Gourd Square

Gourd Square is located in the southern part of Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, on the north side of the ring road. It is a comprehensive square that integrates ethnic culture display, tourism, commerce, leisure and entertainment, and is an important place for large-scale festival activities and cultural displays. Lancang is the only Lahu Autonomous County in the country, gathering one-third of the world's Lahu population and half of China's Lahu population, and it is named after the Lancang River to the east. The Lahu people regard the gourd as the incarnation of their ancestors and use the gourd as a symbol of the totem. The Lahu people believe that they came out of the gourd and pursued the spiritual pursuit of the sun and the beautiful wish of auspicious happiness. The enduring 'Lusheng Love Song' is sung from here. So here has become the hometown of gourds, as if stepping into the world of Calabash Brothers. In Lancang, gourd signs and patterns can be seen everywhere, with its unique ethnic style and culture. Mupa Mipa is a long epic creation myth sung by the Lahu 'Pokokok', mainly circulated in Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. It is the most widely circulated long epic myth among the Lahu people and the most important work in Lahu folk literature.
