Road idiot tour guide

Chapter 354

"Now the newly built gate is not called Longba Gate, because there are tea mountains and tea factories here, and there are more people coming from outside. We outsiders will be shy when we see it, or look at it curiously, so they will give the statue Put on clothes.

But there is not only one Longba gate, there are several Longba gates in a village as the way to enter the village.

In these forests and small roads that are not close to the road, they will continue to keep their Longbamen.Ordinary people come in through the gate and take the main road, so they don't pay attention to the door on the small road. "

The tourists nodded, "Speaking of which, we have influenced them."

"Yes, ethnic integration. People come and go, everyone is embarrassed, and they feel strange when they see this. They may not bother to explain to every outsider, so they set up new statues in places where outsiders pass by a lot, So we just walked along the road and didn't see such a beautiful view."

"Hahaha……"

"Although this is more in line with the traditions of mass society, they are unwilling to give up their own traditions, so they continue to maintain their original statues in these places that are not easy to be noticed."

The tourists laughed and said, "Sin, sin."

"Longba Gate is the boundary gate between the yin and yang worlds. Once you enter, you will be protected from ghosts. Therefore, for the Hani people, Longba Gate is very sacred.

There are a series of important ceremonies on the day of Limen.Outsiders are not allowed to enter the village, and a man from each family participates in setting up the gate of the village. These wooden figures are carved by themselves.Women and children are at home and cannot work. They can drop by, but they must be inside.

After setting up the gate, kill a sow and a boar to sacrifice to the gate of the village.If there are no boars and sows, roosters and hens are needed, and male and female ducks must be male and female. This is also derived from their ancestor worship.

After the sacrifice, the whole village will share the meat, and every household must share.Then the Longba Gate has to be refurbished every year, and it is busy again, and the whole village eats. "

"It's fun!"

"That's right! Collective life! Leaving Longbamen means leaving the group and God, and you will not be protected. To get the protection of Longbamen, you must be innocent.

Their innocence, in addition to not stealing or stealing from others, also has some human uncontrollable factors.For example, those who die unexpectedly outside cannot enter the Longba Gate.

If a defective baby or twins are born, the baby will be killed, their home will be burned, and the baby's parents will be kicked out of the dragon gate. "

"Ah! How did this happen? Twins?" The tourist was shocked, "The defect is understandable, although it is cruel, but what happened to the twins?"

He Huan said: "So many tragedies have happened in this gate. Twins not only implicate a family, but if it is Zuima, the owner of the village, twins are born in the family, which will lead to the relocation of the whole village.

It should be due to their concept of the soul. They believe that there is only one soul reincarnated. If two babies are born, they will be considered to be reincarnated by evil spirits and will be executed. "

"How miserable!"

"Yes! In fact, the taboo on twins exists not only in the Hani people, but also in many other ethnic groups all over the world. Because people didn't have such advanced concepts in the past. In that era, the population was small, and twins were rare in a hundred years.

People will use some concepts of gods and ghosts to understand such strange things, which arouses everyone's fear.In the final analysis, the twin taboo is also related to ancestor worship. Some people regard it as a blessing, while others regard it as a curse.

Different branches of Hani have different degrees of twin taboos.But on the whole, the Hani people living in Banna are the most taboo.So talking about twins with them is also taboo. "

"Oh!"

"But the Hani people in Mojiang still have a twins festival!" A tourist said, "I went there to play! It is said that they gave birth to twins because they drank the water from the twin well. Now it has become a scenic spot, and many people also go to drink it."

"Yes." He Huan nodded, "It was built with the investment of the government and tourism companies. The Hani people over there originally had this kind of taboo. It's just that they are lighter, and they usually give away one of them when they give birth to twins.

Moreover, the treatment of Gemini in collective society is also very low.Even if the other has been sent away, the remaining one cannot participate in major group activities.Marriage and funeral etiquette must be inferior. "

"what!"

"The story surrounding the well is a story specially told to tourists. They worship the well because they worship the water god, not because drinking the water from the well can give birth to twins."

"Ah!" The tourists looked at him, other tour guides said that, Xiao Bailong is really different.

Besides, the government and tourism companies are promoting it like this. If you don’t have a deep understanding of the Hani people, you may think it’s true!
The tourist rubbed his forehead, "I saw a lot of people drinking it, so I thought it was real!"

He Huan said with a smile: "However, this is also beneficial. This festival fits the psychology of other ethnic groups who want to have twins, and it also brings benefits to the local people. Twins are also given preferential treatment by the government.

The local Hani people don't regard the twins as freaks, but feel honored.Many years later, maybe they also think that they have no twin taboos, but twin worship. "

Everyone nodded.

He Huan looked at the Longba Gate again, "Although there are two villains who meet each other so frankly, they can't talk about love here, and they can't quarrel here."

"Then where are they talking about love?"

He Huan looked at them, "I know how to talk about love in one day!"

The tourists laughed again.

"Ni people also fall in love in a collective way." He Huan didn't enter the village and walked up the nearby mountain.

Tourists followed him curiously, listening as they walked.

