Q: When will the Menglian Divine Fish Festival be held? A: Menglian God Fish Festival is held from April 10 to April 13 every year.

Menglian God Fish Festival is a festival celebrated by people to thank the "God Fish" for their kindness to mankind. It is also an original ecological national cultural tourism project. Known as the "Oriental Water Carnival", it is the most distinctive festival in Yunnan Province. The time is from April 10 to April 13 every year.

There are many beautiful legends and stories about the origin of the Divine Fish Festival among the Dai people in Menglian. According to legend, a long time ago, Dai lived a hard life. The Buddha specially sent bracken and sacred fish to the places where Dai people lived to improve people's living conditions.

It is said that once, the Buddha sent a magic fish to Menglian to deliver food seeds. On the way, he was accidentally caught by the devil, and he used it to barbecue with fire. His body was burnt and one eye stood out. At this time, the magic fish suddenly remembered the mission of sending grain seeds. He desperately escaped from his clutches, jumped into the river and sent the grain seeds to Menglian. On the body of the sacred fish, there are still traces of being roasted by fire, with white eyes, one eye protruding outward and the tail rolled up.

With the seeds of grain, the life of Menglian people has been greatly improved, but it is not perfect. Then the Buddha sent the sacred fish and bracken to Menglian, enriching the life of the people in Menglian. But both fish and bracken have growth cycles, so we can't catch and pick them indiscriminately. They must choose an auspicious day to hunt and pick a lot.

In this way, in order to accept the Buddha's gift and remember the arrival of happy moments, every April, the local people will hold a grand "God Fish Festival", and people will enjoy fishing carnival on this day. The "God Fish Festival" has been passed down from generation to generation, and tens of thousands of people go down the river to catch "God Fish" during the festival every year, which has become a spectacular scenery next to Nayun ancient town.

It is said that in ancient times, the God Fish Festival was the happiest time for local people, because it was the day when the toast allowed fishing in rivers where fishing was forbidden, so the God Fish Festival became the most lively festival in Menglian County. Today, when the festival comes, people will chant scriptures and offer sacrifices to the "God Fish" and hold religious ceremonies, hoping that the "God Fish" will bring endless blessings to mankind. At the same time, there will be activities such as releasing fish during the festival, which has actually become a festival to educate people to protect fish.
