Who knows the customs of Putian people and their changes?
Looking back at history, we can clearly understand that Putian was founded by-> Fujian people; Fujian and Vietnam->; This historical process of the Han nationality determines the richness of her folk culture, which not only inherits and develops the ancient customs of the Min nationality and the Min-Yue nationality, but also accepts and integrates a large number of foreign customs and habits, especially after being included in the Han family, which makes it possible for her to enter the forest of famous etiquette. Therefore, from the overall perspective of Xinghua folk customs, there are both folk customs consistent with the Han nationality and unique customs and etiquette with distinctive regional characteristics. The Spring Festival is the biggest folk festival in Xinghua. Most relatives who are far away from home go back to their hometown to reunite with their families and enjoy family happiness. The Spring Festival lasts for five days, commonly known as "five years old". Its custom is: On New Year's Eve, after midnight, every household will set off firecrackers, which is called "Ryan". On the first day of the first lunar month, every household worships their ancestors with noodles and "fumi" (dried rice); After the sacrifice, the noodles are cooked and each person has a bowl, which means "long life". When eating noodles, don't drink noodle soup at the first bite. There is a saying that "drink noodle soup early on the first day of the first month, and don't do it when you go out." After eating noodles, relatives and friends pay New Year greetings to each other, and the host pays New Year greetings to the guests with oranges, melon seeds, candy and "birthday noodles". On that day, people go to towns or mountain villages to visit places of interest, which is called a spring outing. On the second day of the second lunar month, people are afraid to visit each other. This custom originated in the forty-first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1562), when the enemy was trapped in the city and many people were killed. It was not until the first day of the first month that the thieves retired, and the refugees returned home to pick up their relatives and friends in distress. All the visitors were mourners. Therefore, this day became an unlucky day, and they were forbidden to communicate. However, anyone who has been to the first day of the month will not commit this taboo. On the third day, because the second patio door was closed on the first day, it was not until early on the third day that the worship god opened the well door to draw water. The merchant who opened the shop opened the door early that day. On this day, the newly-married woman, accompanied by the groom, went back to her family to pay New Year's greetings. In Xianyou, this day is still "the tenth day", and friends and relatives are in an endless stream. Birthday gifts generally include noodles, eggs, fireworks, candles (women need pollen to make ten), cloth, shoes and hats, nave and so on. And the quantity is a little particular. On the fourth night, I did "Older". This custom originated from the Japanese invasion of Xinghua, where people fled and did not spend their "old age" at home. On the first day of the following year, they returned home, buried their relatives and friends who died, and made up the "New Year's Eve" on the fourth day, commonly known as "Lao Nian". In Xianyou, it is the fifth day of "old". The fifth day is the same as the first day. Everyone has a bowl of noodles for breakfast, and then they go for a spring outing or visit relatives and friends. On the fifteenth day of the first month, it was called Shangyuan Festival in ancient times, commonly known as Lantern Festival, and it was also the end day of ancient folk drums (since December 16th). Lantern Festival is an important folk festival in Putian, which is bigger than the Spring Festival and lasts for a long time (because the time in each village is different, the earliest eighth day is the 29th day of the first month). Before liberation, on the Lantern Festival night, the village's palace society decorated lanterns, set up a "banquet table", folded cakes, and the villagers carried bodhisattva statues. The parade circled the country once, and the home was.
