Fete de Lusheng chez les Miao a Huangping
3-5 novembre 2010
It is the Carnival to Miao people.
Miao people in Huangping area like to celebrate their harvesting by a ”Carnival”.
During that time, all the boys are cheking and reparing their Lusheng—a tradinal musical instrument to Miaos, all the girls there are busy making their tradinal costume which is full of embroidery work and silver ornement.
When the day comes, in Gulong middle school, it is real the sea of human, you can see about 50000 people are gathering there. then boys plays Lusheng for competing to each other, to see which one can produce the highest voice and the most beautiful melody. of course, boys also play it for attracting girls. gils are in the festivel costumes which is made by their own hand, they wear it also for attracting boys.
Then, one of the oldest entertainmeng for Miaos—-buffloe fighting, is really exciting to Miao people, you can see that their mind and emotion are totally occupied by it. Buffloe goes, horse comes, horse racing is other way for boys show their charming, something is strange here, they just bearly ride on the back of the horses, they don’t need stirrups and saddle, so a lot of the boys fall down of the horse and lost their charming accordingly.
