- It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... steamed bun???? 🍞 Welcome to a new house ceremony, rural China style! One of the best things about living in a Chinese village is being able to experience all these unique regional customs that you'll never see in the city. This was definitely one of my favorites!

妳應該是我所知，第一個看見豬頭而沒有任何厭惡表現的美國人。
You might be the very first American I know, who has no display of disgust on the pig head.
...it is a Chinese thing, you are not supposed to open the gift. YOU OPEN IT UP AFTER YOU GET HOME.
It is not high speed train, electric cars or going to the moon, the soul of China is the food, the family and the community. The video shows you a glimpse of what it is about. Thank you Kathy. No tourist would ever experience this.
high speed train 叫复兴，electric cars叫仰望，going to the moon叫嫦娥，这也是中国的寓意和精神，不要把技术和田园对立起来嘛，理工科有理工科的浪漫
When the house owner hand you the gift, she bless you with 早生贵子. I literally laughed like hell😆
Classic rural china aunties 😂
And more homework for the kids lololololol
Are you married??? If not, I wonder if they'd try to play matchmaker. 😂
Translation please 😂

I'm so glad to see the elderly grandpas and grandmas. In a single generation they are able to see China reach such amazing prosperity, and know their families have a wonderful future ahead. This is what hard work, faith and a competent government achieves.
Really love the atmosphere/vibe. Just like one big happy family . No matter rich or poor, young or old or where you're from 😊. We're all humans, respecting each, coming together and have a good time ❤.
i only wish we have these kind of atmosphere / vibe / manners here in USA ! But here in my country, we're all individualistic / selfish. I might have learn chinese and follow her footsteps in the near future !
This is typical China southeast province countryside lives. My hometown has same traditions. I was always excited to pickup buns and candies When they put the main beam of the roof in.😂
@@andylogicmaster1008you got the key element of Chinese culture 人气。it unique heritage from old time when people has to stick together to hunt and save them from natural disasters. Chinese culture always believe that the individual power is insignificant. So they always gather on major events.
Thank you for sharing the delightful insights into rural life in Zhejiang Province. The joyful scenery truly moved me. I'm eager to watch more through your lens.
Thanks so much for your support to this channel 🥹🥹 can’t wait to share more about village life , stay tuned 😁😁

Because of her sincere, easy-going nature and her immersion in Chinese Culture and Village life, they have accepted Katherine as part of the Community. 👍👏
If you are friendly to chinese , even you are not good at madarin, chinese people will be super friendly to you.
Don't be cheated by those disgusing west media and politics with the evil lie they made
Cause she can speak Chinese. Communication!
Katherine! Wow! What an Amazing, wonderful joy it must’ve been for you! All that happiness you’ve captured is pure delight. This is a smorgasbord for the senses! That spectacular view of the mountains is awe inspiring! A housewarming most of us will never get to experience except vicariously through your lens! The size of those bamboo logs!!!! Liked your fortune and the boys too😂Thank you, thank you, thank you!
glad you liked it, lots more interesting celebrations coming up with CNY 😄 stay tuned
Wow, this is something most people have not seen before, so refreshing. So glad this tradition still exists in rural China today. And What a cozy community full of friendly neighbors. Thank you for documenting it and sharing!

What a beautiful house! The view is amazing and it's so nice to participate in these inaugurations! Old homes are being replaced by increasingly modern buildings even in these rural areas! Unfortunately here in Italy these traditions have been lost! Great video. Thank you for sharing❤
好的传统会留下，不好的会被取代，没什么可惜的😂
This is so interesting! I’ve never heard of this tradition before 😅
抓到！
我小时候在我的老家无锡，也有这样的习俗，叫丢炮梁（记得是这个叫法），就是上完最后一根梁站在屋顶把各式小糕点撒下去，村民邻居们在下面抢，有雪片糕，松糕，小笼馒头，糖果，橘子，甚至硬币，江南多雨，印象中每次去抢炮梁都是在雨后，抢到的糕点零食上面都粘了泥。
这一段读起来突然有点汪曾祺的感觉哈哈
都是我个人童年时非常真切的记忆的描述，那时候普遍条件都还很不好，泥里捡起来的糕点用水冲干净还是当好东西吃。
我这湖北荆州某地十多二十年前别人家上梁也是有这种风俗，我确实没有意识到这竟然是全国性的传统习俗。
That kid with the stunned homework face, hilarious.
