The twenty-first day of the first lunar month, also known as the Ground Piercing Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival that has lasted for a long time and cannot be ignored
The 21st day of the first month of the lunar calendar, also known as "piercing the ground", according to legend, is to commemorate Nuwa to make up for the sky and sacrifice the five-colored stone, cut off the legend of the body of the white snake, the Qing Dynasty Kangxi period "Pingdingshan" had "five stones to make up the sky, break the four poles, cut the black dragon Jizhou" said. The "Ground Piercing Festival" is also recorded in the "Ruzhou Chronicles" of the Qing Dynasty, but there are two sayings: "January 21st" and "January 23rd". According to the villagers, the twenty-first day of the first lunar month is the Nuwa Mending Heaven Festival, because she holds one embroidery needle after another in her hand, so it is called the "Earth Piercing Festival". On this day, the villagers want to eat "oil cake" and make "mille-feuille oil tower", that is, the flour is piled into a tower, about two meters high, the outer bread is colored paper, and then decorated with flowers, so it is called "mille-feuille oil tower", there are also people who light incense on it, light candles, sweep the tomb and worship the ancestors. Locals believe that eating "oil cakes" and "oil towers" will protect them from snake bites and bee infestations. Another legend is that on the 21st day of the first lunar month, she sculpted a man and a woman; On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, she became another woman, and she was a woman who gave birth to the people of all ethnic groups in China. Therefore, among the people, people call the "Earth Wearing Festival" the "Heavenly Wear Festival", and the date of Nuwa's clay is called the "Human Wear Festival", which is February 2.
The "Diguan Festival" is also the only traditional festival in China with Nuwa as the ancestor. The festival is not listed as a national folk cultural heritage. In fact, from the origin of "The Ground Piercing Festival" and "The Ground Piercing Festival", we can see that the identity of Nuwa's cultural ancestor was born in the process of historical development, which is not only the great efforts made by human beings in the process of overcoming natural disasters and building a beautiful life, but also a kind of good wishes to the people. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to take "Nuwa Niangniang" as the ancestor of China's culture and "Ground Piercing Festival" as a traditional festival in China.
However, in recent years, many traditional festivals and customs in China have been constantly influenced and influenced by foreign civilizations. A lot of people don't know about their traditional holidays. Therefore, it is very meaningful to promote and promote the traditional festivals in our country.
