What are the customs for the Hui people to celebrate the Spring Festival?

Hui people's Chinese New Year customs include Eid al-Fitr, sweeping dust, eating jiaozi, inviting imams, eating steamed rice with millet, stews and steamed buns.

1, Eid al-Fitr: the biggest annual festival of the Hui people, which is called "Hui New Year" by other ethnic groups. Eid al-Fitr lasts for three days, and the first day is full of excitement from dawn.

2, sweeping dust: sweeping dust is to clean the dust at home, choose a sunny day, and clean every corner of the house.

3. Eat jiaozi: Serve hot jiaozi, open the prepared Laba vinegar, and the whole family will sit around the table, laughing and having fun.

4. Please imam: Hui people don't put up Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve. Asking the imam is the only way for most families. Because there is only one mosque and one imam in a village, many people will choose to invite the imam after the New Year.

5. Eat steamed rice with millet stew: Hui people eat steamed rice with millet stew on the morning of the first day of the first month. The so-called stew is the beef stewed the day before, plus cabbage, vermicelli, fungus and so on. Stew it in a pot, which is a bit like stewed noodles with sauerkraut in the northeast.

6. Steamed buns: Steamed buns at noon on New Year's Day generally have two kinds of meat stuffing and vegetarian stuffing. Eating noodles or zygotes at night symbolizes harmony, reunion and happiness in the New Year.
