What are the folk traditions in Jiamusi?

Located in the northeast of Heilongjiang Province, the hinterland of Sanjiang Plain formed by the confluence of Heilongjiang, Wusuli River and Songhua River, with a total area of about 32,700 square kilometers, is the easternmost city in China, so it has the reputation of "the first city in the East". Jiamusi was originally called "Jiamuke Temple Kashan" or "Jiamusi Tun", which was translated into Chinese as "Zhanguantun" or "Yicheng Village" in Manchu. According to the cultural relics unearthed in Jiamusi area, human activities appeared here as early as 6000 years ago. According to the recorded historical documents, in the 20th century BC, during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, tribes known as Su Shenren thrived here, and paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty every year, accepting jurisdiction and reward. Now, Jiamusi City has changed from a desolate fishing village to a new city in the northeast of China, and has become the political, economic, cultural center and important transportation hub of Sanjiang Plain in Heilongjiang Province.

Educated youth culture

Heilongjiang Province in China has the famous "Great Northern Wilderness", which is also known as the three famous black lands in the world with the Mississippi River basin and Ukraine on the Dnieper River in the United States, and the famous Sanjiang Plain is one of them. It embodies the spirit and sweat of all the people in China. Ping Qing, the late famous prose writer of the Great Northern Wilderness, once wrote affectionately: "The historical changes of the Great Northern Wilderness are a magnificent epic. Every inch of land is engraved with shining poems. The author of this epic is thousands of Qian Qian reclamation soldiers. They engrave with hard-working hands year after year and continue to engrave from generation to generation. " Educated youth is a very special group in the history of China and an important part of the Great Northern Wilderness Team. It is a team full of vigor and vitality, and it is also the team with the largest number, the highest education level and the strongest mobility among all the teams in the Great Northern Wilderness. Only 1968, more than 30,000 urban educated youth became "Corps soldiers". It was in that very difficult and harsh environment at that time that they inherited the glorious tradition of the people's army and carried forward the spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness, which was closely condensed under this pioneering banner.

Traditional skills

Hezhe nationality is a minority with a long history in Northeast China and an indigenous nationality in Jiamusi City. Until now, Hezhe people who live along the river still focus on fishing, and both men, women and children are experts in fishing. Hezhe people like to eat fish very much, especially raw fish, and they respect killing raw fish. So far, they still follow this custom, which fully reflects the uniqueness of this nation. Hezhe people use fish skin to fish, eat fish, build houses, build ships and make clothes, so they are called "fish skin tribe" by the world in history. The traditional fish skin making technology consists of a complex processing process, and ancient Hezhe women mastered this technology skillfully. Before 1950s, most Hezhe people would wear clothes made of fish skin, mainly including pants, gloves, leggings and long clothes worn by women. Later, due to the complicated manufacturing process and high cost, other materials were gradually adopted, and this traditional process was gradually lost.

Red culture

The people in Jiamusi area have a glorious tradition of patriotism and revolution since ancient times, and have made great contributions in the process of defending and building the frontier. After the liberation of Northeast China, the CPC Central Committee and the Northeast Bureau successively sent a large number of cadres and troops headed by Zhang Wentian to Jiamusi, and established the Hejiang Provincial Committee of the CPC, the Jiamusi Municipal Committee of the CPC and the provincial and municipal governments. Later, under the situation that the Kuomintang government destroyed the peace and launched a civil war, a large number of military, political, cultural and logistical organs in China moved to Jiamusi area, which was once called "the cradle of revolutionary culture in Northeast China". At that time, Jiamusi had become the most consolidated base in China during the Liberation War, and was widely known as "Yan 'an in the Northeast", which made great contributions to the liberation of the whole Northeast and the final victory of the China Liberation War.

folk culture

Hezhe nationality is an indigenous people in Jiamusi city, and still maintains many traditional customs and habits. Before drinking the first sip of wine, Hezhe people will dip a little wine with chopsticks, throw it into the air and sprinkle it on the earth to show their respect for their ancestors and gods. Hezhe people don't like drinking tea, and occasionally collect wild roses and their tender leaves or the tender buds of small oak trees to dry and soak in water as tea. They like to drink raw cold water most of the year. After the death of Hezhe people, fried fine noodles made of flour and various shapes of fine noodles snacks must be offered on the dining table, and people who come to participate in the mourning activities can also eat them.
