traditional custom

The origins of traditional festivals are classified into the following categories: first, they originated from primitive sacrificial activities, such as Spring Festival sacrificial activities, Qingming sacrificial activities, Dragon Boat Festival sacrificial activities, Quyuan sacrificial activities, October Dynasty sacrificial activities (Huizhou), and so on. The origins of these festivals are generally quite ancient; second, they originated from religious activities. The more typical one is the Zhongyuan Festival, which is the folk festival of July 14 in Huizhou, It originated from the Taoist mid Yuan Festival and the Buddhist Yulan basin Festival; the third originated from farming activities, such as Qingming, October Dynasty and winter solstice; the fourth originated from community entertainment activities, such as the Dragon Boat Race of the Dragon Boat Festival, which had existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty; the fifth originated from major historical events. There may be other sources, but the above sources can basically explain the origin of more than ten major traditional festivals in Huizhou.

From the perspective of Huizhou traditional festivals and customs, it should be said that a considerable part of them are the natural continuation and reproduction of the traditional festivals and customs of Han nationality. During the Spring Festival in Huizhou, such as sweeping the dust, keeping the new year's day and paying New Year's respects, Lantern Festival watching, tomb worship during the Qingming Festival, dragon boat racing, eating palm seeds and Artemisia argyi on the Dragon Boat Festival, offering sacrifices to ghosts on the 14th of July, moon worship and moon cakes on the 15th of August and so on, are all the same customs as those in most areas of the Han nationality. However, it should be noted that a considerable number of traditional frugality in most areas of the Han nationality have changed in Huizhou. There are quite a lot of them, such as the mountain lantern in the first half of the first lunar month, the form of the second uncle's Guild in February and the Guanyin's Guild in February 19, the custom of storing water on the seventh day of July, the Yulan Jiaoshi mixed with the fourteen Buddhas in July, the custom of flying paper kites and making in the Double Ninth Festival in September, the custom of October Dynasty, the custom of winter and so on. It should be said that there are some deviant festivals and customs, and many of them are unique in the local area, such as the custom of wearing garlic on the 20th day of the first lunar month, the custom of people's doll Exhibition on the 30th day of the first lunar month, the custom of buying fans on April 8th and the custom of no fish, and the ceremony of worshiping the sun on June 6th.

This part of the variation of Huizhou's unique festivals and customs generally has a long history in Huizhou, so it has a strong mass base among the people. Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, the above festivals and customs were popular among Huizhou people. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, due to the influence of major historical events, especially the "Cultural Revolution", the above festivals and customs gradually decreased. However, as a kind of local folk culture which has lasted for thousands of years, it will not disappear immediately. With the recovery of some traditional Chinese festivals and customs, most of the folk festivals and customs with Huizhou characteristics are quietly rising among the people, which should be said to be a normal thing.

January 1 (Spring Festival),

February 2 (Bogong's birthday),

March Qingming, April 8 (Buddha Bathing Festival);

June 6 (the sun's birthday),

July 14 (Ghost Festival) and August half (Mid Autumn Festival);
