What are the customs of Yi people? Torch Festival is the most common and grand traditional festival in Yi area, usually on June 24th or 25th in the summer calendar. Different regions have different legends about the origin of this ancient festival. A more common legend is that there was a Hercules Sjelabi in the ancient sky. He heard that there was a strongman, Attila Ba, so he went to earth to wrestle with Attila Ba. As a result, Slaby lost. After calling back to the gods, the gods were furious and sent locusts to trample crops on earth. On June 24, Attila called on people to light pine branches and torches to drive away insects, thus driving away pests and defeating the gods. In order to commemorate the victory over the gods, from now on, every year to today, we must raise a fire to celebrate. Every Torch Festival, Yi people, men and women, old and young, should put on festive costumes, play with livestock, offer spiritual cards, dance, sing, race horses and wrestle. In the evening, we walked around the house and fields with torches, and then got together to light a bonfire and dance.

In the eyes of Yi people, fire symbolizes light, justice and prosperity, and a powerful force that can destroy all evil. Torch Festival is a festival of joy, love and happiness for Yi people. A few days before the Torch Festival, people have prepared all kinds of torches. The first day is to decorate torches at home, just as beautiful; The next day, I went to relatives and friends' houses to celebrate the festival and talk about my torches. On the third day, we lit torches, held them high and walked into the fields, bringing happiness to the people and wishing the farmland a bumper harvest. On the third day, when night falls, it will be Torch Festival. At this time, people cheered and were very lively. The streets are decorated with colorful lights and filled with festive atmosphere. People are wearing colorful clothes and their faces are full of smiles. They held high torches, crowded into the crowd, and sang and danced, which was very lively! They are integrated, and the torch held high is particularly dazzling, instantly turning the originally dark night into day.

What are the customs and habits of the Yi people? Yi costumes vary from place to place. In Liangshan and Qianxi areas, men usually wear black narrow-sleeved right-angle shirts and pleated wide-leg pants, while in some areas they wear feet pants, with a lock of long hair in the middle of the front of their heads and a pincer-like knot on the right. Women mostly retain national characteristics, usually wrapped in a bun with a waist and a belt; Women in some places have the habit of wearing long skirts. Men and women wear jerva when they go out. Jewelry includes earrings, bracelets, rings, neckties, etc. Most of them are made of gold, silver and jade.

The main food in Yi people's life is corn in most areas, followed by buckwheat, rice, potatoes, wheat and oats. Meat mainly includes beef, pork, mutton and chicken. They like to be cut into big pieces (fist size) for cooking, which the Han people call "tuorou". Liangshan and most Yi people do not eat dog meat and do not eat horse meat, frogs and snakes. Yi people like to eat hot and sour, and they are addicted to alcohol, so they have the etiquette of entertaining guests with wine. Wine is essential for solving various disputes, making friends, weddings, funerals and other occasions.

The housing structure of the Yi people is the same as that of the surrounding Han people in some areas, and the houses of the Yi people in Liangshan mostly use slate roofs and earth walls. There are houses in the shape of "Gan Lan" in the Yi nationality areas in Guangxi and eastern Yunnan.

