🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Rock God Wedding Robbery Festival: It is held on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year in Heyilong Village, Anlongbao Township, Shuangbai County. At this time, the villagers here dress in festive costumes, gather on Shiyanzi Mountain outside the village, kill chickens and sheep, drink and sing, and revel in the unique local way to commemorate the Yi girl who was robbed by the Rock God in the legend. With the changes of the times, the word "marriage robbery" seems to have become history in people's minds, but the Rock God Wedding Robbery Festival in Heyilong Village has become more and more lively. In addition to the ethnic minorities from the surrounding nine villages and eighteen villages who come to participate, the people and merchants from nearby Yimen, Eshan and other counties also come to participate in the carnival. As soon as the sky gets light, they come to Shiyanzi Mountain to choose stalls. There are stalls, snacks, and daily necessities. Then, the girls and boys of Heyilong Village all wear gorgeous costumes and happily come to Shiyanzi Mountain to talk about love. In the melodious sound of the three-stringed lute, young men and women danced and sang to their heart's content. When they were thirsty, they drank mountain spring water, and when they were hungry, they ate barbecued skewers. When it got dark, men, women, old and young gathered around the big fire and continued to sing and dance, drink and play guessing games. In the empty mountains and fields, everything seemed so passionate and unrestrained, so harmonious and natural.
