Introduction to Maojie Festival
The date of Maojie Festival is calculated according to the water calendar, which is popular in some villages in Sandu County and Libo County of Guizhou Province. This festival lasts for four days. According to the ancient custom, from September and October of the lunar calendar (May and June of the lunar calendar), festivals are divided into four batches according to different regions.
On the festival day, young men and women go to Maopo to sing, dance and play with umbrellas and flower buds in their hands. In the evening, people gather in the village square to play bronze drums, leather drums, suona and traditional lantern shows. And invited guests to the banquet.
Traditional customs:
1. In the first three or four days of Mao Festival, the Shui people, like the Han people, began to sweep the court, clean up and scatter the sun dust in the rice fields. The next day is the year-end New Year's Eve. On this day, we will carefully clean houses and dams, provide fish, meat, wine, rice and other sacrifices to worship our ancestors, and prepare rich dishes to entertain guests.
Mausoleum is the climax of festival activities. On the first day of the lunar new year, it is popular for young men and women to rush to Maopo to sing duet. Maopo is a place chosen by customs for many years, and it is designed for young men and women to engage in a wide range of social activities in the form of singing duets.
3. Generally, it is chosen to be carried out on the top of a flat slope near the mountain and water, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. At that time, not only the young people celebrating Mao Jie in the village will go to Maopo to sing, but also men, women and children from other villages and neighboring counties will come to attend the grand event.
4. Some businessmen will also set up stalls to sell all kinds of food and daily groceries, which will suddenly make the whole Maopo full of people and excitement. Before the duet began, a respected old man publicly announced the commandment in the music world: only unmarried young men and women can participate in the duet. And wish the younger generation of duet can find their own Mr Right in duet.
5. So, in the midst of laughter, young men and women looked for opponents to sing in groups of three or five, propped up colorful umbrellas to cover their faces, and sang in the bushes, grass and rocks on the Maopo, or stood or sat on the ground.
