What are the sayings about the origin of Ganqiu Festival?

There are three theories about the origin of Autumn Festival: 1. It is said that there was a man named Baguida in Miao Village who lost a flower shoe when he shot Shan Ying. In order to find the owner of the flower shoes, Bagui Daya designed the "Autumn for Eight" windmill to invite the men and women in the village to play, and then found the owner of the flower shoes, which later evolved into an autumn festival. Shennong sent a man and a woman to the east to look for the seeds for planting grain. Miao people call it Qiu Gong Qiu Po, and autumn festival is an activity held by Miao ancestors to thank Shennong and Qiu Gong Qiu Po. 3. Miao people erect a column in Kuanping, tie the cows to the column, kill the cows and divide the meat in the sound of gongs and drums, and then drum and sing to celebrate the festival.

Ganqiu Festival, also known as Qiushe Festival and Jiaoqiu Festival, is a traditional festival of Miao people in Huayuan, Fenghuang, Jishou and Luxi in western Hunan. When autumn begins, the local people stop their farm work, put on their costumes and gather on the traditional autumn slopes for entertainment, such as swinging, blowing sheng, singing and dancing. At the end of the activity, we selected two prestigious people to dress up as "Old Qiu Ren", wishing you a bumper harvest and happiness.

Autumn Festival is inserted into the love legend of heroes and beautiful women, making it a mass entertainment festival with the significance of praying for the bumper harvest of Shennong and praising free love. There are as many as 70,000 to 80,000 autumn festivals in Malichang, Huayuan County every year. It can be seen that Miao people worship Shennong to take grain seeds.

Ganqiu Festival is not only a good opportunity for young Miao men and women to talk about love, but also an important place for Miao people to carry out cultural and recreational activities. Miao people, old and young, dressed in gold and silver, rushed to the foot of the flower pole from all directions, playing reeds, playing tricks, bullfighting, wrestling, playing thrush and climbing the flower pole.
