Chapter 275 Utopia

"The door of life and death is only opened when someone in the family is born or dies. It leads to the room where Mosuo women give birth to confinement and Mosuo people put their bodies after death."

"Why do you have to put the baby in the same room as the body?"

"Come naked, go naked, where did you come from, where do you go back." He Huan said.

"Look at the mani piles around you. They believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and every household has a scripture hall. The Buddhist idea of ​​immortality and reincarnation makes them think that the deceased is not dead, but to reincarnate in the next life. up.

So they don't park the remains on the bed.Instead, a hole will be dug in the house, and the deceased will be tied up into the hole in the posture of a fetus in the mother's womb.Let the dead go back and forth from where they came from, and reincarnate.

Temporarily bury the deceased in the house, and seal the surroundings with ghee to prevent corruption.Then inform the whole village and ask the lamas to calculate the date of the funeral.

Funeral is the most important event in Mosuo people's life!Because the Mosuo people don't celebrate their birthdays, they think that birthdays are the day of their mother's suffering.

They are not married, so there is no wedding.They have none of the big things in our lives.The full moon, coming-of-age ceremony, and funeral have become the three major events in their lives.

Among them, the funeral is the most solemn.Park it in the gate of life and death until the day of the funeral, and then carry it out for cremation.The whole process of the funeral is all in charge of the man. "

"Aren't they honoring women?" asked a tourist.

"This is a manifestation of respecting women. It is different from what we usually know that women cannot sacrifice.

The whole process is managed by men, precisely because the Mosuo people believe that women are related to life and the source of life. They must stay away from death and not be contaminated with death, which is related to the reproduction of the house.

Therefore, every link in the funeral, from hospitality to cooking, is borne by men. "

"Oh." Everyone nodded.

"It's like what kind of woman goes to the grave, her natal family is extinct. Women are not allowed to sacrifice. It is the traditional thinking that women are yin and offend their ancestors. It is said that the ancestors are all yin. Could it be possible that a living person can be more yin than him, so he offended him?"

"Hahaha……"

"The whole process of Mosuo's funeral is in charge of the men. When the cannon fires, the whole Lugu Lake hears it. Then every household in the village slaughters pigs and sheep, cleans up the guest rooms, and prepares to entertain guests from other villages. Foreign guests come to every house. Every family eats and drinks, and sits on the flowing water mat."

"The whole village?" Everyone was shocked.

"That's right! A village is only so big! Except for the matrilineal families, the whole village helps each other. People from the entire Lugu Lake gather in the village, as well as friends from outside the mountains.

The more people who come prove that the dead are more respected.If it's an older female in the family who dies, it's a huge crowd.This is the extended response from a matrilineal family to a matrilineal society. "

"It will definitely not happen now. Now that the cannon fires, everyone runs away, and no one receives tourists."

The tourists were speechless.

"So we don't need to pay for lunch. The ethnic minorities in Yunzhou are really hospitable. If you come from afar, they will feel sorry if you don't stay for a meal. Of course, you have to have the opportunity to meet such a real minority family."

"We are too lucky!"

"They don't invite everyone. Now that there are more tourists, they don't dare to invite them into the house randomly."

The tourists looked at him with a smile, "I know, I know, we were all invited into the house by following you."

He Huan said with a smile: "People sang and danced around the bonfire at the funeral. This is also a social occasion for men and women. When dancing, both parties pick their palms, and a relationship begins.

Compared with seeing death as a sad thing, ethnic minorities are very free and easy.You can't stop someone from falling in love. "

"Hahaha……"

"For example, we always have some moral guards. When people are sad, they don't allow other people to fall in love or be happy. Otherwise, it's a big treason."

"It's shameful not to fall in love!" said a male tourist.

He Huan glanced at him.

The tourists laughed.

"This is mainly the Confucianism distorted by Neo-Confucianism. The desire to destroy human beings is to preserve the principles of nature. In fact, Confucianism does not object to the great desires of men and women. Therefore, under no circumstances should you delay eating, drinking and doing things you like. Compared with hypocrites, I would rather not conscience."

"Hahaha……"

"You guys go ahead and eat meat, go ahead and show your affection!"

The tourists began to hug their waists and shoulders to show their affection as he wished.

"Think about the ancestors who migrated from the bitter cold north and found a place with abundant water and grass to settle down. Isn't everything the ancestors did for the happiness of future generations?"

"Ah."

Everyone nodded, and Long Teng also looked at him.

"In addition to the influence of Buddhism, their native religion, Dabaism, is very important when sending the remains on the road. The Dabaism has a certain relationship with the Dongba religion of the Naxi people.

The ideological basis of Dabaism and Dongbaism is animism, and they believe in nature worship, totem worship, goddess worship, and ancestor worship.

Daba recites the migration route of the ancestors, leading the deceased to return to the land of the ancestors and return to nature.In a grand ceremony, the ashes are scattered on the hillside or under the tree.

After that, there was no more worship, but Qingming, no cemetery left, and everything returned to nature.That party was the end of the world.

Relatives and friends still live their lives, and the dead rest in peace.So there are no graves here.They have become one with the land. "

Everyone looked around and saw that the green hills were greener and greener, and they were suddenly very moved.

"Suddenly I feel that this way is also very good."

"Yes!"

"That's what I want in the future. Don't cry and make me upset when I die."

"Hahaha……"

Long Teng looked at the rolling green hills.

"So just be happy and live your own life. People who really love you will never talk about love, saying how much she has paid for you. People who really love you don't want you to wallow in sadness inside."

