Songming Rock, which stands on the steep stone steps in Linxia Prefecture and County, is called Sumiyan, which is a traditional venue for Hezhou Huaer to sing. Legend has it that a long time ago, a hunter was hunting and saw a beautiful girl playing and singing by the river. The hunter was fascinated by the wonderful singing, so he quietly hid in the Woods and learned to sing, singing and singing, and unconsciously sang. The girl found someone eavesdropping and quickly turned and ran to the mountain. The hunter followed closely, and she never saw the singing girl again, only the singing echoed in the mountains. Later, every year on April 8 (April 26 -28 of the lunar calendar), thousands of kind men, women and tourists came from all directions and gathered under Songming Rock to commemorate the legendary fairy who left a beautiful voice to the world. Tour the mountains to sing flowers or pray for disaster relief, ask God to make a wish, and hold a Buddhist Longhua conference. Since the Ming Dynasty, temples have been built, including Jade Emperor Pavilion, Bodhisattva Hall and Governor Temple. The annual folk song festival, "Flower Festival" also came into being. During each session, tens of thousands of people from all ethnic groups in Le Kang, Linxia, Guanghe, Zhenghe, Dongxiang, Lintao and Zhuoni counties gathered in Songmingyan, tents were everywhere, and various vendors were all over the mountains.

Songmingyan Flower Festival mainly sings Hezhou Flower in the form of solo, duet and chorus, and there are improvisations such as historical stories, local customs and love songs. It is unique in that some singers sing with musical instruments. Instrumental performances mainly include Mimi, Siheizi, Suona, Banhu, Erhu, etc., which add color to Hua Er's singing. According to legend, in ancient times, the Mu Ye Canyon was deep and unpredictable, and there was a black python that haunted people and killed them. Belonging to the Year of the Loong, the Empress Dowager gave a banquet in Yaochi for a flat peach, and the Golden Flower Queen of Kunlun Mountain set off in a cloud with a lotus flower that has been cultivated for thousands of years. When passing through the Mu Ye Canyon, I saw smoke billowing and black gas rising into the sky, blocking the cloud road. Then a black python bared its teeth and stabbed her with a sword. Empress Jinhua gently shook the lotus, giving birth to thousands of rays of sunshine, only to hear an earth-shattering noise. A stone mountain shaped like a lotus stands on the bank of the Mu Ye Canyon, crushing the black python down the mountain. Since then, the weather has been favorable and the grain has been abundant. The people were grateful and built a temple for the Golden Flower Goddess in Lianhua Mountain. Jade Emperor Pavilion, Zixiao Palace and Niangniang Temple were successively completed. When the temple was completed to celebrate, a melodious and loud song fell from the sky. Looking inside, I saw two fairies holding flower umbrellas, shaking colorful fans, climbing lotus flowers, singing flowers and dancing. People were fascinated by this wonderful song and couldn't help singing together. Lotus Mountain suddenly became an ocean of flowers. "In June, the lotus is sunny and the mountains are like snow lotus; Fairy songs are beautiful, and flowers are passed down from generation to generation. " In this way, the lotus flowers will be passed down from generation to generation.

Every year from the first day of June to the sixth day of the lunar calendar, singers and people of all ethnic groups, such as Han, Hui, Tibetan and Dongxiang, from seven surrounding counties gather in Lianhua Mountain, walking together and singing flowers. Mainly sing "Lotus Hill Preface" duet, and Hezhou Hua Dan also came to entertain. Lotus Mountain Flower Festival has a unique form. There are procedures such as road closure, hiking, singing, toasting and farewell. Singing while walking, interspersed with each other, flexible and diverse. Lotus Mountain Flower Festival is like a beautiful movement. On the first and second day of each year, Zu Guchuan's party at the foot of Lianhua Mountain is the opening song. On the third and fourth day of each year, traveling and singing in the mountains is the climax; On the fifth day of every year, from the Wang Jiagou Gate, 30 kilometers away from Lianhua Mountain, we sing nocturnes around the bonfire; At the dawn of the sixth day, climb the twenty-mile-high Zisong Mountain, get together to sing and raise a glass to say goodbye. This is the end. Among them, blocking roads is the most unique and interesting. Lianhua Mountain is rich in Ma Lian. The local people use Ma Lian to twist a rope to block Chaoshan singers, then answer questions and sing duets until the people who block the way are satisfied. When the mountain meeting was held, almost every intersection was set up to sing, and the songs came and went.

Flowers are streams flowing in the mountains. Now, she has flowed out of the mountain and into the river. ...
