Bijie Miao Flower Picking Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival is the most anticipated day for the Miao people in Shuiqing every year. This day is also their grand "Flower Picking Festival". On this day, the Miao people gather on the selected hilltops to celebrate the Flower Picking Festival by singing Miao songs, dancing, playing the Lusheng, and singing folk songs. Unmarried boys and girls express their love through songs and dances during this festival to find their ideal partners. There are more than 2,000 Miao people in Linkou Town. The third day of the first lunar month every year is the traditional "Flower Stepping Festival" of the Miao people. In Xinzhuang Village, Linkou Town, the Miao people from Linkou Town and Dayin Town all come to participate in the festival. The Flower Stepping Festival coincides with the traditional Chinese Spring Festival. Activities such as the "Flower Stepping Festival" and the "Flower Dancing Festival" are not only a good opportunity for young Miao men and women to talk about love and freely talk about marriage. During the "Flower Stepping Festival" or "Flower Dancing Festival", young Miao men and women must wear beautiful jewelry, put on beautiful new clothes, gather in the flower slope field to sing love songs and dance the Lusheng dance, and each choose their own person of choice while singing and dancing. The young man from the Miao family came to the girl he liked with a reed pipe in his arms, and sang to express his love for her. (No pictures yet, please provide them.)
