What are the Chinese New Year customs in Yunnan? What are the unique features of Yunnan's Spring Festival customs?

Besides the Dai people, there are other ethnic minorities in Xishuangbanna. Bulang people mainly live in Xiding and eight mountainous areas in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, and are one of the famous producing areas of Pu 'er tea. During the Spring Festival, many places will hold dances, which are lively and interesting. Participants form a circle. First, one person lifts a small ball made of bamboo into the air, then catches the ball in turn and lifts the ball into the air with his palm. Those who can't catch the ball will be punished for singing a song.

2. Qujing

In Qujing area, there are hardworking and brave Buyi people. Before New Year's Eve, every household smoked bacon, filled sausages, roasted wine, made glutinous rice Baba, popcorn, sewed new clothes and made handkerchiefs. Before New Year's Eve, fruits such as maltose will be sent to Kitchen God. Please write a pair and post a door god and a New Year picture. On New Year's Eve, the whole family, old and young, sat around the fire, first offering sacrifices to the world of their ancestors, and then the whole family blessed each other, had a reunion dinner and stayed up all night.

3. Kunming

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan provincial government issued an order, and the door gods were changed to Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang to express the determination of the Yunnan people to fight against foreign invaders. This "official will" won the unanimous support of the people, and the government also printed a large number of pictures of the door gods for distribution. For a time, the images of these two national heroes hung majestically on every door in old Kunming. Kunming has also retained this custom so far.

4. Yuxi

The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is said to be the day when Master Zao Jun went to heaven. Every household in Yuxi scrubbed the stove clean that night, loaded it with a small bowl of grain and chopped straw, lit an oil lamp, and sent the stove to heaven with incense lamps. In order to prevent the chef from exposing his dirty clothes to the jade emperor for punishment, people in his hometown often use white sugar made of barley malt as a tribute to seal the chef's mouth and make him speechless.
