What are the traditional festivals of the Li nationality?

The traditional festivals of the Li nationality are as follows: First of all, the Spring Festival is a grand festival of the Li nationality. Li people celebrate the Spring Festival as a New Year, from New Year's Eve to the fourth day. Lily calls January a year, which is the leisure month of China New Year and the beginning of the year. Second, the fifteenth day of the first month is the off-year of the Li nationality. On this day, there is a rich family dinner, and the whole family gets together to discuss the production activities or things to be done at home in the new year. Third, Tomb-Sweeping Day needs to kill chickens to buy wine, and worship ancestors and gods at home. Take wine, rice and vegetables to the ancestral grave to sweep the grave, weed and repair the grave and add new soil. Tomb-Sweeping Day, a Li nationality, usually pays a three-year new grave sacrifice, which is called "closing the mountain". Now some people, like the Han people, visit graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day every year; Some still "close the mountain". 4. (July 14 or 15) Ghost Festival is a day to kill chickens and buy meat to worship ancestors, and put incense on the road at night. Children put incense at home, as every household does. Every moment, incense sticks into incense and arrives outside the village, burning paper money to sacrifice ghosts. Li people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. During the festival, every household makes zongzi, and some Li people also hold some lively entertainment activities. 6. Li people think that cows are a symbol of wealth and good fortune. There is a "cow soul treasure pot" at home and a cow temple in the village. Every July (Li Li), the Year of the Ox, an evocation ceremony is held. On the day of the Cow Festival, we will build a cowshed, give the cows drinks to keep fit, and gather people to beat gongs and drums and dance happily at night to attract the souls of the cows and wish them a prosperous family. Killing cattle is forbidden in the Year of the Ox.
