Sanming customs and habits

Sanming is a city that has preserved many ancient folk customs. The twenty-four solar terms produced by farming society have gradually evolved into New Year festivals in Sanming. Especially in the vast rural areas, these traditional festivals will still be celebrated grandly. Besides the Dragon Dance Lantern and Lantern Festival Lantern, Sanming Dance Lantern also has the ancient "grass dragon" and the "dwarf dragon" which started in the Song Dynasty. Lanterns also have unique "tea-picking lanterns" and "lotus lanterns". On March 3rd, it is the custom to eat "Qing Qing Guo". Meng Dong in October, commonly known as "October Dynasty", is the birthday of Niu Wang. On this day, the villagers will give the cows rice wine and porridge.

Second, local operas.

Meilin Opera, commonly known as "Taining Opera", has a simple and rough artistic style, and almost everyone in the local area can sing several such local operas. Meilin opera has certain formulas in singing, reciting and acting, with many trades and fine division of roles. Singing is characterized by strong ballad, strong sense of rhythm, high tone and rough euphemism. The costumes are quaint and exquisite, and the makeup is often dotted with red dots between the eyebrows.

Daqiang opera is popular in Qingshui She nationality township in Yong 'an. It is characterized by "singing with a loud voice and singing with big gongs and drums", and its singing is high and primitive. It retains the clear ancient sound characteristics of Jingchu and has the unique local flavor of "coarse tune and major tune" in Qingshui Town.

Three. food culture

Shaxian snacks are light in taste, exquisite in ingredients, handmade, fine and complete in craftsmanship, and highly respected. Snacks have deep roots in Shaxian folk, and the most representative ones are: flat meat, steamed dumplings, dried duck soup, dried loach, tofu balls and so on. In Shaxian, eating snacks is a kind of spiritual enjoyment, full of nostalgia and interest. Summer is hot, a bowl of grass is frozen to get rid of the heat; In the cold winter, a few pieces of dried beancurd and a dish of Chili douchi oil make me feel hot all over. Street snacks are also a street scene in Shaxian County. While eating, they talked about all parts of the world, which was very comfortable from the local and street atmosphere.
