In 25, the first China Linyi Zhuge Liang Cultural Tourism Festival was held in the morning of May 21st in yinan county, the hometown of Zhuge. In the Zhuge Liang Park in Wolong Mountain Scenic Area, a large-scale cultural performance entitled "Mengshan Yishui is full of romance" kicked off the first Zhuge Liang Cultural Tourism Festival in Linyi, China in 25 and the 14th Zhuge Liang Academic Seminar in China. More than 1 experts and scholars from home and abroad, journalists from news media at all levels, representatives of travel agencies and merchants from all over the world gathered in Yinan to discuss the achievements of Zhuge Liang's academic research and Chinese culture research and the economic development plan of Zhuge Liang's hometown.

Yinan, which belongs to Yangdu in ancient times, is the birthplace of Zhuge Liang, a famous thinker and strategist in the Three Kingdoms period. Influenced by Qilu culture, he spent his childhood here, and when he was 14 years old, he went abroad with his uncle. Over the past two thousand years, his dedication after his death, his moral ethics of loving the people diligently, and his high wisdom of quick thinking have inspired and enlightened people with lofty ideals throughout the ages and become a valuable cultural wealth of the Chinese nation. In order to carry forward excellent national culture and develop advanced culture, Linyi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Yinan County Party Committee and County Government jointly held the first China Linyi Zhuge Liang Cultural Tourism Festival in 25.

in recent years, relying on the advantages of Zhuge Liang's hometown, yinan county has continuously developed Zhuge Liang's culture and launched Zhuge Liang's brand. It has successively built a series of cultural tourist attractions, such as Zhuge Liang's hometown memorial hall, Zhuge Liang's bronze statue, Zhuge Ancestral Hall, and Kongming Cultural Tourism Zone, which has turned rich historical and cultural resources and profound cultural heritage into a powerful "booster" to promote local economic development. This year's Zhuge Liang Cultural Tourism Festival combines the inheritance of Zhuge Liang's culture with the promotion of Yimeng's spirit, and implements the methods of government organization, market operation and mass participation. Cultural tourism and economic and trade activities sing in the same stage, transforming "festival culture" into "festival economy" and shaping a good regional economic image.

From May 29th to 31st, 214, it was hosted by the Propaganda Department of CPC Shandong Provincial Committee, Shandong Provincial Department of Culture, Shandong Provincial Tourism Bureau, CPC Linyi Municipal Committee and Linyi Municipal People's Government; The 7th China Linyi Zhuge Liang Cultural Tourism Festival, which was organized by the Propaganda Department of Linyi Municipal Committee, Linyi Wenguang New Bureau, Linyi Tourism Bureau, Linyi Radio and Television Station, Linyi Daily Newspaper Group, Yinan County Committee and yinan county Municipal People's Government, was held grandly. Spring Festival is the biggest traditional festival among the people, commonly known as "Chinese New Year". There is a folk saying that "it is the year after Laba". Generally, after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, every household cleans the courtyard houses, buys new clothes, buys gifts and prepares new year's goods.

New Year's Eve is the last day of the lunar year, commonly known as "year except day". Rural residents get up early in the morning, light a fire with bean stalks in front of the door and yard, commonly known as "cage smoke", and set off firecrackers to pray for the plague ghosts to be smoked away. On that day, every household posted Spring Festival couplets and door notes (those who have mourning at home will not post them for three years). In the afternoon, the whole family got together, drank farewell wine and had a family reunion dinner. At night, put a wooden stick horizontally at the gate, which is called the "door stopper" (local superstition says that this can prevent evil spirits from sneaking into the hospital). At night, every family wraps up jiaozi, and after wrapping up jiaozi, they chat about "guarding the old age". After 9' s, most people sit at home and watch TV programs, and a few people pay New Year's greetings or play cards together. Zero is the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year. Every household sets off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Most farmers set tables in the courtyard, light incense, light fires in the courtyard with sesame stalks, bean stalks or cotton firewood, burn paper and kowtow, worship the gods of heaven and earth, and then eat New Year's Eve.

