origin

According to legend, the Tujia "Daughter Club" originated in the late Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 400 years. During the reign of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (13), the practice of "returning to the native land" was implemented and the "daughters' association" was banned. After the Revolution of 1911, the "Daughter Club" became popular again. After the 1980s, Enshi held a grand daughter's party every year to show its national customs, making it a symbol of Enshi's national culture and an artistic spectacle that dazzled foreigners.
