Ba Long Festival is a traditional festival of Hani people in Yunnan.

People living in a big agricultural country, farming is the basis of survival for thousands of years. In the long practice of agricultural production, the Han people have formed twenty-four solar terms to guide farming, and the Hani people have formed a festival to tell their people when to do something-the Dragon Basket Festival, to announce the busy farming season, so let the Hani traditional festival introduce it to you.

Ba Long Festival is a traditional festival of Hani nationality in Yunnan. Every year in the middle of March of the lunar calendar, it is held by the "Longbatou" in Zhaili. The purpose of celebrating this festival is to tell people that we have entered a busy farming period since then.

During the Dragon Basket Festival, the whole village joined hands and planted dragon baskets around the stockade. At the beginning of the dragon basket, a big dragon head and a pair of Woodenhead were placed. The faucet is placed on the door, and Woodenhead is placed on the roof inside the door.

Wolong said it was a good year with good weather, while a pair of Woodenhead warned all young people not to fall in love from now on. During the festival, the village is full of solemn and pleasant atmosphere, and men, women and children are holding wooden "handicrafts". The strong man raised the fire mill and rang in the air to show good luck. Girls are also secretly looking for their lifelong partners. Housewives took out their prepared white wine one after another, and everyone danced and drank.

Foreigners are not allowed to enter the village during the festival, otherwise the harvest year will be washed away and bring disaster to the village. As soon as the festival was over, the whole village, led by Long Bart, began to farm in the fields. From then on, except for important things, everyone can't go out casually when they are busy.
