What is the origin of the Langshui Festival?
It turns out that this demon king who is fearless can't even prick his neck with his own hair. The alert little girl carefully pulled out a red hair of the lich king and tied it around his neck. Sure enough, the devil's head fell off and turned into a ball of fire. Wherever it rolls, the fire of evil will spread. Bamboo houses were burned and crops were burned.
In order to put out the evil fire, the little girl grabbed the devil's head, and the other six girls took turns splashing water on it, and finally put out the evil fire in June of the Dai calendar. The villagers began to live and work in peace and contentment. Since then, there has been the custom of splashing water every year.

The Songkran Festival originated in Persia in the 5th century A.D., and was then called "throwing cold water on Hu Opera". Since then, the "Hu Opera of Throwing Cold Water" has spread from Persia to Myanmar, Thailand, Xishuangbanna, China, Yunnan and other places through India, and it was introduced to the Dai area in Yunnan, China with Buddhism from the end of12nd century to the beginning of13rd century. With the deepening influence of Buddhism in the Dai area, the Water Splashing Festival has become a national custom.
Water-splashing Festival is a comprehensive stage to display the traditional culture of Dai people, such as water culture, music and dance culture, food culture, costume culture and folk worship. It is an important window to study the Dai history and has high academic value.
The artistic performances such as palm-dancing and white elephant dance displayed in the Water-splashing Festival are helpful to understand the national characteristics of the Dai people, such as understanding nature, respecting Buddha in love the water, and being gentle and calm. At the same time, the Songkran Festival is also an important link to strengthen the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in Xishuangbanna, which has played a positive role in the friendly cooperation and exchanges between Xishuangbanna and Southeast Asian countries and promoted the social, economic and cultural development of Xishuangbanna.
