Zhaoxing Dong Village Yueye Grand Song Festival Begins

From November 21 to 23, 2025, Zhaoxing Dong Village will welcome the annual Yueye Grand Song Festival. This is a grand celebration of the Dong people's harvest. At that time, the Dong Grand Song, which has traveled through thousands of years, will be passionately sung under the drum towers. The Dong Grand Song originated during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, with a history of over 2,500 years. It made a stunning debut at the Autumn Arts Festival in Paris, France, in 1986, and in 2009 was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. For generations, the Dong people have used songs to tell stories, recount history, educate, socialize, express feelings, and nurture the heart. Song and dance have become important carriers for expressing their emotions. During the Yueye Grand Song Festival, visitors can listen to "music shining like clear spring water" under the towering drum towers, feel the joy of harvest, the vicissitudes of history, and the passion of life in the songs, witnessing a cultural feast that touches the soul. Come to Zhaoxing Dong Village and immerse yourself in the unique charm of Dong culture in the "hometown of poetry, ocean of songs," and join this millennia-old appointment!
