historical origin
Sarban is a happy and traditional festival. It is also a great display of Tatar costumes, diet, music, dance and games. Its content is very rich. The annual Sarban Festival, also known as the Plough Festival, is an important festival of the Tatar nationality. It is similar to the Spring Festival of the Han nationality. It is usually held during the busy farming period after spring ploughing. The time is about June 20-25, and there is no fixed date.
There are two theories about the origin of Sarban. Legend has it that "Saban" is the name of the wild plants growing in Central Asia. The ancestors of the Tartar nationality engaged in grazing and farming in history, and hunted at the same time.
Every spring and summer, when people return from grassland and farmland, they meet on the grassland beach where the grass is in full bloom, and carry out some cultural and sports activities. This ancient custom has been followed to this day. However, with the passage of time, the activities of our ancestors have been endowed with new content, which has become today's Sarban Festival full of folklore. Sarban Festival is also known as Plough Festival, because in the past, when Sarban Festival was held, it was the spring farming season.
In the bright spring season, people wear Festival dress, bring rich food, gather in pleasant suburban scenery, play national musical instruments, sing and dance, carry out various recreational activities, congratulate each other on the festival, also wish spring ploughing smoothly, hoping to get a bumper harvest of agriculture. Later, due to climate and environmental changes, the date of the festival changed and was postponed to the middle of June.
Sarban Festival is a festival entirely produced from production practice. This festival also reflects the simple thoughts of the Tatar people who love work and life, praise work and life.
Festival activities
Before the beginning of the festival, there is a ceremony of ploughing the field by a horse, dragging an ancient plough into the field as a plough. At this time, the host will speak and announce the beginning of the festival. At that time, people cheered and waited for the team that performed many literary and sports programs to enter. Before that, young Tatar men and women had rehearsed many times, waiting for the day to show their skills. Accompanied by accordion, Bayan, Mandalin and other instruments, people sang ancient "Guilla", "Sabantoy" and modern Tatar songs, and danced the Tatar dance. The content of the program is also rich, including small chorus, big chorus, instrument ensemble, collective dance and so on. When dancing, almost all men and women, old and young, go to battle together, eight immortals cross the sea, each showing its ability. People express their joy through their dancing and singing. Many Tatar families come on this day to give performances for you. The rich and colorful programs are so dazzling that people sing and dance to celebrate the festival.
