The customs of Miao nationality in Bao Zhong are unique and simple. Every year from the third day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, young men and women take turns to grab red eggs in Miao village, seeking a happy marriage through this form. Miao people marry their daughters without giving them a dowry. The funeral of Miao nationality is huge, and the table is placed in the courtyard dam. The wine table is arranged by relatives from far and near. At the end of March, gongs are knocked to toast, and family members beat drums for the deceased. Funeral is also a favorable opportunity for young men and women to compete in clothes. Miao people have many taboos, mainly that they are not allowed to work in the fields in the first month. The custom is mainly that Zhuang and Han families cry when they get married, and women who get married on the first month of the lunar calendar and June 6 will go home to pay New Year greetings.
Starting from 1996, Bao Zhong Street is a polder day every three days.
