What are the customs of the Spring Festival in Guizhou?

1. Smoked bacon: Bacon is a special food in Guizhou. After killing the pig, put the fresh meat in a pickling tank, marinate it for a few days, take it out, then set up a shelf and smoke it with firewood. After a period of time, the meat will become bright and fragrant. ?

2, sweeping dust: sweeping dust is the year-end cleaning. In the past, every household in Guizhou had to clean up before the Spring Festival every year. According to the folk saying in Guizhou, in addition to sweeping away the dust, it is important to sweep away all "bad luck" and "bad luck", which is also the performance of Guizhou people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. ?

3. Ciba Fight: Ciba Fight is one of the important activities of Buyi people in Guizhou during the New Year, which is as important as killing pigs and is the prelude to the upcoming Spring Festival. Buyi people like to eat glutinous food, and the foods made of glutinous rice include Ciba, Huanggaoba, Qingming Ba, Baoguba, Lotus Leaf Ba, Erkuai Ba, Rice Flower and Flower Rice. But the most common thing is the necessary Ciba for every family in the New Year. Ciba-fighting activities are carried out together with the year-killing pigs, and the odd days of the twelfth lunar month are generally chosen. Buyi people have a saying that "killing single but not double", but its origin has not been verified, but gradually they are used to inviting relatives and friends to their homes in the last few days of the twelfth lunar month, killing pigs and making rice cakes together. ?

4. Catch-up: Although there is usually a catch-up every other week, the last "one" this year is completely different from the past, and the scene is different. Last year, almost every family rushed to buy all kinds of new year's goods, including food and play, especially chicken and fish. Chicken indicates good luck, and of course fish is more than enough every year! ?

5. Post Spring Festival couplets: On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household should post fiery Spring Festival couplets to celebrate and express people's good wishes to welcome the New Year and look forward to a new life. ?
