The next morning, they went to an empty village. On the third day, after the flower dance, the guests went to a nearby Miao village to stay, drink blowing sheng and play strings, and had a good time. Flower trees were sent to the homes of long-term famine victims by the elders in the village, and the famine victims were overjoyed and entertained guests.

Today, jump flower festival has become a grand festival for people of all ethnic groups. At that time, neighboring villages will flock to Anshun City.
