What is the wine custom of Buyi nationality? Buyi people mainly live in today's Guizhou. For thousands of years, the Buyi people have formed some interesting drinking customs, which fully embodies the hospitality and sincerity of the Buyi people. Let's share the wine customs of Buyi people.

Buyi people's wine custom 1 Buyi people pay great attention to etiquette in social communication, which is characterized by sincere treatment and spiritual civilization. On holidays, relatives and friends visit each other. The host should first entertain the guests with wine, and the guests should also respect the host and be polite. Wine songs are also used to express the mutual questions and blessings between the host and the guests at dinner.

The host expressed a warm welcome to the guests in the song; The guests also answered with songs and expressed their heartfelt thanks to the host for his warm hospitality. The content of the lyrics contains the spirit of unity, mutual assistance and friendly exchange, and also has a simple, simple and comfortable peasant ancient style.

The songs that are often sung include wine songs, drinking songs, drinking songs, drinking songs, asking for wine, congratulating songs, asking for chopsticks, respecting old songs, asking guests to sit down, praising songs, asking for family names and so on.

For example, when welcoming guests at a banquet, the host sings "Song of Wine Ceremony" first: "It is much simpler and slower for a distinguished guest to come to my house, such as a phoenix falling on a barren slope and a dragon swimming in shallow water." The guests thanked the host family for their warm hospitality and expressed their feelings with songs. They sang, "Drink and sing wine songs, and you can sing me and. I wish the elderly a long life.

Bless the younger generation and work hard in the field. Bless the girl's family, the weaver girl often loses her shuttle. Bless the host family and have a good harvest every year. After the banquet, the guests will sing and thank the host family for their hospitality with the fruits of their labor. When the guests left, the host sang a farewell song, apologized again for the poor hospitality, and wished the guests a safe journey and a happy mood. I hope to come again next time.

As Buyi people like drinking and singing, they have created drinking songs, engagement songs, farewell songs, wedding songs, family songs and old people songs. These wine songs are simple and generous, courteous and hospitable, and vividly reflect the social life of Buyi people with colorful artistic forms, reflecting their unique lifestyle, customs and habits, as well as their noble character and beautiful soul of diligence and thrift.

Making a toast with wine songs and clearly singing a toast to deepen friendship is a major feature of wine ceremony and customs in Guizhou minority areas. For example, "this glass of wine is crystal clear, and wine respects guests first."

There are rich and poor people in the world, and they don't talk about loyalty "(Miao); Raise your glass, my good friend, and drink this white rice wine. Just forget it． Make yourself at home. Cheer up and exchange more friendship "(Buyi);

"Your left hand and my right hand, each with a glass of wine, we will hold hands and drink this glass of wine. The future will be very long. Always remember this time, family ties are stronger than strong wine" (Dong nationality). When the guests at the aquarium banquet toasted, they sang: "The wine is not mellow, but the medicine is wonderful. The wine is not fragrant, so I dare not pour more. Let's drink to show my gratitude. Help yourself to friends and relatives. If you can't, you have to accept it, which doesn't pay my respect to you. "

The guests raised their glasses in response to the wine song: "The host's family is hospitable and the banquet is affectionate. You persuade wine with your hands and drink a glass of wine. Good luck. " Or give in and sing: "I am so shy with this sweet rice wine." I'm not afraid to blush when I'm drunk. How can I accept my feelings? "

After the host sang it again, the guest sang a wine song to thank him for drinking it: "This is the wine steamed from the host's grain, which makes people smell sweet and get drunk." After drinking, praise the host with wine songs: "This cup of wine is yellow, and the host has built a good house with gold pillars and silver beams." "Rice wine is full of jars, with nine rows and seven rooms."

"The glass is poured, the glass is green, the smile is in the brow, the hut is replaced by a brick house, and the sofa chairs are all new. The wine glass is yellow, the clothes are sewn under the electric light, the silver ornaments are worn on holidays, and the flowers usually worn are cold. " (

The Miao host was praised and raised his glass in return: "I forgot to drink it when I was polite." Please don't avoid drinking any more. When you are drunk, you have tea to gargle. Please forgive my bad food and wine. Drinking wine is of great significance. " Some girls from cultural ethnic villages also toasted with songs as hosts: "Uncle is old and knowledgeable, so I propose a toast to you; Wine respects the object of young people, and wine respects the life of old people. "

When the guests were drinking, they sang, "I wasted decades and never left the village. Thank you, girl. I wish you a happy marriage. " The host and the guest clinked glasses and dried up. At the wine ceremony, friends and relatives also sang wine songs to pay tribute to the guests. At this time, the guests sang a question before drinking: "The wine in the main house is bright, please allow me to ask, are they elders or the same age?"

