"April 8" is the Miao people's ancestor worship festival, hero festival and get-together festival. It is said that "April 8" is an important festival for the Miao people to commemorate the hero "Yanu" and commemorate his heroic deeds. After liberation, with the approval of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, "April 8" was designated as a festival of the Miao people. Fenghuang County has a strong ethnic style. Every year on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, young Miao men and women come to Tiaohuaping to dance flowers and moons, and go to the "Miao Border Field" to sing and dance to their heart's content and talk about love. "April 8" is therefore called the "Oriental Valentine's Day". As time goes by, the content of "April 8" has been continuously enriched, and today's celebrations are full of profound national spirit and national culture. "April 8" activities incorporate other folk cultural elements of the Miao people: Miao "Miao Lion", "Suona", "Wooden Leaves", "Dragon Dance" and other folk customs.
