Chapter 1: My hometown is in the beautiful Dehong-Yingjiang, which is known as the hometown of peacocks.
The mountains, water and people here are more beautiful! There are many traditional festivals in my hometown, such as Songkran Festival, Songkran Festival and Spring Festival. I especially like the water-splashing festival. Songkran Festival is the biggest festival of Dai people, and it is also the most influential festival with the largest number of participants in ethnic festivals. Songkran Festival is the Dai New Year, which is equivalent to the middle of April in Gregorian calendar. The Songkran Festival usually lasts 3 to 7 days. During the festival, there are many "water splashing hands" carrying buckets to prepare for war everywhere in the street, including many tourists from different places.
On the street, all kinds of convertibles carry men, women and children slowly past, and the people in the car shoot each other with water guns and even water pipes. There are also many children hiding in the dark to launch a "sneak attack" and throw balloon bombs filled with water at pedestrians on the road. If you are not careful, you will attract passers-by riding motorcycles and scare people. I am a little girl of Dai nationality, and I am always excited at the Water-splashing Festival. Early in the morning, I put on a beautiful peacock skirt, carrying a water gun, and invited friends to join in the fun in the square. I'm always soaked to the skin before I go home.
Do you like our Songkran Festival? If you like, come to our Dehong Yingjiang every year in the middle of April in the solar calendar, and I will definitely let you appreciate our local customs.
Chapter 2: Celebrating the Water-splashing Festival. Summer is coming, and the lotus by the pool blooms the sweetest smile. Cicada stopped under the thick branches and kept calling. They are celebrating the arrival of the Songkran Festival!
The arrival of the Songkran Festival has brought vitality to the whole Xishuangbanna. Many foreign tourists also came to Xishuangbanna, and the streets were crowded with people, which was very lively.
On June 4th, 65438, my mother took my cousin and me to Man Ting Park to take part in some snatching activities. In this busy place, there are all kinds of cotton candy, handicrafts, toys, jewelry and barbecue. We chose a lawn to sit down and enjoy the Dai barbecue while enjoying the beautiful lakes and mountains. Although the hot sun made everyone sweat profusely, they still couldn't take away the bright smiles on people's faces. The whole park is full of festive atmosphere. ...
On June 5438+05, the water splashing activity officially began. After the colorful float parade, the street was filled with revelry. People use pots, water guns and buckets to scoop water and scatter it into the sky. Then they rushed to the crowd playfully, screaming and shouting, and the water splashing activities reached an unprecedented climax. The whole square has become a happy world of ocean and water. ...
In the evening, after watching the wonderful performances in the square, people flocked to the river, put down beautiful lanterns and made good wishes. Until those lanterns fly into the sky and gradually disappear into the sky. ...
The song of the Songkran Festival is endless, and the sound of splashing water is endless. I am looking forward to the carnival and happiness next year. ...
Chapter three: the origin of the composition of the water-splashing festival. Students, do you know the origin of the water-splashing festival? Let me tell you something.
Songkran Festival is a custom of Dai people.
Legend has it that there is a fire demon whose body and hair are very hot. Huoyao Cave is close to a village where the Dai people live. One day, the fire demon called everyone to the cave and chose six beautiful women as wives from the cave. The next day, it found another smart and beautiful woman and proposed to her. Because today, the fire demon either burned this person to death or roasted that person to death. The youngest wife asked him, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of anything? "Fire demon said," I'm afraid someone will pull out a hair from my head. So, while waiting for the fire devil to sleep, she called six sisters together and pulled the hair off the fire devil's head. When she pulled it down, the fire demon screamed in pain, turned into a big fireball and rolled out of the cave. The youngest wife raised the fireball to stop it from rolling, but the fireball stopped burning, but the mud fell. At this time, people heard the news and sprinkled water from the river on her to represent celebration and exorcism.
Since then, the Dai people have had this custom.
Chapter 4: Water-splashing Festival In this dazzling and colorful festival, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is my most unforgettable day. This is the Dai people's Water-splashing Festival.
Today's sky is blue, like a piece of blue satin. White clouds are like fermented cotton candy, and white clouds are on blue satin. It's a beautiful day. The "Water-splashing Festival" has begun. Let's buy a small basin. It's splashing. Each of us has a small basin full of gold and silver. Then, we threw it at others. Clear water, spill it, spill it! My sister and I laughed and danced! How happy, happy. What an interesting time!
In addition to splashing water, catching ducks at sea and crossing the bridge that day! On the second day of the Songkran Festival, the duck catching competition began! I saw big brothers bravely jump into the water to catch ducks. Wow! It's fun to watch big brother catch ducks. I have been to the pontoon bridge, only to see that the bridge is made of banana leaves, let alone adults. Even when I got on the bridge, I was sinking. An elder sister went to the pontoon bridge for the first time and only saw her running all the time. Halfway through, she went astray and fell directly into the water. At this time, I asked my grandfather, "Grandpa, why did you catch a duck to cross the bridge?" Grandpa proudly said: "catching ducks means you will have good luck this year, and crossing the pontoon bridge will keep you safe all your life!" " "At this time grandpa let me go and see the rich bridge. Wow! An aunt, she really crossed the bridge.
