There are lots of fun- filled ethnic(少数民族的) festivals in our country. Let's take a look at some of them.
Ethnic Festivals | Introductions |
March Fair of Bai People | The March Fair is the most important festival for the Bai people living in Dali, Yunnan. It starts from the 15th day of the 3rd lunar month and lasts about 7 days. During the festival, people in and around Dali come together for trade. What's more, they race horses, dance to and sing traditional songs. |
Torch Festival of Yi People | In Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, Yi people celebrate the Torch (火把) Festival. It usually takes place from the 24th to the 26th day of the 6th lunar month every year. As part of the festival, every family needs to light a torch. The idea is that these torches will drive away bad luck. In the center of town, there is always a bonfire(篝火). People of all ages sing and dance around it. |
Water Festival of Dai People | The Water Festival is the New Year for the Dai people living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. It lasts 3 days in April. During the festival, Dai people wear their festival suits to dance and throw water at each other ( they believe it could bring happiness and good luck). The wetter you get, the luckier you will be. |
