The Hanyi Festival
The Hanyi Festival, also called the Winter Clothing Festival, is an important traditional Chinese festival for remembering ancestors. It is celebrated every year on the first day of the 10th month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
Along with the Qingming Festival in spring and the Zhongyuan Festival in summer, it is one of China's three major "ghost festivals". On this day, people hold simple and sincere ceremonies to send warmth to their deceased family members. These activities show their love, memories and respect to their ancestors.
The festival has a long history. It started during the Zhou Dynasty, about the 11th century BC to 256 BC. Back then, people had the custom of giving winter clothes to others. The ancient book The Book of Songs has a line that reminds people to prepare for the cold by getting winter clothes ready. Gradually, the first day of the 10th lunar month became the Festival of Bestowing Clothes(授衣节), which showed the ancient people's care for staying warm and healthy.
During the Ming Dynasty(1368—1644), the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang made this custom more popular. He held formal ceremonies in the palace to give out winter clothes and offered warm red bean porridge to his officials.
A famous legend also makes this festival more meaningful. Lady Meng Jiang
traveled a long way to take winter clothes to her husband, who was building the Great Wall. But when she arrived, she found out her husband had died. She was very sad and burned the clothes she made, hoping the fire would send her love to him. Her story made later people start burning paper clothes for their ancestors.
Since then, burning winter clothes on the first day of the 10th lunar month has become a lasting tradition of the Hanyi Festival.
