The傣族的泼 Dai Water-Sprinkling Festival, also known as the Dai New Year Festival, is one of the most important traditional festivals of the Dai ethnic group in China. It is usually held from April 13 to 15, coinciding with the traditional New Year of the Dai calendar.

During the festival, people dress up in their traditional costumes, make offerings to Buddha, and sprinkle water on each other to wash away the bad luck of the previous year and to bring good luck for the coming year. The water is usually scented with flowers and herbs, and sometimes even colored with natural dyes.

In addition to water-sprinkling, there are also various cultural activities, such as dragon boat racing, elephant shows, and folk dancing. The festival is a great opportunity for people to gather with their families and friends, and to enjoy the festive atmosphere.

The Dai Water-Sprinkling Festival has a long history and rich cultural significance. It reflects the Dai people's respect for nature, their desire for peace and harmony, and their unique customs and traditions. It is not only a local festival, but also a symbol of the diversity and richness of Chinese culture.
