When I feel Loki, the whole family will get together, or kill pigs and chickens to celebrate the prosperous population in that year and the good luck and well-being in the coming year.

Coos means new year, and the main content is to worship ancestors. After the cock crows in the morning, the whole village will slaughter Nian pigs, which will be slaughtered in turn from the old people or elders in the same village. Use the gallbladder, pancreas and urine bag of the old pig to predict the good or bad of the host family. The pig's gallbladder is full, the color is good, the pancreas is flat, there is no defect, and the urine bag is full, which is an auspicious sign, indicating that the population will be prosperous, the whole family will be healthy and the grain will be plentiful in the coming year. At the same time, it is divided into two meals: "giving up money" and "giving up people" "Giving up money" is mainly to worship ancestors. Pig kidney, pig liver, pig tongue and pig pancreas are cooked together to worship ancestors. "Shemin" is a group meal for the whole family. After eating the Social Democratic Party, men have to cut pork into pieces and women have to make sausages. On the same day, they will hang fresh meat and sausages on the fireplace for roasting, and at the same time, they will show their owners' annual pig fat, which is auspicious and shows their wealth.

Blossom means the first day of a month. In the morning, when a chicken calls its owner, it will get up and make soup. Mash the heart and lungs, boil the oil out in a pan, and then add bean sprouts and dried (fresh) bamboo shoots to the water to make soup. In the morning, the whole family will enjoy this delicious soup. In the morning, women organize children in the whole village to sacrifice fruit trees, which is a ceremony of "social day". Every child should bring a pig's front hoof, corn cob, etc. Choose a leafy fruit tree and let a child climb the tree to accompany the tree god. Under the guidance of a woman, all the children prayed that the tree god would bear more fruits for the children to share, so as to ensure their healthy growth and so on. Then cut the meat brought by the child into small pieces and put it on branches or bark. After social day, it's New Year's greetings. The New Year greetings of Yi people are spectacular and lively. Generally, dozens of people go door to door to pay New Year greetings. During the New Year's greetings, the host's family brought us water and wine to drink. At the same time, the New Year greeting team also sang New Year greetings to the host, and young people danced, wrestled and jumped over the pot. Everyone is happy all night, regardless of each other, regardless of relatives and friends.

The Apu means to send away the ancestral spirit. In the afternoon, I will make fat intestines and vegetables, and women will pay New Year's greetings. Men will receive New Year greetings at home. After the three-day Lunar New Year, Yi people will carry large pig arms (usually divided into three, five and seven) and wait for wine, sugar, thousand-layer cakes, fried noodles and eggs to pay New Year greetings to their parents-in-law. The whole Yi people 10 are immersed in the joy of the Lunar New Year.

The Year of the Yi Nationality is an important festival of the Yi nationality. Since ancient times, the Yi people have attached great importance to the New Year, which is very lively. There is no way to know when the Year of the Yi people began. Many ceremonies of Liangshan Yi people during the New Year are related to ancestor worship, and the whole festival is full of a strong sense of ancestor supremacy.

In Yi areas, people usually celebrate the Year of the Yi people around October of the lunar calendar. According to the research of relevant experts and scholars, it is due to the October solar calendar of the Yi people (see History of Yi Literature edited by Chen Jiujing, Yang Lu and Liu Yaohan, Yunnan People's Publishing House, 199 1). October solar calendar is a special calendar created by Yi ancestors. According to this calendar, there are ten months in a year, 36 days in a month, 360 days in * * *, and five to six days for Chinese New Year. This calendar has no distinction between big and small months, and each month is 36 days, which is convenient for people to remember. In October solar calendar, watch the tail of the Big Dipper ("Shani" in Yi language) (bucket handle) in winter night, and watch the tail of the Big Dipper ("Shani" in Yi language) (bucket handle) in summer night. Take the great cold and summer heat as January day to accurately reflect the seasonal change law. The two festivals in winter and summer, namely the Year of the Yi Nationality and the Torch Festival of the Yi Nationality, are set on December 16th and June 24th of the lunar calendar respectively. According to the calculation, it takes 365.33 days to go back and forth in winter and summer. The solar calendar is characterized by neat structure, scientific simplicity and convenient use. Studies by some experts and scholars show that the Torch Festival and the Year of the Yi people, which are popular in Yi areas now, were originally formulated according to the solar calendar. When bucket handle, the symbol of the Big Dipper, refers to the summer heat, it is the Torch Festival. The Year of the Yi Nationality is the time when bucket handle, whose star circle symbolizes the Big Dipper, refers to the Great Cold.

In the year of Yi people, Liangshan Yi people called it "Ku" or "New Year". The Yi language in 1989 called it Ku, which means: turn, turn, turn, turn, cycle. In the Yi people's concept of time and space, the northernmost point is generally the starting point. After the sunset point moves south to the southernmost point in winter, it does not move south, and then moves north after staying here for a few days. This endpoint is called "cuckoo", which means "the turning point of the sun". Then in summer, the setting point of the sun moves to the northernmost endpoint, not moving north but returning south. This endpoint is called "Bujiu", which means "the return point of the sun". Then gradually move south to the southernmost end. The round-trip period from the northernmost point to the southernmost point is one year. This time is about the winter solstice-summer solstice-winter solstice. People usually celebrate the Year of the Yi people at this time of winter solstice.

As for the specific time to celebrate the Year of the Yi people, Liangshan Yi people usually celebrate in Bujiu. According to relevant scholars' research (see Wang Changfu's Liangshan Yi People's Etiquette and Custom), Sichuan Nationalities Publishing House1994; The Liangshan Style of Luo, Sichuan Nationalities Publishing House, 2002. According to the survey, in the past, some cold areas such as Yuexi, Zhaojue and Hanyuan were celebrated in October of the solar calendar. In some areas, such as Xichang, Xide, Mianning, Huili, Miyi, Yanbian, Yanyuan and Muli, and Ninglang, Yongsheng, Huaping and Yongren counties in Yunnan, the twelfth lunar month is the first day of China New Year.
