It is well known that rice noodle is a unique food in Yunnan, and the rice noodle festival is also a traditional folk festival of Han nationality in Hongta District of Yuxi. Yuxi people have a hard-to-give-up complex about rice noodles, and there are rice noodle shops in all the streets and alleys, which has brought the way of eating rice noodles to the fullest extent. Yuxi people's rice noodle complex has existed since ancient times, and it has spawned one of the longest festivals in the world-the rice noodle festival, which has been around for 3 years. It was originally a festival to welcome temples in the Spring Festival. Every year, from the first day of the first lunar month to the third day of the third lunar month, villages and streets are divided, and according to the agreed schedule, "Tuzhu" (a kind of god that local people believe in) is greeted in turn (there are also "city gods" and "ancestors"), so as to pray for family happiness, all the best, peace and good harvest in the new year. There are four "landlords" in Yuxi City, and which village and street the "landlords" go to is the festival there. The village lantern festival will team up to meet the gods, perform lanterns, dragon lanterns, lion dances and other folk songs and dances to celebrate, which will last for two to three days. In addition to killing animals and offering sacrifices, there are also lanterns and acting on stage. Some invite famous actors from other villages to perform together, while others invite temporary lantern classes to perform. At that time, families will kill chickens to buy meat, prepare wine and rice noodles, and take their daughters, sons-in-law and other relatives and friends home for the holidays < P >. Because every family eats rice noodles during the festival, it is called "rice noodle festival". After the founding of New China, the old custom of welcoming and offering sacrifices to the "local owners" has gradually disappeared, but rice noodles should still be prepared during the festival, starting from the first day of the first lunar month and ending on the third day of March. The cost of rice noodles is not high, and it is generally believed in the local area that even if the rice noodle festival is celebrated every day, it will not ruin the family. There are many kinds of rice noodles in the rice noodle festival, including eel rice noodles, small pot rice noodles, cold rice noodles, miscellaneous sauce rice noodles, chicken rice noodles, shredded chicken rice noodles, braised pork rice noodles, casserole rice noodles, etc. Of course, there are also rolls of rice (also a kind of food made of rice).
