怒江大峡谷的新春来得格外的早。两岸的傈僳族正举行盛大的“阔什节”(意即新年)。人们在家祭祀祖先,相互祝贺,或在村中举行射弩、跳舞、对歌等娱乐活动,第二天便带上行李及食物,到峡谷边的温泉“春浴”(又名“澡堂会”)。人们反复洗浴,以消除疾病、增强免疫力,有充沛的精力投入新一年的劳动生产,同时,澡堂会也是青年男女们通过赛诗对歌结识朋友的好时机。 Nu River Grand Canyon is particularly early New Year. The Lisu people on both sides of the strait are holding a grand “Kashgar Festival” (meaning New Year). At home, people worship ancestors and congratulate each other or hold crossbow, dance, song and other recreational activities in the village. Next day they bring their luggage and food to the hot spring “Spring Bath” (aka “Bathhouse” ). People repeatedly bath to eliminate disease, enhance immunity, have plenty of energy into the new year of labor production, at the same time, the bathhouse will also be a good time for young men and women through song to meet friends.
