Deep in Yunnan Province, the Deang ethnic group celebrates Spring Festival with a whirlwind of culture and joy! 🌳✨ Under ancient banyan trees, families gather to spin massive millstone-shaped tops—a tradition spanning millennia and now recognized as intangible cultural heritage. For the Deang people, these spinning tops symbolize renewal, unity, and the heartbeat of their New Year.
Yao Shanglong, a 26-year-old from Baiyan Village, shares how his hometown has transformed. \"We once lived in bamboo huts,\" he says. \"Now, thanks to supportive policies, every household enjoys modern homes, and our sugarcane fields are thriving!\" 🏡🌾
But it’s not just about progress—Ashuse culture, a 2,000-year-old mix of song, dance, and music, takes center stage. Performed spontaneously during festivals, it’s like a living diary of life’s highs and lows. 🎶💃
From spinning tops to soulful performances, the Deang’s Spring Festival is a living bridge between past and present. Want to see the magic? Swipe up for cultural vibes! 👀📲
