What are the customs of ethnic minorities during the Spring Festival?

The Spring Festival customs of ethnic minorities are as follows:

1. people in Xizang spent the Tibetan calendar year.

As soon as the Spring Festival is over, the Tibetan New Year will arrive. On New Year's Eve, people put on gorgeous costumes, grotesque masks, and played music with suona, conch and drum, in pursuit of a grand and grand "dance meeting". The boys danced wildly and sang loudly, indicating that they would bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, exorcising evil spirits and reducing happiness.

On the morning of the new year, women will pick "auspicious water" to wish good luck in the new year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household wants cook the meat to make butter tea, knead rice cakes and brown sugar into offerings, and put a few dyed ears of wheat and highland barley on them to show a bumper harvest. People also greet each other in the New Year. When relatives and friends get together, they present Hada to each other to express their blessings and respect.

2. Yi Spring Festival.

Yi compatriots choose festivals according to the Yi calendar. Some people spend the Spring Festival with the local Han people. In some areas, Yi compatriots set up pine trees in front of their doors and spread the floor with pine needles to avoid disasters. In other areas, pigs and sheep are slaughtered during festivals, and people visit each other and give each other meat and steamed buns. On the morning of New Year's Day, the first thing to do when you get up is to carry water home. They compared the weight of a bowl of water with that of yesterday. For example, the water is heavy in the New Year, which means that there is enough rain this year.

Zhuang compatriots in Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong and other regions celebrate the Spring Festival at the same time as Han people. On New Year's Eve, we should prepare meals for the festival, which is called "New Year's Eve". In some areas, people call it "Eating Festival", which means "old age" in Zhuang language. This indicates a bumper agricultural harvest in the coming year. Some of them also make paraffin cakes that are more than a foot long and weigh five or six pounds. A family with a small population can't finish a meal!

On the morning of New Year's Day, people get up before dawn, put on new clothes and set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year. Women are scrambling to go to the river or the well to "draw new water" and start a boiling life in the new year.

3. Daur Spring Festival.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, young Daur people in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region danced "Luzige Music and Dance" with rich national style all night. In the early morning of the first day, young people stopped with pot ashes and wiped each other's faces. It is said that this means hope for a bumper harvest and good luck.

4. Bai nationality's Spring Festival.

During the Chinese New Year, the Bai compatriots in Yunnan have a celebration called "Flying High". The so-called "soaring" is to use the whole big bamboo and put gunpowder in the cracks of the bamboo. After lighting, the whole bamboo can collapse into the sky and become a veritable "soaring".

In some areas, Bai compatriots, like Miao and Zhuang, are carrying out "throwing hydrangea" activities from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival. If anyone can't catch the hydrangea, give each other a souvenir. Those who lose the ball many times and can't exchange souvenirs will show their willingness to love.

5. The Zhuang people in Guangxi celebrate the Spring Festival.

The customs of Zhuang nationality in Guangxi are more interesting. Early in the morning, people went to their neighbors' gardens to pull out two or three green vegetables, indicating that they would unite and help each other in the coming year. On this day, young men and women dance "threshing dance" together. This popular traditional dance is divided into four parts: transplanting rice, catching water, cutting rice and spring rice, which is rich in rural flavor.

6. Yao people's Spring Festival.

Yao people who live in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan celebrate the Spring Festival, and there is an activity called "Farming Drama". On the first day of junior high school, girls put on beautiful flowered shirts, flowered skirts and exquisite silver ornaments, and boys also put on festive costumes and gathered from all directions. At the beginning of the rally, every three people worked as a group, one dressed as a cow, one with a plow and one with a hoe, and performed a "farm play" to welcome the spring ploughing and herald a bumper harvest.
