Living customs of Bai people

1, Yi girls change skirts, which is called "Sarah" in Yi language, commonly known as "changing children's skirts", which means taking off childhood skirts and putting on adult skirts. The time to change skirts depends on the development of young girls, usually from 15 to 17 years old. Change skirts at the age of one. It is said that changing skirts at the age of two will be disastrous and unlucky for life. When the dressing ceremony is held, men are not allowed to be present, and only women such as female relatives are invited to participate. At the beginning of the ceremony, the women said some romantic words and wishes to tease the girls, then invited a beautiful, capable and lover to comb their hair, exchanged Harper for a skirt, tied the single braid at the back of the head to the front, separated it in the middle, combed it into a pair of braids behind their ears, and then put on Harper. Finally, put on a long pleated skirt with strong contrast such as red, blue and black. She walks lightly and is full of youthful vitality. This is the best time, and all the women present are immersed in beautiful memories and happy yearning. The significance of changing skirts. It means that the woman is an adult. From then on, she can fall in love. 2. Yi people like to drink wine instead. "Where is the fire wood, where is the base?" It's the Bilgi (proverb) of the Yi people. Translated into Chinese: "China people value tea, Yi people value wine." It can be seen how much the Yi people like drinking. When Yi people drink alcohol, they often have a feast when they have wine, and they also have the habit of drinking without food. When drinking, regardless of the occasion and place, strangers and acquaintances sit on the floor and form a circle, holding glasses and taking turns drinking, so the Yi family is also called "transferring wine". 3. It is a custom for young Yi men and women to go to the mountains to fall in love and marry freely without being arranged by feudal ethics and parents since ancient times. Also called singing folk songs. It can be roughly divided into three steps: first, when young men see beautiful or favorite girls in other villages in market towns or wedding places, they actively invite girls to burn fireplaces (sing folk songs) in the mountains. Some of them were invited to meet bluntly, and most of them were folk songs: Male singer: Seeing that A-mei was born well, he wanted to be sisters with A-mei. If A-mei had no resentment, he said he would decide the next day. Female singer: When my sister likes it, she says rappers love to play. Please tell me when. Male singer: Lang has an appointment and my sister has a table. Where did you make the reservation? My sister is very happy. In this way, both men and women set a good day and place, and each returned to the village to invite other partners. Once again, on the night of the date set by Nan Lang, both men and women and invited partners came to the place set by him. Some young people went to find firewood to light a fire pit, and some folded trees were lying by the fire pit. At this time, the singer sang: the hot air burns on the tuyere, and the cold air waves and heats the pond. Lang Cai left his sister and asked her to sit down. Her family really wants to sit down, but if she doesn't want to, she won't be forced. Both men and women sit around the fireplace, and the little girl holds a cigarette case and lets the young man chew cigarettes (Yi people have always chewed cigarettes, but in recent years young men and women rarely chew or stop chewing cigarettes, but the elderly are still happy to see this custom). Sing: Take a cigarette case and invite me to dinner. Please have a try if you want. The young man took the cigarette case in the girl's hand and sang: Take the cigarette at home with both hands, chew it carefully and spit it out slowly. Yellow smoke tastes like yellow smoke, and yellow smoke tastes like osmanthus fragrance. Next, men and women sing some love songs. After many such activities, the relationship between men and women has developed to the realm of love. Finally, the young man proposed to the girl and sang, "The Lang family lacks nothing but people who can cook." . The little girl didn't like the young man, so she sang: Sugarcane is delicious and can't be swallowed, and my sister can't be a lover. If a little girl likes a young man, she will sing: My sister's family lacks everything except plowing and raking grass. This shows that the little girl has fallen in love with the young man, and the young man can invite the matchmaker to his house for an engagement. 4. Hanging red is a custom for young Yi people to congratulate the groom on their wedding day by their uncles, aunts, aunts, michel platini and godmothers. On the other hand, it means that the groom keeps in permanent contact with his relatives. The person in red is holding a tray with a five-foot red cloth or vermicelli and a set of firecrackers on it. Mr. Zhang Li announced that ××× will be hanged for ××. The groom gave a big gift to the person who hung the red flower for himself. After the firecrackers were set off, people hung red cloth (silk) on the groom's shoulders and read: Little flowers are five feet long, and hand-held flowers are hung on the groom. One hangs the groom to worship heaven and earth, and the other hangs the groom to worship his parents. On the left is the dragon playing in the water, and on the right is the wind rising and the sun rising. Then in the nave, the person who hung up congratulated him: the small bonus was five feet long and the portable bonus stood in the nave. Don't mention bonuses, especially those with roots. Suzhou grows cotton and covers rubber loess. Three cows and four rakes. Four people are good at this job. Sow cotton in February of the first month and plant flowers in March and April. Pick cotton in May and June, squeeze cotton, and hire a skipping tire. Sorghum root, boiled into strips, 16 is a catty, and the young lady of the spinning flower has to worry about it. Her feet are flat and her head is high. Today, I use it to hold her hands, let the dragon show her claws, and the tiger show her body. She will prosper forever. The activity of "playing with the new house" will be held in the evening. First, put a table and stool in a spacious place. Put two vases with flowers on the table: two tall bowls (raw pork and tofu respectively), light candles, invite the groom to sit in the first seat, and then surround the seats voluntarily by people who can joke with the bride (mostly young people). The most important thing in "building a new house" is "He Li Ji". He said: The small table is square and the four benches are square. Friends and brothers, please sit up. The noisy host is very happy. Hearing this, the host family welcomed him and said that the small table was square and the four benches were square. Thank you for coming to congratulate North Korea. If you want to open a new house, please sit up. After all the people who participated in the "new house beating" sat down, the host took two small bowls and asked the chef for food. He said, start with your left foot and start with your right foot. Use Kirin step by step.

