Among them, the Qingming Festival and the White Dew Festival in spring and autumn are the largest and last for a week. While offering sacrifices to King Yu, people also offer sacrifices to the god of land, the god of flowers, the silkworm girl, the door gods, the god of the house, Jiang Taigong, etc. During the event, "Fishing and Killing the Family" is a must-perform play, which expresses people's hope and yearning for a better life. 2. It is advisable to collect "Ten Kinds of White" on the White Dew Day There is a custom of celebrating the White Dew Festival in Wenzhou, Zhejiang and other places. In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "10 kinds of white" (some say "three kinds of white") on this day to stew black-bone white-feathered chicken (or duck).
