The ethnic customs dominated by Miao nationality are rich, simple and elegant, and have far-reaching cultural connotations. The famous Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village makes tourists from all over the world linger, and the unique Leishan Miao Village Festival is even more eye-opening. Then let's learn about several important Leishan Miao festivals.

The longest-running festival-Miao drum festival is also called drum festival. It is a grand ceremony for Miao people who belong to the same drum to worship their ancestors every 13 years, commonly known as eating and storing drums. In the Drum-Tibetan Festival, a rooster must be killed first, and then pigs or cows can be killed to worship ancestors, indicating that the festival of ancestor worship comes once every 13 years.

Before killing pigs on the Drum-Tibetan Festival, the whole village must choose a good time, starting with the first drum-Tibetan head, and then the whole village will kill pigs or cows to worship their ancestors. You can't talk nonsense until noon. For example, killing a pig is called "Kuang Guanren", covering it with straw after the pig dies is called "covering the quilt", burning pig hair with covered straw is called "shining in the sun", and full is called "Man Cang", which means good luck.

When every family worships their ancestors during the Drum-Tibetan Festival, they first cut off a large piece of pork breast and cooked it, and then cut it into fist-sized pieces. After the owner burned incense and paper money, he offered pork, pork liver, fish and glutinous rice to his ancestors, and then prayed for peace and good luck to them. Some Miao villages celebrated the Drum and Tibetan Festival, and the ancient Tibetan people led a guide to take a Drake to the top of the village. After the ceremony, they came to the village from the top of the mountain, which is called bringing dragons into the village. At the same time, people were sent to worship on several hills around the stockade, and then the soil was brought back to the stockade and piled together. Every household is given a piece of comprehensive soil to take home. Put it on the shrine case, and at the same time bring back a piece of pork from every family killed by pigs in the village, cook it and eat it to worship their ancestors.

In the village where the Drum and Tibetan Festival is celebrated, every household invites all relatives to carry pig legs for the festival. The more relatives come, the happier the host is. Each group of relatives brought a duck, 10 kg rice wine and 5-9 fish (odd number) one day in advance, set off firecrackers in front of the host's house to congratulate them, and stayed in the host's house for one night. When guests go home on the festival day, the host will give them a gift in return.
