The Releasing Water Festival on Tomb Sweeping Day(Apr. 5-Apr. 5, 2009): Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, although completed over 2,000 years ago, still functions not only as a flood prevention mechanism, but also as an immense source of irrigation as well as a means to facilitate shipping and wood drifting these days. It has been the lifeblood of the Chengdu Plain for thousands of years. On every Tomb-sweeping Day before the season of spring ploughing, the water in the dam recedes, and a great ceremony has been always held. And high officials would be dressed in costumes, chanting the eulogy to Li Bing and his son’s contribution (Li Bing and his son are the builder of the project.).
