What are the customs and customs of Corban Festival? Corban Festival is a grand festival shared by my country's Hui, Uyghur, Kazakh, Uzbek, Tajik, Tatar, Kirgiz, Salar, Dongxiang, Baoan and other ethnic minorities.

During the Eid al-Adha festival, every Muslim household must slaughter at least one sheep, and some also slaughter cows, camels, and horses (Sak and Kirgiz ethnic groups). Those whose families are really poor also have to slaughter a chicken.

However, due to various restrictions, urban Muslims now have no choice but to buy slaughtered beef and mutton in the market.

As the Eid al-Adha festival approaches, housewives in every household become busy. They have to make a large number of fried dumplings and various exquisite snacks to prepare sufficient food for relatives, friends and guests from afar who come to celebrate the festival during the festival.

The grand festival is also a grand display and competition of housewives' craftsmanship and housekeeping virtues.

During the Eid al-Adha festival, everyone has to visit each other to celebrate the festival. Every time they visit a house, the host will bring a plate of stewed large pieces of mutton to the guests. No matter how full the guests are, they still have to try the host's mutton.

When relatives and friends gather together, people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, who regard singing and dancing as their food, will play the piano, sing songs, and dance. There is a happy scene everywhere.

After the big gathering, every family will go to the cemetery to pray, remember and bless their deceased relatives.

The early morning service on the day of Eid al-Adha is the largest service of the year. All adult men have to go to the local mosque to attend the service, and the scene is spectacular.

The most famous one is the big gathering in front of the Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar. After the gathering, the musicians climbed to the top of the door of the Id Kah Mosque, beat the nagra (iron shell drum) and blew the Sunai.

(Suona), the men in the square in front of the temple danced a passionate shaman dance.

The custom of the Uighur Eid al-Adha festival is the transliteration of Eid al-Arab, which means "sacrifice" or "blood sacrifice".

Before the Corban Festival, people have to make various preparations, especially the livestock that will be used as "sacrifice" must be purchased in advance.

On the morning of the festival, people perform "ghusl" by taking a full body bath, and then dress up and go to the mosque to attend the gathering.

After the gathering, the first thing people do when they return home is to kill animals and make blood sacrifices.

As for whether to slaughter cattle and sheep or chickens and geese, this is determined by the economic strength of each family.

Usually, after people slaughter the blood sacrifice animals and stew large pieces of bone meat into the pot, the men begin to pay homage to each other, while the women stay at home to stew the meat, put out festival food, and make tea to prepare for the greeting.

guest.

On the first day of the festival, we first pay homage to the folks who have experienced family difficulties such as funerals in the near future and express our condolences; secondly, we pay homage to the elders of the couple; and thirdly, we pay homage to our neighbors and elders.

In this kind of ceremonial festival worship activities, except for the elderly couples who go together as husband and wife, other festival worship activities are often carried out in groups of three or five, and men and women are carried out separately.

In Uyghur folk customs, mixing of men and women is generally not allowed.

After this, it’s time to say goodbye among relatives and friends of the same generation.

In addition to congratulating and greeting each other, everyone also had a meal and a drink, and played, played, and sang together for entertainment.

The Uyghur folk worship festival is an important part of the Uyghur people's efforts to strengthen social ties and strictly observe courtesy and reciprocity.

The custom of the Hui Eid al-Adha festival is "Aul-Adha", and its Arabic transliteration is "De-Gurban" and "De-Azuha", which means "sacrifice" and "dedication", so it is also called "Eid-al-Adha" and "Sacrifice Festival"

, "loyalty and filial piety festival", "virtue festival".

The Hui people in the mountainous areas of southern Ningxia and other places call it "Dale", and the Hui people in Yunnan and other places call it "Little De". It is one of the three major Islamic festivals and is generally held seventy days after Eid al-Fitr.

This festival falls within the ritual scope of the Muslim Hajj.

Islam stipulates that in early December of each year in the religious calendar, Muslims go to Mecca for pilgrimage. Celebrations begin on the last day of the Hajj.

Why do the Hui people sacrifice animals to celebrate the Eid al-Adha? According to legend, Ibrahim, one of the ancient prophets of Islam, dreamed at night that Allah ordered him to kill his beloved son Ismail as a sacrifice, which tested his piety to Allah.

Ibrahim sharpened the knife until it sparkled and was very sharp.

When Ismail lay on his side, he held the knife to his son's throat.

At this time, he cried bitterly and his tears were like streams.

The first cut only left a white mark on his son's neck, and the second cut scratched a little skin.

Ismail said: "My father, turn me over and let me lie down, so that you can make up your mind and obey God's command." Ibrahim listened to his son's advice and took him

When he turned over and then took off the knife and slaughtered hard, God was moved and sent the angel Jibrel to carry a black-headed ram as a sacrifice instead of Ismail.

At this time, Ibrahim picked up the knife, held down the sheep's throat and slaughtered it, and the sheep fell down.

From then on, Muhammad designated December 10th in the Islamic calendar as Eid al-Adha, which is the origin of the legendary "Gurban".

The Corban Festival of the Hui people in my country is a traditional national festival that has developed and evolved over a long period of time based on this religious origin: it has multiple and complex contents, which is very different from a simple religious festival, and the main content is no longer Then there’s the religious content.
