Characteristics and customs of Han nationality

First, the twenty-four solar terms of the Han nationality

The twenty-four solar terms are an important part of the Han Chinese calendar in China, and their formation and establishment are closely related to the agricultural production customs of the ancient working people of the Han nationality in China. With the change of climate throughout the year, the content of farming and farm work also changes. The meaning of the names of the 24 solar terms clearly reflects this point. Until now, Han farmers in China are still used to farming and arranging farm work according to solar terms.

Second, the marriage customs of the Han nationality.

The marriage customs of the Han nationality in China have a long history and are full of national color. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a complete set of etiquette has been formed, namely "drawing lots", "asking names", "accepting oneself", "accepting levies", "inviting guests" and "welcoming relatives", which are called "Six Rites".

Third, the religious customs of the Han nationality.

As a traditional religious belief of Han nationality in China, Taoism has always been an important ideological trend in the history of China. Of course, this trend of thought has also flowed into the vast minority areas, which has a wide influence on Yao, Achang, Bai, Maonan, Mulao, Tujia, Zhuang and Buyi.

Traditional ideas of Han nationality

The concept of country in ancient Han nationality is also related to the concept of family. The so-called world of one family and one surname is actually an infinite expansion of the concept of paternal family. The emperor is regarded as the "son of heaven" and "your father", and the people are regarded as "people".

The moral standard under this system holds that filial piety is the basis of loyalty, and loyalty is the highest requirement for filial piety. At the same time, all interpersonal theories are based on the philosophy of "the concept of destiny", and safeguarding the rule of imperial power and the order of all wealth and dignity is the embodiment of destiny.
