The Tujia family purchased a banquet divided into water seats (only one bowl of boiled meat, the rest are vegetarian dishes, and most of them are banquet tables held before or after the main season), senxi banquets (with seafood), crispy button seats (with a bowl of crispy meat made of rice noodles or fried noodles) and five products and four linings (4 plates, 5 bowls, all meat dishes).

Sure enough, the demon king's head fell off and turned into a ball of fire, rolling to **, and the evil fire spread to **. The bamboo buildings were burned and the crops were charred.

In order to extinguish the evil fire, the little girl grabbed the head of the demon king, and the other six girls took turns to pour water on it, and finally extinguished the evil fire in the sixth month of the Dai calendar. The villagers began to live and work in peace and contentment. Since then, there has been the custom of splashing water every year.
