According to legend, the ancestor of the Shui nationality is a branch of Luoyue people, one of the "Baiyue" in Lingnan. The name of the Shui nationality first appeared in the documents of the late Ming Dynasty in China.
The traditional dwellings of the Shui nationality are dry-fence buildings, mostly made of fir and pine, and the roof is covered with fir bark or tiles. The building is divided into two floors, with livestock downstairs and people upstairs; Generally, there are three bungalows with bedrooms and stoves on both sides.
Most of the costumes in the aquarium are blue and blue. Men wear big chest robes and blue cloth heads; Women wear blue shirts, blue trousers and lace trousers, turquoise belts, skirts on holidays, earrings, collars, bracelets and other silver ornaments. Shui women are good at making a kind of embroidery called "reverse knot". They embroidered all kinds of exquisite patterns with the white horse tail wrapped in white silk thread, and the process was complex and fine. "Anti-knot" refers to the ribbon embroidered by shuttle knot method, which is composed of dozens of patterns with different shapes. It takes a capable woman almost a year to finish it in her spare time. "Folding hook" is a kind of double-pointed embroidered shoes, which is a treasure in aquarium embroidery.
There are many traditional festivals in the Shui nationality, the most grand of which is "Duanjie". The Shui people have their own calendar, and the "Lunar New Year's Day" is chosen from1February to February of the following year (equivalent to August to1October of the lunar calendar). It is a grand festival to harvest in the big season and sow in the small season, and it is also the end of the year and the beginning of the water calendar. Therefore, it is a grand festival to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, celebrate the harvest and worship ancestors. The main activities of the festival are sacrifice and horse racing. The two meals connected with "New Year's Eve" and "First Day" should be vegetarian, not fish and shrimp. During the festival, the sound of bronze drums comes one after another, melodious songs and lusheng tunes reverberate in the bamboo building surrounded by bamboo from morning till night, and the villages in the water town are immersed in the festive atmosphere.
The "fish cabbage" brewed by Shui women is a necessary dish at festival banquets. According to legend, this dish was originally used to treat diseases, but now it has lost its meaning of treating diseases, and it retains the good wishes of wishing everyone good health and safe life.
