March 15th is a date with a few different origins and associated legends around the world. Here are some of the notable ones:
### In China:
March 15th is often associated with the Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival, which is traditionally celebrated on the 15th day of the fourth lunar month. The date varies each year on the Gregorian calendar.
#### Legend:
The Qingming Festival is rooted in a tale of filial piety. According to the story, during the Spring and Autumn period (771-476 BC), a prince named Jie Zitui was known for his loyalty and virtue. He resigned his throne to his younger half-brother, Zhuangzang, but his mother refused to acknowledge him. Jie Zitui went to the mountains to live in seclusion. One year, during the Qingming Festival, his mother, who was living in his mansion, became ill. To ensure her recovery, he went down the mountain to get firewood. Unfortunately, she passed away while waiting for him. Jie Zitui mourned his mother by building a tomb and then killing himself. To honor him, his descendants held a festival on the 15th day of the fourth lunar month to honor him.
### In Japan:
March 15th is also known as "Setsubun," a traditional Japanese festival celebrating the transition from winter to spring.
#### Legend:
The story of Setsubun dates back to the 7th century. According to a Buddhist legend, the god Jishnu appeared on this day to protect people from evil spirits. People would scatter roasted soybeans to ward off evil spirits and welcome good luck for the new year.
### In Christianity:
March 15th is also the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
