Let’s celebrate the authentic New Year of the Yi nationality!
The Yi Calendar New Year is called "Kushi" in Yi language, and as the name suggests, it is the New Year of the Yi people.
It originated from the October solar calendar of the Yi people, one of the oldest calendars in the world, and is the most important and solemn traditional national festival of the Yi people.
The Yi Nationality New Year Festival is celebrated for three days, and every day is different.
The first day of the Yi New Year is called "Ku Shi". On this day, men will kill pigs for the New Year, and children will also hold a ceremony of "asking for buckwheat cakes". This is how the Yi calendar New Year begins.
The second day is called "Duobo", which is a day of reunion. Relatives and friends go from house to house, play Yueqin, sing New Year's songs, drink wine, and gather together.
This day is a very lively day. The people of the whole village gather together, and every household will let the children bring "bent pig's feet" and other delicacies, and gather at the head of the village for picnic activities.
The third day is called "Boji". On this morning, every family will get up before dawn to hold a ceremony to send off their ancestors, praying for the health and harmony of their descendants.
