Festival customs in Long 'an Town
In addition to celebrating the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Spring Festival in February, Tomb-Sweeping Day in March, the eighth day of April, the fifth day of May, the fourteenth day of July and the fifteenth day of October (Mid-Autumn Festival), Longan people also set up "village festivals" with their own characteristics in each village. Some villages share a "village festival", while others live alone. Popular festivals are generally celebrated only by one's own family, while the "village festival" is more solemn and lively, inviting relatives and friends to celebrate together.

The "village festival" embodies the simple local customs, strong customs and warm hospitality of the people. During the "Village Festival" festival, the festive village was full of excitement, with clean rooms and houses everywhere. Adults and children are in high spirits, put on new clothes, buy fish, kill chickens and ducks, brew pure rice wine, prepare banquet-like recipes and entertain guests warmly. There are hundreds of people in Kelai family. You invited me to your festival, and you were invited to my festival. People regard the "country festival" as a good opportunity for friends and relatives to get together. Before and after tea, talk about family friendship, production and life, local conditions and customs, social changes and so on. There are more than 30 "village festivals" in the town. Here are some examples:

Hakkas in Lianhua Village, Gao 'an, Rongshan, Taihe and Longping celebrate the Winter Solstice Festival. There are 2 1 nature huts to celebrate this festival (12 nature huts in Lianhua Village all celebrate the winter solstice festival).

The origin of "Winter Solstice Festival" roughly means that winter has arrived, and winter is the last season of all seasons. This is a fruitful sister, and the crops planted by farmers such as rice, corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans and peanuts have all been harvested home. One year is coming, and there is less farm work. It's time to hold a banquet and enjoy the harvest. At the same time, we should do a good job in planting vegetables and rapeseed in winter and pray for happiness in the coming year. Therefore, the ancestors of Hakkas in Long 'an area designated the annual solar term "Winter Solstice Day" as the unique "village festival" of Hakkas. "Winter Solstice" is a day in late February of the new calendar year 65438.

"Peace Festival" refers to "Fujian people" (people who moved from Fujian speak Minnan dialect. Celebrated festivals are divided into "Peace Festival" on October 15th of the lunar calendar and "Peace Festival" on November 15th of the lunar calendar. The first Peace Festival was celebrated by Fujian people in Longping (with 13 villages), and the second Peace Festival was celebrated by Fujian people in Longfeng (with 19 villages).

As for the origin of "Peace Festival", there are several explanations. A more reasonable explanation is that in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Japanese pirates and local pirates ran rampant along the coast of Fujian, plundering people's property. In this case, some poor people were forced to flee with their families to Longan area in Luocheng, Guangxi, a mountainous area in the south, to resettle, cultivate land and live a safe life. Some live in Longping Village (mainly with surnames such as Ou, Shen, Lin and Huang), while others live in Longfeng Village (mainly with surnames such as He, Zheng, Ou, Zhang, Lin, Li, Guo and Lai). Therefore, in winter, Fujian people in Longping and Longfeng regard October 15th and November 15th of the lunar calendar as their own "village festivals", that is, Peace Festival. Another way of saying this is that the "Luocheng County Records" published in 1980s introduced the origin of the Peace Festival.

There are many "village festivals" celebrated by Zhuang people, but "the sixth day of July" is divided into villages.

Zhai Zhangtun and Gan Yuan Tun celebrate the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

The manuscript has passed "September 28th of the lunar calendar", and the underground building of Wuhua Village has passed "September 13th of the lunar calendar". These festivals are temple fairs, and the day when the temple was built in the village was designated as the "village meeting".

Dongnan Village and Naleng Village, where Dong people live in compact communities, celebrate the "Fish Festival" (October 12th of the lunar calendar). There used to be fish food on the table, including pickled fish, boiled fish, fried fish, fried fish and grilled fish. In addition to fish, there are chickens, ducks, pork and beef in the new society.

The origin of the "Fish Festival" is said that a long time ago, the ancestors of the Dong nationality were falsely accused and framed by bad people, and the government was convicted and sentenced for three years, and then acquitted. On the day I came back, all the villagers came to visit. My family went back to their fish pond and caught some fat carp to eat. They brought the rice wine they brewed to give him a good meal. This day is October 12 of the lunar calendar. In order to commemorate and clarify the grievances of ancestors, it is convenient for Dong people to celebrate the "Fish Festival" by eating fish on 10/2 every year. This custom has been passed down from ancient times to the present. In the new society, people celebrate the "Fish Festival". Besides their relatives, friends from all ethnic groups also come to celebrate this festival, which enhances the unity and friendship between the Dong people and all ethnic groups.
