1. Custom of Holy Water Festival:

The Holy Water Festival of Wudalianchi Volcano is a national intangible cultural heritage, which originated from the folk story of "the deer shows water" and has a long history of inheritance. It is the carnival of children of all ethnic groups in northern China and the largest folk festival in three northeastern provinces, reflecting the integration of multi-ethnic customs and multiculturalism.

2. Customs of storing vegetables in winter:

Every October is the peak season for purchasing autumn vegetables in Northeast China. People in the north often buy a large number of cabbages and radishes at this time, and process them or store them directly for the whole family to eat vegetables in winter. With the changes of the times, the folk custom of storing autumn vegetables is gradually changed by science and technology.

Cao Baoming, a well-known cultural scholar and folklorist in Jilin Province, said that this custom came from the regional culture of Northeast China. Because of the heavy snow in the long winter, people in Northeast China need to store food and vegetables, which is the origin of the earliest custom.

Extended information:

In fact, the custom of storing vegetables in winter in Northeast China continues to this day. In some farmers in Northeast China, rectangular cellars are still dug in the vegetable fields in front of and behind the houses, and dried cabbages and radishes with soil are put in one by one, and then sealed and covered with felt cloth. Turn it over and check it every few days throughout the winter, so as to prepare it for the whole winter, even until the next spring sowing season.

With the development of technology, most towns and villages in Northeast China have set up cellar vegetable storage bases. Most bases have changed the way of storing vegetables in cellars in the past to cold storage for vegetables and fruits, and they can also enjoy government subsidies. "The government has adopted a wide range of modern methods to store green vegetables, which has finally changed and ended this folk custom of storing autumn vegetables." Cao Baoming said.
