The Zhuang's Ox Soul Festival
The Zhuang peoples traditional of showing respect and love
for ox is displayed to its fullest during the Ox Soul Festival, which falls on
the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, believed to be the birthday of the Ox
King. On the day, all farm work stops. Moreover,
they bathe the animal and clean the cowsheds amidst the sounds of rhythmic
drums. It is, of course, forbidden to beat any ox that day, to avoid scaring
away the soul of the ox and thus creating unfavorable working conditions. Every
farmers family conducts a ceremony to show respect to the animal at noon.
