What day is it today? Why are there so many shootings in Tianjin?

The 25th day of the first month, commonly known as "Valley Irrigation Festival", is a festival symbolizing the harvest of the Han people in the new year.

The "Warehouse Filling Festival" is also called "Tiancang Festival" because of the homonym of "filling" and "sky". There are two kinds of warehouses in Xiaotian. The 20th day of the first lunar month is Xiaotian Cang, and the 25th day of the first lunar month is God Cang, which is a traditional folk festival. Some people say that Tiancang Festival is a day of offering sacrifices to stars, while others say it is a day of offering sacrifices to the earth or grinding the gods.

The so-called warehouse filling is to fill up the barn. At the dawn of this day, every household scatters grain hoards of different sizes in their own yards or threshing floors, and puts some whole grains on the screened cooking ashes, symbolizing a bumper harvest of grains. According to folklore, the warehouse was filled on the 25th day of the first month to commemorate a kind and anonymous warehouse official.
