What day is February 15th?
Flower Festival
In the Tang Dynasty, the flower festival was designated as February 15th, and it became three "half-moon" festivals alongside the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first month and the Mid-autumn Festival on the 15th of August. In the Song Dynasty, the Flower Festival was advanced to February 12th or the second day of February in some places ―― perhaps because of the impatience for spring. According to "Guang Qun Fang Pu. Tian Shi Pu Er", Cheng Zhai Shi Hua: "Tokyo (that is, Kaifeng today) called the Flower Dynasty on February 12, which was a butterfly-catching party." "Han Mo Ji" has: "Luoyang custom takes February 2 as the Flower Festival. Scholars are playing, and it is also a vegetable picking festival. " Yang Wanli said that "February 15th in Tang Dynasty is the flower dynasty", while "February 12th in Tokyo is the flower dynasty". However, the Dream of Liang Lu, which introduces the style of Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, still follows the old habit: "The 15th day of midsummer is the Flower Festival, which is a custom between Zhejiang. It is thought that when spring is in the middle and flowers are competing for hope, it is the best time to visit." By the Qing Dynasty, February 15th was the flower dynasty in the north, while February 12th was the flower dynasty in the south. It's just climate difference.
to sum up, on the one hand, following the mainstream of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and on the other hand, taking the half-moon as an auspicious day, we suggest that the date of the Flower Dynasty be set at February 15th in the summer calendar.
Flower Festival is one of the eight folk festivals in China, also known as Flower Festival, commonly known as Baihua Birthday. The Flower Festival is closely related to the climate season, so the specific date varies from place to place. In our middle school class, we read Yuan Hongdao's Travels of Manjing, in which it is mentioned that "after the Flower Festival, the residual cold is still fierce". All the flower festivals are in February of the summer calendar, which is the early spring season. Why is it warm and cold? On solar terms, it is between "shock" and "vernal equinox". At this time, spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, the vegetation is green, and the flowers are in bud or blooming. On this day, people everywhere, especially flower farmers, will sacrifice flowers for protection.

what festival is February 14th? St. Valentine's Day
There are probably as many lovers in the world as there are explanations about the origin of Valentine's Day.
Just like China people have celebrated 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 your beloved. At this point, Valentine's Day reflects the original intention of the ancient Romans in designing this festival.
in the 3rd century, there was a tyrant in ancient Rome named Claudius. Not far from the tyrant's palace, there is a very beautiful temple. The friar Valentine lived here. The Romans revered him very much. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor, high and low, always gathered around him and listened to Valentane's prayers in front of the blazing flame of the altar.
The wars in ancient Rome have been continuous. The tyrant Claudius recruited a large number of citizens to the battlefield, and people complained bitterly. Men don't want to leave home, and boys can't bear to be separated from their lovers. Claudius flew into a rage. He ordered people not to hold weddings, and even all those who were engaged were about to break off their engagement. Many young people bid farewell to their lovers and went to the battlefield in grief and indignation. Young girls are also depressed because of the loss of their lovers.
Valentane was very sad about the tyrant's abuse. When a couple came to the temple and asked for his help, Valentini quietly married them in front of the sacred altar. People spread the word, and many people came here to form a partner with Valentane's help.
The news finally reached the palace and the tyrant. Claudius flew into a rage again. He ordered the soldiers to rush into the temple and drag Valentane away from a couple who were having a wedding and put him in a dungeon. People begged for the tyrant's exemption, but they all returned in vain. Valentane finally tortured to death in the dungeon.
Sad friends buried him in St. Pula's Church. That day was February 14th, and that year was 27 AD.
The other version doesn't seem as exciting as this one. Legend has it that Valentane was one of the earliest Christians. Being a Christian at that time meant danger and death. In order to cover other martyrs, Valentane was caught and put into prison. There he cured the blind eyes of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard of a miracle, he was so frightened that he beheaded Valentane. According to legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentane wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden's daughter, which was signed: From your Valentine
Historians prefer to get to the bottom of it, and their interpretation of Valentine's Day seems convincing. In fact, much earlier than AD 27, when the foundation stone was laid in Rome, there was still a wilderness around, and wolves wandered around in groups. Among the gods worshipped by the Romans, Lupercus was in charge of the protection of shepherds and sheep. Every year in mid-February, the Romans hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the festival of faun. Compared with now, the calendar at that time was a little later, so the festival of faun was actually a celebration of the coming spring. Some people also say that this festival is to celebrate Faunus, which is similar to the ancient Greek sheep's foot and the horned Pan, who is in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture.
the origin of faun festival is so long ago that even scholars in the first century BC could not confirm it. However, the importance of this festival cannot be denied ... > >
