Ningbo, May 3 news (reporter Liu Xinying correspondent Ye Congkai) seeing that it is summer time again, the turning point of everything from "born" to "long" marks the turning of spring to summer. Speaking of Lixia, I have to talk about its customs, learning to welcome the summer ceremony, picking beans to make Lixia rice, fighting eggs, weighing people, drawing eggs... These rituals are interesting to hear the name. Recently, the New Era Civilization Practice Institute in Longshan Town, Cixi City, Ningbo Province, prepared a unique and interesting folk experience for children.
At the scene of the "Revival Children's Palace" activity in the village outside the east gate of the town, the reporter saw two uncles dressed in quaint costumes carrying a large scale and weighing the children. Children also carry baskets to the farmland to pick beans and look for summer codes; or follow the members of the town's "Binbin Youli" propaganda group to learn the traditional "Summer Greeting Ceremony"; or taste the fragrant "Lixia Rice"; and also follow the painting of "Asian Games Eggs"...
"We hope that through this Lixia etiquette experience activity, we will not only let children understand the etiquette and customs of Lixia, add fun to their childhood life, enhance their interest in folk culture, but also let them inherit Chinese traditional customs." The relevant person in charge of the town said.
