What are the customs in Hunan?

Hunan is a multi-ethnic province, with 5 1 ethnic groups such as Han, Tujia, Miao, Yao, Dong, Bai and Hui. Among them, nine ethnic groups live in the world, including Han, Miao, Tujia, Dong, Yao, Hui, Zhuang and Bai. Most of the ethnic minorities living in the world live in western Hunan, southern Hunan and eastern Hunan. Tujia wedding is very unique. When a girl gets married, she should sing "Weeping Wedding Song"; when sending her parents, she should sing "Sedan Chair Song"; when the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber, they should sing "Congratulations Song" and "Worship Song".

Tujia people in Xiangxi spend three years every year, on the 29th (or 28th) of the twelfth lunar month, and on the 25th of June and the 1st of October of the lunar calendar. The Bai people in Zhangjiajie have the traditional custom of holding the Torch Festival on June 25th of the lunar calendar every year.

On new year's eve, a maple tree (or pine tree, chestnut tree, etc. ) It burns in the stoves of every household in rural Changsha, which is called "Niancai Lao". On the first day of the lunar new year, every family gets up with a crow, men, women and children put on new clothes, and the male owner with the highest generation burns incense and opens the door to set off firecrackers. This is called "going out of the sky", or making money.
