When the bride sits happily, there should be a cushion in the middle of the bed for sitting happily, which is a key point in the layout of the wedding room.
2. Enshi: Killing pigs and snoring in the New Year.
Enshi is inhabited by Tujia, Miao, Dong and other ethnic minorities. The national culture here is like a wonderful flower, showing its unique charm.
The preparations for the New Year in Enshi probably began after the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. Almost every family will kill pigs, and when they kill pigs, they will invite their neighbors to their homes to eat, which is also the time that children expect.
In addition to killing pigs, it is playing rice cakes. The glutinous rice just out of the pot is delicious. Put it in a printing box, and then press it hard, and it becomes round glutinous rice with many beautiful patterns. Every household in Enshi has Yin He with different designs, as well as the words Fulu Xi Shou.

On New Year's Eve, Wuhan people will put up couplets, paste blessings, stick grilles, worship ancestors and have a family reunion dinner. The whole family will sit around and hum while eating until the bell rings. Firecrackers will be set off at 0: 00, and the younger generation will pay New Year greetings to the elders, who will give them the prepared lucky money.
At dawn on the first day of the first month, as soon as the whip is released, you can go out with the door half open (leave one end of the money paper on the door). I went out to pay a New Year call.
New Year's greetings in Wuhan are also exquisite. On the first day, I visited my grandparents' uncle. The next day, I worshipped my grandparents; In-laws who worship their wives on the third day; Visiting relatives and friends on the fourth day; On the fifth day, it was the birthday of the God of Wealth, and the shops resumed business to pick up the God of Wealth (quite a few businessmen went to Guiyuan Temple to burn incense and pray for the wealth of the New Year). Dumping the garbage piled up on the sixth day of the sixth day is called "sending it to the poor".

In Huanggang, on New Year's Eve, people put up couplets in the morning, keep old at night, and set off fireworks to celebrate at twelve o'clock in the evening. From midnight to dawn, there are almost fireworks, and the noise comes and goes!
As for the schedule of Chinese New Year, the custom in Huanggang area is to pay a New Year call in one's own village on the first day of New Year's Day, and to pay homage to grandpa and uncle the next day. You can't wash your hair and take a bath, you can't sweep out the garbage at home, and you can't break ground on the first day. But also eat the leftovers from the New Year's Eve dinner to show that there is still more than one year.
5. Huangshi: You can't eat the fish with the "Three Holies" reunion dinner.
The Spring Festival in Huangshi basically begins on New Year's Eve. On this day, the whole family got together and had a sumptuous reunion dinner. New Year's Eve generally uses "three complete" (whole chicken, whole fish and whole duck), "three high" (fish cake, meat pie and mutton cake) and "three bowls" (fish balls, meatballs and lotus root balls). In recent years, people put a hot pot in the middle of the table, which is steaming, adding a festive atmosphere.
Dinner time is mostly before dark, but also in the evening. Before eating, people light firecrackers outside the door and then close the door to prepare for dinner.
Everyone sits around the dinner table. Old people should worship their ancestors first, put some bowls and chopsticks on them and invite them to sit down. After the ancestor worship ceremony, everyone began to eat around the table. Not allowed to eat fish for more than a year in order to pray. The family ate and chatted, laughing and laughing.
