Yunnan Dai village composition 400 words

There are 56 flowers everywhere in China. Different regions and nationalities have their own unique folk customs. Let me show you the unique charm of Dai culture.

Dai people live in large river basins, dam areas and tropical areas, so they have maintained the habit of "living with many bamboo houses by the water" so far. Their villages are all made up of exquisite bamboo houses. These small bamboo buildings have a unique style, which can only be described as "the village is full of trees and the garden is full of flowers". Dai people are also good at singing and dancing. Generally speaking, Dai women are slim, pure and beautiful, with graceful appearance and are called "golden peacocks". "Jialuoyong" in Dai language is the most popular dance among Dai people-peacock dance. Peacock dance dances beautifully. On festivals, the Dai people gather together to watch peacock dance performed by Dai folk artists.

Peacock dance of the Dai nationality is world-famous, so is the Songkran Festival. The Songkran Festival originated in India, and was introduced into the Dai area of Yunnan through Myanmar, with a history of about 700 years. This folk custom has been included in the "first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list". During festivals, Dai men, women and children will wear festive costumes to worship Buddha. Girls greet Buddha with clear water with bright flowers, and then splash water on each other. You splash me, I splash you, and the water blooms in the air, symbolizing auspiciousness, happiness and health. Everyone threw water at each other, and there were baptisms, blessings and songs everywhere. Water splashing is laughing, and the water splashing festival has become an ocean of joy. During the Songkran Festival, there is also a dragon boat race similar to the Han Dragon Boat Festival, which is held on the Lancang River. Red and green dragon boats beat the waves in the sound of gongs and drums, shouts and whistles, adding a lot of tension and joy to the festival. In the evening, there will be traditional entertainment activities, such as holding high and releasing lanterns, as well as various song and dance parties. Goldman Sachs is a kind of fireworks made by Dai people. When it is put away, it emits gorgeous fireworks in the air, as dazzling as flowers.
