History
Jin Feng Celebration has a background marked by over 1,000 years. As per a legend and expressions of the elderly folks, Yao individuals once chafed the lord of wind. Accordingly the lord of wind rebuffed them by sending tempests to obliterate Yao towns, and made them destitute. Luckily the divine force of the Yao let them know a method for deflecting the debacle: by keeping quiet when the lord of wind came. It worked.
So Yao individuals have praised a celebration from that point forward. In any case, today nearby individuals don’t need to keep quiet any longer. The celebration has turned into an enthusiastic season of festivity.
