What are the traditional ethnic festivals of the Wa nationality?

The "New Rice Festival" is a day for rice to ripen, celebrate harvest and taste new rice. Due to the difference of climate, the time of grain ripening varies from place to place, so the holiday time of different regions, villages and even every household is different, but it used to be held in July and August of the lunar calendar (September of the lunar calendar). To determine the date, one is to choose an auspicious day according to the maturity of their respective grain. Second, the best date for parents or grandparents to die. It is intended to invite the souls of ancestors to come back, taste new rice with their families and have fun. And ask them to bless future generations' families with happiness, good weather and abundant crops in the spirit of heaven. In order to let the Wa compatriots from all over the country celebrate the "New Rice Festival" at 199 1, Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County and Ximeng Wa Autonomous County jointly decided to designate August 14th of the lunar calendar as the "New Rice Festival" for the Wa people. The traditional New Rice Festival is held by many families alone. On the festival day, the host gets up early to prepare food, wine and meat for the festival. Then go to the field and cut a new valley. Hanging a string of cut millet on the door means inviting the soul of the grain into the house. Crush the remaining grains, put them in an iron pot and bake them with low fire, and pour out new rice to make rice.
