Traditional festival - Sacrifice to the Zao: The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month (December) is called Sacrifice to the Zao. According to legend, this day It is the day when the Kitchen Lord ascends to heaven. The villagers pray that he will go to heaven and say good things so that he can come back on the first and fifth watch of the next lunar month and bring good luck. There is a couplet: "Go on the 23rd and return on the first and fifth watch of the lunar month." People who go out must rush back to report to the Stove Lord on this day. On this day, they eat Stove cakes and Stove candies, in order to reunite the whole family and live in harmony.

Traditional Festival - February 2: The second day of the second lunar month is a traditional festival of the Han people. Folks believe that this day is the day when the dragon wants to ascend to heaven, so it is called "Dragon Heads Up Festival" or "Green Dragon Festival". On this day, rural women generally do not use scissors or do needlework for fear of cutting the dragon's body with a knife. According to the elderly. This is to show respect for the dragon. During this festival, people go to the fields to pick wild vegetables, make dumplings, fry pancakes, fry soybeans, fry bacon, and steam jujube steamed buns. Improving life has become an important part of the festival.

Among the many customary food activities, the most people spread pancakes and eat fried beans on this day. Folks believe that this day is the birthday of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the pancakes are the afterbirth of the Dragon King. Eating pancakes is to feed the Dragon King, and throwing pancakes is to bury the Dragon King's afterbirth. The formation of the custom of eating fried beans on the second day of the second lunar month is said to be related to a folk legend.

According to legend, after Wu Zetian seized the throne of the Tang Dynasty, she changed the name of her country to Zhou and called herself Emperor Wu of Zhou. When the Jade Emperor found out, he was furious and ordered Taibai Jinxing to tell the Dragon King of the Four Seas that no rain should fall on the human world within three years. This has brought suffering to the people all over the world. People complained and couldn't help crying. The Jade Dragon in charge of the Tianhe River couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he drank enough water from the Tianhe River and sprayed it on the world to save all people. When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he knocked the Jade Dragon down to the mortal world, pressed it down at the foot of the mountain, and erected a stone tablet with the words: "The Jade Dragon's rainfall violates the rules of heaven and shall be punished by the human world for eternity. If you want to return to Lingxiao Pavilion, unless the golden beans bloom, "The people tried their best to save Yulong. On the second day of the second lunar month of this year, people discovered that corn and soybeans were golden and shiny, much like golden beans. If the beans are fried, wouldn't it mean that the golden beans bloom? So, it was passed down from one to ten, and each household fried a lot of corn and soybeans, some of which were offered to the courtyard, and some of which were brought to the Jade Dragon. The mountain that suppressed the Jade Dragon was the whisk of Taibai Jinxing. On this day, Taibaijinxing saw that the world was golden and thought that the golden beans were blooming, so he collected the whisk. The jade dragon then rose into the air and returned to the sky. At this time, it was the season when spring rain was as expensive as oil. The Jade Dragon ignored the Jade Emperor's prohibition and started raining again.

Since then, people have formed a habit. Every second day of the second lunar month, people have to fry corn and soybeans.

Handcrafts - Weaving: The wooden "pedal skew loom" is used as the main production tool, spinning float, winding machine, and spooling machine. The weaving process consists of the original two pedals. It was changed to the current four pedals. With the development of the times, we farmers spun the cotton we grew ourselves into cloth, and dyed the original white cloth into various colors. Nowadays, there is no need to dye threads. Instead, threads dyed in cotton mills are used to make various patterns. Plain weave, twill, plaid, jacquard and other fabrics can be woven.

Production procedures: 1. Get cotton seeds. In the past, our farmers used to remove seeds from cotton to separate the cotton lint and seeds, making it easier to card the cotton. 2. Rub cotton. Roll the seeded cotton into finger-thick strips to facilitate spinning. 3. Spinning thread. Shake the spinning wheel to spin the thread, and coordinate the movements of both hands to spin even lines and finally tassels. 4. Network line. Turn the spun thread spikes into thread tubes one by one, cover them with dilute flour soup, dry them, and wind them onto the coil frame. 5. Meridian. These wooden boards are called warp boards, with 75 iron pillars fixed on them. The thread bobbins are placed on these iron pillars in order according to the requirements of the pattern design. The patterns to be woven are placed in order according to the pre-prepared patterns. Because there are 75 iron pillars in the machine, only 75 threads can be fibered out at one time. Next comes the warp thread. The warp threader pulls out the threads on the spool one by one and holds them in his hands in order. The pulled threads should be put on the warp pillars in order. (The warp pillars are two rows of iron pillars placed opposite each other on the ground. There are 15 iron pillars in each row.) The pulled threads will be arranged around these two rows of warp pillars. , when the distance between the two rows of warp pillars is constant, the number of warp pillars is used to determine the length of the piece of cloth. Fix all the thread ends on the first warp post, and then use a wooden stick to put the thread in the thread. The pulled threads are put on the warp pillars in a zigzag shape, looping from the first warp pillar to the last warp pillar. The warp threads complete an important step here: each warp thread must be at the thumb. Complete the cross. This cross is the key to weaving. This cross should be maintained until the weaving is completed. After crossing, one warp thread becomes a pair of warp threads, and then the last two warp pillars are used to maintain this crossed state. Then pull the warp thread in your hand back along the original path, pull the warp thread back to the first warp pillar, let the end of the thread coincide with the end of the thread, and cut the end of the thread. In this way, the first group of 75 pairs of warp threads is pulled out. Because there are 600 pairs of warp threads in total, the bobbins need to be changed to continue pulling out other groups of warp threads. According to the same method, 8 groups of warp threads must be pulled out at a time.

After the warp threads are completed, the threads must be taken up. When taking up the threads, they must be taken up from the last warp post, that is, from the intersection of the warp threads. In order to maintain the original crossing state of each batch of threads, the cross holes must be tied with threads. , lift the thread from the last warp post, and then wind the warp thread into a large ball. 6. Take your head off. Pulling out the head means threading the silk basket, (缯缯 can range from the original thread silk basket, nylon silk basket to the current rigid silk basket), which is to let the warp threads pass through the round holes in the silk basket one by one. When threading, first untie the knots of the warp threads and straighten them out. Pass through the corresponding holes in turn. The upper layer of thread should pass through the front row of zheng, while the lower layer of thread should pass through the back row of zheng. Each thread should correspond to each zheng until all the warp threads have been threaded. 7. Pass the post. Use a thread tag to bend the thread ends that pass through the bamboo cable one by one, and then thread them on the special spool. 8. Brush the line. Use a brush to comb the lines evenly and then twist them onto the shaft. 9. Tie the machine. Commonly known as the loading machine, the brushed thread is passed through the bamboo pole, and after the threading is completed, it is firmly tied to the wooden inclined beam machine. 10. Making fringe tubes is also called making weft threads. The thread on the thread tube is twisted onto the ear tube with a spinning wheel. The thread tube is shaped like a spike with a thick middle at the two ends. Then it is threaded onto the shuttle to start weaving. 11. Weaving. The two feet step on the pedals in coordination, the two hands pick the shuttle, and the warp and weft threads are alternately intertwined, and the hand-woven cloth is woven bit by bit.
