The gate-opening observance marks the end of the period begun at the Dai gate-closing observance.
Documented context#
The Pu’er local-history account identifies Dai-calendar twelfth-month day 15 as the end of that period. A Chinese-calendar or Gregorian date must be checked separately for the year concerned.
Planning a visit#
Ask which community and venue a programme refers to. The traditional name does not guarantee a public performance, wedding or visitor activity. Confirm the actual schedule with the organizer and follow the venue’s access arrangements.
Scope of this introduction#
This is a brief cultural introduction. Practical questions above are editorial planning suggestions, not a current event programme or a claim of uniform participation.
