In some places, the whole village’s teenagers have to participate in a very meaningful bamboo cutting activity one week before the new year, and pray God to bless the villagers for peace and good weather in the coming year.

The teenagers held a meeting to select ten of their strongest friends to go up the mountain to cut Moso Bamboo – “Fanzhu”.  After cutting down the bamboo, people will argue about the direction of the bamboo tail. They believe that people in the direction of bamboo tail will be very lucky next year, so the debate was very fierce. On the eve of the Chinese new year, people will use the chopped bamboo to light a bonfire and dance with music.
