Angang Cave Festival is a traditional Buyi festival in Qinglong County, Guizhou Province, which falls on the second day of Tomb-Sweeping Day every year. According to local legend, the dry cave in the southeast of Qinglong County was originally named Qingquan Cave, and the spring water is clear all the year round. At that time, awei, a young man from two local stockyards, fell in love with Ahua and often went out to sing at the edge of Qingquan Cave. Both parents thought they were sincere, agreed to their marriage and decided to get married in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Unexpectedly, the patriarch knew about it. He thought it was immoral to get married without a matchmaker, so he intervened. Wei Hua was very angry when she learned that, so she secretly came to Qingquan Cave on the night of Qingming Festival, took the cave as a medium, bowed down to heaven and earth, and married herself. The very next day, the patriarch brought someone to plead guilty, so MUGUR PETRU CIUBANCAN had to flee and be reincarnated in Qingquan Cave. The loyalty of two young people touched the god of Qingquan Cave. He drained the water from Qingquan Cave and made awei flowers fly away like a pair of golden thrushes. Since then, Qingquan Cave has dried up. MUGUR PETRU CIUBANCAN's deeds touched the young men and women in the nearby Buyi stockade. On the second day of Tomb-Sweeping Day every year, they will go to the dry cave to sing, play and fall in love. Now this festival has evolved into a large market.

The glutinous rice slope festival is a traditional folk festival for Buyi and Miao people in Danggu area, Huishui County, Guizhou Province. It is held on April 8 of the lunar calendar every year.

At night, every guest in the stockade on the slope was full, and everyone continued to drink and sing. It is said that the glutinous rice slope meeting has a history of more than 200 years. According to legend, Buyi women once dug wild vegetables on the slope, singing about the poverty of life and the cruelty of ethics, and brought glutinous rice for lunch. Later generations heard this song and sang it, thus forming this festival. Miao people have a legend that their ancestors moved here because they couldn't stand the oppression of the toast, and also brought the custom of "April 8" here, so this festival is celebrated every year.