Simply enchanting - even with the fireworks going off like that.
Specifically with fireworks!
Of all of your videos, this may be my favorite. Lovely scenery, interesting traditions, and friendly people. So much of what I love about the Middle Kingdom!

杨离子，来吃饭了！😂😂😂😂😂。What a warmly welcoming.😊👍👍👍👍👍😍 And yummy yummy food.😋
杨离子，来吃饭了！The wording and its tone are only used on family members!
你真了不起，融入农村生活对普通城市中国人也不是一件容易的事更何况你是外国人，你有着很强的亲和力与发现事物美好面的能力，为你点赞👍
actually the rural feast are done by caterers too, those aunties and uncles are cooks and the assistances. they set up tents, bring the ingredients and utensils and everything to designated spots and take care of everything, that's a typical business in rural China.
Now days!
yeah but they do it onsite is the point, instead of trucking the food in. sorry it if it was unclear
that's true, in US, the precook everything, reheat the food onsite at most...@@kats_journey_east
在中国浙江通常每个村子里都这种专门做厨师来做这样的宴席。主人家会聘请这样的农村厨师，然后一起是市场买菜。帮厨的人通常是附近里花钱雇佣的同村或者隔壁村庄的人。
你的描述不正确，农村传统的做法是邻居和亲属们帮忙做菜办酒席。只是现在大家越来越忙碌，如果主家有钱，手头比较宽裕，就会请餐饮店的大厨帮忙做。在偏远的农村还是自家人做的多，在沿海富裕的农村可能就是请大厨居多，不能一概而论的。
It always warms my heart to see a fellow Virginia Tech Hokie fully immersed in the local culture. I am grateful that your subscriber base is growing so your message of goodwill to all can continue to spread!
Thanks for bringing the joy and happiness of those villagers into our lives through your vlogs.
Katherine i'm Malaysia n love to watch ur vlogs So keep carry on n have a nice day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Katherine, an embassador for peace and friendship ❤
So amazing that we can watch this celebrations and learn about Chinese traditions! Your channel it's a treasure Katherine! Happy Chinese new year of the dragon!
glad you like the videos, happy year of the dragon to you too 🐲
Wow Katherine ..you are so fortunate to have so much happiness around you.
It’s really a dream and joy to own a house for anyone. Thank you for sharing this family’s joy, this new house is a luxury in any standard!! I wish the family only happiness in their new home and the owners seem lovely as well.
This video makes me homesick. I haven't travelled back to my hometown, where my parents and relatives still live, for nearly 3 years. The scenery, and the style of the houses, and the style of the village are so similar to those of my hometown. We also have a piece of bamboo grove in front of our house. The custom to celebrate the main beam's setup is exactly the same as we have in my hometown. Unfortunately, I haven't been in such a celebration for, maybe decades. And, the feast, is also just like what we usually have in my hometown. It's Yuexi County of Anhui (安徽岳西). You may visit there some day. It's quite similar to rural Zhejiang, but you may still find some difference and interesting things easily.
This content provides a different view from those showing how modern China cities are, how fast the trains run....which I love very much
The people of your village are China's traditional "peasant class" and it looks like they're living pretty well. Totally different from the poor rural farms I saw when I first visited China 20 years ago, and even better off than my last visit in 2018. Is your village typical of other rural communities you visited? Even after seeing China's development with my own eyes, it's hard to believe the speed of progress. Truly epic.
it’s typical of many places in Zhejiang, this province is wealthier than most of the rest of the country though
This small village house party was more fun than the big city 5 stars big hotel party.
The home owner got one of the best locations in the village. The view from balcony is amazing.
Oh, how honest and wise, “没技术只能靠劳力吃饭了”. Thumb up 👍
Watching this Vlog reminds me of the poem by Kipling and a western saying. "East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet..." and "The tie that binds". Except in this case, the village is telling us that it is really "The Bun or Bao that binds"!!!😂. The tradition of throwing buns and food off the balcony and having a communal gathering goes such a long way in bringing harmony and comaradarie to the villagers. How nice it would be if the West and East can take a lesson from this village. Katherine, you must be happy to be so accepted by the village judging from that very personal and "tailored" well wishes from, I assume, the owner of the house! Wonderful vlog as usual...Thank you!!!!❤
hahahaha you got the "Baby soon" curse! and a baby boy at that!
