The Qiang New Year Festival stands as the grandest and most important traditional celebration for the Qiang ethnic group. Typically observed on the first day of the tenth month of the traditional Chinese calendar, it marks a significant period of reflection and community spirit.
At the heart of Qiang New Year are themes of celebrating the harvest, sending blessings, and praying for peace. The ceremonial rituals, though simple and primitive, create a uniquely rich cultural atmosphere that highlights the distinctive characteristics of Qiang culture.
