Fenggang "Pray to the Pearl Goddess" What are the customs of the Miao Mangge Festival?The 17th day of the first lunar month is the traditional "Mangge Festival" in Ancui Township, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, Guangxi. Men and women of all ethnic groups from all over the country invite each other to watch the "Mangge" performance."Mangge" is an entertainment god in Miao folk legends. Performing "Mangge" is one of the unique traditional activities of the Miao people and has a long history. Legend has it that a long time ago, the Yuanbao Mountain area of Miao Mountain was sparsely populated, wild beasts were rampant, thieves were everywhere, and coupled with the harm caused by diseases, demons and evil spirits, the Miao tribe lived in terror of invasion by humans and beasts. In order to exorcise evil spirits and liven up the village, an old Miao man invented "Mangge" (a figure wearing a mask and covered with Miscanthus), saying that "Mangge" is an entertainment god who can both exorcise evil spirits and entertain. On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month every year, "Mangge" comes down from the mountains to exorcise evil spirits for people, celebrate the festival with people, and teach those who are disobedient and do bad things a lesson. "Mangge" can cure diseases and drive away ghosts. Hardworking and brave people who come into contact with "Mangge" will have another good harvest in the new year. Since then, the Miao people have worshipped and believed in this entertainment god covered with reeds. The "Mangge" Festival was thus passed down. Whenever the Mangge Festival comes, the Miao village is full of joy, and the neighboring Dong, Zhuang, Shui, Han and other ethnic groups also go to watch. For a while, the "Mangge" wearing masks and covered with Miscanthus (or straw grass) were vividly distributed in the streets and alleys of the Miao village. People will see that one moment the Miao grandpa stretches out his hand to "Mangge" and says, "Please hold my hand, so that I can live a long and healthy life." The next moment, young people eagerly hug "Mangge." Some disobedient and idle people will be "taught a lesson" by "Mangge." In the village, there were cheers and applause everywhere, with the words "Wu Ya, Dou Ya" (which means good and right in Miao language).
