The customs of Guilin are a custom.

Among the ethnic minorities, the Zhuang nationality has the largest population, and more than 35% of the country lives in Guangxi. Traditional folk houses of Zhuang nationality like to live by mountains and rivers. Between the green mountains and green waters, there are scattered wooden buildings with people living above and livestock raised below. This is similar to Dong, Yao and Miao. But in the house of Zhuang people, the shrine should be placed on the central axis of the whole house. The front hall is used for celebrations and social activities, with people living in the wings on both sides, and the back hall is the living area. Life in the house is centered on the fireplace, and three meals a day are carried out by the fireplace. This is another unique way for Zhuang people. Zhuang people's clothes are mostly self-woven homespun with various styles. Women's wear is generally blue and black, with a collarless left-hand coat, a tight belt around the waist, slightly wider trousers corners, and blue, red and green silk and cotton edges underneath. Pants, coats, skirts, skirts have edges. Black towel on the head, embroidered shoes, earrings, bracelets, collars, and a colorful ear tube hanging on the left side of the waistband. Zhuang men often wear double-breasted shirts with buttons tied tightly with cloth. Sew a small pocket on the chest to match the two large pockets on the abdomen, and fold the hem inward into a wide edge; Pants are short and wide, and some are leggings; Wear embroidered headscarves and cloth shoes. Zhuang folk songs are particularly developed. Zhuang people, male or female, began to learn to sing folk songs at the age of four or five, and their parents taught their daughters, forming the custom of teaching songs in childhood, in youth and in old age. In rural areas, whether farming in the fields, chopping wood in the mountains, weddings and funerals, festivals or social love between young men and women, folk songs are used to express affection. In some places, even conversations and quarrels between family members are sometimes endorsed by songs. Singing has almost become an indispensable part of Zhuang people's life. Everyone can sing, everyone can sing. Therefore, the vast Zhuang township is called "the ocean of songs". It is called "the land full of keys" by the poet. Many famous singers have emerged in history, such as Liu Sanjie and Huang Sandi, who are called "Song Fairy" and "King of Songs". Because of the large population, Zhuang people have lived together with Han people for a long time, and even some Zhuang people's living customs have been basically sinicized, so the living customs of Zhuang people are very close to Han people in some aspects, but the traditional folk customs have been preserved. For example, in many places, Zhuang women immediately take buckets or bamboo tubes to springs and rivers to play "new water" for good luck. The men ran to the temple fair with lanterns to burn incense and paper. Some places opened the door, and the family gathered in the yard to pay homage to the East, wishing: "Oriental Italy is profitable every year, and this year is even better than last year!" On the first day of junior high school, Zhuang people in most places don't visit. People eat glutinous rice balls during the day and meat dishes for dinner, thinking that this can eliminate disasters and get sick. There are many taboos in senior one. It is forbidden to say unlucky things on this day. It is forbidden to use scissors, for fear of Chinese New Year, family members will talk eloquently and swear; Don't sweep the floor for fear of losing money. You are not allowed to take things outside the dry bus, and you are not allowed to lend things to others for fear of the outflow of family wealth. In some places, it is forbidden to beat gongs and drums for fear of disturbing ghosts and gods, but in some places, you can beat a man's tall cowhide drum, and you can hear it clearly for dozens of miles around. In many places, from the first day to the fifth day, a piece of hardwood has to be burned in the stove, which means that children and grandchildren will grow up and fireworks will continue. Killing is not allowed on this day. Pigs, chickens and ducks must be cleaned up a few days before the Chinese New Year for sacrifice and eating. From the second day of junior high school, relatives and friends began to visit each other. Especially a married daughter. Bring a few pounds of meat, chickens and ducks and other gifts, and go back to my parents' home for the New Year with my husband and children. The married sisters took this opportunity to get together and say goodbye. Besides the Spring Festival, the third day of the third lunar month is Tomb-Sweeping Day, which is also a song festival of Zhuang people. Tomb-Sweeping Day was influenced by the Han nationality. However, some Zhuang people also visit graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day on March 13, 14 and 26th, which is quite different from Han people. Strong people attach great importance to offering sacrifices to sweep graves, so the whole family will go out and bring colorful boards, meat, incense and paper banners to worship the ancestral graves. In Shan Ye, firecrackers came from time to time and lasted for a long time. There are white spirits floating on the hills, forests and bamboo poles at the top of graves, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. According to Zhuang custom, offerings must be eaten in the wild, and some places will be thrown away. Superstition believes that bringing it home will invite ghosts into the door. In many places, grand song festivals are held for the March 3rd song festival at the same time. In recent years, the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has designated this day as a festival for the Zhuang people. The first Song Festival was held in Nanning from 65438 to 0984. More than 700 singers from various counties performed on stage, making Tancheng a sea of singing and dancing in March. Even foreign friends have traveled across the ocean to share the joy of the festival with the Zhuang people. During this period, there are often superstitious activities such as offering sacrifices to gods and playing tricks. But more attractive are fireworks, acting, acrobatics, martial arts performances, dancing colorful dragons, dancing Cai Feng, singing tea-picking poems and other colorful entertainment activities. In recent years, new plays, movies and ball games have been added. However, most of the attention of young men and women is not in this respect, but in how to find the right partner through the concert.
