What are the traditional festivals of Miao nationality?

The traditional festival of Miao nationality is Dragon Boat Festival.

This is a traditional festival for Miao people to row boats on the water. It is popular on both sides of Qingshui River at the junction of Taijiang and Shibing counties in Guizhou, and on both sides of Bala River in Taijiang, which flows into this river. The Miao language in eastern Guizhou is called "Hayangyong". There are sixty or seventy Miao villages, such as Pingzhai and Liaodong, each of which has one or two dragon boats for rowing competitions.

Every year, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, or from the 24th to 27th, Miao people living on both sides of the strait hold grand dragon boat races in turn. Dragon boat races are also popular in Fenghuang, Luxi, Jishou, Baojing and Huayuan in Xiangxi, Hunan Province, which are divided into men's teams, women's teams and mixed teams. The scene is very lively.

Although the Dragon Boat Festival of Miao nationality is a festival with dragon boat race as the main content, it is also a festival for ethnic culture and entertainment, social interaction between young men and women, visiting relatives and friends of middle-aged and elderly people, talking about the year and production experience.

Miao customs:

First of all, in terms of diet:

1, eat camellia oleifera. Camellia oleifera is a kind of hospitality tea made by mixing fried popcorn with water. If the guest drinks it, the host will be happy, but if the guest doesn't drink it, it will be considered as contempt for the host. Some people want to drink three cups, the first is camellia oleifera, the second is bitter tea, and the third is sweet tea.

2, eat mountain loach (lizard, collectively referred to as quadruped snake). Add a small amount of rice flour to the processed loach and marinate it in a jar to entertain guests.

3. eat green vegetables. I like to eat green vegetables during the Spring Festival, and generally don't chop them up.

Second, wearing:

Miao costumes vary from region to region. Men and the elderly wear collarless clothes with large rows of buttons, waist belts, trouser legs and leggings. Cardigans worn by middle-aged people and young people are short and small, and the fabrics are mostly homemade "home machine clothes".

Women's wear has different styles. Wear collarless embroidered clothes with petals in the middle, and wide-leg pants with edges, embroidery or a few yarns below. Eye-catching female headscarves are generally more than a foot long, all blue in color, and some are wrapped in black and white squares.
