What is the biggest traditional festival of Yao nationality on May 29th of the lunar calendar every year?
May 29th of the lunar calendar is the biggest traditional festival of Yao nationality, namely Danu Festival, also known as Birthday Festival, Zunniang Festival, Yaonian Festival and Erjiu Festival. It is the most solemn traditional festival of Yao nationality in Mashan, Longan, Pingguo, Bama and Du 'an in Guangxi, also known as Erjiu Festival, Zunniang Festival, Bamboo Festival and Yao Festival. Legend has it that the 29th day of the fifth lunar month is the birthday of Milotuo, the mother of Yao nationality. Later generations made it their birthday out of worship, that is, Danu Day.

Extended data:

On Danu Day, every household kills pigs and sheep and entertains guests. At the same time, cultural activities such as bronze drum dance, fighting thrush, bow and arrow race and horse racing are also held. After historical changes, Danu Festival has gradually changed from a folk religious festival to a harvest festival and a peaceful festival.

In order to better inherit the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, Ke Ziquan participated in the UNESCO Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage, and after years of protection and promotion, Zhu Jie and Milotuo, the goddess of Bama Spring, were listed as national intangible cultural heritage.