Patriarchal family system prevails in Yi people all over the country, and young children often live with their parents. Women's status is low. The inheritance is divided equally among scholars, and unique businesses are generally owned by close relatives. Father and son names prevailed in the history of Yi people, and this custom continued in Liangshan Yi people until the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC). Monogamy is the basic marriage system of Yi people. Marrying a daughter-in-law requires a higher bride price, and the more table marriage becomes more popular, the husband dies and transfers ownership. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, some Yi areas in Yunnan still maintained the public housing system, and Liangshan Yi people maintained a strict hierarchical internal marriage. In history, most Yi people practiced cremation. Before the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the residents of Liangshan and Yunnan along the Jinsha River still had this burial custom. Other areas have gradually changed to burial since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The custom of Liangshan Yi people is monogamy. Our nation has many unique customs and habits. In the past, men in black hired cattle, horses, gold and silk when they were engaged to get married. Bai Yi hired wine, cloth and money; Cognac uses wine, hemp and fried noodles. After liberation, the dowry was simple. Generally, after young men and women get engaged, the man asks someone to go to the woman's parents to act as matchmaker and bring a bottle of wine. As long as the woman's parents pick up the wine, they agree. Then the man goes to the woman's house for formal engagement, usually with twenty or thirty zhangs of cloth, twenty or thirty dollars, and all the cloth money is given to the woman. After three months, the man will buy three pieces of green cloth or blue cloth, a piece of meat and a bottle of wine to the woman's house. These things are for her parents. They are called "small gifts". The man asked Bimo to choose a date and discuss it with the woman's parents. At this time, you can buy some wedding supplies for the woman according to your family situation, which is the so-called "eight-character". The bride's parents prepare a dowry for their children, usually making a cupboard, two dressing tables, two boxes and three small tables. The big table must be equipped with eight stools, and the second table and the small table only have four stools. You also need to prepare two sets of bedding, washbasin, vat and towel. When the man asks for relatives, he should make a set of clothes for the woman, including Baotou, shoes, needle and thread, etc. , by his bride back to the woman's house. These things will not come out until the woman's parents invite the singer to drink "wedding songs" in the evening. If the singer makes a mistake, the married person will take out the wrong thing and turn it around three times in front of the singer, and put it in his bag with a smile, which will not be returned to the bride or groom. Married people will get it themselves. If the singer sings exactly what he wants. The married man couldn't get out, so the singer hit the married man three times with a dustpan, which caused the guests to burst into laughter. Married people and female singers continue to sing. Female singers must beat married people and let them put the back reed in the middle of the room. Then, the female singer takes out her pants when she sings pants, and takes out her farm jacket when she sings clothes. When a Yi girl gets married, the girl's sisters and brothers and young men and women of the same age can splash water on the guests attending the wedding. In the larger Yi stockade, ten days before the girl got married, the young men and women in the stockade. Just cut some wooden stakes and nail them on both sides of the road, and then use wild vines to control them into tripping ropes. When the wedding guests arrive, they use dozens of buckets of water prepared by the roadside. Dial to the wedding guests. The guests at the wedding can't escape, they are all soaked in the water. Only by running hard and running into the bride's house can we not be splashed. So, prepare a smart wedding person. If he finds that there is a back door in the girl's house or another road leading to the bride's house in the village, he will take advantage of the water splashing person's inattention, walk into the woman's house, light three sticks of incense on the table of the woman's house, burn three pieces of money paper and knock three heads to avoid being splashed by water. However, it is not easy for most married people to do this and they will be splashed with water. It's freezing, teeth are cold, young men and women often laugh, and the woman's parents find clothes to change for the guests attending the wedding. Generally, water is poured, and some places have already poured cow dung water, such as Liangshan. There is a record of "splashing cow dung water" in Volume 12 of Xichang County Records. It is said that the water must be spilled on her husband's house, so that she won't go far away to fetch water, and it's getting late. She has food and clothes. According to historical records, in the past, there was a custom of robbing marriage in Liangshan, Sichuan and parts of Yunnan. "Snatching marriage", according to the Yi people's statement: "This is handed down from the older generation. The man's robbing is a kind of respect for the woman's family, indicating that it is not impossible to get married and send it away. " Although the marriage between men and women is arranged by parents, they are married through a matchmaker. However, when they get married, the man's family sends the matchmaker and the groom's brother to the woman's house to pick up relatives on the first day, and also invites two relatives to spread blankets and carry horn wine with them. To take relatives to the woman's village farmers, two people carrying horn wine first take relatives to the woman's house, and the woman's house has the right to beat them with sticks at their door. At night, the woman's young people can discredit their loved ones. On the third day, the bride's uncle, brother and other relatives sent the bride to the man's house, and they should try to get bowls, spoons or other things from the man's house. When you leave the man's village, you should run around the square outside the village and break the bowl you brought, which is called "talking" locally, and then leave the venue. There is a custom in southern Yunnan. On the basis of mutual love between men and women, the man and the other half take the woman to the man's house in the form of fake robbery, and then make up the marriage proposal ceremony. Young men and women generally take advantage of collective singing and dancing to get to know each other and fall in love during the Spring Festival. If the two are privately married for life, it is convenient for the man to invite a few friends and take the woman to the man's house in the form of fake robbery at the place agreed with the woman in advance at night. Once a woman is taken to a man's room, it means that she is married. The next day, the bride will be at the man's house in ............................................................................................................................................................... & gt

