Brief introduction of Tujia nationality, dress characteristics and customs, and information in political books should not be too long.

Introduction: Tujia is one of the ethnic minorities in China, mainly living in Dalou Mountain, Wuling Mountain and Fiona Fang of Daba Mountain, located in Wuling Mountain area adjacent to Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou and Chongqing. After a large number of Han Chinese moved in, "Tujia" began to appear as a national name. Tujia people call themselves "Bizka", which means "local people". 1956 10 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China identified Tujia as a single nation through ethnic identification. 1957, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hunan Province was established; 1983, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hubei Province was established, followed by Youyang, Xiushan, Shizhu, Changyang, Wufeng, Yinjiang and Yanhe Autonomous Counties. The common languages are Tujia and Chinese.

Clothing features: Tujia men wear pipa lapels and their hair is wrapped around their heads. Women wear a left robe with two or three ribbons, and the sleeves are relatively wide. They like to wear all kinds of gold, silver and jade ornaments, but they don't have silver headdresses and silver collars like Miao people.

Tujia customs:

Domicile: Tujia people build houses in the mountains, usually diaojiao buildings, where people live upstairs and livestock are shut down downstairs. To build a house, you have to face the mountain and water. Generally, there are four pillars and three rooms, and the middle room should be set up with ancestral temples. Both the left and right rooms are occupied, mostly two small rooms, and they are called "the second room". There is a fire shop in front of the second room, and there is a kang in the middle of the fire shop for heating and cooking. There is an iron tripod on the kang. There is a kang rack hanging above the fire kang, which is used to dry kang supplies. Especially before the Spring Festival, it is used to dry kang bacon and sausage.

Funeral: Tujia funeral, the death of the elderly, most have to hold a grand funeral. Teacher Tu should be invited to preside over the selection of burial date and cemetery, and there should be one mountain and one mountain. During the funeral service, "paper money" should be thrown on the road, and iron objects are prohibited in the grave. Therefore, a person's relatives should dig a well and wait until the dead are buried. During the burial, please ask Teacher Tu to open the coffin, clear the coffin and "throw rice". When throwing rice, relatives knelt in front of the coffin and picked it up with clothes behind their backs. Some chewed the rice carefully, swallowed it on the spot, and some took it back to cook, indicating that future generations should unite and live in harmony and inherit the old man's legacy.

Festivals: Tujia people have a traditional festival "Catch the Year", which is celebrated on the 28th and 29th of the twelfth lunar month every year. This custom has been preserved in some villages where Tujia people live in compact communities. "April 8th" is a festival for Tujia people to send caterpillars. We should read proverbs from ourselves and pray that the crops will be free from pests and have a good harvest.
