Local Customs

Every year from May to July of the lunar calendar, when the rice in the field is heading, every family in the Miao and Dong villages celebrates the "new eating Festival" on the Mao day (some in the afternoon or the Chen day). At that time, each family cooked glutinous rice, a bowl of fish, a bowl of meat and so on, and put them on the ground (and some on the table). They picked 7-9 rice bracts from their rice fields and put them on the edge of the glutinous rice bowl. Then they burned incense and paper. The elderly picked a little fish and glutinous rice, threw them on the ground, and dropped a few drops of wine to show their sacrifice and pray for a good harvest. Then they tore up the rice bracts and hung two on the ground On the shrine, the rest were torn open for children to eat, and the whole family happily had a good meal together. The next day, all the villagers, old and young, wore new clothes to watch the Lusheng club, and participated in the Lusheng dance. Some brought horses to the racecourse for horse racing, and some brought water bull to the bullring. The festival lasted for two days. it is said that in ancient times, there was no millet in the world, only millet in the charge of Tiantian Gaohu (Lei Gong) owned millet, so people had to hunt for a living. In order to get the seeds, the ancestors of the Miao nationality first took 9999 kinds of rare birds and animals to the millet country to exchange nine bowls of seeds for nine buckets and nine liters, and put them in the warehouse for sowing in the spring of next year. But one night, a Wuyou, with a long arm, was walking on the edge of the sky. By the light of the sky lamp, he stepped on the stone and pounded the fern root. He accidentally knocked the sky lamp over and just fell onto the top of the wooden warehouse. As a result, there was a fire. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The seeds cried for days in the barn. Finally, they flew to the sky by the smoke and ran back to Gaohu's home. Please go to find Gaohu and ask him to persuade him to return the seeds, but Gaohu insists that the seeds are not up to heaven. There is no way. I'll discuss with Gaohu and exchange 9999 kinds of rare birds and animals for grain. Mouth abraded nine layers of skin, throat said dry nine jars of water, call dead do not agree. After thinking about it for nine days and nights, I finally came up with a plan: when the millet is ripe, send a dog to roll in the rice field and let the millet stick on the fur. On the morning of the 13th of July in the ancient calendar, the dog was about to set out. He told me that he wanted to take the seeds with five feet high in the pole and five feet long in the ear. But because the dog was in a hurry, when he got to the south gate, he accidentally tripped and reversed his words. As a result, he ran to the five inch long paddy field and quickly rolled back. When the dog came to the overpass, he sent ninety-nine strong warriors to guard the bridge. They beat the dog into the river. They thought the river was wide and deep, and the dog would die. But they did not expect that after the dog fell into the Tianhe River, he quickly raised his tail to the surface of the water. With great effort, he swam across the Tianhe River and came back with nine grains of grain on his tail. When I had the seeds, I quickly ploughed the fields and removed the seeds. On June 6 of the ancient calendar, a bunch of ears like dog's tail came out from the top of the seedling. A month later, the golden ears matured. On July 13 of the ancient calendar, it was the day of one year when we got the seeds. On that day, we picked nine liters of millet and cooked a large pot of fragrant white rice. He scooped up three big bowls for the dog to eat first, and then he tried the new one himself. The rest of the seeds, sown year after year, make people eat white rice. In order to remember the date of harvesting seeds, July 13 was designated as the new eating Festival, which has been passed down. On the day of the festival, every family uses Xingu to cook. At dawn, people bring new rice, wine, chicken, duck, fish and meat to the fields. After sacrificing their ancestors, the banquet begins. Everyone forms a circle and raises their wine cups to the next person's lips. With the old man's order, everyone cheers three times in succession. Then they respect each other and drink up. All of a sudden, laughter reverberated in the fields, and traditional cultural and sports activities such as singing, stepping on the pond, and dancing Lusheng began until dusk.
