苗族龙船节
龙船节，是黔东南清水江上苗族人民最盛大的节日。龙，在苗族人心目中是吉祥如意的象征。苗家姑娘最爱将龙形图案打制成银饰装点在头上，或刺绣、编织在衣裙中。苗族人民制作的龙船，十分精巧、美观，龙身由一只母船和两只子船扎而成。两米多长的龙头，用水柳木雕刻，装有一对一米多长的龙角。龙头以主色不同，分为赤龙、青龙、黄龙。
无The Dragon Boat Festival of the Miao
The Dragon Boat Festival is the most important celebration of the Miao people who live along the Qingshui River in southeastern Guizhou Province. In the eyes of the Miaos, the dragon symbolizes good luck. Girls like to adorn their hair with silver ornaments shaped like dragons and wear clothes embroidered or woven with dragon patterns. The Miaos build exquisite “dragon boats” , which are in reality a body formed from three boats—one large and two small—that are strung together. The head, over two meters long and carved out of the trunk of a weeping willow, sports a pair of horns more than a meter in length. The boat may be called a red, blue or yellow dragon depending on the dominant color of its head.
