The Miao Flower Mountain Festival is a grand festival for the Miao people. "Treading on the Flower Mountain" is a performance item in the Flower Mountain Festival. It is distributed in Pengshui Miao and Tujia Autonomous County. It mainly involves many young Miao men and women wearing festive costumes and forming a large circle to sing and dance. It is a celebration of good fortune and happiness. The exact origin is not yet known. "Stepping on Huashan" is another name for the free love of local Miao young men and women. Before the festival, a prestigious old person chooses an open space that symbolizes "auspiciousness" as the "jumping ground", and puts up flower poles to tidy up the surrounding environment and prepare for young men and women to step on the flower mountain. During the ceremony, red flags were waving, gongs and drums were noisy, and firecrackers were blasting. Young people from all over the country came to the flower poles. They were dressed in double-breasted shorts, long green scarves on their heads, and cloth belts around their waists. Women wearing lace patterns or cross-stitch clothing and wearing jewelry such as silver earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces sing and dance around the flower pole to the beats of national musical instruments such as the reed, suona and huqin. During the song and dance, if the young man finds the person he likes, he will quickly take off the umbrella from his waist and hold it towards the girl. A promise that the woman will half push and half comply with if she likes it. If you don't like it, immediately go around to the girl's circle and hide. If both men and women like it, they will express their feelings under the umbrella and understand each other's situation in the form of antiphonal songs. At the same time, young and middle-aged men also have to hold a pole climbing competition according to the traditional habits of the Miao family.
