Was Jiuzhaigou in Gansu before?

Jiuzhaigou has always belonged to Sichuan, but the ancestors of the Tibetans in Jiuzhaigou are the Oluo tribe in Maqu, Gansu.

The Jialing River and the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, including Jiuzhaigou, and the land known as Bianqiang, have recorded human activities in Jiuzhaigou, Yinshan Mountain, which has long settled in Tibet. The ancestors of Tibetans in Jiuzhaigou are the Eluo tribe living in Maqu, Gansu Province, which originally belonged to Qiang Mi Medicine Branch in Dangxiang, and was later surrendered by Tubo.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo marched eastward, and Songzan Gambu took it as a pioneer and occupied Songzhou (Songpan) and stayed there ever since. Among them, the Oro Department living by the White River is allied with the Baima Department, and its descendants are Tibetans from nine stockades in Jiuzhaigou.

The Folk Culture of Jiuzhaigou

1, please be a mountain god.

Inviting mountain gods is a highlight of Jiuzhaigou folk culture. This activity can be held during the day or at night. The main musical instrument of the mountain god is a sturdy cross-shaped Mu Cha. The villagers in the whole village will form a circle after the activity of inviting mountain gods, laughing and laughing all night. In this traditional folk culture, circles represent reunion.

2. Holy water for welcoming the new year

Jiuzhaigou Tibetans have the traditional custom of Haizi carrying water on Tibetan New Year's Eve. At the first cock crow in each stockade, people in the stockade will rush to the water source. After burning incense and splashing water, they will carry back the earliest holy water for the whole family to drink.

3. Mulberry smoke

Braised mulberry is the most common religious prayer custom of Tibetan people, which has been followed for more than 3000 years. Mulberry smoke, also known as incense, is often used to make a wish, meaning to let the gods testify. Folk mulberry cigarettes are more about praying for themselves, their families and their friends. ?