Left-footed stilts, right-footed stilts, BBK with Kirin. Walk into the kitchen door with your foot and express your condolences to the chef for his hard work. Busy during the day does not count, and busy at night is not safe. Dad cooks a bowl of vegetables, and friends and brothers beat the new house. I have given you a tall bowl and a present since I played tonight. After hearing "Geely", the chef replied, "The sky is yellow and the ground is yellow. I want to eat raw meat and have a better time. " . The best man replied: a steel knife with pointed willow leaves killed thousands of chickens, pigs, geese and ducks. Last night, I congratulated him that the groom was one, and tonight, I congratulated him that the groom was a couple. Chef Dad gave a tall bowl, a goose feather thin thread raw meat plate, and a new friend and brother He Xinlang. At this time, the chef carried out several tables of food and wine from the kitchen and put them on the table. The best man congratulated him: the mountain was foggy and jumped into the vegetable garden. The rape blossoms are yellow and the forks are yellow, which is as long as a bag. The fragrance of the squeezed oil has a bright light on He Xinlang. Then someone congratulated him: he broke into a new house, He Xinlang; He Xinlang went to buy a horse to ride; Second, He Xinlang set up a grange; Three heart lang three sworn; Fourth, He Xinlang's beautiful woman turned to the embroidery room; Fifth, He Xinlang's fifth son won the first prize in the discipline; Congratulations to the boy for worshipping Guanyin; Seven-up seven-star Seven Sisters; Yaga Zhang Lang Lv Dongbin; Nine alloy flowers are as golden as leaves; Ten silver flowers are as silver as frost; Eleven, twelve congratulations; Thirteen, fourteen congratulations on the reunion.

At this time, the best man congratulated Geely and invited the bride to pour wine. The best man congratulated the bride and groom with a few "auspicious words" in order to apply for a bride from the new house. When the bride, accompanied by the bridesmaid, covers her mouth with a new towel and enters the venue, "beating the new house" officially begins. The bride's gifts to the participants are wine, candy, biscuits and so on. , are presented by the bride's hands tray. Give it to the groom at the beginning of each round (both copies), and the groom can enjoy it without saying anything. Then, the participants submit it from the left, but they must congratulate a word "Geely" and get the bride's approval before they can enjoy it. This goes on and on until the gifts prepared by the bride are folded, often all night. The whole process was very lively, and the language during the dinner was humorous, showing an auspicious atmosphere. 6. "Beating my old house" and "beating my old house" are the parents of the bride and groom. If your parents are dead, you can let your eldest brother and sister-in-law Participants in the activities are generally of the same age, regardless of age. As night falls, boys are busy planning new houses, and those who make trouble for old houses are not to be outdone. Some moved tables, some carried firewood, and lit a raging fire in the middle of the courtyard dam. Then, they asked the percussion master to divide the music into three steps, then take off with one foot, turn around and stomp, and cycle in turn. About half an hour later, some dancers shouted, telling the host to pass the cigarettes and toast quickly, and the onlookers also shouted to add fun. Some onlookers also said: "Don't sweat or hurt your feet, don't be ashamed to beg from your host?" So everyone continued to dance. After about an hour or two, all the dancers were sweating profusely. Panting. If the master doesn't show up, send someone to look for him separately. At this time, an insider deliberately tipped off the news and simply brought back the owner who had "hidden". He said: "Today, my nephew and niece got married, and we are very happy to be uncles. Everyone came to celebrate, but your parents were relieved without warning. How can we tell you? The host said, "Thanks to your uncles, I married my children today. As the saying goes, choose one month a year, choose one day a month, and choose once a day. Today is a big day, and you uncles have to stay up all night. Because life is not as good as companions, cold dishes and cold wine neglect relatives. Tonight, only clear teacups will entertain everyone. "I heard that, some people say that the master is stingy. Some say that the host doesn't welcome everyone and simply goes home to sleep, while others say that the host "doesn't cry when he sees the coffin". Everyone said something, and I said something, arguing with the master noisily. Finally, someone suggested loudly: "We can't work hard tonight. Since you can't eat wedding candy and drink wedding wine, let's eat it in Pakistan! " Only the audience shouted "yes" in unison, and everyone swarmed and set up a host to "bake" on the fire. At this time, a fire pit was surrounded by three layers outside the crowd. The whole dam group was folded up, and laughter, crying and suona were integrated into one, forming a beautiful and touching symphony on the wedding night. The noisy room reached its climax. Because the owner couldn't stand fumigation, he "begged for mercy" and agreed to the conditions; Sometimes you are cheating and willful. They were flushed and sweaty with baking. After several rounds of fierce battles between the two sides, the host finally "compromised" before giving up. At this time, gang members are estimated to be almost enough. They take the prepared cigarettes, wine and sugar to the host, and the host gives them to the guests in turn. At the same time, the chef also served steaming jiaozi. The activity of disturbing the old house is over. 7. Yi people's weddings and funerals are monogamous and can intermarry with other ethnic groups. The wedding lasted three days. That is, group guests, regular customers and individual customers. Today is the wedding day. Before the Ming Dynasty, the Yi people were cremated and later buried in coffins. A mourning hall is set up after death, and it is usually buried three days later. The day after burial, I went to the cemetery to "go back to the mountain" (to worship the mountain god).