😅😅😅
Curse 😂😂😂
You should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize❤
You look so happy after moving to the village , thank you for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Putting the big wooden log is very important. It is consider as important as you vertebrae affording the wellness of the whole household who live here.
Thank you for showing us how rural china is still keeping their tradition alive and following it. Something that is going away.
浙江农村环境真美， 他们的生活真是幸福美满！
Hope you can make a documentary about Chinese New Year in Rural China... waiting with thanks
Wow, that is a million-dollar view. Concrete, solid house, and hard to burn down. Juliet waiting for Romeo on her balcony overlooking the peasants, ha. What I learned from this video is that if you going to build a house in China make sure you add 10% more of the cost of the build for the celebration and the party. Awesome fun. And once again the pig escapes the dragons...you are pushing your luck, Kat hanging around all those dragons.
浙江省的农村真富庶啊，环境还这么好，羡慕了。
别吹了，我就是浙江人。

This is the ceremony for installing the main beam that holds up the roof of the highest part of the house, after that you can put up the roof and the house, at least the shell of it, is built. I have not even heard this term for many tens of years!
Enjoyed the vlog very much. Fantastic ceremony on completion of new home in rural China. 💐
I have just returned from visiting my ancestral home in Guangning, Guangdong in December. 2023, which is about 21/2 hours’ drive north from Guangzhou.
The village is located near the top of the mountain covered by bamboo forest.
My relatives have built 3-5 stories individual homes around the village similar to what you show in the vlog.
My relatives extended extraordinary care and the best hospitality to all of us visiting from kuching, Borneo. This is our first trip back to our “Fong” village since my grandfather left for Borneo in the early 1990.
This was the most memorable family reunion I had.
Blessings 🕊🕊🕊
Kuching, Malaysia.
What an amazing experience ! Glad to hear you finally got a chance to visit it😎😎
Your grandfather left for Borneo in the early of 1990? Or 1900?
My great-grandfather left for Melaya now Malaysia in 1890.
I am not surprised that you are a Hakka
Tradisi seperti ini yang membuat ekonomi berputar. Banyak industri jasa yang dapat pekerjaan dari tradisi seperti ini, jasa sewa tenda, sewa alat makan, sewa meja dab kursi, toko bahan makanan, toko penjual makanan ringan dan sebagainya. Semua mendapatkan pekerjaan dan kebagian rezeki 👍.
祝陽離子早生貴子！
OMG!! You've become a silkworm. Eating fried mulberry leaves.
What an exciting and fabulous event. Happy days.
Well, as long as there is plenty of food, drinks and fireworks.
And yeah, that view from the balcony is to die for.
Thank you Katherine for another very interesting video showing the real rural life in rural China which is still being observed. But i have to say that the highlight of the video is capturing the expression of the kid face when the wish for him was for a better grades for his school work....that was hilarious but beautifully captured!😂
Another great video. Love your channel such good content and your neighbours seem so friendly and lovely.
我小时候，大概1996年，那时候我还在读小学，我家建了差不多这样的房子，也请人吃饭，抛糖和烟了！坐标浙江新昌县
上梁仪式一直有的啊，只不过一些小细节会一直变
The crispy red pepper is very tasty. I buy them at one of the Chinse super market (168 Market) in Fremont, CA. The brand they have is called "黄飞紅“。They do not always have it.
Another timeless video documenting village culture that’s truly unique.🥂for bringing this to us.
Will appreciate if u can also take us for one of your nice slow walks thru the bamboo forest one day.
They r so elegant and majestic. Thanks
This is the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time, it gives me hope for humanity 🙂
祝你早生贵子！😆妈妈，领养我！
好赞啊,这几农村这么美好,热闹,谢谢😊🎉❤
Thank you for sharing such a great video. Very interesting tradition in rural China.
My grandfather used to run these types of services. He and his crew travel between events to provide catering and the furniture.
What a lovely and crazy custom of building new houses!
Btw regarding bamboo culture among artists and literature lovers there is a famous poem written by 蘇東坡 ：
詩歌首四句「寧可食無肉，不可居無竹。 無肉令人瘦、無竹令人俗。」 基本已述說了古人認為竹子的重要性，沒有肉食並不打緊，但沒有竹子，就會令人變得庸俗，可見在古時，文人墨客對竹子背後的於寓意非常重視。 thanks for sharing 😊
Communal spirit at its absolute best.
