In Hani ethnic language “Gatangpa” means the renewal of everything on the earth, and the beginning of a new year. Gatangpa Festival is a traditional festival in Hani minority. It is told that in ancient times Gatangpa Festival could last for 15 days, taking ancestor worship and entertaining as the main content. The festival duration was changed to four days by the 14th Hani ancestor Zyuq Tanq Panq. As prescribed, the Festival starts from the first ox day and ends at the dragon day in each October.
