On the twelfth day of the Lunar New Year, the town of Tongfang in Changting county, Fujian province, hosts a vibrant cultural celebration known as the
naochuntian. This event, often referred to as the Hakka Village Carnival, sees villagers carrying a massive statue of Guan Gong, engaging in spirited runs and wrestling matches in the muddy fields. The purpose is to seek blessings for favorable weather, bountiful harvests, and overall prosperity. Photography by Zhang Wei
