According to folklore, there were 18 lovers in East Village in ancient times. In order to resist the fetters of feudal marriage customs, they hanged themselves in Grain Rain two days ago. In order to commemorate these young men and women who gave their lives for faithful love, Dong people gather in Tuwangpo every year for singing, dancing and commemorative activities, and then gradually form a fixed festival. Tuwangpo is generally located on a hillside not far from the village. During festivals, some recreational activities are usually organized, such as singing, dancing, boxing and wrestling. Young men and women fall in love in frolicking, looking for people who are satisfied with themselves.

Among them, the most distinctive courtship methods of Tuwang Festival are "eating tea buds" and "traveling more". "Eating tea buds" is a way for boys to test girls' emotions through tea buds. Some young people like girls to string ripe tea buds together with rattan and hang them around each other's necks. Some people throw the tea ear into the spoon basket on each other's back, while others pick a bitter tea bud without clothes and put it in each other's mouth to observe the girl's reaction and see if she accepts her pursuit. If this girl really likes this young man, then she will silently accept the other person's "provocation" and even swallow tea buds in one gulp to show her firmness in love. "Play badminton more" means playing badminton in Dong language. Men and women play badminton in pairs. Those who don't have shuttlecock partners can catch chickens halfway, and those who drop chickens will be replaced. Couples seized the opportunity of badminton and tried to woo with puns. For example, this person said, "A-mei, you have so many hearts. You played badminton! " The woman said, "Brother, don't raise the chicken to death!" " "During the festival, colorful badminton flies in the" Duoshuttlecock "venue, and young men and women are United by passionate love. Dong Qingnian described it as "flying flowers for love".

Usually at noon, the songs of Tuwang Festival will reach a climax, with broad-minded bathing, unrestrained flute music, affectionate "friendship songs" and cheerful "song change".
