Water Splashing Festival Event Planning Template 1 Water Splashing Festival Customs The Water Splashing Festival usually takes place in mid-April in the Gregorian calendar and in June in the Dai calendar, lasting three to five days.

The first day is called "Whiduosangli", which means New Year's Eve, and the last day is called "Whiba Wima", which means "the day the King of Days arrives" and is New Year's Day.

The middle one is called "Wan Nao", which means "empty day".

During every festival, activities such as splashing water, throwing bags, rowing dragon boats, flying high, worshiping Buddha, and chasing pendulums are carried out.

In the early morning of the first day of the festival, people collected flowers and green leaves to offer offerings to Buddhist temples, and piled sand to build four or five pagodas in the temple. All living beings sat around the pagodas, listening to the Buddha chanting sutras, and then carried the Buddha statues into the courtyard.

Women bring clear water to wash away the dust of the Buddha statues.

After the ceremony in the Buddhist temple, the young men and women stopped splashing water on each other for fun, and the mass water-splashing activity began.

People filled copper bowls, basins and even buckets with water, and rushed out of the streets and alleys, playing and chasing each other, and splashing water on everyone they met.

Folks believe that this is auspicious water, a blessing water that can ward off disasters and diseases, so people pour it as much as they want. Regardless of the person who pours it or the person who is poured it, although they are soaked from head to toe, they are still very happy.

I saw water flowers blooming among the crowd, forming rainbows under the reflection of the sun, and everywhere was filled with laughter and laughter.

In addition to water splashing, there are also mass singing and dancing activities.

Elderly people in their 70s and 80s, and children as young as 78 years old, all dressed up in festive costumes, came to the village square, where men, women and children gathered in a circle and danced to the beats of gongs, elephant feet and drums.

Some dance "Peacock Dance", some dance "Yulahe", and some improvise, singing and dancing at the same time, with graceful movements, distinctive rhythm and moving singing.

When it jumps to high spirits, cheers of "water, water, water" may erupt, or it may end with the singing of "Yulaha, Yulaha".

Some men drank while dancing, getting so drunk that they stayed up all night and even passed out drunk on the dance floor.

During the festival, dragon boat racing is held on the wide Lancang River.

The wooden boat was decorated with colorful flowers and dressed up as dragons, peacocks, big fish and other images. Dozens of young men and women paddled forward vigorously. Crowds of spectators on both sides of the Taiwan Strait filled the sky with the sound of gongs, drums and cheers.

After the competition, the winners came to the podium to receive their awards and drink a celebratory drink.

At night, various villages set off fireworks.

This is a homemade firework made by the Dai people. It uses a bamboo several feet long, fills the root with gunpowder and other ingredients, and places it on an elevated frame made of bamboo.

The fuse is lit, the gunpowder burns, and the bamboo shoots into the sky like a rocket, emitting brilliant fireworks in the sky, like clusters of flowers, stars shining and dazzling, decorating the festive night sky particularly beautifully.

The one with the highest score will be praised and rewarded.

During the Water Splashing Festival, activities such as bag throwing are also held.

Young men and women find partners and express their love by throwing bags.

The Water-Splashing Festival is the most solemn festival of the Dai people. The Water-Splashing Festival is the Dai New Year. The festival generally lasts from 3 to 7 days.

In the early morning of the festival, Dai men, women, and children put on their festive costumes, carry water, and start splashing water on each other to wish each other good luck, happiness, and health.

People danced and shouted "Water! Water! Water!", the sound of drums and gongs resounded through the sky, and the blessing water splashed everywhere. The scene was very spectacular.

A long time ago, a wicked demon king occupied the beautiful and rich Xishuangbanna and snatched seven beautiful girls to be his wives.

The girls are full of hatred and plotting how to kill the devil.

One night, the youngest girl used the best wine and meat to get the devil drunk, making him reveal his fatal weakness.

It turns out that the devil, who is not afraid of the sky or the earth, is afraid of using his red hair to strangle his neck. The alert little girl carefully pulled out one of the devil's red hair and strangled his neck. With a strong force, sure enough, the devil's

The head fell off and turned into a ball of fire. Wherever it rolled, the fire spread.

Bamboo buildings were burned down and crops were scorched.

Later, the devil's head fell into the river. In order to prevent the devil from harming the world again, the seven girls took the devil's head, but the dirty water on the devil's head flowed down, so the villagers poured water on the seven girls.

The dirty things on my body finally extinguished the evil fire in June of the Dai calendar.

The villagers began to live and work in peace and contentment.

Since then, there has been a custom of splashing water every year.

Now, the custom of splashing water has actually become a form of people blessing each other.

In the eyes of the Dai people, water is a symbol of holiness, beauty and light.

Only with water can all things grow in the world. Water is the god of life.

When the water splashing first started, the polite Dai girl said blessings while dipping bamboo leaves and branches into the basin of water and sprinkling it on the other party.

"The water blooms and the Dai people go crazy", when it reaches its climax, people use copper bowls, washbasins, and even buckets to fill water, and play and chase in the streets and alleys. They only feel that the water in front of them and the water behind them are splashing to their heart's content.

Everyone was soaked from head to toe, but people were in high spirits and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

After a period of water baptism, people formed a circle and danced gracefully to the accompaniment of foot drums, regardless of age or occupation.

When they were excited, people also burst into cheers of "water, water, water".

The Water Splashing Festival of the Dai people is so festive, joyful and beautiful.
