What are the customs of Kunming's small holidays?

1, Kunming has always had the custom of eating stove candy in off-year. This kind of stove candy is maltose, which sticks to the mouth and teeth. The candy that is drawn into a long strip is called "Guandong Sugar", and the candy that is drawn into a flat circle is called "honeydew melon".

When it is put outside in winter, because of the cold weather, the honeydew melon is solidified firmly, and there are some tiny bubbles in it, which tastes crisp and sweet and has a special flavor.

2. In the New Year in Kunming, people will put a brand-new portrait of the kitchen god on the wooden board of the kitchen to put on a fresh face for the kitchen god.

Legend has it that Kitchen God is the god who manages human fireworks. He will tell the Jade Emperor what his family has done for a year, treat them well and let the family live a good life.

"On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Grandpa Zhao Jun, you went to heaven, and you ate a candy dish in your mouth. You can't speak in front of the Jade Emperor. You go back to our home for the New Year, with food, noodles and clothes. " This is a folk song, about offering sacrifices to the kitchen god, which shows Kunming people's yearning for a better life.

After the age of twenty-three, people think that the gods have gone to heaven and everything has been forgiven. You don't have to choose a date to marry a daughter-in-law and prostitution. This is called rushing to get married. Folk songs include "busy marriage in Yan village, and spring scenery in Yichun post." The sisters in front of the lamp whispered privately, this year is the bridal chamber. "

In the countryside around Kunming, killing pig rice is the most grand banquet in Spring Festival. The freshly slaughtered pigs are steamed, fried, boiled, fried and stewed, and some wild vegetables are added, which has a unique flavor.
