China is a country with a long history and a vast territory with a large population. Throughout historical times, with the long-term development process, each Chinese ethnic group has formed its own customs and habits such as:- Costume & Clothing, Food, Housing, Transportation, Festive Occasions, Rituals & Sacrifices, Religious Beliefs & Folklore, Marriage, Childbirth & Funerals. These customs have continued for many centuries and have become the traditions preserved by each ethnic group. Some customs have gradually evolved into common customs of the Chinese nation.
