In Guizhou, the significance of the term "aunt" holds exceptional value. Each year around the Spring Festival, the return of married women to their natal families becomes a celebration even more festive than the New Year itself. Early this morning, the village of Zhulin in Wudang District, Guiyang City, was buzzing with excitement as hundreds of aunts and their husbands returned to the village in a grand procession for the occasion. Long horns sounded, and waist drums beat rhythmically as the Bouyei people welcomed the aunts home with the highest honors. In the village square, the aunts joined hands to form concentric circles, singing and dancing with joy. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the aunt basketball game—a unique sport blending elements of rugby and basketball. Aprons served as jerseys, and instead of dribbling, players could carry the ball directly toward the opponent's hoop, emphasizing fun and freedom. The aunts of Zhulin Village expressed that everyone is busy nowadays, and only through such village-organized events can they reunite and strengthen their bonds. As Women's Day approaches, they extended happy "Goddess Day" wishes to all. The tradition of married women returning to their natal families, known as "guining" in ancient times, reflects the Chinese cultural value of women maintaining roots and family ties after marriage. In Guizhou, this custom has transcended individual family visits, merging deeply with vibrant ethnic festivals to become large-scale collective celebrations that highlight the power of women and foster community spirit. Yu Shenghui, Party Branch Secretary and Village Committee Director of Zhulin Village, Shuitian Town, Wudang District, noted that the Aunt Festival was initiated to promote neighborhood harmony and pass down family virtues. It encourages aunts to share valuable experiences and ideas, contributing suggestions for the village's development and elevating Zhulin Village to new heights. Today, leveraging the Aunt Festival as a distinctive cultural brand, Zhulin Village is boosting industries such as homestay tourism and specialty agricultural product sales, injecting continuous vitality into rural revitalization.
