Spring Festival Sacrifice:
February Spring Festival, also known as Spring Festival, is a traditional festival in China. There were no fixed dates in ancient times. Pre-Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties chose different dates. Since the Song Dynasty, the fifth day after beginning of spring was regarded as a social day.
In ancient China, the Society Day Festival was held twice a year, divided into Spring Society Day and Autumn Society Day. The Spring Society prayed for the blessing of the social gods, and the grain was abundant. After the autumn harvest, the autumn harvest society reported the good news of the harvest and thanked the gods. Society refers to the ancient land god. "White Tiger Yi Tong Country" records that "people can't stand without soil, they can't eat without food, and the vast land can't be respected one by one, so they can stand without soil." Zheng Xuan made a note that "after the land, the country is also", and later it was for the convenience of offering sacrifices to the land gods.
February Spring Club Day is a festival to worship the land gods and valley gods of the commune in spring, also called Zhonghe Festival. According to "Guang Ji", "the cottage is used as neutralizing wine, and the seeds are sacrificed to pray for the new year's valley", which has pinned the wishes of the working people in ancient China for a better life.
