The Torch Festival, one of the most significant traditions of Yi ethnic group, originated as a ritual to pray for a good harvest. Across the mountains and plateaus of southwest China, the Yi people have preserved this festival as a central part of their cultural identity. Every summer, people gather in traditional attire, lighting torches and dancing in the glow of fire, carrying this ancient festival into the present.
