Introduction to Fiji's festivals and customs

Fiji has many flowers, and all men and women wear flowers. It is said that wearing flowers on the left side means unmarried, while wearing flowers on both sides means marriage. Surprisingly, men not only wear flowers, but also dresses. The skirt is called "SOLO" here. Strange alternative behaviors such as wearing flowers and skirts allow tourists to fully feel the customs of this island country. In addition, the high-pitched singing on the island reflects the laid-back atmosphere of the island country. Many traditional customs are still preserved on the island, such as the magical singing ceremony of calling fish from the deep sea to the shallow sea for easy capture, and the traditional fire discharge ceremony. They are all mysterious traditions that have not yet disappeared in Fiji.

Torch Dance is one of the most famous dances in Fiji. Fire symbolizes light and hope in the hearts of Fijians. Whenever a festive day is celebrated, they come to the wilderness and dance their celebration dance.

"Fire Out" is one of the most popular performance events at the Fiji Cultural Center. On the grass near the sea, a bonfire is burning fiercely. Fijian warriors add large pieces of wood to the fire, and the fire burns even more vigorously thanks to the wind. On the burning charcoal, there was a layer of pebbles as big as a goose egg. The flames underneath went straight up from the gaps between the stones. After a while, the stones were roasted until they turned slightly white. At this time, a team of samurai lined up and took turns, dancing barefoot on the hot stones. For a moment, they chanted words as if praying and blessing, and for a moment they danced and shouted "Ula" to show their courage and strength. They walked in the fire like walking on flat ground without any damage.
