Spring Festival, a traditional festival full of laughter and laughter, has its unique meaning and name every day since the beginning of the Lunar New Year.
For example, the first day of the Lunar New Year is Rooster Day, which symbolizes diligence and early riser; The second day of the Lunar New Year is Dog Day, which means loyalty and protection; The third day of the Lunar New Year is the day of the sheep, which represents mildness and obedience; The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day of the pig, which symbolizes abundance and abundance; The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day of the ox, which means strength and tenacity; The sixth day of the Lunar New Year is the day of the horse, which represents galloping and vitality; The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the Day of the People, symbolizing wisdom and creativity; And today, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, is the day of the valley, which represents a good harvest and abundance. Let us pray together that in the new year, we can all reap full happiness and wealth.
These daily nicknames are said to be carefully arranged in the order in which Nuwa created all things. On the first day, she skillfully pinched out the form of a chicken; The next day, a lively and cute dog was created; On the third day, the docile image of the sheep also came into being; On the fourth day, a cute pig appeared in her hands.
On the fifth day, the strong image of the ox was carefully molded and became the right-hand man of the earth; On the sixth day, a heroic horse leaps on the paper, heralding the speed and passion of mankind in the future. On the seventh day, Nuwa had finally completed the creation of human beings, endowed them with wisdom and emotion.
At this point, poultry, ploughing cattle, war horses and other animals for people have been completed. So, on the eighth day, she created an abundance of grains that nourished people's lives, allowing them to enjoy the food and experience the beauty of life at the same time. According to the ancient tradition, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is also known as the "Wealth Day", implying a beautiful vision of abundant grains, full grain warehouses and rolling financial resources. On this day, people tend to be able to do things smoothly and everything is going well.
So, let's explore the traditional customs of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year! 1. Not one. After the Chinese New Year, especially when we are packing our bags and preparing to return, we often hear the saying: "Seven don't go out, eight don't return." ”
The meaning of this sentence does not mean that you can't go out on the seventh day or go home on the eighth day, but it contains a deeper philosophy of life. It warns us that we must prepare firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea for our parents or wives before we go out, otherwise we will not be able to go out.
Similarly, the "Eight No Returns" reminds us to fulfill the eight moral obligations of filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame when working outside, and if we do something that damages the honor of the family, we should not return to our hometown to face our ancestors. Although these traditional customs are simple, they contain a profound humanistic spirit and family ethics.
In the early morning of the eighth day of the second lunar month, the air is filled with the fragrance of hope, and this day is affectionately known as the "Valley Day". It symbolizes the vision of a bumper harvest and a full grain warehouse, and our rice warehouse and flour warehouse are filled on this day, as if it is a gift from nature, and it is also people's love and awe of life. On this day, we also call it the "Shunxing Festival". Legend has it that this day is the day when the stars of the sky descend on earth. In order to welcome the starlight, the lights in the home are bright, like the stars, bringing a peaceful atmosphere to the family and praying for the prosperity and good luck of the family. These lights are like hope in people's hearts, illuminating the road ahead and warming every corner. On this day, people integrate their yearning and prayers for a better life into their lives. The harvest of Guri and the peace of the Shunxing Festival are intertwined, forming a beautiful picture, and it is also people's love and awe of life. On this beautiful day, we all felt the power of nature, and also experienced the warmth and strength brought by people's yearning for a better life and prayers. 
During the festive season, we taste not only food, but also a deep meaning. First of all, the fragrant hair cake seems to indicate the prosperity of the wealth, which is the same as the homonym of "888, Fa Fa Fa". On this special day, eating a piece of fat cake seems to be able to pocket wealth, business and good luck. Immediately afterwards, the round and sweet rice balls carried the good wishes of the people for prosperity. A folk proverb once said: "A star in the sky, a ding on the earth", as if everyone has a corresponding star in the sky. And the rice balls, this round and sweet delicacy, are not only suitable for the occasion, but also delicious. In the end, how can you forget the dumplings shaped like ingots? It means that the wealth is rolling, and eating it in the stomach seems to be able to hug the fortune tightly. On this day, let's taste these three delicacies together, so that they can not only satisfy the taste buds, but also be full of blessings and expectations for the future.

On the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year, people begin to rush back to work, and they have no time to take care of these customs. However, we can't just focus on the form and ignore the essential meaning of the festival. Every festival created by our ancestors has its far-reaching significance.
