Author: Zhang Shaoqing.
The eighth day of the first lunar month is an important node in the footsteps of the Spring Festival. More than half of the Spring Festival has passed, but it is still in the midst of lively celebrations. During the Spring Festival, in addition to liking auspicious words, I also prefer auspicious numbers, especially "8".
The homonym of "8" on the eighth day of the first lunar month is "hair", and many stores are ready to open before the festival on the eighth day of the first month, which means "hair and hair", in order to pray for "business prosperity through the four seas, and the wealth is prosperous to reach the three rivers", so this day is called "the start of work".
The folk tale related to "8" also has "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", as the saying goes, "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea to Show Their Magical Powers", which has left a relatively good impression in the hearts of the people. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, people will spontaneously worship the eight immortals to express their reverence, so the eighth day of the first lunar month is also known as the "Eight Immortals Festival".
In addition to the above two sayings, there is also a saying that on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the stars are in the lower realm, and people worship the sun, moon and stars, praying for the stars to shine and the wind and rain are smooth, which is called the "Shunxing Festival".
According to legend, the eighth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of "Millet", which is called "Grain Day", and the weather on this day predicts the harvest of grain in the coming year. In the northern region, this day is called the "Harvest Meeting", which teaches children about the five grains and teaches people to cherish food.
China has always attached great importance to agricultural production, agriculture is also the top priority in people's lives, and obtaining a bumper harvest of grain is the greatest expectation of the people, so it attaches great importance to the eighth day of the new year.
