198927 min

Chinese anthropological film shot between 1986 and 1989, in the township of Gukou, by Professor Zhuang Kongshao. The film is intended as a representation of the traditional customs observed on one of China's most important folk holidays -- and also doubles as an act of preservation, capturing the last celebrations of a village that would be completely relocated following the construction of a hydroelectric dam in 1990.
