What are the folk customs in Foshan?

Sugarcane: In Foshan, the best-selling food in Tomb-Sweeping Day should be Qingming sugarcane. It is very important for Tomb-Sweeping Day to eat sugar cane, that is, to eat sugar cane at the grave after ancestor worship, and then throw bagasse there after eating, so that the ancestors can know that everyone is worshipping him and hope that he will bless future generations.

Barbecue: golden pig worships ancestors, which means red skin, strong body and ambitious. Usually, after buying a roast pig, a large piece will be given to each family. Pig heads and pork are evenly matched, and no matter whether they are rich or poor, each family will never fail. There is a famous thing about sharing pork, that is, regardless of the size of their own ancestors, they will be distributed to everyone equally, without favoritism.

Qingming willow: Foshan has the custom of inserting willow in Qingming. This custom is to commemorate the minister of Jin Dynasty, Jie Zitui. Jiezitui set himself on fire under the willow tree to celebrate Zhi Ming. The next year, the old willow tree came back from the dead. Jin Wengong named the old willow "Qingming Willow", and on the spot, he broke off the willow and put it on his head to show his memory. Since then, officials and people have followed suit and followed suit. Three days before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, people in Foshan will plant a Qingming willow in front of their home to wish them peace at home.
