The Dai people are one of the ethnic minorities in China and have unique cultural traditions and festivals.

The festivals of the Dai people are mainly related to water, such as the Water Splashing Festival, the Waving Frame Festival, etc.

These festivals are not only important forms of inheriting Dai culture, but also express gratitude and awe for water resources.

At the same time, these festivals have also become an important window for the Dai people to display their own cultural characteristics and attract foreign tourists.

The Water Splashing Festival of the Dai people is one of the traditional Chinese festivals, usually held from the 14th to the 16th of the third lunar month every year.

The Water Splashing Festival originates from the ancient legend of the Dai people. According to legend, the festival commemorates the story of a Dai young man who bravely resisted the invaders and eventually died for his country.

Today, the Water Splashing Festival has become one of the important tourism and cultural activities in China and Southeast Asia. Visitors can enjoy traditional folk performances, taste delicious food and enjoy water entertainment activities during this festival.

The Dai people's Waving Frame Festival is one of the most mysterious and ancient festivals among Chinese ethnic minorities. It is usually held between the 15th and 16th of the second lunar month every year.

The Waving Frame Festival originated from the Dai ancestors' prayer and thanksgiving ceremony for natural disasters.

On the day of the festival, the Dai people will place a tall bamboo tube frame in the central square of the village. The protagonist of the festival - the child prodigy - will perform various mysterious dances and performances on the frame to pray for a good harvest in the coming year and peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

At the Waving Frame Festival, visitors can enjoy ancient Dai dance and music and appreciate the deep charm of Dai culture.