Glad you didn’t miss out on the buns busy filming the fun! :D
Thank you for this wonderful video, As an ABC with roots in Taishan, Guangdong, this is a celebration I never heard of. So glad that those living in the rural areas can afford to build such wonderful homes and then celebrate with the neighbors. Always learning from you, Kathryn!
Brilliant Video Katherine the community spirt is alive and well in rural China and your so lucky to take part and we are very lucky to have you there with your camera so we can have a look. Thank you Katherine.p.s baby in 2024!?
so cute👍👍👍
That is one amazing video. We learned something about Zhejiang culture & traditions today. Thank you Katherine, enjoy your spring festival in China.
amazing. hope their traditions continue :)
Always something new for us. Thank you and CHEERS to you.
喜歡那一句
but this was defiitely an event worthy of attending
反正喜不喜歡都不重要，今天的活動很值得體驗。
說得很好😊
Thank you, Katherine.
Interesting video. Lucky you that you got to participate in the joyous occasion.
This is really a wide tradition in Zhejiang,Jiangsu and Shanghai. When I was a little boy, we have the same custom in Shanghai to throw buns and Zhongzi when a new building completes... The dinner is called beam wine (上梁酒). 😀
Love your video as àlways. Thanks for showing an interesting culture of house completion in China which is quite different from my area. Guess people celebrate differently and you're so blessed to have a part in it❤❤❤
Oh,I love the atmosphere so beautiful .❤
you should chance your hat soon...it looklike rabbit hat to me...soon you need dragon hat😂
I'll be on the lookout 😂😂
beautifully filmed.
the locals really appreciate your blending in.
always looking forward to your postings.
what a beautiful house, i remember when i was little living in rural china, we had the same tradition. after the family moves in, they will have a lavish house warming party as well,.
Happy CNY to You Katherine. just can’t get enough of these rural China videos. Hopefully New video in a another province…Anhui?Fujian?? either way can’t wait.
Zhejiang is still the best though haha
@@Woesthebossyes Zhejiang is nice but we have seen Zhejiang i feel like from her tour. Anhui would be nice
This was so interesting to watch! Thank you!
nostalgia, I remember as a child in southern , it is exactly the same, but the house today is huge.
the banquet in rural china is called 家宴，they are surprisingly delicious.
Thank you for your opening eyes video ❤👍
almost every village has one or two village chefs. They cook for all kinds of ceremony. new house, wedding, spring festival, ancestors worshipping... They know all the tradition from which cuisine should be in which ceremony and how this cuisine shoulld be cooked.
这些新房子的习俗， 连我这个在城市长大的人都不知道， 可能每条村都不一样的习俗吧。Amazed how you get along with the rural people so well as a foreigner!
还是农村热闹，一家过事，半个村子来帮忙。
Chinese feast always begins with a firecrackers, message to start
You are the best! Thank you for sharing!
Aww such a heartwarming video❤ and Kathy got her blessing for a Dragon baby 😂😂
The view is amazing ❤. Like the natural rural village, the traditional culture, just love it❤
我最佩服Katherine。特喜欢你的视频
Thank you for sharing this unique house warming celebration party. Happy Chinese New Year!
What a charming and quaint tradition! It’s so heartwarming to see the community spirit and how well you fit in it! Thanks Katherine for sharing this!
Wow, this makes me really miss China. Really, there's no place like it, especially rural China.
At least they aren’t throwing tomatoes!
Interesting tradition to celebrate the completion of the construction of a home. I wonder if this tradition is unique to this part of Zhejiang. Thanks for sharing.
不是 所有农村建房子都会这样上梁 和抛礼物 哈哈
The homeowner family is such a vibe. They know how to throw a great block party 😂😂
Thank you so much and I really love it. The simple and very authentic lifestyle of rural China. get some more
The texture and flavor of these buns are favorites of the younger generation when they are reheated in an air fryer.
Wish you an early Happy Chinese New Year Kat!
上梁是很重要的仪式
我这边没有，有些人会做大门得仪式。
You hear only the sounds of joy.... good life for you!!!!! We like it.❤
So much for quiet village life! More exciting than living in a first tier city.
So interesting, the ritual beam thing! Thanks so much for another great video.
It's so real and so dreamlike at the same time! Are there birds in a bamboo forest? What sounds come out from it? Is it fragrant? Because, we have like "bamboo scented" things... What an awesome view!!!
yes there are birds but not as many as a "regular forest" because there's less plant diversity. have yet to notice any particular fragrance, I'll pay more attention next time 😂😂
