One or three ethnic groups pay attention to five-color rice. 1. Zhuang nationality: On March 3rd every year, Zhuang people dye glutinous rice with maple leaf and other plant juices into four colors: red, yellow, purple and black. After steaming, they took it to the mountain to worship a man named Tegui. Some people think that Tenon's mother is trying to solve the problem of monkeys stealing glutinous rice. Tegui is a Zhuang nationality. He schemed to save the people from the suffering of the imperial grain.

2. Buyi people: Buyi people have a proverb: "You are smart or not, see if his glutinous rice is cooked well", so every March 3, Buyi girls are busy dyeing and steaming glutinous rice.

3. Miao: Miao people believe that the five-color glutinous rice symbolizes the unity of people of all ethnic groups like glutinous rice balls, fighting for the sky and land, struggling hard and sharing weal and woe. Five-colored glutinous rice is also an emotional object for Miao children to express their love.

Second, the five colors are similar. 1. Zhuang nationality: The glutinous rice without pigment is white, purple with wisteria juice, yellow with yellow flower juice (called "Huamai" in Zhuang language), black with maple leaf juice, and red with red and blue grass juice (called gogyaemq in Zhuang language).

2. Buyi nationality: The glutinous rice without pigment is white, purple with Arnebia euchroma juice, yellow with glutinous rice flower juice, black with Liquidambar formosana leaf juice, and red with mangrove root juice.

3. Miao nationality: The glutinous rice without pigment is white, yellow in yellow flower water, black in Vaccinium bracteatum water, original blue in purple blue water and red in magenta water.

Five-color glutinous rice is a traditional snack of Zhuang, Miao and Buyi people in Guangxi. They all like it very much, and even regard it as a mascot, representing a beautiful symbol of good luck and good harvest. Especially in Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival, they must make this kind of five-color glutinous rice as food, and offer sacrifices to ancestors and gods, praying for ancestors to bless a bumper harvest.

These five colors are white, yellow, purple, red, black and white. The white of glutinous rice is the color of its own rice. The black color of black glutinous rice is made by soaking rice with maple leaf dye. Red glutinous rice red is made by soaking rice with red and blue grass. The purple color of purple glutinous rice is the color cooked with red and blue grass. Yellow glutinous rice is made of turmeric.
