Information on expanding Tujia culture
1, it's New Year.
Tujia people celebrate the New Year one day earlier than Han people, that is, on the 29th and 28th of the twelfth lunar month, so it is called "catching up with the New Year". It is said that during the Jiajing period, Tujia people received an imperial decree from the court at the end of the year to help suppress the enemy in Susong. In order not to delay the fighter plane, Tujia people decided to see off the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers for the New Year one day in advance.
Because Tujia officers and men rushed to the front line in time, they made outstanding achievements and won the "first meritorious service in Southeast China". In order to commemorate this meaningful day, it has become the custom of future generations to celebrate the New Year one day in advance. Others say that Tujia ancestors were poor at home, and in order to avoid the rich man's year-end debt, they quietly celebrated the New Year one day in advance. This statement also has a certain basis.
2. Sheba Day
Tujia Sheba Festival is a unique festival of Tujia people. "Sheba" means "wave" and "day" means "doing". In Tujia language, the verb-object inversion, "Sheba Ri" is literally translated as "waving" and freely translated as "waving dance" in Chinese.
It is an activity for Miao and Tujia people to offer sacrifices and pray, which is usually held on the first day of the New Year's Day. Now it has developed into a comprehensive folk activity such as offering sacrifices, praying, singing and dancing, socializing, sports competition and material exchange.
Tujia people in the wave activities recall the hardships of their ancestors' pioneering work, cherish the memory of their ancestors' achievements and show the life scenes of Tujia ancestors. The whole activity has a strong trace of ancestor worship.
