What are the festival customs in Guangxi?

1, dancing spring cattle

"Spring Cattle" is skillfully woven with bamboo pieces. Cow's head and horn are pasted with paper towels and painted with cow's eyes. The body of a cow is black cloth or gray cloth. Cattle dancers beat gongs and drums to perform in the village. Two people got into the bottom of the cloth, one was holding a bull's head in front, the other was bending over and swinging his tail behind, followed by a man with a plow frame.

2. Post Spring Festival couplets

Guangxi folks pay attention to sticking to the gods, and every household does everything by themselves, so Spring Festival couplets have the largest number and the most complete content. Sticking Spring Festival couplets in front of the gods is particularly exquisite, mostly words of admiration and blessing. The couplets on the gate are the facade of a family, which is particularly particular, lyrical or scenic.

3. Candy Sacrificial Furnace

Off-year, the kitchen god should be sent to heaven to explain to the jade emperor, so that the whole family can avoid disaster. The ritual of sacrifice on the hearth is to put candy on the hearth to sacrifice to the kitchen god, so that the candy can "stick" on the mouth of the kitchen god and let his sweet mouth talk well. After the night falls on New Year's Eve, firecrackers will be set off to welcome the Kitchen God.

Step 4 sweep the house and "dust"

After the Kitchen God Festival, we will begin to prepare for the New Year. All parts of Guangxi will choose dust removal from the early years, and there are bronzes to be polished at home, that is, year-end cleaning to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

5, paste New Year pictures, cut window grilles

There are all kinds of animal and plant anecdotes on the window grilles. Magpies climb plums, swallows wear peaches and willows, peacocks beat peonies, and three sheep (poplars) bloom Thai flowers. Stick grilles means that the New Year is getting better and better.
