The Water Splashing Festival
潑水節(jié)是傣族最隆重的節(jié)日,也是云南少數(shù)民族節(jié)日中影響最大的節(jié)日。潑水節(jié)是傣歷新年,相當(dāng)于公歷的四月中旬。在潑水節(jié)上,人們通過潑水表達(dá)一種美好的祝愿。
The annual Water Splashing Festival of the Dai ethnic minority falls during the New Year celebrations of the Dai Calendar.It is the most important festival observed① by the Dai ethnic people of Xishuangbanna Prefecture.
The festival lasts for three days.The first two days’ activities are concentrated on the banks of the Lancang River.On the first day,a grand celebration marks the beginning of the festival.An out-door market is set up,where locals go for New Year shopping.It is also a great place to purchase② local souvenirs(禮品).Local food and snacks are other highlights traveler may not want to miss.Artists create sand carvings on open space close to the market.A dragon boat race is held on the Lancang River to ring out the old year in the afternoon.At night,the banks of the river are colourfully lit,and locals float river lanterns on the river.Floating river lanterns is an old tradition③ in China,which is still preserved④ in many cities today.The practice is thought to drive bad luck away and bring good luck.
The third day,the climax of the festival,is reserved for water splashing.On that day,the Dai put on their newest and best clothes,then assemble⑤ at the local Buddhist temple.The Water Splashing ceremony,however,is more than just good-natured fun;it also contains a religious element: water is regarded by the Dai as a symbol,firstly,of religious purification(凈化),but also of goodwill among people.Therefore,splashing a fellow human being with water during the Water Splashing Festival,whether a close neighbour or a fellow villager,or even a stranger,is an expression of the desire for good luck and prosperity(繁榮) to that person.
For the tourist,the annual Water Splashing Festival that takes place in the month of April is the perfect occasion.
