You splash, I splash, everyone splash, pouring more and more joy ~

Traditional activities of Dai Le include quarrying and courtship, peacock dancing and majestic elephant foot drum dancing, cultural performances, sports competitions, etc. Many tourists from home and abroad have come here to spend this happy water-splashing festival with Dai people and forged long-term friendships. This grand festival is generally celebrated together at the Manfeilong Pagoda and Gaozhuang West Shuangjing in the tourist resort of Jinghong County.

The Water-Splashing Festival, the most anticipated large-scale festival every year, originated in southern Yunnan, but is currently sought after by the public.

Water splashing is the most important activity of the Water Splashing Festival. People splash water and bless each other. Dai family people often say: "Every year, we can splash anyone who can appreciate it." Splashing water conveyed the sincere friendship and love between the young men and women of the Dai family. Splashing water expresses their blessings to each other. The holy water washes away all their troubles, hard work, and sorrows for a year. Sprinkle joy and peace to visitors from afar. Show respect and welcome to guests and pass on friendship to friends from all directions.

Legend has it that in ancient farming times, it was managed by a god named Zhanmadian Dalazha. However, with his brilliant magic skills and magical abilities, he displayed his divine power and did whatever he wanted. He could rain and cool down if he wanted, causing the imbalance of cold and warm in the world, and confusing rain and drought. The god Indattila decided to punish the Ma Dian Dalazha who caused disaster to the world. However, due to the Ma Dian Dalazha's brilliant magic, the gods and immortals did not dare to touch him. The seven kind and beautiful girls were very dissatisfied with what their father had done. They were determined to annihilate their relatives with righteousness and eliminate disasters and difficulties in the world. The girls discussed privately that to get rid of their heinous father, they must discover the secret of their father's life and death. Dalacha, holding the hemp dot, unknowingly revealed his secret of life and death while laughing and laughing: he was not afraid of fire, flooding, knives, or arrows. What he was afraid of was using his hair to make a "bow plug slaughter"

The girls made their father drunk. While he was sleeping soundly, they quietly plucked out a strand of his hair and made it a "bow plug slaughter". When they aimed the "bow and plug" at Dalacha, his neck was broken. As soon as his head landed on the ground, a fire broke out, and the fire spread everywhere. In order to extinguish the evil fire, the seven girls took turns holding the heads of Daracha in their arms until they rotted. During the rotation, the girls would bring clean water and splash it on themselves to wash away the stains and stench on their bodies.

In order to commemorate the seven girls who sacrificed their relatives and eliminated pests for the people, when the Dai family celebrated the New Year, they all held water-splashing activities to eliminate disasters and difficulties. They wished good weather, a bumper harvest, and prosperity for people and livestock in the new year. The "wrist brain" in the Dai New Year is the day when the head of Dalacha is rotted, and the water-splashing activity is held on this day.
