About the Buyi flower dance party
The flower dance is held from the first day to the 21st day of the first lunar month every year. " The "flower dance party" is a social activity for young men and women, with a grand scale and more than a thousand participants. Many unmarried young men and women set their lives by blowing wood leaves and singing to each other. Every festival, the little girls are dressed in gorgeous lace clothes and locked with beautiful flower buttons. The boys are dressed in cardigans and bearded belts, blowing wood leaves and spring breeze one by one.
Enthusiastic Ah Mei led the horses for the boys from five villages and eight villages, from the invisible hillside, to the place of the flower dance. It was a flat grassland, next to a clear river, and to the North was a tung tree forest full of flower buds. There were people shouting and laughing everywhere, at least thousands of people.
The big cowhide drum thunders in the empty valley, fast and slow, restrained and raised. Coupled with the clanging cymbals, it is intoxicating! On the field, a group of young men and women were dancing and singing ancient songs. The singing was beautiful and the dance steps were light. The young people sitting on the Bank of the river, playing 'Le you', playing the moon piano, playing wooden leaves and talking about love, with pairs of bright and affectionate eyes like a river, expressed warm love to each other. The reflection shook, which was another flavor.
Close to the edge of the Tung forest, there is a platform. There are wonderful Bouyei operas, which are rich and colorful, and the whole lawn is full of a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere. They sang and danced, and unknowingly the sun fell on the back of the slope. The sunset was scattered on the flower buds of the Tung forest. People reluctantly mounted their horses and left the lawn one after another.
The flower dance is also a bridge meeting for young boys and girls. They planted love on the grass dam. On the last day of the festival, that is, the 21st (called 'Union'), they announced that the annual flower dance was over. The 22nd is "lead the sheep" day, which means an engagement. Young people take the "sheep" home (take the girl back for a blind date) to see the man's family to decide their own life events. On this day, many young men went to Caoba to take their future wives to the stronghold.
But where are shy girls willing to step into the door of the object's house? It's just that in the mountains behind the stockade and in the jungle, you can secretly see where the object's home is located. After the 22nd, it's time to work. Spring ploughing begins. People invest in busy spring ploughing production to fight for a bumper harvest of grain, cotton and sugar in the coming year and build a mountainous area!
The above introduces the Buyi Flower Festival! It turns out that the Buyi people are also amorous. Festivals about love between men and women rise one after another. Of course, the reproduction of the nation is a witness of beautiful love!
