Catch up with the society, the Dong people are our own festivals
Longe Dong Village attaches great importance to social day activities. Before the festival, pigs and sheep should be slaughtered. Young men and women go down the river to fish shrimp for oil tea. " The meals for the "social day" were prepared the day before. At that time, three horses were painted on the wall, and incense candles were lit. MUA Dianlong, his grandmother and his daughter-in-law were invited to return home for reunion, and asked them to bless the Dong family to eliminate disasters, avoid difficulties, keep people and animals safe and have a bumper harvest. " The food is seasoned with emphasis. Drink some salt water before dinner, which means that you don't forget MUA Dianlong's teaching: 'don't lack salt all day.' Because MUA Dianlong was killed by the wrong knife, the Dong family banned knife tools this day. They can't cut vegetables with a knife, but instead use scissors to commemorate the innocent MUA Dianlong.
'catch up' is not in the stockade, but in the wild, such as Tianba or grazing Ping. On this day every year, more than ten thousand men, women, old and young in the Dong village of Fulu, Danian and Yangxi, adjacent to Guangxi, rush to the social market from all directions. There are a large number of people on the social field. Children watch the excitement, adults buy things and exchange agricultural and sideline products. The younger generation and girls of the Dong family put on new clothes. The girl wore all kinds of silver ornaments, tied an embroidered waistband and braided belt, and carried an Embroidered Purse with sour fish and glutinous rice in it. She was in groups and had a spring face. She invited the young students to lunch in the social field. The younger generation bought candy for the girl. The first acquaintance will end up in love with a song, and those who have been in contact for a long time will recount the old love and agree on the time of the next meeting.
In the evening, the younger generation and girls of our village invite the younger generation and girls of the outer village to visit their village for 'social dinner'. " The "social meal" is made of half glutinous rice and half indica rice, soaked in warm water, washed and drained, poured into a dustpan or large basin, mixed with cooked diced meat, fresh diced meat, fried diced tofu, thrush eggs or soybeans, peanuts, wild onions, mustard, green vegetables, lard, salt and other seasonings, mixed well and steamed to form a "social meal" with pungent aroma, delicious taste and rich nutrition. During the banquet, some young students covered their faces with brown leather and cloth, or wiped the bottom of the pot ash on their faces, played colorful faces, dressed up as Dong women, performed fishing 'social shrimp' and 'social fish', sang wine songs wittily and confided their thoughts to the girls. After dinner, young men and women gathered in the song hall, where they played and sang to each other, and the happy atmosphere continued late at night.
