It's Lingtou Festival. . \x0d\ We also have it in Qinnan District. Each camel ate a box of fruit. . \ x0d \ x0d \ Lingtou Festival is a traditional folk festival custom of Zhuang and Han nationalities in Qinzhou, southwest Guangxi, also known as "Diaolingtou". It is a local festival second only to the Spring Festival, and it is named because its activities are mostly held at the edge of the village. According to the Record of Customs in Volume 22 of Lingshan County Records in the third year of the Republic of China: "In August and September, witches and ghosts were released in front of the society, and then they entered the house to drive away evil spirits and epidemics, which was also a legacy of rural Nuo." This shows that "Tiaolingtou" is related to ancient rural furniture. The earliest literature of this custom of "crossing the mountains" with ancient Nuo characteristics can be found in the Customs in Volume 1 of Qinzhou Annals of Jiajing Edition of Ming Dynasty: "Mid-Autumn Festival in August, under the pseudonym. Dancing as a ghost in Lingtou is called jumping Lingtou. Men and women get together and sing and answer each other, so it is not surprising that they are slutty fake couples, parents and brothers. " Today, it has evolved from the initial religious ceremony to folk entertainment. The "Lingtou Festival" is mostly held more than ten days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, in August of the lunar calendar, and in some places it is held in March or October of the lunar calendar. Generally speaking, natural villages are taken as units, and each village is held on a certain day of the lunar calendar. For example, one village was held on August 13, while some neighboring villages were held on August 12 and August 15. Generally, each village has only one dragon head festival every year, but some villages have two. At that time, all villages will use up their ponds to fish, and every family will slaughter ducks and hold a feast to worship their ancestors and gods. At the same time, the "Lingtou Team" (Shigong) was invited to perform a dance festival on the ridge near the village. The teacher wears a mask and performs "throwing" (dancing) and "singing" (singing and dancing); In some places, there are also martial arts and "fighting" (folk magic) performances. The performance procedures include altar, praying to God, forbidding, singing and dancing, etc. These are all accompanied by drum music. The most important sacrificial activity in Lingtou Festival is "raising the head", which is a religious activity in the village to ward off evil spirits, collect evil spirits, eliminate epidemics, pray for a bumper harvest of crops, ensure the safety of people and animals and protect the village. Most of them were held in Lingtou on a gentle slope near the village. During the sacrificial ceremony, one person beat the drum to command the overall situation, two people beat the gong to match the drum, and the old man followed the rhythm of the music to complete each procedure in an orderly manner. Judging from the characteristic movements of several dances that are still dancing, they are the same as the "music dance" in the Huashan mural of Zhuang nationality in Guangxi. According to 1983, the staff of China Dance Research Institute went to Qinzhou to video the dance, saying that "this kind of dance legend was born in Yao and Shun, and now it is rare in China." In 2006, Tiaolingtou was identified as the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in Guangxi.
