Fuzhou traditional folk custom

Besides traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many unique festivals in Fuzhou. On the 29th day of the first lunar month, Fuzhou will celebrate "Aojiu Festival" (also known as "Houjiu Festival", "Filial Piety Festival" and "Sending the Poor Festival"). )。 Early this morning, every household cooked glutinous rice and brown sugar, together with peanuts, red dates, longan, red beans, walnuts and sesame seeds, into "Oujiu porridge", which was used to worship ancestors and give gifts to villagers. The married daughter should send a bowl of "nine-year-old porridge" back to her family to honor her parents. There is a saying in Fuzhou that "every nine days must be poor". It is believed that if a person's age is nine or a multiple of nine, he should be as poor as possible.
