Yunnan Cangyuan Touch You Black Carnival is a large-scale tourism and cultural festival built by Cangyuan county party committee and government since 2004. It is held in the beautiful Cangyuan from April 29th to 2nd every year.
In the festival of darkness, the most distinctive activity is darkness. The specific way of this activity is that at night, young people will wear black clothes and masks, quietly enter the village, find their favorite object, and then touch each other's faces in the dark to express their love.
If the other person has a good impression, he will respond to the person he secretly loves. If the other person doesn't like it, he will fight back with the bamboo stick in his hand. Although this activity seems strange, it is an important part of local culture and a way for young people to exchange feelings.
Touch your black day culture.
Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County has launched a "Touch You Black" activity in Sigangli Carnival in order to build a brand of Wa culture and deeply sing Wa culture. The Wa nationality is a nation whose beauty is black. Wa people think black is a symbol of hard work and health.
Therefore, almost all Wa costumes are based on black. As early as in the past, the Wa people had the custom of dyeing their hair. They think that the combination of bright black teeth and healthy black skin can keep the Wa people in step. There is still a saying that we can dance together if we are in step, and we can laugh together if our teeth are black.
Then, in the "Touch Your Black" activity, whose black is the most beautiful? Looking forward to the future, longing for beauty, pursuing happiness and praying for peace and good luck are the true meaning of the positive life of the Awa people. For the eternal yearning for life, the Wa ancestors had many magical legends.
