Of the traditional ethnic minority festivals, do you understand Water Festival or Bonfire Festival the least?

In fact, both festivals are very incomprehensible to me, but if we come to compare, the one I understand the least is the Bonfire Festival. Bonfire Festival is a traditional festival of Oroqen, a minority group in China, this ethnic group, they have very few festivals, and the Bonfire Festival, is one of the few festivals.

Oroqen is a nomadic people in the north of China, this nation, they have a very long history, they are in the history of hunting for a living, in the prairie to run, their living environment is relatively cold, so they usually point some bonfire at night to warm up. Therefore, the bonfire is also very important to them, so it is derived from the bonfire festival.

The so-called Bonfire Festival means that on this particular festival every year, that is, on June 18th, Oroqen people will light up torches and grasses in their tribes, and at this time we can see that there are a lot of fires in their autonomous region, which is very beautiful from afar, and the festival is carried out in the night, and there are a lot of torches lighting up the whole night, which is very lively and enjoyable. and pleasant.

However, behind the bonfire festival there is a very big safety hazard, in fact, needless to say, everyone understands that the biggest safety hazard of the bonfire festival is that it may cause fire. Therefore, this festival is very cautious, although it is said that we have fun, but there will be relevant professionals have been embracing the issue of safety, once said that the emergence of unexpected situations to immediately take measures to prevent the fire, so that from this point of view, I don't quite understand this festival, but it is, from the traditions of their people, I can still understand.

Additionally it is the Dai Water Festival, the Water Festival is very high visibility, whenever this festival, the Dai people will get together to celebrate with each other, and also to splash each other with water for them to splash the water festival means a lot, if a person is splashed with water more, then it symbolizes that this person will receive more and more blessings, his life will be more and more auspicious, and also a local custom, they believe that the Water Festival is the first time that a person is splashed with water, but the water festival is not the only thing that can be done. They believe that the water splashed out during the festival can wash away the dirt on a person's body and make him cleaner and cleaner.

The Dai and Oroqen they are living in two completely different places, the Dai live in the tropics of our country, mainly distributed in Yunnan and other regions of our country, their climate is hotter, so they wear is also thinner, so it is very very pleasant to say that in the hot summer to have a very lively Water Splashing Festival is a very very pleasant thing, but it is, it triggers a problem, and that is the The problem of water waste.

If we say use waste water, then splash to the body will be more dirty, but if we use clean water resources then it will be a serious waste of water, so this is a problem how to solve this problem, in fact, is a more critical. In fact, I think in the time of this festival can prepare some water in advance, the water can be taken from the sea or rivers and streams, this way then can reduce the waste of water resources, but also allows everyone to enjoy the open play.
