The Hui people’s New Year customs include Eid al-Fitr, sweeping dust, eating dumplings, inviting imams, eating steamed millet rice and stewed vegetables, steamed buns, etc.

1. Eid al-Fitr: The most grand annual festival of the Hui people. Other ethnic groups call it the "Hui New Year". Eid al-Fitr lasts for three days, and the first day becomes lively from dawn.

2. Sweeping dust: Sweeping dust is to clean the dust in your home. Choose a sunny day and sweep every corner of your home.

3. Eating dumplings: Serve the hot dumplings, open the pre-made Laba vinegar, and sit together as a family at the table, laughing and having fun.

4. Invite an imam: Hui people do not post Spring Festival couplets on New Year’s Eve, nor set off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve. Inviting an imam is a must for most families, because there is only one mosque and one imam in a village. , many people will choose to postpone the appointment of an imam until later in the year.

5. Eat steamed millet rice and stewed vegetables: The Hui people eat steamed millet rice and stewed vegetables on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month. The so-called stewed vegetables are beef stewed the day before. Add cabbage, vermicelli, fungus, etc. into the pot and stew until cooked, somewhat similar to Northeastern stewed vermicelli with pickled cabbage.

6. Steamed buns: Steamed buns are served at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, usually with meat fillings and vegetarian fillings. In the evening, noodles or eggs are eaten, symbolizing harmony, reunion, and happiness in the new year.
