In Dehong, Yunnan Province, in the southwestern border of the motherland, there is a county with the largest Jingpo population—Longchuan. It is adjacent to Mangshi City in the east, Ruili City in the south, Lianghe County and Yingjiang County in the north, and Myanmar in the west.
The seasons here are warm, flowers bloom, and fruits continue to flow; the ethnic culture is colorful, and the locals are hospitable and kind. There are Husa Dao in the novel, which is "judgmental", fresh and delicious green leaf banquet, and various ethnic festivals...
Every year on a special festival, Jingpo people gather together, stepping on a drumbeat, accompanied by the sound of passionate gongs and wooden drums, showing the world a scene of singing and dancing that shakes mountains and rivers, and celebrating a festival together. This is Jingpo The grandest traditional festival of the ethnic group - Mu Nao Zongge Festival. And Longchuan is also known as the "Hometown of Munao Zongge" in China.
Anyone who has seen the scene of Mu Nao Zongge said that it was the most ecstatic dance in the world.
"Munao Zongge", also known as "Zongge", means "happy gathering and singing and dancing", and is the most solemn traditional national festival of the Jingpo people. In order to drive away evil and promote good, the people of Jingpo pray for good weather, prosperous people and animals, and abundant grains in the coming year, linking "Munao Zongge" with ideals and wishes. Mu Nao Zongge is known as the "Dance of Heaven" and "Dance of Thousands of People" with its miraculous origin legend and large number of participants.
From October 2nd to 4th, 2018, the 11th (2018) Munao Zongge Carnival in Longchuan County was held in Zhangfeng National Cultural Square.
The costumes of the Jingpo ethnic group are intricately patterned and radiant. On the day of the festival, tens of thousands of people put on festive costumes. I saw the man in Jingpo wielding a gleaming silver long knife, and the woman carrying a fan flutteringly in her hand. The dazzling silver ornaments clanked on the clothes, and the bright and transparent red pieces gathered together, creating a spectacular scene .
People surround the altar below Munao Shidong, the altar established by the ancestors of the Jingpo nationality in the center of the square. Jingpo compatriots dressed in festive costumes first entered the Munao Zongge Field, followed by tourists and compatriots from all over the world who came here to celebrate together.
They lined up in a long line, imitating the dance steps of birds, stepping on high-pitched and passionate drums, and striding neatly, expressing their blessings and commemorations to the national festival with heroic dancing.
When I was young, many onlookers also joined the dance team. Ten thousand people sang a song together, and ten thousand people danced together.
Not only domestic tourists are infected by the shocking phenomenon of tens of thousands of people dancing, but the annual Munao Song Song Carnival will attract people of all ethnic groups and Myanmar friends from the China-Myanmar border. They sing and dance together with the locals to jointly present a China-Myanmar culture Exchange event.
