Sisters' Day is a traditional festival of Miao people in some river basins in southeastern Guizhou.

Sisters' Day is the Miao women in Jianhe, Shibing and Taijiang areas of Qingshui River valley in southeastern Guizhou. Every year on February 15th and March 15th of the lunar calendar, we all eat sister meals. Jianhe and Shibing are February 15, and Taijiang is March 15. Although the festivals are different, there is no difference in content.

Characteristics of Sisterhood Day

On the day of sisters' dinner, girls or newly-married women in Miao Village return to their parents' homes, and they will choose a girl as the group leader in groups of three or five, and then pack glutinous rice, bacon and other foods from their respective homes and eat them at the girl's first home. On this day, glutinous rice will be dyed red, green, yellow and purple, steamed and given to others. On this day, girls enjoy full freedom, and the elderly at home are not allowed to give material help.

They can even fish in other people's fields, and the landlord can't blame them. After dinner, the girls will go out to play with flowers and glutinous rice. Foreign descendants have been waiting on the slope, begging the girls for their elder sister's rice, while the old people hold a banquet, drink and sing in the village. During the festival, there are also festivals such as bullfighting, bird fighting, lusheng jumping and wooden drum stepping in the cave area.

At night, they build nests, and young men and women gather in the village square or on the hillside of the field to talk or sing to each other. At this time, the girl-dyeing meal has become a medium of communication.
