1. In Xinjiang, Muslims call Eid al-Fitr "ji zi Festival", which is a free translation of Persian and a grand festival with grand scale and solemn ceremony. During the festival, the mosque should be cleaned, banners and lanterns should be hung to celebrate the festival, and couplets praising God should be posted. Every household should be cleaned, adult men should take a bath by themselves, children should wash their faces, and men, women and children should wear national costumes. At about eight o'clock in the morning (in some places, the ceremony bell rings), people gather in the mosque to hold a ceremony. When the imam announced the start of the ceremony, people automatically knelt in a neat row and prayed to Kaaba in the ancient Mecca Temple. After the service, people all say hello to the imam, and then exchange greetings of "peace, harmony and tranquility". After the whole ceremony, the imam led or scattered families to visit the tomb and pray for the dead. Then visit relatives and friends to celebrate the festival. During the festival, every household has prepared traditional foods with strong ethnic flavor, such as prickly heat, sesame oil, flowers, flowers, etc., and at the same time slaughtered sheep, chickens and rabbits to make bean jelly and stew. And send greetings to relatives, friends and neighbors.
2. The origin of Ji Min Festival
According to Islamic classics, before preaching, the Prophet Muhammad went to the Sheila Mountain Stream near Mecca to meditate and pray every month in Ramadan. During Ramadan in 6 10, the prophet was suddenly inspired by Allah when he was meditating and praying, and ordered him to be the "messenger" to pass on the teachings of Allah. Later, the prophet Muhammad designated this month as the month of fasting to commemorate it. At the same time, the jurist explained, "fasting is to let the rich taste hunger and thirst, so that they don't want to be extravagant and wasteful; We must scrimp and save to help the poor. "
