What are the specific Hakka folk customs

1, making tea fruit

On major festivals, such as Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, the female elders in the family all like to get together to make tea fruits, such as "Ciba", "sweet skin and salty stuffing", "Xi Zan" and "Xi Zan". Nowadays, this kind of scene is less and less common, and then to our next generation, it is estimated that we can only reproduce this warm scene from photos and postcards.

2. Wedding ceremony

The marriage customs of Hakkas are the most complicated, and they are also the most traditional in China. For example, before the bride enters her husband's house, there is a "rice screen" on her head, which means "there are thousands of eyes on the rice screen, and the house is full of brothers and uncles who are officials and make money." Don't think this is an old-fashioned way. Even when Tao Zhe, the king of music, got married, his wife had to wear a "rice screen" when she entered the door.

3. Worship the mountains and ancestors

Hakka people pay the most attention to ancestor worship, which is referred to as "hanging paper" locally. In the past, people used to worship in autumn, but now there are also two festivals in spring and autumn. Sacrificing ancestors is generally to sweep the graves of ancestors and distant ancestors first. In this case, the whole family or the whole village is dispatched together, and the scale is grand, and the team is often as few as several hundred and as many as several thousand; After that, the ancestral graves in every room were swept, and finally every family swept the private graves of their own families.

4. Holidays before and after meals

Hakkas like to be lively, especially there are many parties between relatives, so we all have such memories when we were young, and everyone went to the ancestral temple to have a "reunion dinner." As long as you bring your own chopsticks and benches, you can eat delicious food and meals casually, and the rich local customs make people miss it very much.

5. Lighting during the Spring Festival

In Hakka customs, lanterns are homophonic "Ding", which is a good omen for Gading. After the Spring Festival and before the Lantern Festival, all families with sons will buy lanterns to light them. If it is organized in the ancestral hall, it can also be lit collectively, in order to "light up".
