Origin and Customs of Xiayuan Festival
Xiayuan Festival, also known as "Xiayuan Water Official Festival," is one of the traditional Chinese festivals, together with Shangyuan Festival (15th day of the first lunar month) and Zhongyuan Festival (15th day of the seventh lunar month), they are collectively known as the "Three Yuan Festivals." Xiayuan Festival is traditionally believed to be the birthday of Yu, the Great Water Official, who is in charge of pardoning sins and resolving misfortunes. Therefore, people hold various sacrificial activities on this day to pray for favorable weather, national peace, and prosperity, and to offer prayers for deceased relatives.
In folk customs, Xiayuan Festival traditions include ancestor worship, Taoist rituals, lighting lamps, eating ciba or tangyuan, etc. Many places also make "Water Official Buns," symbolizing the preparation of offerings for the Great Water Official to seek forgiveness and avoid disaster. With the development of the times, the traditional customs of Xiayuan Festival are still prevalent in some areas, reflecting the Chinese nation's reverence for heaven and earth and their prayers for a better life.
