Dulong people are called "Kaque Wow". It is the only festival of Dulong in a year. They take December 29th as New Year's Eve and 3th as the first day of the New Year.
According to legend, a long time ago, two brothers lived by the Dulong River. They lost their parents when they were young, took the deep forest as their home, shot with crossbows and spent their time painstakingly. One day, with long knives on their backs and hard crossbows in their hands, the two brothers came to Bila Barrel on the snow-capped mountain of Dandelika to hunt. The sky was overcast this day, and animals could not leave their nests. I didn't see a thin rock sheep until afternoon. Brothers, split up. My brother lost his way and drove into a high mountain and deep valley where the peaks competed and the dangerous rocks stood.
When night falls over the mountains, my brother waits at the appointed place. However, after waiting, the moon hung on the top of Gaoligong Mountain, and there was no sign of my brother. With an anxious heart, my brother went into the deep mountain canyon to find his only relative. I don't know how many hills I have climbed and how many rapids I have crossed. I have searched for nine years, eleven months and twenty-nine days. On December 3th, my brother suddenly came back. When the two brothers met, they had mixed feelings of sadness and joy. The elder brother said sadly to his younger brother, "My good brother, it is not my brother who has the heart to leave you. Since our brothers were separated, I have been trapped in the dragon's pool by a demon. The devil is eager to see you looking for your brother. Starting today, let me come back to meet you every December 3. " My brother went on to say, "The day when we meet is the end of the year and the beginning of the year. Let's call it Chinese New Year." In order to celebrate the reunion after the loss of his brother, the younger brother specially prepared dishes made of various rare birds and animals and rice made of various grains for his brother. After dinner, my brother was very excited to meet his brother. He knocked on the gong, lit the torch, invited the old brothers in the cottage, and told everyone the good news, so that his brother and the villagers could sing and dance together. Since then, the day when brothers meet has become the year of Dulong people.
In festivals, every clan and tribe should hunt wild animals collectively; Kill pigs and sheep, and distribute the prey to each household. Tribal housewives give annual food to each family. They call it "sharing food". In the past, when eating on New Year's Eve, we had to wait for every member of the tribe to arrive. If there was a lack of one person, we would not open the pot. In the early morning of the first year of the year, at the first light of dawn, a gong sounded in the cottage. Welcome the new year. After breakfast, with the gong ringing, people came to the open area of the cottage to celebrate the New Year with quaint customs. People, regardless of age, sex and family, hold hands and dance the traditional dance of their own nation. The elders used elaborately-compiled rattan ware with delicious dishes to share with everyone in the traditional way. At that time, singing, cheering and dancing were intertwined.
Whether drinking, eating or eating meat, the housewives share the food in the Dulong family. Guests are also given an equal share when they arrive.
At night, the man drinks and recites a toast by the fireplace, and then throws the wine bowl on the bamboo frame on the fireplace, which is a good omen.
The Dulong people are very hospitable. In case of hunting wild animals or a family killing pigs and cattle, it will form a banquet where distant relatives and neighbors gather for dinner. In addition, the Dulong people also have the custom of entertaining strangers, and warmly treat guests who pass by and stay at home. It is a shameful thing to think that there is no food for guests and no guests to stay in the dark. They have a good tradition of not picking up the road and not closing the door at night, and regard stealing as the most shameful act. When the Dulong people carry out some primitive sacrificial activities, tourists can't visit them.
