About Dong New Year

Dong New Year is an important traditional festival of the Dong people, primarily celebrated in Dong-inhabited regions of Guizhou, Hunan, and Guangxi. The festival embodies multiple functions and meanings, including celebrating the harvest, honoring ancestors, strengthening family reunions, promoting inter-village exchanges, and preserving cultural traditions. In 2011, Dong New Year, as nominated by Rongjiang County, was approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China for inclusion in the third batch of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