Yuan Yuan bit her lip.Yuan Yuan's father put his arms around his shoulders.

Long Teng was also lost in thought.

"As the head of the family, the old grandmother is not as majestic and happy as some old grandpas. Everyone in the family is heartbroken when they see him!"

The tourists laughed, thinking of the majestic old man of a wealthy family on TV.

"I just saw it in my grandmother's house. The grandmother's bed is very narrow and can only lie down. The layout is not gorgeous, and it can't be compared with the flower building.

It means that there are so many children and grandchildren in the family, and being a family member cannot enjoy happiness.She doesn't do nothing, and the grandmother guards the firepit in the grandmother's house, so that the fire will never go out.

Before dawn, we have to get up and bake the cakes by the firepit, burn the buttered tea, and make breakfast for the family.Therefore, a man who walks away from marriage can't leave too late, or he will be bumped into by the old grandmother when he is too late.

There are other tasks to be done as well.The children in the family also grew up in or around the grandmother's house.The old grandmother is the backbone of the family, maintaining and taking care of the whole family.

After thousands of years, patriarchy has evolved into patriarchy.But the matriarchy has existed among the Mosuo people for 2000 years, but it has not evolved into matriarchy.

The old grandmother witnesses the life and death of the whole family, the full moon ceremony, and coming-of-age ceremony. The daily life and life events of the Mosuo people are all completed in the grandmother's house, under the eyes of the grandmother.

However, this did not turn out to be matriarchy.The old grandmother is still so kind and hardworking.This is amazing ha! "

Everyone also nodded.

"Perhaps women themselves pay more attention to family and relationships, are more willing to give, and have little desire for power. Therefore, matriarchal families are very warm. Mosuo people, regardless of gender, respect their mothers and contribute voluntarily to the family."

Everyone was very moved.

"Nowadays the media likes to confront men and women, and everyone is impetuous. In fact, both men and women can come to Mosuo people to receive education. Mosuo women maintain their hardworking and gentle virtues, and Mosuo men also respect and protect women from the bottom of their hearts.

Many people come to Lugu Lake because of gimmicks, what they think in their hearts, or some self-proclaimed locals and travel agencies.Looking at the Mosuo people with a flirtatious look, I thought they were not responsible.In fact, no matter they are men or women, they just know how to be responsible. "

Everyone nodded. Indeed, at noon, we saw the Mosuo family's kindness and filial piety, brothers and sisters respectful and enthusiastic towards guests, and the matriarchal family did a good job of Confucian culture.

Now after Xiaobailong's explanation, they no longer stay on the superficial surface of walking marriage.

Everyone thinks, if it is not for the entry of outsiders and the impact of foreign cultures, perhaps the love and family of the Mosuo people are really an ideal country, which can continue in these mountains and lakes.

But no matter how modest a person is, how can he withstand the impact of luxury and power?
Perhaps, that was the last Mosuo family they saw.

Lead everyone down and let them go to the curb to pick up the car.Long Teng looked up at the green hill in a daze, his face full of melancholy.He Huan stopped and looked at her with concern, "What's wrong?"

Long Teng shook his head, and continued walking forward.

Around the lake to the territory of Sichuan, the number of scenic spots gradually increased, and so did the number of people.

He Huan said: "There are scenic spots that parents want to compete for. Yunzhou and Sichuan compete for Lugu Lake and Shangri-La."

The tourists laughed.

"We have come to Sichuan now, and there are many scenic spots along the way. Therefore, friends in Sichuan often feel unhappy, which means that all the scenic spots in Ming Lugu Lake are in Sichuan! Why do you say it is in Yunzhou?"

"Hahaha……"

"The main reason is that Yunzhou's tourism development was early."

A carload of laughter.

"Yunzhou's tourism management measures are also relatively fast and complete. For example, if you buy money and medicine at Mosuo's home visit and feel that you have been scammed and don't want it anymore, you can directly return the product for a refund.

The goods are directly returned to the Lugu Lake Tourism Management Office in Yunzhou, so that the merchants will not be afraid of cheating.Because the penalties are severe, most merchants will refund you quickly.

In Sichuan, you have complained, you can only say that they will investigate and they will regulate, thank you for your opinion, thank you for your call. "

"Hahaha……"

"The tour guide in Yunzhou, in order to avoid punishment, took you to the Sichuan jurisdiction to buy things. You only need to complain to Yunzhou, and Yunzhou can handle it for you quickly.

As long as either the tour guide or the store is under the management of Yunzhou, it can be dealt with quickly.

But if it is not a Yunzhou tour guide or a store under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, Yunzhou can only say: Dear, I will help you contact Sichuan immediately.Then……"

He Huan coughed.

The tourists laughed again.

"So it doesn't matter whether Lugu Lake is in Yunzhou or Sichuan, but when you buy things in Lugu Lake, it is very important whether you buy in Sichuan or Yunzhou, and whether the Sichuan tour guide takes you or Yunzhou tour guide takes you to buy. gone."

The tourists laughed.

"It's not black Sichuan. The main reason is that Sichuan has a large land and abundant resources, and the management of Lugu Lake is relatively late. The development of tourism in Yunzhou province has experienced many complaints before the establishment of such a rapid processing mechanism. This point should be praised for Yunzhou tourism. .”

He Huan gave a thumbs up, and the tourists clapped.

Long Teng looked at him with a bit of stupidity.It's not easy for him to live!
