What are the traditional festivals of the Tu nationality?

Traditional festivals of the Tu nationality include Spring Festival, Buddhist Festival, Sun Buddha Festival, Nadun Festival and Dragon Boat Festival.

The Spring Festival is the biggest festival for the Tu people. More than ten days before the Spring Festival, people began to prepare new year's goods, eat New Year's Eve dinner, sing family songs, and hold a "Dai Tiantou" ceremony for the girl to be married. Every household should pay tribute to the kitchen god and the door god. On the first day of New Year's Day, the whole family will worship Buddha and pray for peace for one year, and will hold various entertainment activities until the end of the fifteenth day of the first month.

In addition to the Spring Festival, the most ethnic features are the Tuzu Challenge Competition, the Madan Opera Festival and the Naton Festival. There will be horse racing, wrestling, martial arts and other traditional entertainment activities, as well as material exchange meetings.
