Water splashing is the most important traditional activity of the Water Splashing Festival. People splash water on each other and bless each other. The Dai people often say: "This is the annual Water Splashing Festival, and whoever you like can splash water." Splashing water conveys the sincere friendship and love between young men and women. Splashing water expresses people's mutual blessings. Shengji's water washes away people's hard work, sweat, worries and sorrows for a year. Sprinkle joy and holy water to visitors and passers-by from afar. To show respect and welcome to guests and spread friendship to friends from all over.
At two or three o'clock on April 12th, the small Dai town was like boiling water. Groups of girls and boys in various ethnic costumes chased each other, pouring buckets of love on each other. At this time, people on the streets of the small town have forgotten their age. Middle-aged men and women are holding water guns and shooting at the innocence. There are even people with childlike innocence hiding in high places, and when you are running away in a hurry, you will get another pot in your pocket, so that you can't guard against it. But you are never annoyed, only surprised, because everyone is cheering and laughing in a friendly way. The whole town has no worries, it is a carnival festival. You scream with joy when a basin of water is poured on others, and you scream when someone pours a basin of water on it. This is a festival that everyone participates in, and you can play the leading role as long as you want.
"Kang! Bang! Bang!" The gongs are ringing, and people are spinning and dancing to the rhythm, and the colorful costumes shine with colorful lights. Light and shadow are changing in a hurry, heroism and tenderness are intertwined. The dancers are trembling, the spectators are trembling, and the red earth is trembling. The exposed vitality makes the ancient red earth become younger under the rotating sun.
The water flies again, like a goddess scattering flowers, mercury pouring down the ground, gently flying to the happy crowd accompanied by dance steps, a kind of transparency, a kind of refreshing and clear, a kind of unobstructed soul after bathing The comfort makes the whole canyon convey the story of spring everywhere.
On Xuanwei Avenue, splashing water is the main battlefield. Water pipes installed in advance across the road were spraying water, and people poured water on everyone at the pools set up on both sides of the road. The people upstairs fell down on the people on the street, forming a chaotic and happy mess; trumpets sounded and drums beat in unison, which was the opportunity for some enterprises to carry out activities. They put on Dai costumes and carried banners. No matter how much passers-by splashed water, they marched in order. Groups of publicity teams passed by, groups of people crowded around, chasing and splashing water. Some handsome guys always chased the beauties to play with the water, and the beauties also fought back bravely. A few foreigners who were watching the scenery crossed the avenue, and a group of people chased them and threw water at them. They were soaked all over, like "chicken soup." However, the foreigners always had a constant smile on their faces.
At 2 o'clock, the whole city was filled with smoke, water splashes were flying, water vapor was rising, a mist rose in the air, the scorching sun became shady, and a rainbow arched over Splashing Water Square. The scene. Spectacular. There were seven or eight police officers standing in the corner of the square doing security work. I stood with them. No one dared to splash water, so I kept taking pictures. In the crowd, people bend down to fill the water, bow down to splash water, then pour water, straight up to pour water; the figures are swaying, shouts, complaints, and the sound of water are heard together; the sound of water is rushing, the laughter is loud; the postures are different, The color of the clothes is elegant. Everyone's clothes were soaked, their faces were full of smiles, and they splashed holy water together to receive good luck. The clothes of men, women and children are soaked, revealing the graceful curves of their bodies. The waists, figures, buttocks, and breast peaks are fully exposed in various postures. There are even a few ladies in white, with the dark halo of the perineum visible on both sides. The beauty of the human body is displayed fearlessly.
