The customs and habits of Dongxiang nationality

Dongxiang people maintain good bathing habits because of their religious relationship. There are "big nets" and "small nets".

When the guests came, all the elders went out to meet them. When guests enter the room, please go to the kang first, and then offer more exquisite tea. Sometimes rock sugar, longan or roasted dates are added to tea, commonly known as sanxiang tea. Dongxiang people generally don't eat with guests, but only stand on the edge of the kang to show their respect for guests. Male guests are served by the host and female guests by the hostess. Dongxiang people like to treat their guests with chickens, and the most grand thing for Dongxiang people is to serve whole sheep.

Men have always maintained the habit of "eating equal partners".

In dining, the old people don't eat, and the younger generation is not allowed to start work.
