Nv'er Hui ---- Valentine's Day of Tujia .

What is Nv'er Hui ?
Nv'er Hui is Tujia Valentine's day, during 7 to 12 July in lunar calendar. The festival stems from Tujia in EnShi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture
[EnShi], which is my hometown.


The old Nv'er Hui ---- street market .

The girls stayed at home nearly all the time. They can only go out freely during the festival. The single would dress themselves up, especially girls.
Girls pretended to sale products on the street market and men would come to buy.



  • When a men try to bargain with the girl, it shows he has a crush on the girl,
  • When the girl does not sale the product ,it shows she feels nothing about the man. [To raise the price quite high is a common way. ]
  • When they make a deal, It means they both want know more about each other and they will leave the market to a less crowded place to chat.


A more wonderful festival

The host will register participants' data and post on board.People can contact the people who reach their requirements.
The government  will throw a big 'party'----
  • advertising, 
  • decorating ,
  • putting on shows 
  • and organizing activities. 

Shows of Tujia Minority

The data of single post on board.

Some local will sell handcrafts during the festival to earn money.


Travel.

I think ,this festival is very worthy visiting or participating. You may find your true love, while you can know more the culture of the Tujia.
Nowadays,Enshi is the only place to celebrate this festival. Apart from the festival, there are plenty of attractions in Enshi.


Here is the travel guide to Enshi.