What are the customs and habits of the Yi people? Yi customs:

1, hospitality custom

Folk people have the habit of "beating sheep" and "beating cattle" to welcome guests. If there are visitors, they must be killed first and then treated. According to the identity and closeness of the visitors, they are treated as cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens respectively. Before killing animals, bring live animals to guests, ask them to have a look, and then kill them to show respect. Wine is a welcome gift for guests. In Liangshan, as long as guests come into the house, the host must entertain them with wine first, and then cook various dishes. The fat pig is the most decent meal for the guests. In the middle of eating, housewives should always pay attention to the food in the guest's bowl, and replenish what they can't finish at any time to show their sincerity in hospitality. When eating, the elders sit on it, and the younger generation sits on both sides and below in turn, adding rice, serving dishes and soaking in water to the elders.

2. Marriage customs

After the young men and women are engaged, they should make preparations for the wedding reception. Pigs and chickens are often used at wedding banquets, but mutton is generally not used (mutton is used for funerals). The Shiping Yi people in southern Yunnan have the habit of inviting men and women to eat and drink before marriage. Yi people in western Yunnan, who have married their daughters, want to build a shed with branches in the yard or on the dam for guests to drink, smoke, eat and sit around. People call this temporary shed made of branches a "green shed".

Marriage and love of Yi people are strange and interesting. The most interesting thing is that girls who have held the "dressing ceremony" can have sex with their sweetheart in the "theater", and there are traditional wedding customs such as the matchmaker saying that they are friendly to drink and engage in betrothal, starving the bride, crying all night, splashing water on the guests attending the wedding, robbing the bride and fighting in the bridal chamber.

Girls change nepotism.

When Yi girls come of age (usually 15 years old), they will hold a grand "dressing ceremony" according to the custom. At the ceremony of changing skirts, the girl asked her sisters to change her original single braid into double braids and put them on her head. It is also necessary to tear off the original white pendant or old earring line and replace it with coral beads or silver earrings such as red agate to show good luck. Finally, the girl took off the original red and white children's skirt and put on a blouse embroidered with lace and a colorful pleated mop-up dress in black, blue, yellow and white. After putting on new clothes, the girl can go to the "playground" to dance and sing, participate in social and Yi communication activities, and start looking for her sweetheart.

Back bride

According to Yi custom, when the bride leaves the house, her feet can't touch the ground, otherwise there is a danger that her children are not sweet. The young man who takes care of the bride must carry her and help her get on the horse. There are also various rules on the way home: if the mountain is too high and the road is too narrow to ride a horse, the young man who takes care of the bride must take turns carrying the bride; Crossing the river and wading, it is even more necessary for people to carry water across the river. The bride's embroidered shoes must not get wet.

Splash water on relatives.

Yi people believe that clear water can drive away evil spirits and bring happiness. Therefore, Yi people must splash water when they get married. In order to withstand this test, men should be strong and nimble when greeting their relatives, so as to cope with the cold of splashing water and complete the arduous task of robbing the bride. They often review candidates repeatedly and select the best candidates, and some of them travel long distances to select talents.

