Amahi, a traditional festival of Hani nationality in Yunnan?

Hani nationality is an ancient minority in China, mainly distributed between Yuanjiang and Lancang River. This is a country with many internal branches and myths and cultures. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the traditional festival of the Hani people-Amash Festival. Let's have a look.

Amash Festival, also known as Mother Sacrifice Festival, is a traditional festival of Hani people in Yunnan Province. It is held in February of the lunar calendar every year. The word "horse" in hani language literally translates as "woman" and "mother", so some people call this festival "Mother Sacrifice Day".

On the other hand, although the Hani people are polytheists, they respect making sacred trees the most and think that making sacred trees is the protector of mankind. The so-called "Ama" in hani language literally translates as "making a sacred tree" or "making a sacred forest", so some people translate this section as "making a sacred tree by offering sacrifices", which is also a festival for worshipping and making a sacred tree in the village.

According to legend, in ancient times, people and ghosts were brothers, but later they were separated because of disagreement. Ghosts live in vegetation, while people live in weeds. Ghosts often disturb people, so people complain to the gods, who sympathize with human beings, so they turn their daughters into trees to protect their villages, and on this day every year, people are called to beat gongs and drums where ghosts live and cover vegetation with ashes to kill evil spirits. Over time, it became a festival of sacrifice.

The sacred tree in the village is a family unit, and each family has its own sacred tree. At that time, wizards would first wave long knives and swim around the village, meaning to drive away Vulcan and plague in the village, and then hang wooden knives and sticks painted with dog blood at the entrance of the village. This is called breaking the road. Think that ghosts can't enter the village, and outsiders can't enter the village when they see it.

Then, the wizard led the people in the village to repair the well, and each family brought clean water and a man. Together, they killed a big pig with pure black hair in front of the holy tree, sacrificed its head and feet, and shared the rest with each family equally, meaning to share it with God. If there are infertile women, they can hold pig's trotters in front of the holy tree for sacrifice. People think it will give birth to children.