On the first day of the first month, people often visit their elders, neighbors or relatives and friends. After the second day of junior high school, married women go back to their parents' homes with their husbands and children on auspicious days, commonly known as "leaving their parents' homes". From the second day to the fifteenth day of the first month, some villages organize dragon dances, lion dances, roller boating, stilt walking, yangko dancing and other activities, or perform some local plays.

there is also a folk custom of "inviting papers" (also called "inviting family"). On New Year's Eve, a altar is set up in the main room, with ancestral tablets, dining tables and tables. In the evening, we go to the cemetery to invite our ancestors back (to show the Chinese New Year). In the morning or afternoon of the first day, the spirits of ancestors who invited home for the New Year are sent to the cemetery, which is called "sending home".

The Lantern Festival has the custom of eating Yuanxiao (or jiaozi), sending lanterns and setting off fireworks. Every family steamed or carved carrot lamps, including "golden lamp" (steamed with white flour) and "silver lamp" (steamed with sweet potato flour), with yellow grass wrapped with cotton wool as wick and cooking oil as fuel. Candles are often used instead. After nightfall, you should send lanterns to your ancestors first. When you get home, you should send lanterns in front of the statues of heaven and earth (yard) or the kitchen king, door gods and other gods at home, and make dragon lanterns from grain hoards and grain tanks. Two lanterns are hung at the gate. The place where the light shines indicates that the New Year will be clean and free from insects and scorpions. Some people also send lights and burn incense at the crossroads, praying for smooth traffic and safe journey in the new year. Married daughters can't spend the fifteenth day of the first month at their parents' house, which is said that they don't look at their parents' lights.

The legend of February 2nd is the birthday of the land god. There is a folk custom of eating candied beans. In the past, people used to put paper flags in front of the land temple to worship sugar beans, but now it is rare. Some farmers use plant ash to draw a big circle in the courtyard, in front of the door or in the threshing floor, which means "Man Cang of grain" and pray for a bumper harvest of grain that year.

There is a custom of adding soil to ancestral graves in rural areas of Tomb-Sweeping Day (mostly before the festival). Now, due to the government's policy of returning graves to fields and protecting cultivated land, the addition of soil is mostly symbolic, leaving no tall graves. In the morning in Tomb-Sweeping Day, most people eat poached eggs or boiled eggs, and put cypress and willow branches on both ends of the lintel and the eyes of the stone mill. Children carry eggs dyed red, green and yellow to play. Urban residents and some young men and women in rural areas often go out for hiking and hiking. Organs, factories and schools organize cadres, workers and students to sweep graves and lay wreaths for revolutionary martyrs and carry out revolutionary traditional education.

Duanyang Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, commonly known as "Dragon Boat Festival in May". People have the custom of eating zongzi. The bamboo leaves are the main ones for making zongzi, followed by reed leaves. In the morning, we often cook poached eggs with plantain and dogtooth herb soup. Most people put mugwort sticks on the lintel and sew "fragrant pouches" for children to wear.

The Six Hundred Insects Festival in June is said to be the birthday of the mountain god. Herders purchase fruits, paper, incense and other things, go to the mountain temple to worship the mountain god, and pray that the mountain god will look after wild dogs (wolves) and other wild animals to protect the safety of livestock.

July 15th is also called "Ghost Festival". In rural areas, there is a custom of bringing offerings, incense and paper to the cemetery to worship ancestors. There is a saying "Ghost Festival on July 15th, People's Day on August 15th".

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a traditional festival (second only to the Spring Festival), also known as the "Reunion Festival". People who go out try to go home and reunite with their families. Before the festival, people often give gifts such as moon cakes and wine to relatives and friends. On this day, the dinner will be rich, and the whole family will have a reunion dinner, then eat moon cakes, enjoy the bright moon and enjoy family happiness.

On the winter solstice, farmers pay homage to their ancestors and eat dumplings. There is a saying that "eat noodles (strips) in jiaozi in winter (until) and in summer (until)".

The 23rd or 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is commonly called "off-year". There is a custom that "the official words are three (the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month) and the people are four (the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month)". On this day, people posted pictures of the kitchen king and couplets on the wall next to the kitchen pot. The couplets of the kitchen king were: "Heaven says good things; Returning to the palace is auspicious. " The horizontal batch is: "the head of the family." And offering candy and other things, burning paper, lighting incense and setting off firecrackers, sending the kitchen king to heaven.
