The Torch Festival (火把节) is a traditional and lively festival celebrated by the Yi people in China. It usually takes place from the 24th to the 26th day of the 6th lunar month. At this time, the moon is bright, and the air is filled with excitement. There are many interesting stories about how this festival started.
Fire has held great importance for the Yi people ever since they discovered its power to keep them warm and cook delicious food. One old saying among them goes, “Everything you eat must ‘see’ fire.” In ancient times, before bringing meat back home, people would first light a small fire. They carefully baked (烤) the meat on the fire, believing that this could drive away bad things and bad luck. This tradition shows their deep respect for fire.
In the past, the Torch Festival was mainly a way for the Yi people to avoid (避免) bad luck. But today, it has developed into a great social activity. During the festival, the Yi people joyfully gather together. They light torches, and the bright fire light up the night sky, creating a warm and lively feeling. They take part in all kinds of fun activities. In the horse racing event, strong horses run fast across the field, and the riders show their excellent skills. The beauty competitions are also very exciting. Many young girls dress up in their most beautiful traditional clothes, showing their charm (魅力). Through these activities, the Yi people share their happiness with each other and express their thanks for the good life. What’s more, the Torch Festival helps more people understand the rich cultures and special traditions of the Yi people, making their culture shine brightly.
