Doma and Daoshen Festival

This festival is named Doma and Daoshen in the Dong language, NiRenJie in Mandarian. Duoma means playing with mud, and Daoshen means cattle fighting.

Before this festival, the pind is stocked with fish. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the young, naked men enter the pond, causing the water to be muddied. The yound men then start to catch fish with their hands, each time holding a fish high up in the air for onlookers to shout praises to them.

As the young men catch more and more fish, and the pond becomes muddier, the young men will daub mud on the bodies of everyone in the pond becomes muddier, the young men will daub mud on the bodies of everyone in the pond, until all of the young men are covered with mud.

Upon exiting the pond, each team will separately lead their bulls into the pond for a bull fighting competition. After each round, a final winner will be made, and the title 'Bull King' is given to the master of the bull, a special privilege and honor.
