What are the folk customs in Foshan?

Sugar cane: In Foshan, the best-selling food during the Qingming Festival should be Qingming sugarcane. There is something special about eating sugarcane during the Qingming Festival. You should eat sugarcane at the grave after paying homage to your ancestors, and throw the bagasse there after eating to let the ancestors know that everyone has come to visit him, hoping that he will bless future generations and prosper.

Roast pork: The golden pig worships ancestors, which means that the red skin is strong and the ambition is great. Usually when you buy a roasted pig, you will divide it into a large piece for each family after worship. The pig head and pork will be evenly matched. No matter you are rich or poor, one portion for each family will never fail. There is a reason for sharing pork, which is called ancestors. Regardless of whether the clan members are rich or poor, they will be distributed equally to everyone, without any preference.

Qingming willows: Foshan has the custom of planting willows during the Qingming Festival. This custom is to commemorate the minister Jie Zitui of the Jin Dynasty. Jie Zitui burned himself under a big willow tree in order to keep his integrity. The next year, the old willow tree came back to life. Duke Wen of Jin named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and broke off the willow branches on the spot and put it on his head to express his memory. From then on, ministers and common people followed suit one after another, and it became a common practice. Three days before and after the Qingming Festival, Foshan people will plant a Qingming willow tree at their door to bless their homes.
