珞巴族新年习俗

珞巴族年节是按照自己的历法推定的。珞巴族的历法是一种依据月圆、月缺、月出、月不出以及季节转换规律归纳出来的。每月三十天，以月亮形状、出没时间来推算。每天用具体形象作标志。月圆月缺变化十二次为一年。一年内，再按生物活动、自然变化排出月的顺序，台一月份蛤蟆往江河、水渠中跳；二月份桃花落，“八卜”鸟叫；三月份“金嘎优”鸟叫等等。因珞巴族分布地区不同，节日的日期和名称也不一样。

九华山新年习俗

除夕进香

九华山居民吃过除夕团圆饭后，或看电视守岁、或娱乐，直至新年零点钟声敲响后，有的是全家出动，有的是家主代表，先洗脸漱口，燃放鞭炮、烟花，谓之“出行”；再将事先准备好的香、鞭炮、烟花带上到肉身宝殿（远处的则到附近寺庙）进香。进香途中，即使遇见熟人，也不言不语，进香完毕回家时方可相互招呼致意。除夕进香是为了祈求新的一年里平安如愿。据说若烧得第一柱香，最为吉祥。现已成为当地过年必具之习俗。

子会

信奉佛教的人集体朝山，人数满百人以上称“百子会”，两百人以上的为双百子会；不满一百人称小百子会。朝山者身众着灰上装、青裤、黄围兜上印有“朝山进香”字样，在香首带领下，步行上山，沿途敲锣唱赞、逢庙叩拜。大多在地藏王生日（农历七月三十日）活动最盛，素以能够在这天晚上赶到九华山肉身殿上通宵旦静坐“守塔”为荣。还有一些香客为亡故双亲上山敬香，他们身穿亡人的寿衣，以求得地藏王的印章祭祀亡灵为最大心愿，佛界神话说是持此印信，亡人在冥司有遍行无阻的特权。

第四篇：傣族新年习俗

傣族新年习俗

傣族人民的新年，按照傣历大约是农历清明节以后的第七天。节日期间，傣族同胞举行热闹非凡的泼水、赛龙船、放高升活动。泼水活动是傣族人民过年的最高潮，也是傣历年中最精彩的场面，因而通常称做历年节为“泼水节“。

这一天，人们互相泼水，用水表达真诚的友谊，纯洁的爱情，心中的祝福。泼水有文泼水和武泼水之分。文泼水是对长者，舀起一勺净水，说着祝福的话，拉开对方的衣领，让水沿着脊梁流下去。被泼的人高兴地接受祝福，不得跑开。武泼水则没有固定的形式，用瓢、盆、桶都可以，互相追逐迎头迎脸地泼。被人泼的水越多，说明受到的祝福越多，被泼的人越感到高兴。
