Introduction: The Miao nationality is an ancient ethnic group and one of my country's ethnic minorities. The Miao nationality has a rich and colorful festival culture with rich ethnic characteristics. What festival is the Miao ethnic group celebrating on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month? Next, let’s learn about it together! Various festivals and solar terms are wonderful. Mr. Shui Mo has compiled the lunar April for you to let you know the lunar calendar information about the God of Wealth and the God of Joy every day in April. The Miao ethnic group's "April 8" celebration in Guiyang is the largest in scale, the most grand in scene, and the most far-reaching in influence. April 8th is a traditional festival for the Miao ethnic group. It is the Miao people’s ancestor worship festival, hero festival and party festival. People automatically gathered at the designated location to dance drums, folk songs, and flower belts; they climbed knife ladders and went through fire rings... It was extremely lively, with tens of thousands of people. The scene was grand and spectacular, and people sang and danced to their heart's content all night long. Every year on April 8th, the Miao people in Guiyang and its neighboring counties dress in their traditional costumes and gather around the fountain in the center of Guiyang. They played reed pipes and flutes, sang folk songs, and performed Miao dances to celebrate their traditional festival. There are many legends about the origin of "April 8th", mainly to commemorate the ancient Miao hero who was buried in the area of the current fountain on April 8th. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a custom. Every Miao household celebrates this festival by eating black rice, playing reed pipes, singing and dancing, and paying tribute to the Miao heroes and ancestors with melodious reed pipes, flutes and clear and loud Miao "flying songs". It is understood that Zhongshan District held the first "April 8" celebration in 2004 in accordance with the instructions of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, and has held it every year since then. The fifth Miao "April 8" was held this year, hosted by the Yuezhao Yi and Miao Township Committee of Zhongshan District and the People's Government of Yuezhao Yi, Hui and Miao Township of Zhongshan District. The purpose is to inherit and protect the traditional folk festivals of ethnic minorities, develop the economy of ethnic minority areas, promote national unity and progress, publicize Zhongshan, promote tourist routes, promote the development of rural reasons and ethnic customs in Zhongshan District, and start the project construction of Liupanshui Miao Cultural Park. Today, Guiyang's "April 8th" has become a festival for the Miao, Buyi, Dong, Zhuang, Shui, Gelao, Han and other ethnic groups in Guiyang and its vicinity to celebrate together, and a grand ceremony to showcase national traditional culture. Young men and women from ethnic minorities also take this opportunity to find their soulmates through their soulful dancing and singing. Summary: After reading the introduction in the above article, I believe everyone has a new understanding and knowledge about the Miao festival on April 8th. You can learn more about it and gain some knowledge! |