Songkran Festival is the favorite festival of Dai people, and it is also the happiest festival of Dai people. If you really want to experience the joy of the Songkran Festival, go to Baoting as a guest!
Chapter 5: Songkran Festival Songkran Festival is a very interesting day. On that day, the old man will dip a little water in the branch and sprinkle it on the children. Pedestrians in the street also throw water at each other, which represents good wishes.
On the day of the Water-splashing Festival, if someone throws water, everything he does this year will be smooth and happy. The more people throw at him, the happier he will be.
Legend has it that there was once a great demon. He is bad and often damages other people's crops, but he is strong, so the villagers have no choice but to run and walk. This demon has twelve wives, all of whom are smart and beautiful, and the twelfth wife is the cleverest. The devil's behavior made them very angry, so the twelfth wife thought of a way. One day, she was so happy that the devil coaxed her. She took the opportunity to ask, "Your Majesty, why can't the villagers kill you again and again?" When he was happy, he let slip: "Who can pull out a hair of mine and strangle me?" . You can't tell anyone! "Late at night, the twelfth wife killed the devil in this way. However, as soon as the head landed, it ignited a raging fire. The fire went out as soon as you looked up. No way, they had to take turns holding bloody heads. When the villagers saw that they were all bloody, they splashed them with water. Thus, there was the "Water-splashing Festival".
Songkran Festival brings blessings and good luck. If someone splashes water on the day of the water-splashing festival, you may be lucky one day!
Chapter 6: Unforgettable Water-splashing Festival Today, my classmates and I flew to Xishuangbanna to play with Miss Mei. We got off the plane just in time for the Dai people's annual Water-splashing Festival.
We came to the street curiously, and there was laughter everywhere. Knowing that we come from the distant hometown of red-crowned cranes, Dai children affectionately call us "red-crowned cranes". Dai children's clothes are very beautiful, and they are children from peacock's hometown, so we affectionately call them "peacocks". Haha, how interesting!
It began to splash water. We drop perfume in the water, they scatter colorful petals in the water, we splash each other hard, we pour happiness on them, and they pour happiness on us. Although everyone was wet, everyone laughed.
We sing, dance and watch fireworks together. How happy we are! Finally, we reluctantly left there with Miss Mei.
Chapter 7: Happy Songkran Festival The annual Songkran Festival is coming. My parents and I went to Lingshan to attend the Water-splashing Festival.
In the morning, my parents and I get up early. We wore parent-child clothes, got on the bus during menstruation and set off. Along the way, my brother and I unconsciously reached Lingshan in the battle. I was shocked by what I saw when I got off the bus. Rows of cars crowded the square. People in high spirits rushed to the entrance with water guns, basins and buckets.
Several of us also hurriedly ran to the entrance. Just entering the door, a big basin of water suddenly splashed on us. Our clothes got wet at once and became soaked. My brother and I are looking for the target with a water gun, ready to fight back. Our first target is a little girl. My brother and I seized the opportunity and suddenly shot her in hiding, covered in water. With the concerted efforts of my brother Qi Xin and me, we finally repelled her.
We were immersed in the joy of victory when suddenly a stream of water came at us. When my brother and I looked back, it turned out to be our old acquaintance Geng. We quickly picked up the water gun to fight back. I shot to the right and my brother shot to the left. We cooperated tacitly and finally beat him to nowhere to hide and beg for mercy. Others were carried and thrown into the water tank, which caused people to burst into laughter.
Here, screams, laughter, cheers and splashing water converge into a beautiful symphony.
How time flies! We have to go. Looking at our wet clothes, my brother and I smiled happily.
This is my happiest day in this hot summer vacation.
Chapter 8: The Carnival Water-splashing Festival has long heard that Song Cheng is fun. As soon as we came here, we met the annual Water-splashing Festival.
Everyone met and came to a big square, which was surrounded by people from three floors inside and three floors outside. Many people have pots and water guns in their hands, and everyone is looking forward to that exciting moment.
Around 8 o'clock, colorful lights lit up around. The host shouted happily on the radio: "Holy water is coming!" As soon as the voice fell, the cheerful music began! Earth-shattering drums and trumpets also sounded! Trees in all directions are covered with "organs"-water columns gush out from there, 7 or 8 meters high. They interweave into a huge water network in the air, and suddenly, people are swallowed up in water vapor and fog.
The square is boiling! Some people have become "drowned mice" before they know it, so they quickly "run away"; Some people "plot against" and simply buckle the basin on their heads as an "umbrella"; Clever, quickly grab the washbasin and scoop water from the big sink, throwing it at others crazily; There is also passion to splash and "kill" each other; Several people "bully others" and "bomb" one person in turn; Some people who are hesitant, before throwing others, were robbed of the basin by others, and with a backhand, the water spilled on themselves; Others simply threw it at us unarmed bystanders, so we had to step back and "surrender" ...
The gongs and drums are loud, and the water is splashing. People laugh, run, make noise, scream, whistle and shout, and form a sea of joy!
The carnival lasted for more than an hour before it ended. The participants were all wet, and the water fell down their hair and clothes. At first glance, it's really funny!
The water in the Songkran Festival is auspicious and happy. May auspiciousness and happiness always accompany each of us!
