What festivals do Miao people have?

There are many Miao festivals, and the festivals celebrated by Miao people in different places are not exactly the same. The "Miao Year" is prevalent in southeastern Guizhou and some areas of Rongshui County, Guangxi, and is held in the Year of the Rabbit or the Year of the Ox from September to November of the lunar calendar. There are activities such as drumming, lusheng dancing, horse racing, bullfighting and "traveling". On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Miao people in several counties near Guiyang put on their costumes and came to the fountain in Guiyang. Blowing sheng played the flute and exchanged songs to commemorate the legendary ancient hero "Yanu". In addition, there are Dragon Boat Festival, Huashan Festival (the fifth day of May), Spring Festival (the rice is ripe in June and July of the lunar calendar), Tomb-Sweeping Day, Autumn Festival (beginning of autumn) and so on. Miao people in Yunnan climb Mount Hua almost every year. Although this kind of stepping on Huashan has superstitious content, it is also a traditional mass entertainment festival for Miao people.
