The Year of Tujia is the most solemn festival of the Tujia family. During the Chinese New Year, the Tujia New Year's activities lasted for a long time and the content was rich and colorful. Preparations began on the twenty-third day of the lunar month. Before the Chinese New Year, buy New Year's goods, kill New Year's pigs, make poop, make dumplings, kill New Year's pigs, push tofu, etc.

Most of the Tujia people call June 6 as "drying the dragon robe", according to legend, this day is the day when the Tusi King Qin Yu was killed, so every household has to take out new clothes, good clothes to dry, in order to commemorate the Tuwang, to ensure the prosperity of future generations. In some places, June 6 is the "Eat New Festival", and every family uses the grain to cook wine and sacrifice, kill cattle and worship the gods, and some places will kill two pigs on this day and go to the altar to pay tribute to Duke Peng.

Historically, the ancestors of the Tujia people were called "barbarians" or "yi". Before the Song Dynasty, the Tujia people who lived in the Wuling area, along with other ethnic minorities, were known as "Wulingman" or "Wuxi Man".

After the Song Dynasty, the Tujia people were called "Tuding", "Turen", "Tumin" or "Tuman".

After the land was changed and returned, with the increase of Han immigrants, "Tu", "Ke" and "Miao" were often used against each other to distinguish the Tujia, Han and Miao ethnic groups in the Wuling area.

1. Festivals. The Tujia people attach great importance to traditional festivals, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it can be said that there are festivals every month.

Among the many festivals, the most distinctive is the "New Year's Celebration", and only some areas retain this custom. Over the New Year, also known as the year of the cloth, that is, the twenty-ninth year of the big month of the month, the twenty-eighth year of the month of the small wax, because it is one day earlier than the Han nationality for the New Year, hence the name. At that time, every household will kill New Year's pigs, make mung bean flour, boil rice wine or smack wine, etc.

2. Marriage and love. Marriage in the history of the Tujia family was relatively free, and both men and women could become husband and wife after free love, with the consent of both parents, and with the testimony of the Tu teacher (shaman). In Enshi stone kiln, the top of the mountain and other places, there is the custom of "daughter's meeting", that is, on the twelfth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year, young men and women sing and dance through the "daughter's meeting", love each other, and become lifelong partners.

After the land was changed and returned, the Tujia family was forced to implement an arranged marriage with the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. The Tujia family practiced monogamy, and before liberation, there were customs of cousin marriage and house-filling marriage.

After the liberation, the people promulgated a new marriage law, and since then the Tujia people have truly enjoyed the happiness of marital autonomy. The marriage rites of the Tujia family generally include procedures such as "proofing", "marriage proposal", "asking for red Geng", "fixing relatives" (commonly known as "inserting thatched incense"), "looking at the period", and "welcoming the leaky mold dan", which are similar to the ancient "six rites" of the Han nationality. The more characteristic marriage ceremonies are to accompany ten sisters, ten brothers and crying.

3. Funeral. In the past, the Tujia people used to be cremated. At the time of the funeral, ask the soil teacher to recite the scriptures, and the Taoist priest will open the way.

Sacrifice to the hanged dead, by the earth teacher vertebral cow sacrifice to the god, the head of the cow to the soil teacher monopolized, the poor often borrow the cow as a sacrifice. Later, due to the influence of the Han nationality, they were all changed to burial, and the procedure was divided into burial, funeral, funeral, burial, and after-funeral affairs.

In the Tujia area north of the Qingjiang River Basin, there is a unique ancient funeral song and dance "Dancing Funeral Drum", also known as "Dancing Salho". In the cottage, no matter who dies of an old man, he must invite the master to come to the house to play the funeral drum. That night, the suona was played, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers were non-stop.

As soon as the mourning drum sounded, people from neighboring villages came to mourn.

4. Contraindications. There are many taboos in the Tujia family, covering almost all aspects of production and life, including agricultural farming, New Year's festivals, weddings and funerals, childbearing, diet, daily life, sacrificial behavior, and so on. For example:

In terms of agricultural affairs, "the first month is taboo, and the wax moon is taboo tail". On Chinese New Year's Eve, women should avoid pushing, combing their hair, and washing their clothes, for fear that the next year's rain will wash away the soil in the field.
