What are the traditional festivals of the Dai people?

Huajie Festival is one of the traditional festivals of Dai people, and it is an important form for young Dai men and women to exchange and choose their spouses. It is called "Flower Street" locally, and "Valentine's Day" in the East is mainly celebrated in Dai settlements in Xinping County, Yuanyang County and Yuanjiang County of Yunnan Province. What Bian Xiao wants to introduce to you today is this lively and grand Flower Street Festival.

The Huayao branch of the Dai people living in the hot dam area of the river valley in Xinping and Yuanjiang counties happens to be the "Water-splashing Festival" and is catching up with the "Flower Street". Mosha Flower Street is held twice a year. The third day of the first lunar month is "Xiaohua Street". After breakfast, under the leadership of grandma, the girls combed their hair, put on holiday costumes, and put on silver bracelets, earrings, chains and bells. Then, grandma took out clothes, dresses, ribbons, sachets, flower handkerchiefs and other gifts from the wardrobe, put them in refined seedlings and wrapped them around her daughter's waist.

Girls put on chicken hats and gathered in droves from all directions to Fenniu Ferry. After finding an eye-catching place, everyone gently took their beloved things out of the seedlings and arranged them. The boys came with golden bamboo flutes. They walked across the street and stopped. If a young man is interested in a girl, he will give an admiring look.

After the two sides got to know each other, the agile young man immediately took down the sachet or flower handkerchief from the embroidery placed by the girl and left the "Flower Street" at a comfortable pace. The girl also put away her embroidery and followed her slowly. When the sun is on, lovers can be seen everywhere under the holly trees, among the bananas, in the pineapple fields and by the stream near the "Flower Street".

In the melodious sound of bamboo flute, young people pour out sincere and pure love to each other. As the sun sets, the boys open their lunch boxes, and the couples eat the best dinner in their lives with sweet words. Later, the girl took the silver jewelry given by the young man. This is the same embroidery that the young man took from the girl before.

The date of Dahua Street is the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, and young men and women meet at Fenniu Ferry. The young man found his sweetheart, holding the radish in one hand and the girl in the other, and came to a quiet place. The girl picked up her own food from the seedlings and let her sweetheart taste it one by one. When the sun went down, the two sides decided to tell their parents about their marriage and reluctantly left. For marriage, if both parties agree, parents will generally not stop it. When the age is right, they will choose auspicious days to be a good couple.

The Flower Street Festival of the Dai people in Yuanjiang is held twice a year, once on the seventh day of the first month in Hot Water Pond Flower Street, and once on the sixth and seventh day of May in a large flower street. Two flower streets are a good day for young Dai men and women to get together to sing and choose their spouses. In order to choose their beloved couples, Dai men and women sometimes sing songs for three to five hours. In duets, both men and women should cover their faces with beautiful flower towels when singing with others. People call it a masked love song. During the festival, people of Han, Yi, Hani and other ethnic groups nearby also participated in grand activities and enjoyed the sweetness and happiness of the festival.
