Paragraph 1 describes that water splashing is the most important traditional activity of the water splashing festival. People splash water on each other and bless each other. Dai people often say: "The annual Water-splashing Festival will be splashed on whoever can afford it." Water splashing conveys the sincere friendship and love of young men and women, and it expresses people's mutual blessings.

Sprinkle joy and holy water on distant tourists and passers-by to show respect and welcome to the guests and convey friendship to friends from all directions.

On April 12, at two or three o'clock, the boiling water in Xiaodai Town began to boil. Groups of girls and boys in national costumes chase each other and pour out their love to each other. At this time, people on the streets of the town forgot their age, and middle-aged men and women were shooting at innocence with water guns. People who are more childlike are hiding in high places. You run away in a hurry, and they give you a pot, so you can't prevent it. But you are never angry, only surprised, because all the people are cheering and laughing in a friendly way. The whole town is carefree, and it is a carnival festival. A basin of clear water is thrown at others, you cheer, others throw a basin, and you scream. This is a festival for everyone. You can be the protagonist if you like.

"Kuang! Moo! Hey! " Manggong is ringing, stepping on the rhythm, people are flying, and colorful clothes are shining with colorful light. Light and shadow change in a hurry, and heroism and tenderness are intertwined. Dancers are shaking, viewers are shaking, and red land is shaking. The exposed vitality makes the ancient red land look young in the rotating sunshine.

Water, flying again, like a goddess scattering flowers and sprinkling mercury, gently flew to the happy crowd with the dance steps. It is bright, refreshing and clear, and it is a smooth and comfortable soul after bathing, which makes the whole canyon convey the story of spring everywhere.

On Xuanwei Avenue, the main battlefield is splashing water.

They put on Dai costumes and held banners. No matter how the pedestrians splash water, they March neatly. Teams of propaganda teams passed by, the crowd was crowded, and three men chased and splashed water. Some handsome guys always chase those beautiful women to play with water, and the beautiful women bravely fight back. Several foreigners crossing the street were chased and splashed by a group of people. They are all wet, like "chicken soup", but foreigners always have a constant smile on their faces.

At 2 o'clock sharp, the whole city fluttered, splashed and steaming, and a layer of mist was born in the air, and the hot sun became cold, forming a rainbow arch span over the splash square. The scene was spectacular. There are seven or eight policemen standing in the corner of the square, doing security work. I stood with them, and no one dared to splash water, so I kept filming. In the crowd, if you bend down to hold water and pour it, it will spill out and fall straight down; The figure shakes, shouts and complains, and the water sounds like a piece; The water is loud and the laughter is loud; Different postures and elegant clothes. Everyone's clothes are soaked, and their faces are full of smiles. * * * Blessed with holy water. The clothes of men, women and children are soaked, and their body curves are graceful. The waist ink, figure, buttocks and nipples of various postures are extremely exposed, and even a few ladies wearing white clothes have the black halo at the perineum fully displayed at the two spans. The beauty of human body is fearlessly displayed.

2. Being apart for too long, missing you too much, often lost in endless expectations. Under the light of winter night, the stories of the past always remind me of endless thoughts.

People didn't hit people with water balloons or spray people with water pipes, but according to Myanmar tradition, they sprinkled rosewood branches with water or sprinkled them with silver bowls. Everyone is soaked to the skin, and there is a festive and friendly atmosphere everywhere.

I am willing to wear this wet dress and stand under the big green tree and wait. Wait until dusk, wait until Kongming's lantern rises into the night sky, and wait until she turns around in panic and sees those burning eyes.

People think this day is the most beautiful and auspicious day.
