Wuliu
Fertility Festival
This year I already
heard there would be the Miao Fertility Festival in Wuliu which
is just about 6km away from my village, this festival is just after
the Miao year new of my village. I also had a long time no stay
with my parents, brothers, sisters spending the Miao new year, so
I went back to my village to spend the Miao new year without arranging
any tours, I want to have some free with my family.

The Fertility festival
in Wuliu is also held once every 13 years, the festival lasts 3
years, my father says this year is the last year, so there probably
would be more than 20000 people coming to join the festival, thousands
of Miao girls in holiday bests will dance at the foot of the village.
I think it might be very interesting, but it's hard to know the
right date for the dancing ceremony, so one day I decided go to
Wuliu to find out the right information.

It was a family hiking tour, my son, my wife and my father-in-law
joined the tour, it took us 1 hours and 24 minutes to get to the
village by walk. When we got to the edge of the big Wuliu village,
we didn't see anyone dress festival dress, but I didn't want to
come back with any good news, so I decided to try to get some information.
The answer is that the best day for the dancing ceremony will be
2 weeks later, it was too late for me, fortunately there was a small
ceremony on that day. The villagers will bring the wooden drum to
visit another smaller Miao village, in fact there are total 4 villages.
So of course I didn't want to lose this chance.

While waiting for
the ceremony, I saw a silver smith wash silver ornaments for the
villgaers for the festival, I already met this man before in the
other villge, he came from Maliao villge which is about 50km away
from here. After waiting for about 1 and half hours, the ceremony
started, I followed the ceremony group and took many pictures, I
found it very interesting, so I puted the pictures on my web site,
hope everyone can enjoy the pictures, because it' quite unusual.
For more information of the Fertility festival, please visit
my article-Miao Fertility Festival in Langde, it's almost the same
as my village's, but only one thing is different, my villgae brings
the mountain to each family's home by beating bronze drum, but people
worship wooden drum in Wuliu village, and they beat the bronze drum
once every 13 years, of course they will beat the wooden drum for
several days during the festival.
