There are more than 20,000 motorcyclists living in three Hani mountain towns: Langdi, Dayang Street and Chegu in Honghe County, Yunnan Province. Every year in the first year of the monkey in April of the lunar calendar, a grand Girls' Day is held. Many motorcyclists will get to know each other, from knowing each other to falling in love, everything will be fine and they will grow old together.
On this day of the festival, beautiful girls get up early in the morning and are busy dressing themselves in front of the mirror and putting on beautiful clothes carefully sewn. This dress is the painstaking efforts of many girls for one year or even two years, because the clothes worn by the girls in the car not only have national characteristics, but also have very fine workmanship, all of which are carefully sewn by hand. There are many beautiful silver ornaments on this beautiful cycling girl dress.
Look, this is the beautiful girl playing with a car: wearing a tight turtle suit, which is divided into three parts: underwear, middle (lining) clothes and coat. The underwear is called "Quepa", the middle (lining) clothes are called "Queba" and the coat is called "Quelang". Wearing shorts, tightly wrapped in a pair of bare and fit thighs; A beautiful belt made of four strands of hemp rope is tied around the waist. This beautiful belt is called "Paa", with silver-refined fish, snails, birds and other ornaments. Bai Nen wears a pair of delicate silver bracelets on her wrist. They are graceful and curvy. On this day of the festival, girls who love to dress up should each wear at least seven "sparrows" to show their exquisite craftsmanship and graceful posture.
There is also a beautiful legend about Cheyou Girls' Day: It is said that a long time ago, the ancestors of Cheyou lived in a place called "Noma Ami", where the scenery was beautiful and the food was rich. Later, the powerful enemy discovered the beautiful life of "Norma Ami". After trying to seize this beautiful scenery, they chased the motorcyclist by force, and the motorcyclist was forced to move south. After several generations, they were attacked by enemies from other tribes, and the riders were forced to migrate again. During the migration, the team leader gave the bamboo pieces with the names of all the riders to a young man named Yang A for protection.
At this time, Yang Yi, riding a big white horse, turned to look at the women and children on the way to migration and the lover riding behind him. The class immediately understood Yang's meaning, so they jumped off the big white horse and helped the old people move forward. When the motorcyclist came to a place called Mengdu, Yang Afen told the man to hide with women and children in the blooming white camellia with a white cloth on his head as a cover. At this time, the pursuers had arrived in Mengdu. After Yang Ajian led the villagers to do a good job of covering, he immediately shot and killed ninety-nine enemies chasing in front with sharp arrows. Unexpectedly, after the arrow was shot, another 999 enemies approached him. At this time, Yang couldn't escape. He was afraid that the villagers who had fled with him and hid in the tea bushes would be found and killed by the enemy. In order to protect the safety of the villagers and prevent the list of riders he carried with him from falling into the hands of the enemy, Yang A swallowed bamboo pieces engraved with the names of riders at a critical moment.
At this time, an enemy arrow hit Yang's chest, and he immediately became another tree after he fell down. Yang's mount, a white horse, roared and turned into a meadow. Seeing all this, the enemy thought that God was protecting the motorcyclists, so they quickly withdrew their troops and fled. After that, he never dared to chase motorcyclists again. The day when Yang A died heroically was the first year of the Monkey in March of the lunar calendar. Since then, on this day every year, Yang Azeng's lover Reina will go to Mengdu to pay homage to Yang A's family ... In the eyes of riders, Yang A is a great hero; In the eyes of riding a woman, Yang A is her "Prince Charming". Therefore, whenever yang a's memorial day comes, girls will spontaneously come to Mengdu to worship yang a. With the change of history, the day of worshipping Aya has become a special festival for girls who are free to love and pursue happiness-Aunt's Day, which has been passed down to this day.
During the festival, all the girls in car games are as beautiful as Bimei. On this day, the girls were very happy, invited each other and came to Mencius, the capital city near the village. The girls in ten villages and eight villages gathered like a flood, which was very lively. On this day, the boys are all dressed up, wearing token of love and playing melodious trumpet, all dressed up handsomely. Every girl in the car is wearing a small white umbrella, carrying a little fairy around her waist and wearing a bright hat on her shoulders. The girls gathered in pairs in Mengdu, singing and dancing, laughing and laughing. Some of the beautiful girls in the car are playing the little sanxian, and some are playing the harmonica to sing with the young man. Once you meet a bosom friend, the two sides exchange tokens and form a century-old friendship.
