Legend has it that in ancient times, when xi observed the sky from clouds and hills, he determined the calendar of the ancient sun and moon. Qiu Yun holds a temple fair every year, which is called "Zhonghe Festival". In the Tang Dynasty, the Zhonghe Festival was extremely grand, and everyone regarded it as very important, from the emperor's ministers to villagers and beggars. People take this opportunity to worship God and pray for good weather, abundant crops, all the best and happiness in the coming year.
As early as before, Zhonghe Festival was officially included in the national intangible cultural heritage. On February 15, thousands of people gathered here to attend the annual grand event. In addition, Zhonghe Festival is also a date for unmarried men and women. At that time, the boy was holding a whip and the girl was carrying two flower baskets. If a girl has a crush on a boy, she will leave a flower basket. When a boy has a crush on a girl, he will stab a flower basket. If a girl finds that the flower basket provoked by a boy and the flower basket in her hand make up a pair, she will entrust herself to each other, and a pair of lovers will become a family.

The Taoist children of later generations are all famous, and they have come here to "punch in". Seeing that this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by ancient trees and full of aura, I stayed in the mountains to practice and lived next to local villagers, gradually forming a village. Talpo ancient village, known as the living fossil of residential buildings, is the most historic and traditional scenic spot here.
Here, people can listen to folk customs under the ancient locust tree, drink a bowl of tea at the tea brother's house, eat oily steamed bread at the aunt's house, and sleep in the cave hotel. Various special experiences are overwhelming. What is even more impressive is that the local villagers have always maintained the wedding custom of "Six Rites", that is, asking names, betrothing, changing posts, exchanging visits, accepting employment and welcoming relatives. This set of traditional wedding etiquette is only reserved among people in the mountainous areas of Qiu Yun, and has been passed down to this day.
