Festivals of Chinese Ethnic Groups·Qiang: The Waerezu Festival
by Yan Xiangjun, Chen Xunru
Description
This book mainly introduces the origin of Qiang ethnic group's Waerezu Festival. Long long ago, a young girl came to Mao County, Sichuan Province, where the Qiang people lived. She was Sister Shalang and loved to sing. In order to seize Sister Shalang, the local chieftain burned up the azaleas where village women danced and sang. While azaleas were burned, Sister Shalang was dying. The people in the village then got to know that Sister Shalang was the goddess of azaleas! To commemorate her, the Qiang people started to gather dew, sing and dance, and worship the mountain gods every year on May fifth of the lunar calendar when azaleas bloom. Over time, this event has evolved into a festival for Qiang women -- that was how the Waerezu Festival has initiated.
