Introduction of Chongqing festival customs;

Compared with other parts of China, the folk customs of Chongqing people formed over thousands of years are similar, such as New Year greetings, watching lanterns on the 15th, worshipping ancestors in Tomb-Sweeping Day, enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, hanging wine, catching a temple fair, sitting in a sedan chair and flying kites. However, as there are five Tujia and Miao Autonomous Counties in Chongqing, these two warm and traditional ethnic groups have their own unique folk festivals.

The ingenious Tujia people have extraordinary talent in dancing. Every year from the third day to the fifteenth day of the first month, Tujia people hold grand sacrificial ceremonies, prayers and festivals. Men, women and children put on festive costumes and danced a cheerful and warm swing dance. For a time, my ears were full of drums and music, and my eyes were dancing. Brave Miao people have a soft spot for singing. The annual "Catch Autumn" is a traditional festival for Miao people's congresses to show their heartfelt wishes. Young men and women can also express their feelings by singing at the Autumn Festival.

Sacrifice, prayer and celebration activities Tujia people in Qianjiang area have large-scale sacrifice, prayer and celebration activities from the third day to the fifteenth day of the first month every year, during which they have to dance. During the grand event, it was very lively. Hundreds of Tujia people in Fiona Fang, men wearing Xilankapu and women wearing gorgeous clothes, came here in droves. In front of the wave hall, lanterns are decorated, and the wizard wears a crown hat and eight skirts around his waist, holding bronze bells and knives and conducting while dancing. Three guns were fired, drums and music were ringing, and suddenly songs were everywhere, and men and women were singing and dancing all night. "There are thousands of lights, thousands of people are empty, and a song is lingering."
