When it comes to the Black Rice Festival, people will think of the traditional folk tale of Muren saving his mother. Muren's mother was sent to the eighteenth layer of hell by Hades for some reason. Out of filial piety to his mother, he asked for a wishful staff from the king of Jizo that could open the gates of hell and bring food to his mother.

Every time she gave her mother, she was robbed and eaten by the evil spirits guarding the hell, and her mother often starved.

In order not to let my mother go hungry, I went over the mountains and mountains, tasted all the herbs, and found that the leaves with black juice were fragrant and refreshing, refreshing and appetizing, because the glutinous rice cooked into it was very delicious although the color was black. Mulian cooked it into black rice and sent it to prison, but the evil ghost saw that the rice was black and did not dare to eat it, so he had to give it to Mulian's mother.

Since then, Muren's mother has never been hungry anymore. In order to free his mother from the suffering of hell, Muren devoted himself to the Buddha and practiced painstakingly, and finally moved the Buddha and resurrected his mother. Muren is finally reunited with his mother.

For thousands of years, people have been touched by the filial piety and deeds of Muren to save his mother. Also out of the good wish that the deceased relatives of each family will not suffer from hunger, he cooked and ate black rice on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month "also the Buddha's birthday" when Muren delivered food to his mother for the first time. This custom is still practiced in some villages in Dangtu County.

The eighteenth day of April in the lunar calendar is the birth day of the god of Mount Tai Temple, also known as the day of praying for the heir, and people are known as "April 18, the grandmother temple prays for the doll". At that time, people went to the grandmother's temple to burn incense and sacrifice, and received clay dolls to pray for blessings and many children and grandchildren. Then catch the temple fair, go shopping and watch the performance, which is very lively.

In the 50s of the last century, this activity stopped, and now there is a trend of recovery in some places.

The origin of the birth day of the temple god of Mount Tai:

In the early days, the Xibe people were active in the area of the Daxing'an Mountains, "migrating livestock and shooting and hunting". In 386 A.D., the Tuoba Xianbei people established the Northern Wei regime; Others call themselves "Murowei" and live a fishing and hunting life in the Nenjiang, Qiuer and Taoer river basins. During the 39th to 41st years of Kangxi (1769-1701), the Xibe Eight Banners were dispatched by the imperial court and moved south from Beduna, Qiqihar, Jilin Ula and other places to settle in the Liaoshen region.

The early Xibe ancestors formed a fishing and hunting culture that admired nature and its various worships, beliefs, customs, and shaman culture with Mansa as the primitive religion. Every year in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the clansmen go out to choose the place where the water and grass are abundant, and hold rituals such as sacrifices and dancing gods to pray for the safety of the people. As a result, the traditional festival of "April 18 of the lunar calendar" and its folk traditions were formed.

After settling in the Liaoshen area, in the 46th year of Kangxi Reign (1707), the "Xibo Family Temple" was built in Shengjing (now Shenyang City) as a place for the religious, cultural and folk art activities of the nation. Every year, the "April 18th of the lunar calendar" festival is held in the family temple, which not only retains the ancient fishing and hunting culture and shaman cultural customs, but also injects the content of the cultural customs of the Eight Banners into the festival.

The content of moving westward to the border and patriotism added to the traditional festival began on the 18th day of the fourth lunar month in the 29th year of Qianlong (1764). On this day, on the order of the imperial court, a part of the Xibe officers and soldiers and their dependents who went to the border of the Tunken Reclamation in the Ili Prefecture gathered at the Xibe Temple in Shengjing to say goodbye to the compatriots who remained in their hometown. For more than 240 years, the Xibe people have been commemorating the feat of westward migration and the heroic achievements of the people in Xinjiang through the Westward Migration Festival, so as to inherit and carry forward the spirit of their ancestors who loved the motherland and had the courage to sacrifice to move westward, and show the spiritual outlook of the Xibe people today who keep pace with the times.

Therefore, the westward migration festival has become a platform to fully display the various folk arts of the nation, form a cultural communication space of the nation, show the splendid and long-standing cultural traditions of the Xibe people to the world, and give this festival a romantic and moving auspicious meaning, making it a joyful event and a wonderful poem in the life of the Xibe people.

The eighth day of April is the birthday of Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha.

April 8 is: International Rare Animal Protection Day.

Rare animals are relatively rare and precious animals in nature. In various countries in the world, there is a problem of the extinction of rare animal potatoes to varying degrees. For this reason, April 8 of each year is designated as the International Rare Animal Protection Day.

Since there is no information supporting evidence of the festival in other countries other than China, it is likely that it is a fabrication or misrepresentation of the festival.

China is a major country in the distribution of endangered animals. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 120 species of endangered animals native to China that are only included in the appendix of the International Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, referring to species originating in China, including 257 species in the list of wild animals under national key protection, 400 species of birds, amphibians and reptiles and fish in the Red Book of China's Endangered Animals, and hundreds of species in the list of wild animals under key protection in various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

April 8 is the festival of which ear picks up a nationMiao Cattle Festival. Legend has it that the eighth day of April is the birthday of the cow. When people do not go to the ground, the oxen do not pull the plow, go up the mountain to pick the leaves of black rice and maple trees, crush them into the stone mortar, soak the rice with filter juice and steam it into black glutinous rice, and kill chickens and ducks to celebrate the birthday of the cow.

Black rice is a folk prescription of the Miao nationality, which has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, and nourishing essence and qi. The Miao people use black rice to worship cattle, reflecting the special role of cattle in an agrarian society.

April 8

Legend. For thousands of years, every year on the eighth day of April, the Miao compatriots have to have a day off, people gather together, stay up all night, drink heartily, and many young men and women dance in groups to sing and dance to make friends, and choose their own partners. But more than 100 years ago, in the Longtang River jumping flower ditch at the junction of Phoenix and Songtao County, when the flowers were jumped on April 8, the official family saw that the Miao family girl on the flower jumping field was as beautiful as a flower, so they often sent troops to the beauty pageant to pay tribute.

At this time, a hot-blooded young man from the Miao family named Wu Manyi saw his sister being bullied like this, and decided to rise up and resist to stop the atrocities of the government. April 8 of this year came again, and the people of the government came violently, Wu Manyi led the younger students to draw swords and dance sticks, and beat these lackeys to the ground. After the government learned about it, it sent batch after batch of officers and soldiers to suppress it, and the rebel army led by Wu Manyi fought for more than a year, but because they were outnumbered, they finally failed, and Wu Manyi was killed on the bank of Huaxi in Guiyang.

In order to commemorate this young hero, every year on the eighth day of the fourth month of the fourth month, people hold a grand commemorative activity to commemorate the hero who died fighting for the freedom of the women of the Yuanqi Miao family.

Hello dear, April 18 is not a traditional Chinese holiday, but a commemorative day of the All-People's War of Resistance during World War II. On this day in 1937, the Japanese army entered Shanghai and began the three-month Battle of Songhu, which was one of the most fierce and representative battles in the Chinese National War of Resistance. Therefore, April 18 was designated as the anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Every year, on the 18th anniversary of Li Chengyue, China will hold various forms of commemoration to commemorate the martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War who sacrificed their lives to defend national peace, commend the heroes and exemplary figures who participated in the War of Resistance against Japan, and issue an initiative of "patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness" to further promote the spirit of the War of Resistance against Japan and safeguard the country and national unity.
