Eid al-Adha is a traditional festival of Hui nationality, which originated from the historical and cultural background of Islam. It is an Islamic festival to commemorate the Prophet Muhammad, and it is also one of the important festivals of the Hui people.
It is said that when Muhammad moved to Medina (now Saudi Arabia) in 622 AD, he saw the local residents holding a celebration ceremony. In order to strengthen the unity and cohesion among Muslims, he decided to set up a festival for Muslims. Therefore, he chose the tenth month of the Muslim calendar as Eid al-Adha.
Eid al-Adha symbolizes the Muslim spirit of unity, friendship and charity. On this day, Muslims will hold morning prayers, prayers and pilgrimages, and make charitable donations to help the poor and those in need. In addition, people will dress up, reunite with their families, visit each other, and carry out various celebrations, such as enjoying the moon, tasting delicious food and watching performances.
Eid al-Adha is a precious cultural heritage handed down by the Hui people for thousands of years, and it is also an important cohesion and symbol of the Hui group. Through this festival, the Hui people inherit and carry forward the values and beliefs of Islam, and at the same time show their unique cultural features. The origin of Eid al-Adha embodies the wisdom of Islam and the deep feelings of the Hui people, and has become a colorful and meaningful festival celebration.
