What are the folk customs in Wenzhou?

1. Printed books: On June 6th, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng claimed that God had given him a gobbledygook and designated June 6th as "Paradise Day". Books were precious things in ancient times. In order to prevent rare books from getting wet or being eaten by insects, the ancients "printed books" (also known as uncovering books) every year.

2. Taste the new: In the rural areas around Wenzhou, in the old summer and June, when the early rice appeared, every household in urban and rural areas held a "taste the new" ceremony to celebrate the bumper harvest. Farmers cook with new rice, set up a small table or coffee table in the atrium, put a plate of eggplant, a plate of beans and a bowl of new rice, recommend the ancestors of the gods first, and then the whole family began to eat "taste new wine."

3, heavy five: the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the traditional folk Dragon Boat Festival, commonly known as "heavy five" in Wenzhou. People not only eat zongzi, eggs and calamus, but also have a very lively activity, that is, dragon boat race.

4. Going up the mountain to bid farewell to my uncle on September 9th: September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival, which symbolizes the happiness, longevity and well-being of the elderly. In the past, during the Double Ninth Festival, children had the custom of sending "Gordon" to their uncle to pay a New Year call.

5, water ice bones at the end of October: At the end of October of the lunar calendar, reaching into the water has a biting feeling. This period of time is mostly cloudy and windy, and the coldest season of the year has begun.
