When is the fifteenth day of the winter month?

The fifteenth day of the Winter Moon is the King's Day of the Winter Moon Dynasty.

Winter Moon Festival is a traditional festival in Chuxiong Yi people's inhabited area. Chuxiong Yi people have a long history of celebrating King's Day. On this day, local residents will hold various activities to celebrate King's Day.

According to legend, a long time ago, the Yi people living in Ailao Mountain often suffered various injuries because of the steep mountain and harsh natural environment. The main reason is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, like scattered sand, there is no cohesion, so it is often invaded and bullied by foreign enemies. Therefore, festivals are used to show cohesion, make people unite and love, and respect the old and love the young.

Traditional activities of King's Day in Winter Moon Dynasty

On the day of ancient festivals, people gathered from all directions and formed a powerful collective like a little bee, forming an ancient primitive tribe of mankind. And elected the most prestigious elders as tribal leaders, arranged all affairs within the tribe and mediated various disputes, thus forming a joint force within the tribe, laying a solid foundation for overcoming natural disasters, resisting foreign invasion and developing production.

Nowadays, the custom of celebrating the King's Day has gradually faded, but they will treat their families with care, take out the purest rice wine and the sweetest honey, and bake the unique "Lei tea" of the Yi people.