Who are you pouring wine for? After the host's representative finished singing, the guests also sang a toast: "A glass of wine is really a human favor, and half a glass of wine is also a gift. Thank you, cousin and master. " Drink it all after singing.

It is an important part of drinking custom to host a banquet with exquisite wine vessels and thank the host for his hospitality. Wen Yang, an emissary of Bozhou, was proud of the "Phoenix Zun" and "Golden Lantern" presented by Song Dynasty. Beautiful wine sets are often used at banquets of wealthy families in ethnic villages. When the guests have finished drinking, they will sing: "Horsehead hip flask is bright, osmanthus rice is fragrant" or "hip flask swims like a butterfly along the glass". "Angle full of wine to worship guests, Angle is pour nine and a half. Please don't shirk. "

In this warm and grand feast, the guests who are honored by Yangjiao wine will not take the wine immediately, but answer with an inconspicuous wine song: "A yangjiao is one foot long and full of wine, and the girl's friendship is heavy. How dare I be an ant? " Another toast.

Wine ceremony combines wine, beautiful utensils, wine songs and hospitality in dedication, humility and praise. "The wine songs are drunk on the hillside, and the guest and the host are full of dimples." After the host and guest were drunk, the guest said that he would return. The host advised the guest to stay: "Wine 99, only nine pots were drunk, and there were ninety pots left. Please don't leave. "

When the guest left, the master took a song to bid farewell to the last glass of wine and saw him off: "This glass of wine is yellow and yellow, and it came and went in a hurry. Let's propose another toast to our distinguished guests. It will moisten our intestines with thirst on the way. " Or send a bottle of gift wine and sing, "Please accept this bottle of wine and put it after this autumn. When the grain harvest in Man Cang is good, it is a moment to celebrate. When you raise your glass again, don't drink on holidays. "

Buyi people's wine custom 2 Buyi people's drinking culture

Buyi nationality is a minority in the southwest of China, which is similar to the neighboring Guangxi Zhuang nationality in language, but its national customs, living habits, folk art, residential buildings and so on are unique and have their own unique national culture.

The Buyi population is mainly concentrated in Guizhou, where the Buyi people account for 94. 1 1% of the Buyi population. In addition, there are Buyi communities in Luoping, Yunnan, Ningnan, Sichuan and Huili. Buyi people are distributed in other provinces, mainly mixed.

Buyi adult men like to drink rice wine, while women like to eat glutinous rice sweet wine. Drink New Year's wine on holidays and "welcome wine" and "farewell wine" when you get married.

Therefore, after the autumn harvest every year, every household should brew several jars of rice wine and glutinous rice liqueur. Yellow rice wine is not only for daily drinking, but also for entertaining guests, especially when entertaining guests. If there is no rice wine on the table, no matter how rich the table is, the guests will not be interested and the host's face will feel dull.

Buyi people are famous for their generous hospitality. Therefore, they drink rice wine with three characteristics: first, they put the wine in the jar and put the gourd (called "Dang Ge" in the local dialect) in the jar to learn; Drink without a glass, use a bowl, and be generous. The second is guessing boxing, which is not only fun, but more importantly, it tests each other's wisdom and alertness with the participants to see who can read each other's hearts.

Of course, this is also a means of toasting each other. The third is to sing wine songs, which is the most important and interesting of the three characteristics. The content of wine songs is all-encompassing, including creation, moon, sun and stars, national origin, history, mountains and rivers, vegetation, and even praise for the village and its owners.

You sing a song, I answer a song, and you can't answer the "fine" wine. This not only spread the appropriate songs, but also spread the knowledge, which is really unique and interesting.

The way to sing wine songs is to first pick up a bowl of wine from the host and worship the guests while singing. The content of the opening song is mostly pleasantries. For example, the host obviously filled the table with wine and meat, but the host sang humbly: "Last night, the snuff exploded. This morning, the magpie called and said that she would treat us. The guests really came." ...

Want to kill a pig, the piglet is thin-shelled, catching ducks in the wild, and the ducks are pecked by eagles; If you want to catch chickens in the shed, the chickens are dragged by wild cats, the fish are caught in the pond, and the fish are caught by otters ... Peacocks fall into the thorn forest, and Kirin falls into the barren slope. It is really much easier for guests to come to my house. "

After singing, give each guest a drink. The guests also raised bowls filled with rice wine one by one and sang songs of thanks. The content is to thank the host family for their hospitality, congratulate the neighbors on their safety, harvest crops, and herds of cattle and horses, such as "drinking and singing wine songs, you sing me;" I wish the host family a happy life ... I wish the village neighbors peace and happiness; I wish cows and horses strong and sheep full of slopes. ...

