Mid-Autumn Festival custom of Miao nationality

When Miao people catch the autumn festival, they should stop farm work, put on holiday costumes and invite friends to accompany them. More than 10,000 people flock to Akita from all directions to participate in or watch various recreational activities. People sing Miao, play suona, dance lion, play flower drum, play monkey drum, go up the knife ladder and have an autumn outing for eight people, which is very lively.

The swing for eight people is shaped like a spinning wheel, about 8 meters high, supported by thick wood, and has eight swings, each of which can seat 1-2 people. Eight people turn by manpower in autumn. When the rotation stops for a while, whoever lives in the highest place will sing. Young people make more use of this once-a-year opportunity to find and have sex.
