This day is called "Dragon Head Festival", which is one of the traditional festivals in rural areas of 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.

Flower arranging festival on the eighth day of the second lunar month.
origin
flower festival
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 fool's day on April 1 ST
origin
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 on the festival day of March 31st every year, regardless of gender, age and age, people can play jokes on each other and fool each other for entertainment. The more common saying is that it originated in France. 1564, French king Charles IX decided to adopt a new method of chronology-Gregor 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.

festival
Poets' day on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month
origin
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 respect for personality and the greatness of his 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 aims at demonstrating justice, understanding truth and expressing emotion, so poets should first 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 fills in words all day long to make laws, to hunt for fame, or to do business, and he is a poet and a peddler, not a poet. Here, the initiation of the Poets' Festival is actually related to the whole society-in a poetry society, it is not necessary for everyone to recite poems, but to be able to distinguish right from wrong, to meet each other honestly, and to have a good atmosphere.

May 12th International Nurses' Day
origin

She led nurses to work around the clock, relieving 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 is a modern nurse. 1883 The British royal family awarded her the Superclass Medal as the highest honor. 19 10 Nightingale died.

Later, the United States Senate passed that the day when Jarvis's mother died (1the second Sunday in May, 905) 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.

In many families, the responsibilities of fathers are obviously strengthened. On the other hand, with the increase of female employment, fathers must also undertake more housework. In this case, children's attachment to their fathers has been continuously enhanced, and this festival has gradually spread to the whole country. 1972, under the strong appeal of all parties, US President Nixon signed a parliamentary resolution to establish Father's Day, making it a national holiday. On this day, the children get up early in the morning, cook a hearty breakfast for their father by themselves, and bring it to their father's bed by hand. The children will also make some beautiful small gifts for their father. Like Mother's Day, on Father's Day, people also wear certain flowers on their chests. Generally speaking, wearing red roses means loving your living father, while wearing white roses means mourning for your dead father.
