Why do forests in Sichuan celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival one day later?

In some areas, the Mid-Autumn Festival is on July 14th of the lunar calendar, while in others it is on July 15th of the lunar calendar. It is possible that many places in Sichuan celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival on July 14, while Lin may have emigrated to Sichuan and continued to be visited by his ancestors on July 15.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, together with the Cold Clothes Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day and the first day of October, has become the "three ghost festivals in China". The Mid-Autumn Festival is a legendary ghost festival. On the 14th day of the seventh lunar month (July 15th in some places), Taoism calls it the Mid-Autumn Festival, Buddhism calls it the Magnolia Festival, and folks call it the Ghost Festival, that is, July 30th.

Migration and distribution of Lin surname

In the pre-Qin period, Lin first moved in the area north of the Yellow River and east of Taihang Mountain. After entering the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Lin has spread to Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places. Shandong Lu is the first place where Lin was born. Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lin got the best development in Lu, forming the famous Lin family in Jinan. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Lin family in Jinan has always occupied the dominant position of the Lin family. During the Han, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was war in the north, chaos in the Central Plains and regime change. Lin moved around with the residents of the Central Plains, passing through southwest to Sichuan and southeast to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Lin had crossed the Yangtze River, crossed Nanling and Wuyishan, and entered Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian. Later, after the Tang Dynasty moved to Fujian twice, a large number of ancestors named Lin settled in southern Fujian, and the center of Lin began to form in the southeast coast. Lin appeared in Taiwan Province in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. San Sunhe moved to Beiluo Village, Putian, and later spread the Golden Forest, Jiu, Quexia Forest and Wufeng Forest in Taiwan Province Province. Lin Mao, a descendant of Lin Ge and Lin Qun, Ren Youcheng, an official of Sui Dynasty, moved to Beiluo, Putian (now Lin Leimeng, Xitianwei Town, formerly known as LAM Raymond). The 14th Sun Linping lives in Sima, Fengzhou. When Tang Taihe retired, he moved to Xianyou County and swam in the ocean, which was praised by the world as "swimming in the poplar forest". Lin Wan-chong's second son, Lin Pi, followed Mao Ze, who lived in Zunxian, Putian, in North Luo (now the end of the West Blue Gate) and moved to Tianwei Wushi, Zhu Cheng (now Longshan). Lin Bu gave birth to nine sons: Wei, Zao, Xie, Ye, Yun, Meng, Mai and Bi. The nine brothers are all bureaucrats, and this branch of Lin is called "Jiumu Forest" (Tang Jiumu). After the death of the "Jiu Mu Lin" brothers, they were buried together in a mound called "Jiu Mu Ling". In the early Song Dynasty, a branch of Youyanglin led by Lin Juyi rose up in Baizhangling, Youyang County, and was suppressed by the imperial court. Later, it moved to Taishun, Zhangpu and Youxi in Zhejiang Province. Chang Lin, the son of Lin Wanchong, whose real name is Maoji, moved to Longxi and Xianyou and traveled around the world. This branch is called "Youyang Forest". Later generations Lin Shi moved to Taiwan Province Province and settled in Wufeng, Taichung County, Taiwan Province Province. Putian Forest also moved to Wufeng Forest in Taiwan Province Province because of a tribe. Therefore, the Lin family in Putian is also the ancestor of the Lin family in Wufeng, Taiwan Province, and is also an important link for Taiwan Province compatriots to trace their roots and communicate with each other.
