What are the folk customs in China?

Folk customs in China include staying up late for the New Year, rowing dragon boats, playing with dragon lanterns, walking on stilts, putting up Spring Festival couplets, putting up New Year pictures, worshipping Seven Sisters and begging for cleverness. The following details are introduced:

1, dragon boat boating

Dragon boat rowing is an important custom activity of the Dragon Boat Festival. It has a long history and is a multi-person collective rowing competition. It is very popular in the southern coastal areas of China. After it was spread abroad, it was deeply loved by people all over the world and formed an international competition.

Step 2 play with dragon lanterns

Playing Dragon Lantern, also known as Dragon Dance and Dragon Lantern Dance, is a unique traditional folk entertainment activity in China. From the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, China has the custom of playing dragon lanterns in both urban and rural areas. After thousands of years of inheritance and development, playing dragon lantern has become a traditional dance with lively form, beautiful performance and romantic color.

Step 3 walk on stilts

Walking on stilts is one of the traditional folk activities in China. Walking on stilts, commonly known as tying firewood feet, also known as "stilts", "walking on stilts", "tying high feet" and "walking high legs", is a popular mass skill performance in northern China. In some folk festivals, dancers are often tied to their feet with long wooden stilts to perform.

4. Post Spring Festival couplets

Every Spring Festival, no matter in urban or rural areas, every household should take off beautiful red couplets and stick them on the doors to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, thus increasing the festive atmosphere. Another source of Spring Festival couplets is spring stickers. The ancients posted the word "Yichun" more and more at the beginning of spring, and then it gradually developed into Spring Festival couplets, expressing the good wishes of the working people in China to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters and welcome good luck.

Step 5 be smart

Coincidentally, the custom of China 18 years old is the custom of Qi Mei's birthday (July 7th). From the first day of the seventh lunar month to the seventh day of the seventh lunar month (seven days and eight nights), girls in new clothes beg for wisdom and intelligence from Vega in the yard, which is called "begging for cleverness".