The wedding ceremony of the Yi people was completed by robbery. On the first night of "robbing the bride", the girls launched a fierce water war against the young man. The girls attacked the young man violently in various ways, such as splashing, splashing and patting. This makes it difficult for young people who come to "grab relatives" to parry. So, the clever young man found a place to store water before dark and quietly dumped some of it to alleviate the attack of "flood".

After pouring water all night, it was dawn and "robbing relatives" began. At this time, the girls hug the bride and the boys go to the "competition". Girls are well-defended, while boys are smart and changeable. They took advantage of the loophole that appeared in an instant, grabbed the bride and ran, and ran out of the Yierli Mountain Road before changing. It can be seen that it is not easy to "grab" the bride to her husband's house! However, the Yi people believe that this kind of splashing and robbing in the wedding will drive away evil spirits and ensure that their future life will not be disturbed.

Fight in the bridal chamber

According to the custom of the Yi people, if the bride doesn't resist and struggle on her wedding night, she will be laughed at: "This is a woman who can't resist!" "It is said that the children they will give birth to in the future will not be recognized by their ancestors, and they will not be able to enter the underworld after death! So the banquet guests dispersed, and a couple in the bridal chamber still fought. They were banging, tearing their clothes and scratching their faces, and the banging from the bridal chamber shocked the neighbors. After the young men and women are engaged, they should make preparations for the wedding reception. Pigs and chickens are often used at wedding banquets, but mutton is generally not used (mutton is used for funerals). The Shiping Yi people in southern Yunnan have the habit of inviting men and women to eat and drink before marriage. Yi people in western Yunnan, who will marry who >>

Who knows what customs the Yi minority have? Torch Festival is celebrated for three days:

The first day of Torch Festival: Sacrificing fire. On this day, all villages will slaughter cattle and sheep, share them collectively, and prepare wine and meat to worship their ancestors. When night falls, people near the village will set up an altar at the location selected by the old man, and tap stones to light the flame in the traditional way. Bimo (a Yi folk priest) will recite the scriptures and offer sacrifices to Vulcan. Then, every household, adults and children will wander in the corner of the field with torches made of wormwood from Bimo, imitating Asher's legend of fire repellent.

The second day of Torch Festival: spread the fire. On this day, every family gathers under the sacred fire of the altar and holds various traditional festivals. Boys should imitate the legendary Atiba, horse racing, wrestling, singing, bullfighting, fighting sheep and cockfighting. The girls imitate the legendary Ash, wearing beautiful clothes and holding butter umbrellas, dancing "Doloho" and body dancing. On this day, the most important activity is the beauty contest of Yi family. Old people should choose handsome men and beautiful women of the year from boys and girls according to Ashiba's legendary standards of diligence, courage, kindness, intelligence and beauty. As night falls, a pair of affectionate men and women, in the mountains, by the stream, under the butter umbrella, pluck Qin Yue, play the strings and tell each other about their lovesickness. Therefore, some people call Liangshan Yi International Torch Festival "Valentine's Day in the East".

Torch Festival Day 3: Send fire. This is the * * * of the entire Liangshan Yi International Torch Festival. On this day, when night falls, everyone will run around with torches. Finally, people gathered their torches together to form a huge bonfire, and happy people gathered around the bonfire to sing and dance heartily. The scene is extremely spectacular. Therefore, it is also called "Oriental Carnival Night".

Torch Festival is an ancient and important traditional festival for Yi, Bai, Naxi, Jinuo and Lahu nationalities. With profound folk culture connotation, it enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad and is called "Oriental Carnival". Different ethnic groups hold Torch Festivals at different times, mostly on June 24th of the lunar calendar. The main activities are bullfighting, goat shooting, cockfighting, horse racing, wrestling, song and dance performances, beauty contests and so on. In the new era, the Torch Festival has been endowed with new folk functions and produced new forms.

