What will the Hui people do on Eid al-Fitr?

China is a multi-ethnic country, and the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups together form our present Chinese nation. Every nation has its own unique national culture, which conforms to the beliefs of local people and has been passed down for thousands of years, becoming their habit. For example, the Yi people have the Water Splashing Festival, the Dai people have the Torch Festival, and the Hui people have their own Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr is the most important event for Hui Muslims, even surpassing the significance of the Spring Festival. During Eid al-Fitr, they all bathe, eat, visit relatives and friends and worship their ancestors. Moreover, in the Hui nationality, they have different division of labor between men and women, and each has its own master.

First, women are generally preparing food for Eid al-Fitr. Before Eid al-Fitr, those women have to prepare fried food such as fried dumplings, and there is a competition. Whoever cooks dumplings well will have some face. If a woman can't trade stocks, then she will be laughed at and looked down upon by others. At the same time, after men go to the mosque, they will prepare some stir-fried dishes and some rabbit-ear Huimian Noodles at home, which is their tradition, and they will also take these things to their neighbors to taste. Let the neighbors express their opinions. At this time, they can talk and laugh together, resolve some usual contradictions and say some interesting things. Hui women are generally doing these things.

Second, on Eid al-Fitr, men have a lot of things to do. First, they must go to the mosque and wear small white hats to worship. On that day, there were many people and many ceremonies to be observed. They knelt in a row, listened to others' arrangements, shouted slogans and followed them. At this time, their behavior was much more complicated than usual. After they are busy with these things, there will be a donation activity to donate money to the local poor, so that they can feel the joy of Eid al-Fitr together, ease their lives and let the Lord take care of everyone who is poor.

On the day of Eid al-Fitr, there is another very important thing, that is, to worship the ancestors, to say a prayer of comfort first, and when it is over, the mosque will provide food to celebrate together. Every household has prepared food and shared it with each other. With the development and change of society, they added some elements belonging to the new era to Eid al-Fitr. They have lion dancing, walking on stilts, and some multi-ethnic things. In that festival, they were just full of cheerful atmosphere, and some people even got together to go to the garden.
