China tour-- Gansu Hua'er Folk Song Competition

 China tour news: Since ancient times, Gansu has been a prov­ince inhabited by various ethnic groups. Among the 45 ethnic minorities are the Dongxiang, Yugu, and Bao'an, the three ethnic groups native to Gansu Province. The Han, Hui, and Tibetans are the largest ethnic groups in present-day Gansu. Each nationality in Gansu has different customs regarding wedding, funeral, holiday, diet, at­tire, residence, etiquette, and cultural events. As these social events are held in different times at different locations, they form a scenario of successive festive activities on a grand scale.

As an event popular among various nationalities in Gansu, the Hua'er folk song competition in Lianhua Mountain of Linxia is well-known throughout China. Located in an area bordering Kangle County of Linxia and Lintan and Zhuoni Counties of Gannan, Lianhua Mountain is the cradle of the northwestern folk song style called Hua 'er. From 1 st to 6th of Lunar June every year, Hua'er folk singers from nearby places assemble in Lianhua Mountain and par­ticipate in the singing competition. The folk singers improvise their songs and compete without any constraint, presenting songs of great interest. Most of the Hua'er are short love songs.

It has a unique shape and a bright and clear quality. It's so smooth that it feels like water drops. It's so colorful that it looks like jade crystal. The luminescent cup is mainly used to hold liquor. It won't crack when you pour either cold liquor or heated liquor into it. The most amazing feature is that the cup gives off a dazzling glow when you put wine into it in the moonlight.
