1, catching up with the Spring Festival is a traditional festival of Tujia people. The time to catch up with the Chinese New Year is the day before the Han Chinese lunar calendar, that is, the 29th of the big month and the 28th of the small month.

2. Celebrating the New Year, held on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, is a traditional festival of Tujia people in western Hubei, western Hunan and eastern Guizhou. Celebrating the New Year means celebrating the New Year one day in advance.

3. Wang Xiang Festival is a traditional folk festival in Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, Hubei Province, which is held every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. On this day of the festival, when sailing to Xiangwang Temple, all boatmen and platoons will set off firecrackers and stop at the port to commemorate Gu Yujun's contribution to opening up the Qingjiang River. People also hold sacrificial activities, kill chickens and make confessions, burn incense and light candles, and pray for Wang Pingan.

4. Marry the Caterpillar Festival. On the eighth day of April, we celebrate the festival of "Marrying a Caterpillar", which is also called "to respect your grandmother". At that time, the family used two pieces of red paper, which read: "Buddha was born on April 8, caterpillar is married today, married out of the mountain, and never comes home", and so on, thinking that this would drive away pests and ensure peace in the four seasons.
