The custom of rain and solar terms in Guizhou

Protection of rain custom

On this rainy day, there is a very interesting activity in western Sichuan called "pulling bags". Ancient medical conditions were not good, in order to make a son or daughter grow up smoothly and healthily. Parents will pray for their children to see if their fate is good and if they need to find a michel platini. The purpose of looking for michel platini is to bring up the children with the blessing of michel platini. This move has evolved into a long-standing custom year after year, and it has been renamed as "pulling bags".

The collision and worship of rain customs

At dawn in the morning, there are some young women on the foggy roadside, holding their young sons or daughters hand in hand, waiting for the first passerby. Once someone passes by, no matter whether the other person is male or female, old or young, they should come forward to stop each other, hold their son or daughter on the ground, kowtow and send them away to be adopted sons or daughters for each other. This is called "bump into worship" among the people in western Sichuan, that is, whoever bumps into someone is who, and there is no predetermined goal in advance.