"The village will build a public house for boys and girls. The boys have a boy head, and the girls have a girl head. Then Hani has an October festival, which is their grandest and longest festival, lasting about a week.

It was in October of the lunar calendar, after the autumn harvest, the village was cleaned up, rice was pounded to make cakes, and chickens and pigs were slaughtered.Wear new clothes, worship ancestors, visit relatives.It's like our Spring Festival.

During this period, the boy will meet the girl and set a date for the reunion.Then the young man led the young men to prepare the dishes, and if he didn't know how to do it himself, he invited the chef to come, and prepared wine, meat and meals in the public room, and held a big banquet. "

"Wow!"

He Huan looked at them, "Are you hungry?"

Everyone nodded, "I really want to participate."

"Wipe your drool." He Huan said.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Then at the appointed time, the head of the girl came with the girls. The head of the boy and the head of the girl sat together, and the other boys and the girls sat down one by one. Singing, drinking, chatting, and dancing together when they are happy.

The banquet is over, usually late at night.The boys wrapped vegetables and meat in banana leaves and gave them to the girls to eat on the way.The girls went back to their village with torches.

The general banquet is very pleasant, and an appointment is made for the next meeting.Next time, it will be the boys' turn to go to the girl's village, and the girl will bring the girl to entertain them.They call it string girls. "

"Wow! It feels like a sorority!"

"Yes. After a few times, each village has basically become a couple. Then you can go to pick up girls alone.

Hani people usually build a side room when they build a house, and usually put farm tools.It is next to the big family and independent from the outside.It is very similar to the Flower House of the Mosuo people.

Then the young man can go to the side room to find the girl to play without going in to meet the girl's parents.Except that you can't live together, there are no taboos, just like you are in love. "

Everyone laughed and said, "Now we're dating and living together! Little Bailong, aren't you too pure?"

"That's right! Did you just know now?" He Huan turned to look at them.

"Hahaha……"

He Huan continued: "After dating for a while, it's time to pass the parental barrier.

The guy will ask a matchmaker to go to the girl's house to propose marriage.In order to show the preciousness of the daughter, the girl's parents will make things difficult for the matchmaker.Therefore, the matchmaker must be able to speak and sing thick-skinned.

But generally not more than three times.The so-called things are nothing more than three things. Twice refusal represents the preciousness of the daughter, and three times is really disagreeing with this marriage.The matchmaker will lose. "

"Ah! What then?"

"They can do a lot of things! The boy will make an appointment with the girl. For example, you will go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots the next morning." He Huan turned around holding a thick bamboo.

"Then the guy went back to invite the head of the village, and the next morning he led a group of guys to the girl's village, got into the bamboo forest, snatched the girl, and ran away."

"Ah!" Everyone laughed in surprise.

"The girl is full of joy and joy, but she must cry and shout, ah! Mom and Dad! I've been snatched away! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out outdated do you do it!"

Everyone covered their faces, went up and hugged Xiao Bailong, "I'm here to save you! Miss Long!"

He Huan was taken aback, then smiled sweetly.

Then he continued: "You are so ignorant! That's why you are outsiders! The villagers in this village know what's going on. When they see this situation, they usually smile and don't stop them. Let the boys make way .”

"Hahaha..." Everyone let go of him and made way.

"The parents also heard their daughter calling for help, but they won't come forward. Now that they have reached this point, it means that the two of them have made up their minds. It's useless to stop it. This is exactly when you shout and shout and break your throat, but no one comes to save you. !"

"Hahaha..." The tourists couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then the poor girl cried and cried with joy and was snatched away by her sweetheart."

"It feels so lively!"

"Well." He Huan said, "When we arrive at the boy's house, of course the boy's parents know what the son is going to do, and they have already prepared to appease the girl, don't cry, just stay at my house, and we will treat you well.

The girl stayed at the guy's house for a few days, and all the raw rice was cooked.In the past few days, the girl's parents will not go looking for anyone.Then, the boy's parents came to the girl's parents' house, offering gifts, my son is not sensible, so he just likes your girl..."

"Hahaha……"

"At this time, the girl's parents will no longer object. Not only will they stop making things difficult, but they will also be very polite, saying that my girl is lazy, careless, and extravagant.

In short, it is said that the daughter's shortcomings.It means that the ugly words are at the beginning, I disagree, you insist on marrying my daughter and snatching everyone away, don't dislike her like this or that. "

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, "It's so simple!"

"Yes! Then the two parties will set a date for the wedding."

"Wow!" Everyone yearned, "It's so fun!"

He Huan looked at them with a smile, "Then those of you who are not married can go through this procedure. If you are married, you can go through the procedure again after divorce."

Everyone laughed again.

The twin taboo just now was cured by this strange marriage custom!

"The customs of ethnic minorities are really interesting!"

"Isn't it exactly October in the lunar calendar? Can we join their group dating?"

He Huan looked at them, "Now that the information is so advanced, who still uses this way to fall in love?"

"Pity!"

"That's right! The Internet shortens the distance between strangers, but isolates people around you." Ms. Lan said, "Can you believe that my husband's mistress met through playing games?"

Everyone looked at her in silence.

Ms. Lan paused, then lowered her head, "I'm sorry."
