What are the traditional festivals of the Han nationality?

People living in Fujian and Taiwan must know that the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when married daughters return to their parents' homes. In western Sichuan, China, there is a festival where a married woman goes back to visit her parents every year. Today, the traditional festival of the Han nationality will introduce this humanistic rain festival to you.

Rain Festival is a popular folk custom of Han nationality in western Sichuan, and it is a traditional festival with great imagination and human touch. No matter whether it rains or not, it is full of rainy poetry like its name, and married daughters have returned to their parents' homes with gifts. Women who have given birth to children must bring canned meat, chairs and other gifts to thank their parents for their parenting; For those women who are not pregnant for a long time, their mother will sew a pair of red trousers for them and wear them to the next place. It is said that this will ensure that they can get pregnant and have children as soon as possible.

"Bump, worship, send off" Rain Festival Every day at dawn, there are some young women on the foggy roadside, holding their young sons or daughters, waiting for the first pedestrian to pass by. And once someone passes by, no matter men, women and children, stop each other, hold their son or daughter on the ground, kowtow and send them to be adopted sons or daughters.

This peculiar custom is called "bumping into worshippers" among the people in western Sichuan, that is, whoever bumps into them is who they are, and there is no predetermined goal in advance. The purpose of "seeing michel platini off" is to let his son or daughter grow up smoothly and healthily. Of course, in some rural areas, the custom of "bumping into giving gifts" still exists. In the city, friends or classmates and colleagues "give gifts" to each other, but only when they get together during the Chinese New Year and the holidays.

Another big custom of sending rain festival is that son-in-law and daughter go to send festivals to parents-in-law. Gifts are usually a cotton belt 10 feet long, which is called "Shoushou", which means wishing parents-in-law a long life. Another typical send-off gift is "canned meat", which is to stew pig's trotters, snow-capped mountains, soybeans and kelp in a casserole, seal the jar with red paper and red rope, and respectfully give it to parents-in-law. This is to express gratitude and respect to the parents-in-law who have worked so hard to raise their daughters. If it is wedding date, the newly-married son-in-law, her parents-in-law will also give her an umbrella in return, so that she can go out for a run, which can not only provide him with shelter from the wind and rain, but also mean wishing her a smooth and safe life journey.
