What are the three major festivals of Dongxiang nationality?

Dongxiang people also have three major festivals, namely Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and Shengji. You must take a bath first on holidays, and keep your hands, face and whole body clean at ordinary times, which are divided into big nets and small nets.

Every year on March 31st of the lunar calendar, it is the traditional Ashura Festival (food festival) of Dongxiang nationality. This festival is mainly a gathering of women and children (men only attend prayer ceremonies). The annual food festival is particularly lively. In addition to eating oil cakes and steamed bread (weighing two kilograms), we should also eat particularly delicious meat porridge, that is, mixing wheat, highland barley, broad beans, lentils, corn and shredded pork in broth, sticky, and then soaking in oil cakes, which is very delicious.
