What are the special festivals and customs of the Han nationality?

The origin of Han nationality's name: it is the main ethnic group in China. "Han" originally refers to Tianhe and Yinhe. The Book of Songs says: "Where there is Han, there is light in prison." Han people used to call them Han people because there was a Han dynasty in China, which was called "Huaxia" or "Zhu Xia" before. Traditional costume: The traditional costume of the Han nationality is Hanfu.

(Not modern fashion cheongsam and Manchu costumes in Qing Dynasty) 1644 After the Qing army entered the customs, a highly centralized government with Manchu as the core was established. The ruler ordered the whole country to shave their heads and change clothes (wearing full clothes and shaving full hair styles), which caused national anger, dissatisfaction and armed resistance. Subsequently, the Qing dynasty carried out bloody repression and armed slaughter, and Hanfu gradually died out. 1683, the Qing army entered Taiwan Province province and destroyed the rest of Zheng Chenggong. Since then, Hanfu has completely disappeared from the daily life of Han people. After more than 200 years of Manchu rule, today's Han people have gradually forgotten the gorgeous costumes they once had and become the only ancient nation in the world without their own national costumes. The "Tang suit", cheongsam, gown and mandarin jacket that people see today are not the national costumes of the Han nationality, but the national costumes of the Manchu nationality or their improved costumes.

? Due to the disappearance of Hanfu, robes and so on began to spread among Han people in the Qing Dynasty, and clothing styles became popular.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, men usually wore double-breasted shirts and trousers inside, long-breasted robes outside and a more elegant jacket, which was called "robes and mandarin jackets". Pants are set with an eight-inch wide waist. Later, Chinese tunic suit became popular, but in rural areas, people still wore robes, jackets, shorts and trousers. Today, there are still old people wearing robes in remote mountainous areas. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, women wore knee-length flared gowns and trousers. After the Republic of China, wearing an "axe collar shirt" is different from double-breasted buttons, large-breasted buttons and pipa buttons, while there are phoenix-tailed skirts and pleated skirts under the skirts. After 1930s, cheongsam became popular, but most rural women wore coats and trousers. Modern Han clothing is more western-style clothing. However, with the coming of 2 1 century, more and more Han people put on Hanfu again. This spontaneous movement of reviving Hanfu is usually called "Hanfu Movement".

Special festivals: Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Flower Festival (the birthday of Flower God), Chinese Valentine's Day (the day of beggars), Mid-Autumn Festival (Ghost Festival), Mid-Autumn Festival, Laba, and Hanyi Festival (the sacrifice of ancestors) on New Year's Eve.

? Music and Dance: Han people have a musical tradition, and Han music has a long history and unique creation. Before the Qin Dynasty, Han ancestors had created musical instruments and music, and invented musical rules. In the prosperous time of Han and Tang dynasties, Han music was good at singing and dancing; After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, opera music dominated. Nowadays, the world-recognized music rules, such as the five-degree law (which the Han people call the profit-loss dichotomy), the pure law and the average law, are all independently invented by the Han people, and their achievements, like the convergence of cars, have become the axis of world music theory.

Tea drinking: Han people drink tea, which is said to have started in the Shennong era and has a history of at least 4,700 years. Until now, China Han compatriots still have the custom of taking tea as a gift. Han people have various methods of making tea. China is the hometown of tea. Tea making and drinking have a history of thousands of years. Chinese tea art enjoys a high reputation in the world. The Tang Dynasty was introduced to Japan, and the Japanese tea ceremony was formed. ? Diet: Agriculture is the main food of the Han nationality, with wheat, corn and rice as the staple food, supplemented by vegetables, bean products and non-staple foods such as chicken, fish, pigs, cattle and mutton. Tea and wine are traditional drinks. People who live on rice are used to making rice into different foods such as rice, porridge or rice noodles, rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, zongzi and rice cakes. People who live on wheat are used to making steamed bread, noodles, flower rolls, steamed buns, jiaozi, wonton, fried dough sticks, spring rolls, fried cakes, pancakes and so on. Paying attention to and being good at cooking is a major dietary feature of the Han nationality. Through long-term practice, the Han people in different regions have adopted cooking methods such as frying, roasting, frying, steaming, roasting and cold salad, forming different local flavors.