The host is really careful, let me sit in the seat, but also respect my pork loin and liver, respect my chicken skull ... thank you, thank you. The master has a lot of trouble. Let's go back and say our good names. "One person sings a song, and after singing, everyone has a drink. Anyone who can't sing will be punished for drinking three cups.

In the life of Buyi people, there is also an interesting "welcome wine". When the guests arrive, the host will put a table at the gate, with a hip flask and a bowl on it. When the guests arrive, the host will quickly pour the wine into the bowl, hold it in his hand and sing a "welcome song": "The wind flies down the thorn forest and the carp swims to the shallows. My family is too slow to entertain guests today. I just hope there are more guests.

If the guest can sing, answer with a song. "Thrushcross flies to buttonwood, shrimp swims into the sea, and today I come to Fugui House. The host is hospitable, but because of my bad appetite, I dare not drink this bowl of fairy wine. " After several rounds of this answer, the two sides tied, and finally the guest took a sip of wine and entered the hall.

If the guest can't sing, every time the host sings a song, the guest will have a sip of wine and keep singing seven or nine songs. Guests have to take seven or nine sips of wine to stop. Therefore, not singing wine songs will not only be "punished" for drinking, but also make all onlookers laugh.

After entering the room, in the banquet room, the host will invite a girl or middle-aged woman who is good at singing to propose a toast to the guests. Some people came to the guests with flagons and bowls, poured a bowl of wine first, and then sang a toast: "The guests came from afar, it was really hard, and there was no chicken, duck and fish to entertain them, so they drank a bowl of fresh water as fish."

If the guests can sing, they will reply with songs: "At the four corners of the Eight Immortals Table, chickens, ducks and fish are placed, and all kinds of delicious food are available. Thank you for your kindness. " In this way, there are host songs and guest songs. From ancient times to the present, the content is all-encompassing, with questions and answers.

Of course, if you sing for a long time, you may not be right when you answer, as long as you can answer one correctly, so drinking is not punished. If they can't sing toast song, the girls will be fined to take a sip of wine every time they sing a song. It was really interesting, which added a joyful atmosphere to the whole party.

Buyi people not only love drinking, but also are good at making wine. Rice is grown by oneself, and distiller's yeast is made from grass roots collected from the mountains by oneself. Therefore, the raw materials are convenient and the brewing is easy. The brewed rice wine 18 degrees is mellow and sweet, and it is all sealed in a big jar. Every time I open the lid of the urn to get wine, the fragrance wafts all over the house.

Usually, as long as the guests come home, the host will hand over a cup of "tea" and politely say, "If you are tired of walking, please drink a glass of cold water to quench your thirst." If the guests who have been to Buyi areas have experienced it, they should get up and take the "tea" with their hands, and taste it slowly and carefully.

If an inexperienced guest drinks it in one gulp because of dry mouth, it will make a joke, so he has to complain secretly. So this is not tea. It's rice wine, but it must be noted that as long as the wine is mistaken for tea, it should be swallowed anyway. You can't vomit. This is respect for the host, otherwise it is impolite.

If you want to be fooled, who told you not to know the customs of Buyi people in advance? This is not a bad heart, on the contrary, it is the Buyi people's sincere respect for their guests. The more wine a guest drinks, the happier the host is.

Buyi people also brew delicious glutinous rice sweet wine with their own glutinous rice and homemade distiller's yeast (locally called "local wine medicine"). This liqueur is basically for women to eat and entertain.

Passing through Buyi area in March or early summer, I was tired and thirsty. Whenever you see someone working in the fields by the roadside, you will find water for them to drink. You can definitely drink the sweet glutinous rice wine mixed with sweet mountain springs commonly used by Buyi people, as well as the cool My Sweetie, which can not only quench your thirst, but also dispel the fatigue along the way.

Rosa roxburghii wine brewed by Buyi people in Huaxi District of Guiyang enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. The brewing method of Rosa roxburghii wine is: after the glutinous rice is harvested every autumn, the Rosa roxburghii fruit is collected and dried in the sun or on the kang. Then make wine with glutinous rice, put the wine in a big jar, and then put the dried Rosa roxburghii in the jar to soak together. After a month (the longer the soaking time, the better), the wine is sauce yellow, fragrant and delicious, and it is not easy to intoxicate at about 12 degrees.