1) Torch Festival tunes

There are a lot of torch songs in Yi area. Although there are various forms, there are fixed torch songs. Due to the different pronunciations of Yi dialects, Yi people in Liangshan, large and small, call it "Du Ze Duo Luo", which means to sacrifice fire, "Duo Luo" means to make a wish, and "Ho" is a song. The branch of Sunuo of the Yi nationality in Chuxiong, Yunnan Province is called "blossoming", which means offering sacrifices to Vulcan, and "er" means "playing". The Torch Festival of Yi people has always been the most grand, and has gradually evolved into a complete set of folk songs.

Among the songs of the Yi people in Chuxiong, there are songs of burning fire, sending fire, evoking spirits, Le Tong, antithesis of torch festival, torch festival sacrifice and so on. The time, place and singer of singing these songs are different. For example, "Song of Burning Passion and Fire" means that the whole family sings around the "festival fire" under their own eaves under the leadership of their parents to celebrate; "Evocation of Soul" is sung by housewives alone, and at the same time, holding sacrifices (grain, salt, wine and meat), they go straight to their vegetable fields or grain fields. When I came back, I picked a crop seedling, which indicated that I had brought the human soul, the livestock soul and the crop soul home to spend the Torch Festival together, and at the same time symbolized the year of welcoming Ding Qingji, the prosperity of six livestock and the bumper harvest of grains. "Torch Festival duet" is only sung by people in this village when they meet at the dam site near the village; The sacrificial song of Torch Festival consists of four parts: animal husbandry production, wine sacrifice, sacrifice and rice field sacrifice. This song was recited by the priest Bimo on the night of the Torch Festival, which reflected the primitive religious concept of Yi people, that is, to eliminate worship with fire and pray for happiness.

The torch songs of the Yi people in Chuxiong are mostly traditional five-character rhyming sentences, with relatively fixed linings at the beginning and end of each sentence, and filled with function words such as "Oh, Gang, Dili" and "Ah, Gang, Oh, Lai". Some songs have long blank words, such as solo, chorus, duet, harmony, etc., and generally do not need instrumental accompaniment. Most songs are pentatonic, followed by feather tones. In its songs with high requirements for timbre, there is often a phenomenon that timbre and rhyme are intertwined. Most of them have evolved into middle and small songs and a few narrative songs with the theme of upper and lower phrases, using two or three beats, especially "××? Generally speaking, this kind of torch songs are open-minded, simple, vigorous and full of national characteristics.

The daily life customs of the Yi people are characterized by large dispersion and small settlement, so the houses of the Yi people are different everywhere. But most houses have a fire pit, which will not go out all year round. It is not only used for heating, lighting, stewing or baking food, but also the center for gathering friends and receiving guests. Pot stones or tripods in the fire pit shall not be trodden with feet, and spitting in the fire pit is strictly prohibited. Grill unclean things, as well as taboos in the fireplace. Yi people have strict customs and habits for the young and old, men and women, subjects and guests. When meeting elders, the younger generation must stand aside and let the elders go first; When the elders enter the house, they must be seated, and the rest are seated in turn; When eating, the elders sit on it (commonly known as "the upper seat"), and the younger generation sits on both sides and below in turn, waiting on the elders to add rice, vegetables and soaking. Don't touch the heads of adults and old people. A brother can joke with his sister-in-law, but a brother can't joke with his sister-in-law. The guest entered the room and offered his seat. The host sits on the guest's left, and the younger generation sits opposite the guest. It is forbidden to wear sandals on the kang; Take off your shoes when you go upstairs; Naked and semi-naked adults are prohibited from entering the house; Don't step on the threshold or sit on it; Don't knock on tables and bowls with chopsticks; Don't whistle, sing folk songs and swear at home; Women's clothes and trousers can't be dried in passing places and beside honeycombs; It is forbidden to urinate in front of the sun.

It is forbidden for outsiders, brothers, fathers, uncles, uncles' brothers and daughters-in-law to "Nimude" at the owner who is bounded by the upper right of Guo Zhuang Stone.

