Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so it's not surprising to see a festival of lanterns.People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats. These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to theLunar celebration. After a sumptuous [] fifteen-day feast, these lanternslight the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year.The special food for the Lantern Festival is Tang Yuan or Yuan Xiao. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp. The round shape of the dumpling is a symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity.The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone-- young, old, rich and poor to have fun.Tomb-Sweeping FestivalThe Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. Afterthe festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Trafficon the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or thethread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "god's lanterns."The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12.Dragon Boat FestivalDragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it ispossibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.Mid-Autumn (Moon)FestivalMid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. At this time, the moon is at its fullest and brightest, marking an ideal time to celebrate the abundance of the summer's harvest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which thereare many different varieties.Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year). Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat mooncakes together. Together with the celebration, there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as burning incense, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers, and fire dragon dances. Shops selling mooncakes, before the festival, often display pictures of Chang'e, floating to the moon.Double Ninth DayThe 9th day of September in the lunar calendar is "the Chinese Chong Yang Festival" and a happy occasion in autumn. According to the traditional theory of "Yin" and "Yang", both the 9th month and the 9th day of the month belong to "Yang", which means positive and masculine, and "Chong" means double, thus it is called "Chong Yang".People often gather for a party, appreciate chrysanthemums, pin the leaves of Cornus 茱萸on clothes. And the custom ofclimbing mountains and eating a special cake also features the day.This custom of climbing mountains can be dated back as early as West Han Dynasty. Some old travel notes have it that, people climbed to mountain peaks not only for beautiful scenes and poetic inspiration, but also the avoidance of evil spirits and disasters.This practice came from an ancient folktale. It is said long ago there appeared a devil of plague in the Ruhe River. People lay down and died wherever it came up. A boy named Heng Jing swore to help his neighbors and fellow people to get rid of it. He visited many famous mountains to seek a powerful master. Finally an old Taoist took him in and taught him how to defeat the devil. Heng Jing put his whole heart into study and practice.One day, the Taoist called him up and said, “Heng Jing, tomorrow is the 9th day ofSeptember and the devil will reappear. It is time for you to go home and stop the devil.” The master also gave him a pack of leaves of Cornus and a jar of liquor soaked 浸泡with chrysanthemums. Riding a crane, Heng Jing went a great distance back home in a day. As instructed by his master, he told his fellow villagers to climb up the nearby mountain with a Cornus leaf pinned on their clothes and a glass of chrysanthemum liquor in hand. When the devil of plague came up from under the water, it got dizzy by the scent of Cornus and chrysanthemums. Heng Jing fought with his master's sword and killed the devil in a few rounds. People held parties, drank chrysanthemum liquor to celebrate it. And the next year, the custom of mountain climbing became popular among the villagers.In the golden September, chrysanthemum blooms, reminding people of the folktale.And later a special cake with dates, chestnuts栗子and meat was made to add more festivity to the special day唐一鹤的译文Reminiscent of My Brothers in Puzhou to the East of Huashan on the Double Ninth FestivalBeing a stranger alone in a strange land,I miss my dear ones on every happyfestival with a heavy mind.I know from afar the heights where my brothers have ascendedWith dogwoods水木on their heads but without me accompanied.陈君朴的译文Thinking of My Brothers in Shandong on the Double Ninth FestivalA stranger in a strange land on each holidayI think of my kinsmen with a double care.I know when my brothers wear medicine bagsAt the heights, they would find one to spare.Double Seventh DayThe Double Seventh Day refers to the seventh day of the seventh month on the Chinese lunar calendar. The day is not as well known as many other Chinese festivals. But almost everyone in China, young and old, is very familiar with the story behind this festival.In ancient times, the Double Seventh Day was a festival especially for young women.Girls, no matter from rich or poor families,would put on their holiday best to celebrate the annual meeting of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. Parents would place an incense burner in the courtyard and lay out some fruit as offerings. Then all the girls in the family would kowtow to Cowherd and Weaving Maid and pray for ingenuity[]心灵手巧.In the Tang Dynasty about 1,000 years ago, rich families in the capital city of Chang'an would set up a decorated tower in the courtyard and name it Tower of Praying for Ingenuity. They prayed for various types of ingenuity. Most girls would pray for outstanding sewing or cooking skills. In the past these were important virtues for a woman.Girls and women would gather together in a square and look into the star-filled night sky. They would put their hands behind their backs, holding needle and thread. At the word “Start”, they would try to threadthe needle穿针乞巧. Cowherd and Weaving Maid would bless the one who succeeded first.The same night, the girls and women would also display carved melons and samples of their cookies and other delicacies. During the daytime, they would skillfully carve melons into all sorts of things. Some would make a gold fish. Some preferred flowers. Others would use several melons and carve them into an exquisite building. These melons were called Hua Gua or Carved Melons.The ladies would also show off their fried cookies made in many different shapes. They would invite the Weaving Maid to judge who was the best. Of course, she would not come down to the world because she was busy talking to Cowherd after a long year of separation. These activities gave the girls and women a good opportunity to show their skills and addedfun to the fesstival.Chinese people nowadays, especially city residents, no longer hold such activities. Most young women buy their clothes from shops and most young couples share the housework. The Double Seventh Day is not a public holiday in China. However, it is still a day to celebrate the annual meeting of the loving couple, Cowherd and Weaving Maid. Not surprisingly, many people consider the Double seventh Day the Chinese Valentine's Day.。
