Festivals have always appeared in our lives, and each place has different festival cultures. So what are the cultural festivals of the She ethnic minority? Let the editor tell you.

What are the cultural festivals of the She ethnic minority?

The She ethnic group belongs to the nomad ethnic group in southern China and is also one of the ethnic groups with a small population in my country. The She people speak Chinese commonly and have their own language, the She language, which belongs to the Miao-Yao group of the Sino-Tibetan language family. The She people love to sing, and the richness and variety of She songs reflect the customs and characteristics of the She people. The She people are scattered in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Anhui provinces in southeastern my country, and more than 90% of them live in the vast mountainous areas of Fujian and Zhejiang. The She people's New Year's Day, also called the Spring Festival, is the most solemn and lively festival of the She people. The She people start celebrating the New Year on December 24 of the lunar calendar with "Sacrifice to the Stove" and "Farewell to the Gods". Every family steams and eats golden glutinous rice cakes, which is one of the characteristics of the She people celebrating the New Year. There is a popular saying in She Township: "The glutinous rice is round and round, the fragrant sesame rice is sweet and sticky", which expresses the She family's wish to reunite and have a family life and have a sweeter life in the coming year. ? During the Chinese New Year, men rub straw sandals and do housework to show respect and condolences to women. Girls are busy weaving colorful silk threads into colorful ribbons to give to their lovers. The festival also holds cultural activities such as antiphonal songs, "size playing", mountain climbing competitions, and swing playing, which are full of festive atmosphere. ? The unique and interesting New Year celebration of the She people begins on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, housewives will dress up their homes to welcome the Spring Festival. Old people will warn children not to curse, not to quarrel, not to say unlucky words. On New Year's Eve, every household will post Spring Festival couplets on the big and small doors, "Good Grain" on the barn door, and "Prosperous Livestock" on the pig house door to express good luck and hope. In the morning, put a bowl of New Year's rice in front of the "Siming Zao Lord" on the stove, make tea, burn incense sticks, welcome the Zao Lord home, and ask him to spread good words to heaven and put away bad words, or let God take effect. A good thing, good luck will come from the lower realm? After worshiping the Kitchen God, we prepare the New Year's Eve dinner and gather the whole family around the stove.

The whole family has a reunion dinner and drinks home-brewed rice wine. They enjoy this sumptuous New Year’s dinner together and enjoy family happiness. This is the culmination of a busy year of work for the She people. After dinner, adults give out New Year's money to children. It is customary in the She family hall to light red candles all night long to celebrate the New Year, and the whole family gathers together to watch the New Year and welcome the Spring Festival. Staying up late on the New Year's Eve means ushering in a new year in which the sky will add years and people will live longer, and the world will be filled with spring and happiness. At zero o'clock on time, every family sets off firecrackers to welcome the Spring Festival, which is called "opening the new year". On the first day of the first lunar month, it is a new day and a new beginning. She people put on their new festive clothes early in the morning, and everyone is smiling. When meeting acquaintances, they should congratulate each other and wish all the best in the new year. Most people have candied kumquats (commonly known as "candied dates"). When relatives and friends come over, they first treat them to candied dates and say auspicious words: "Eat candied dates, good luck every year!" They hope that there will be a new atmosphere in the new year. Some She people People will choose to climb mountains to pray for prosperity in the new year. When it comes to mountain climbing, I have to talk about the Sheshan Mountains and Waters Scenic Area. Isn’t this the editor’s boast? She Shanshui Scenic Area has beautiful scenery and fresh air, and a five-year-old child can walk the entire journey by himself. It’s most suitable for a family trip. There’s not much to say but there are pictures and the truth. In the evening, there are activities such as lighting incense lanterns (making straw into a dragon shape and inserting incense) and lion hunting activities. People go to every house to dance lanterns to add to the fun and have fun. Really? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we open the door early, set off firecrackers, light candles, and install incense lanterns to bring joy.
