Lahu new year (Kin Wor)
"Kor Jao Way" or Kin Wor, the Lahu tribe's New Year festival, is performed after harvest season. They do not specify the exact date, so Lahu's New Year festival would be in February, March or April. Besides, it is not a must that all Lahu villages have to conduct the ceremony at the same time. Before being cooked, black pigs are killed and sacrificed to God, 'Uu Sa', together with glutinous rice mixed with sesame, which is called 'Or Phu' or Kao Pu.

'Kor Jao Way' takes 12 days and is separated to 2 periods, which are 'Koh Luang' or Big Year, women celebrating, and 'Koh Noi' or Small Year, men celebrating. Both of them take 6 days each. Between the first and the second periods, there is a break for 1-2 days. After the break, they dance 'Ka Ker Way' every night until dawn and during the day time, men play top and women play Sa Ba, we use the seeds of a tree, and a ball made from paddy husk.

In the past the reason why men and woman celebrated seperatly was that Lahu men often had to leave home for many days at a time attending war, trading and hunting, so could not be back home to join 'Kor Jao Way' in time. Nowadays, they still have both 'Koh Luang' and 'Koh Noi', but women and men can celebrate together because they now work closely together.

During New Year festival, they light up the candles in order to pray for peace and wealth to all villagers. If another village celebrates at the same time, Lahu people will go to visit their neighbour taking pork and 'Or Phu' to make merit and join the ceremony by dancing together in the yard, this is called 'Or Ree The Da Way'. A few days later, the village that has been visited will visit their guests in return.

Toward the end of the festival Lahu people will make offerings to the 'Wor Tree' a decorated bamboo structure and 'Uu Sa' to pray for health and richness.
