What is the folk custom in Guangxi?

1, Zhuang, Miao, Yao and other ethnic minorities in Guangxi keep the custom of making tiger-headed hats and shoes for their children. These hats are different in shape and full of childlike interest, and they all have the key element of tiger. At first glance, an embroidered hat of Zhuang nationality exhibited in Guangxi National Museum does not have a tiger pattern, but borrows the shape of a tiger.

There are many folk festivals in Guangxi. Generally speaking, there are dozens of big festivals and hundreds of small sections in a year. There is a saying that "the four seasons are celebrated, and there is no moon and festival". Festivals are rich in form and content, rich in local characteristics and distinctive in national characteristics, and are an important part of the cultural life of all ethnic groups in Guangxi.

3. Many traditional festivals in Guangxi have both the customs of the Han nationality and the customs of ethnic minorities. The predecessors called this "the same is different, and the difference is different." "It is a festival in which Zhuang Yao resembles Han, and the Han nationality resembles Zhuang Yao", which has strong Guangxi characteristics. Among them, the biggest festival is Spring Festival, followed by Ghost Festival on July 15, Gewei Festival on March 3, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival, New Year's Taste, Winter Solstice, Cow Soul, Cooking Stove, etc. There are festivals almost every month.

4. On February 2nd, the most famous one was the dragon raising its head to grab fireworks. Fireworks Festival is a traditional festival of the Dong, Zhuang, Miao and Mulao ethnic minorities, which is popular in Sanjiang, Longsheng, Rongshui and Hunan Tongdao in Guangxi. The festival lasts from the third day of the first month to the fifteenth day of May and the second day of February. The Fulu Fireworks Festival in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County is the most lively, and the main activity is to grab fireworks.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in Guangxi, the traditional customs passed down in memory of Qu Yuan included dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, preparing sacrifices and so on. Before the legend of Qu Yuan was widely circulated, the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival followed the taboo of bad days, focusing on health preservation and avoiding epidemics, which was mainly reflected in hanging calamus leaves and wearing sachets to ward off evil spirits, washing Chinese medicine baths, soaking cold wine and realgar wine.
