Lithuanian national customs

Lithuanians used to be mainly engaged in agriculture, maintaining the traditional three-zone rotation system and poor land. The cultivated land is mainly a simple double-toothed wooden plow. Crops include rye, wheat, flax, sugar beet and so on. In animal husbandry, it is known as the "horse expert". In recent years, the electronics industry and electrical appliance production have developed rapidly, and most farmers work on collective farms and state-owned farms. Most farmers in the eastern region live in single rooms with wall trusses made of logs, while there are many houses with front rooms and storage rooms in the western region. Traditional national costume is a long lapel shirt sewn with coarse cloth, and women's shirts are embroidered with patterns on the collar and cuffs. The girl wore a vest and a long skirt over her shirt. Lithuanian folk creation is very rich, especially the lyric poem Dain, which mainly reflects family life, is the most popular. Lyrics are easy to understand, and they can skillfully express their feelings by using suffix changes, and most of them are led by women.

More than 400,000 Lithuanians are scattered in the United States, Canada, Poland and other countries. Most of them are descendants of immigrants at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century.
