四、任务型阅读
The annual Water Splashing Festival falls during the New Year celebrations of the Dai Calendar.
It is the most important festival celebrated by the Dai ethnic people of Xishuangbanna. It involves three days of celebrations that include sincere, yet light-hearted religious rituals that end in everyone’s getting wet all over.
The first two days’ activities are concentrated on the banks of the Lancang River. A grand celebration marks the beginning of the festival. An out-door market is set up, where locals go for new-year shopping and tourists go for local souvenirs. Local food and snacks are other highlights travelers may not want to miss. Artists create sand carvings on open space close to the market. A dragon boat race is held on the Lancang River in the afternoon to say goodbye to the old year. At night, the banks of the river are colorfully lit, and tourists can enjoy the floating river lanterns made by locals. This practice is thought to drive bad luck away and bring good luck.
The third day, the climax of the festival, is reserved for water splashing. On that day, the Dai put on their newest and best clothes, and then gather at the local Buddhist temple. Afterward, a symbolic water splashing ritual is held near a Buddhist statue. People first worshiped the Buddha, and then gathered at the courtyard outside the temple, ready to be splashed with water.
The Water Splashing ceremony, however, is more than just good-natured fun; it also contains a religious element: water is regarded by the Dai as a symbol, firstly, of religious purification, but also of goodwill among people. Therefore, splashing a person with water during the festival, whether a close neighbor or a stranger, is an expression of the desire for good luck to that person.
46．Where can tourists get local souvenirs
47．Why do the Dai hold a dragon boat race
48．How can the Dai drive bad luck away and bring good luck
49．The Water Splashing ceremony falls on the last day of the celebration, doesn’t it
50．What does water stand for according to the Dai
