The festival in Guizhou always begins with special family meals. Sharing traditional Guizhou foods such as rice that has been colored with the dyes of different leaves, berries and flowers, then cooked in bamboo tubes, and homemade rice wine, is similarly practised among the many Guizhou Miao tribes. Some of the dyed rice is molded into balls that hold hidden treasures. These rice balls are presented to the young Guizhou men who come to visit, and each treasure has a different meaning. Pine needles mean "You should give me embroidery needles." and corn silk is a suggestion of fine yarn. A thorn tells the lucky Guizhou fellow "You are the one!" Guizhou Chopsticks or red flower pistils say, "Let's marry quickly -- the sooner the better." And a single chopstick, some garlic or chili means, "Find someone Guizhou else!"Also in anticipation of the Guizhou Taijiang Sisters' Rice Festival, the grandmothers, mothers and other female relatives polish and shine the collection of silver neck rings, bracelets, anklets, earrings, hair pins and combs, rings and pendants, phoenix crowns and headpieces that the young Guizhou courting-age girls will wear. The Guizhou Miao believe that silver, representing light, dispels evil spirits. Silver is also a symbol of wealth and beauty, and some young Guizhou women wear several kilograms of it at one time.Dazzling embroidered skirts, blouses, aprons and jackets are decorated with many different tooled Guizhou silver ornaments. Pretty necks are encircled with bands of silver and linking silver chains that support large shining lockets, glittering beads and hanging tassels. Elaborate silver headpieces crown the heads of the Guizhou girls as they proudly display their self-made costumes. The Qingshui riverside becomes lively and exciting as the music and dancing begins. As they walk and dance, the lovely Guizhou Miao girls jingle and shimmer in the sun. Their cheeks burn with excitement while they flirt with handsome young men, each of whom is searching for a beauty worthy of his strength and handsomeness.Meanwhile, you will find many elders at the cockfighting competitions, trading at the daylong markets, or leisurely rowing long dugout canoes on the river beside the festival ground. This is a time of camaraderie and "catching up." When darkness falls, the festival beat increases as the Dragon dances begin. Candles are lit inside the 25-meter-long hollow paper dragons. Battles begin as the fiery dragons weave in and out of the hooting crowds chasing each other. Drums and fireworks complete the noisy atmosphere. Long into the night, the partying continues...
