What are the common sense of Wa civilization etiquette?

In the Wa motto, there is a saying of "Gringras Yan", which means "Worship is right". It is embodied in two aspects: the worship of human beings and the worship of nature. The worship of human beings aims at the harmony between people and the communication between people and God. The worship of nature lies in the harmony between man and God and the unity between man and nature. There are four kinds of interpersonal worship: marriage worship, birth worship, worship and festival worship.

Worship: The newlyweds should worship their uncle and the woman's parents in the wedding year, and the wedding will be complete. When visiting the church, the bride should bring her own cotton blanket made of cotton thread, give her uncle a bed, a bag of tea and three pounds of bacon. 3 to 5 pieces of glutinous rice Baba, 3 sugarcane. These gifts represent the filial piety of the bride and groom to their uncles and elders. The elders of my uncle's family want to kill the chicken to sacrifice to the gods. Please ask the priests to pray for the gods to bless the newlyweds, cook the chicken with rice for everyone to eat, and use the femur, head and tongue of the chicken to predict good or bad luck. Wa newlyweds pay homage to their elders, and the elders pray for them, which is an important part of the wedding.

Fertility worship: children who get married and start a family should take their babies to worship their grandparents and uncles before they have children and their babies are under one year old. The gifts brought are tea, banana glutinous rice cake, bacon and so on. Parents-in-law and uncles will give the baby a little hen that hasn't laid an egg and a fresh egg as a soul protector. Eggs are made for children, and hens should take good care of them. Elders should also tie red and black cotton thread on their children's hands to seek and give souls. Salute. This is everyone's worship of tribal leaders or castellans. The worshippers will bring some gifts, such as tea, water and wine. And the leaders have to pray to the worshippers for God's blessing. Worship and festival worship have two meanings: one is to communicate feelings in secular life, and the other is to maintain spiritual communication in the spiritual world, thus promoting the Zhai Wang nation.

In the Wa group, it is also necessary to talk about the "worship is right" between man and nature. Wa people believe that everything in nature has life and spirituality. For the harmony between man and nature, the Wa people have always advocated nature and worshipped the god of nature. As big as heaven and earth, as small as ants; Worship them and be kind to them near the house and away from the mountains. They believe that all existing natural objects have spirituality and dignity. They are not only used by human beings, but also their good companions and friends. For example, stones, although unable to grow and speak, are still spiritual. Therefore, treat the stone like all other things and worship it.

The Wa people's myth of "Four Gangli" actually embodies the worship of rocks. The biggest rock they worship is Mount Lyme. It is said that it is because of Mount Lyme. It is said that Mount Lyme is the birthplace of mankind, and the gods of Mount Lyme are the great guardians of the Wa people.

In order to maintain people's permanent dependence on mountains and forests, the Wa people have a set of laws and regulations on logging, planting trees and protecting trees in traditional dry land operations. Rest by rotation, farming for several years and rest by rotation for several years, is to protect the mountain forest from soil erosion. Every time the Wa people cut down a tree, they should put a stone on the root to show their gratitude to the tree god.

Hospitality: Wa people are hospitable. As long as you enter the stockade, whether raw or cooked, you will be treated with courtesy and treated as a VIP. When you enter the door, the host will propose a toast to you first, not tea. Wa men, women and children like to drink, so they entertain guests with their favorite things to show their enthusiasm. If a guest comes, he will feel very sorry as soon as he enters. In addition to explaining, he will immediately borrow wine to make up this gift: after the host fills the wine, he will lift the cup to the ground with both hands, draw an arc, and then lift it for the guests. Guests should accept it warmly and drink it off; If you can't drink it, explain it with a cup. You'd better touch the cup with your mouth and make a drink. The host thought it was a respect for him, so he was also very happy.

Wa people avoid "white". Guests should carefully check whether there are "white" signs and signs on themselves. They think white is an unlucky color. Guests will not have eggs to eat. First, the eggshell is white. Second, "egg" and "light" are homophonic, and the host is infatuated with guests, not getting weaker as he eats them. It is the best hospitality gift-rotten chicken rice, and you will never use white-haired chicken. No matter who gives birth to a child in the village, it is a big event in the village, and every family should be enthusiastic to help. Some villages slaughter wild boars to celebrate; Some families will give themselves a chicken to eat.

Helping each other is the main manifestation of Wa nationality's traditional morality. When any family in the village gets married, gives birth, gets sick, etc. All the people in the village came to help, visited and delivered wine, rice and money. If a guest encounters this kind of thing, he can generally decide according to his own conditions, or buy a catty of wine or a few dollars for the host as a token of appreciation.
