Respondent: Master Chamoxuan - Born with Jinshi Level 6 7-26 18:43 Reflects the customs and habits of the Miao people's economic life and production activities. Such customs include the "New Eating Festival" in southeastern Guizhou and so on. These grand festivals with a strong national style vividly reflect the material exchanges, economic connections and agricultural farming within the Miao people and between the Miao people and people of other ethnic groups. They are full of life and play a positive role in the production of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery. . In terms of food and living, the Miao people also have different customs and habits due to their different natural environment and economic life. For example, the Miao people are accustomed to eating glutinous rice. In order to help digestion, they also like to eat sour products. Most of the Miao people live in the southwest mountainous areas. Due to the hot, rainy and humid climate, they like to live in stilt buildings and so on.

The Miao people like to live in groups, and most of them are located in remote mountainous areas far away from the city. They live in village units, and there are very few villagers and villages with official ethnic groups. The Miao people have many festivals, but the names and ways of celebrating them vary from region to region. Yibadu celebrates the Spring Festival (also known as the Hakka New Year). During the New Year, some Miao people feed their cows with glutinous rice, stick red paper on their horns, and rush to the well to "look in the mirror" for the cows. In addition, festivals such as Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, July 15th, Autumn Festival (beginning of autumn), August 15th, and New Eating Festival (when rice and corn are mature) are also celebrated. Some Miao people in Pengming and other places hold lively bullfights on the first day of autumn in July and the fifteenth day of August. "Stepping on the Flower Mountain" in the first month of every year is the most grand traditional festival of the Miao people in the province. "Qingmiao" calls "Stepping on Huashan" "Aodao", and "Hongmiao" calls "Hundao", which means "Han Slope". The festival is jointly sponsored by two or three families; the organizer is called "You Hou Dao" and is usually a person who has no heirs and prays for an heir. Before the festival is held, the organizer is responsible for planting a colorful flower pole (mostly dragon bamboo) about two or three cents high on the selected Huxuanba slope, and displaying fine wines in the Huashan Field. By then, men and women from villages near and far will come to participate. The festival is extremely rich in content. Young men and young girls singing folk songs due to each other and choosing a couple are the main contents of the Huashan Festival. In addition, young men perform Lupeng dance, bullfighting, lion dancing and other activities, which last for several days and are extremely lively. The Miao people also have many traditional religious festivals. Some Miao people kill pigs on the second, fourth and sixth day of the first lunar month to offer sacrifices to the door, which is called "sacrifice to the door leader" or "fire dragon pig" sacrifice. On the day of the pig, a bucket is hung outside the door. Outsiders and women are not allowed to participate, and the Han people are not allowed to peek. This part of the Miao people believe that only by sacrificing the owner of the door can they get the blessings of their ancestors. The Miao people in the Hekou area will hold a village-wide "dragon sacrifice" on the second day of February. During the festival, each family sends a man to participate, and women are strictly prohibited from participating, in order to pray for good weather and abundant harvests in the coming year. Wenshan "Pianmiao" will worship the Earth God on June 24th; in the first month or February and March, the entire village will worship Mars (the God of Fire) on the hillside next to the village. During the sacrifice, the Demon Lord presided over the ceremony, and the Demon Lord led a sheep or dog and recited a mantra. After the recitation, everyone killed the sheep or dog with stones, cooked it and ate it. This ritual prayed that no fire would break out in the village. The Miao people are sincere, trustworthy, frank and hospitable. During the New Year Festival, "Pangengu" is popular - visiting relatives. Whenever a distant guest comes, they must entertain them with good wine. If they are relatives, they must give gifts when they come, and the host will do the same at the same time.