Choosing a place of residence The Yi people's place of residence is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful soil, fertilizer and grass. After the site selection, the house will be built. The methods of building houses by Yi people in Liangshan are rolling away, cooking rice and burning sheep shoulder bones. Fuck off, that is, take an egg and roll it on the homestead, and then set up three stones to cook the egg in the pot. After cooking, peel off the eggshell and see if the egg nest is right or wrong. With luck, you can build a house and choose another address. Li Mi, hold five grains of rice in your hand, then erect the rice one by one in the middle direction of southeast, northwest and northwest, and buckle it with a bowl. If you find that the rice grains are lost and dumped unlucky the next day, choose another address.

The square pattern is Shangji, the word pattern is Zhong Ping, and the cross pattern is unlucky. These are superstitions and are gradually being eliminated. The back door faces east, facing the slope. Avoid opening the door to the bald mountain; There is water after the house is banned, otherwise it is easy to send flash floods and endanger the house. ?

Village characteristics: Liangshan Yi production is a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry. Historically, because the Yi people are often harassed by other ethnic groups and have frequent internal struggles, most villages choose to live on mountains or slopes with dangerous terrain, or on sunny slopes near river valleys. In this way, they have a preventable danger, a way to go, and a foresight. Terraces in front and pastures in the back are ideal places for Yi people to live. Generally, mountainous areas are scattered, and Pingba Valley is inhabited.

Marriage and love of Yi people

Before 1949, due to the different distribution areas and branches of the Yi people, the differences in social and economic forms in different places were also reflected in the regionality of the marriage system. The specific performance is as follows:

(1) Monogamy.

In Yi society, monogamy adapted to patriarchal clan system is the dominant form of marriage. In Liangshan before, except for some children of Xia Xi and Aga, when men and women were children or young, it was their fathers who chose objects for them, sought matchmakers' words, predicted marriage and engaged them. The wedding will be held after a certain time. After marriage, except for the youngest son, all of them separated from their parents, married separately and formed monogamous families. If the husband is still young after marriage, the bride will go back to her mother's house and wait for her husband to become an adult before starting a family. As for Aga and Xia Xi, they are still in the form of monogamy after being married by their owners or with their consent. In the past, some aristocratic rulers and rich people also had polygamy. Generally speaking, their wives live in different places. Although the first wife of all wives has a high position in the family, she has no right to manage and dominate other wives. However, if you remarry, you must obtain the consent of your first wife in advance, and after making the gift, you must hold a banquet for your relatives and friends. Otherwise, it may lead to criticism and fighting between enemies. ?

The Yi people in Liangshan, large and small in Sichuan and Yunnan, practice "intra-ethnic marriage", "hierarchical marriage", "family support marriage", "house transfer system", "menstruation cousins don't get married" and "menstruation cousins get married first". "Intra-ethnic marriage" means that both spouses must be Yi people, and it is forbidden to marry other nationalities. If they violate it, according to the common law, they will be executed or expelled from their homes. "Intra-rank marriage" means that the black Yi must marry the black Yi, and it is strictly forbidden for black Yi men and women to marry men and women of other ranks. If black Yi women marry men of other ranks, both parties will be executed; For example, in other grades of black Yi men and women, men will be expelled from the clan or executed, and women will be executed. "Marriage outside the family branch" means that marriage is strictly prohibited within the same family branch, and the spouse must choose outside the family branch. If sexual relations occur within the same family branch, it is regarded as * * *, and both parties shall implement it according to the common law. "Transfer system", that is, after the husband of a married woman dies, she is still in childbearing age and must transfer to another man in her husband's family. The order of transferring houses is: peers first, if there is no suitable candidate among peers, then the younger generation or elders. There are no restrictions except that you can't transfer to your son and your cousin's marriage to your father-in-law. "Aunt doesn't get married", that is, it is forbidden for aunt and cousin to get married. Aunties and cousins, like brothers and sisters, can neither get married nor have extramarital sex, otherwise they will ... >>
