On May 26, villagers of Dagu Village, Linwu County, Chenzhou City, held folk activities to celebrate Ox King’s birthday. On that day, the plowing cattle in the village were allowed to have a day off and fed well-cooked “umi rice” wrapped in green grass and leaves, through which villagers expressed their respect and gratitude for the cattle and prayed for their great contributions to local agriculture.

 

The folk celebrating ceremony of Ox King’s birthday is an intangible cultural heritage project under the protection of Chenzhou City. It was one of the important activities carried out by the Linwu County Cultural Museum during its Service Promotion Week.
