First, the origin of the custom of beating Ciba

The origin of Ciba can be traced back to the ancient farming society. At that time, in order to celebrate the harvest and express gratitude for the land, people would make Ciba on important festivals such as the Lunar New Year. Ciba is a kind of food cooked with glutinous rice. Because glutinous rice is sticky, it tastes soft, glutinous, sweet and delicious after being cooked.

With the passage of time, Ciba has gradually become a unique custom, which is not only made during festivals and celebrations, but also appears on important occasions such as weddings and birthday banquets. People pass on their best wishes to their relatives and friends by making Zanba with their own hands.

Second, the implication of Zanba

1, Reunion and Harmony: Ciba requires a lot of people to work together, usually the whole family or village to make it together. In the production process, everyone needs to unite as one and cooperate with each other. This spirit of unity and cooperation also implies family harmony and reunion. On traditional festivals such as Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, people will get together to share their happiness and enhance their affection and friendship.

2. Harvest and abundance: The main material of Ciba is glutinous rice, which is one of the main grains in southern China. Therefore, it also means a bumper harvest and prosperity. In rural areas, farmers will use their own labor results to make Ciba during the harvest season and share it with relatives and friends to express their joy and gratitude for the harvest. At the same time, Ciba is also one of the important offerings to ancestors and gods, and people believe that by offering Ciba, they can get the blessing and gift of the gods.

The present situation and development trend of Ciba;

With the development of society and the acceleration of urbanization, the traditional custom of Ciba has gradually disappeared in some urban areas. However, in some rural areas and ethnic minority areas, Ciba is still one of the important festival activities. At the same time, with people's emphasis on traditional culture and the strengthening of protection awareness, traditional customs such as beating Ciba have gradually been passed down and carried forward.

In some urban areas, Ciba has gradually evolved into a commercial activity and cultural tourism project. Some merchants will launch various tastes of Ciba products during traditional festivals to attract consumers' attention. At the same time, some cultural tourism projects will also organize tourists to experience the production process of Zanba, so as to deepen their understanding and understanding of local culture and customs.
