🎧  Listen to Introduction

Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is a religious festival for more than ten ethnic groups including the Hui, Uyghur, and Kazakh peoples. It is also the New Year of the Hui people and the New Year of the Uyghur and Kazakh peoples. According to legend, in order to verify the loyalty of the holy ancestor Ibrahim to Allah, Allah ordered him to slaughter his true son Ismail. Looking back on December 10th of each year, when Ibrahim raised his knife to chop as ordered, Allah sent a special envoy with a sheep and ordered him to slaughter the sheep instead of his son. As a result, the custom of slaughtering cattle, sheep, camels and other livestock for sacrifice was formed among Muslims every year. On this day every year, people slaughter animals and prepare rich festival food, and religious believers also bathe and pray. In order to celebrate Eid al-Adha, the Hui people in Wusheng County carry out animal slaughter and sacrifice activities and bathe and pray in the mosque every year. The scene is extremely lively and lively. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
