Chapter 442 The incense in the White Dragon Temple is booming again

Everyone looked out the window, stretched their necks, and their hearts flew out first.

After parking at the entrance of the village, He Huan said, "Master Li will take the luggage to the inn. Let's get off here first."

A group of people rushed out of the car.The cameraman also got out of the car with the camera on his shoulders and chased them hard.

Chen Ying directed the aerial photography team to fly the drone, first to take a picture of the village.

He Huan took down the white dragon flag on the front of the car.

A man ran over, with white teeth grinning on his dark face, and a mouthful of rustic Mandarin: "Welcome Little White Dragon Group! Welcome experts to Shilong Village!"

Duan Ju introduced: "This is Director Dong of the Shilong Village Committee."

After shaking hands with them, Director Dong led the experts into the village, "Our village now has a total of 265 households. Among them, there are 1000 Bai people and four Han people." Director Dong saw that they did not understand, and held out four fingers .

The experts nodded with a smile. This is a real minority village.

Director Dong also smiled, "This flat is about three square kilometers. Our Dong family was the first to come to this place. Our ancestors were busy occupying the land as soon as they came here, using tree branches to form a boundary.

Later, people with other surnames also moved in one after another. The Jiang family used grass ropes to surround the land, and the Zhang and Li families used stones.After surrounding the land, the Zhang family and the Li family secretly set fire to it.

The grass ropes and branches were burned up, and the land boundary between our Dong family and Jiang's family disappeared.The Zhang family and the Li family occupied a large area of ​​land, and their number grew. "

The experts laughed, there is still such a twists and turns.

"But, because we have no communication with the outside world, we all marry in our village. People with the same surname can't be together, so we have to marry people with other surnames.

Because if we say we are going outside to find someone to marry, it means that there is no one in our village. "

A group of people raised their heads and laughed, listening to his strong Mandarin, it was really cute and funny.

Director Dong also laughed, and continued after a while: "And in a village, people who know each other well, just like this, get married to each other, and if it continues, our families are also relatives, so we will become one family."

Everyone nodded.

He Huan said with a smile: "So branches, grass ropes, stones, and fire can all stop marriages!"

"Hahaha……"

"It is precisely because of such a small inner circle that the ancient Bai villages have been formed and the customs of the Bai people have been preserved." He Huan said.

Director Dong nodded and led everyone forward.A temple at the entrance of the village attracted the attention of experts.

Director Dong stopped, "This is our main temple. The Bai people believe in this main temple. Every Bai village has a main temple."

Duan Ju nodded.

He Huan said: "After Buddhism was introduced to Yunzhou, it was combined with the witchcraft believed by ethnic minorities in the process of localization. What they believe in here is the Buddhism after witchcraft. The Bai people call it Azali religion and worship Dahei God.

There are different accounts of the origin of the sect and the gods.The villagers don't care about the origin, they don't care whether the god comes from India or passed down from their ancestors, they just want it to work. "

The experts laughed.

He Huan also said with a smile: "We talked about it in the Three Pagodas, our nation's beliefs are very practical. It doesn't matter where you come from, the key is whether you can do things for everyone."

Duan Ju patted him on the shoulder, "That's right! That's why Xiaobailong can do things, and now Dali people trust him the most! The Temple of General Bailong, which was about to be abandoned, is now flourishing again!"

He Huan was speechless, Liang Ange laughed.

The experts looked at them curiously, but unfortunately they didn't hear it!
He Huan suppressed a smile, "In fact, not everyone wants to be a priest. Because priests have to abide by many precepts and bear many responsibilities.

I hope the gods bless me, but I don't want to break my life.Because as the spokesperson of God, everyone will look for you for everything, and you belong to everyone, and your personal life will be destroyed.

So if you are selected by a wizard or a witch and want you to be the successor, if you don't want to, you can only offer some food and money, which is equivalent to a resignation letter. "

Director Dong nodded, "Yes, there is a woman in our village who was favored by a witch. Let her go. If she doesn't want to go, just do it."

"So, although the spokesperson of the gods and ghosts is respected, not everyone is willing to do it. This is still a hard job." He Huan said.

Everyone nodded.

"In the past, the shamans of Yunzhou's ethnic minorities were often respected, even hereditary, aristocratic. A lot of history and culture were passed down through their mouths. Therefore, they are very respected and they are intellectuals of the nation.

But modern young people are exposed to more and more information and pay more attention to themselves. Wizards are not nobles anymore, and they are not willing to be hereditary.

It is getting harder and harder to find a successor for the spokesperson of the gods and ghosts, and the witchcraft and rituals popular in the Yunzhou area are gradually disappearing.It is better passed down in Shilong Village. "

"Well." Director Dong said, "We usually come to pay homage to our lord. The biggest ceremony is our annual New Year's Eve, where we collectively sing an opera to reward the gods. We thank the lord for his blessings for one year and pray for continued blessings for us in the coming year.

In the twelfth lunar month, a leader will come out to organize.Everyone rehearses, rehearses, and prepares for logistics.

There is a stage in our village. We welcome the gods on the second day of junior high school, send off the gods on the sixth day of junior high school, and sing big plays for several days.

Many young people don't know how to sing, so they invite old people to teach them.In the past, these leading events were organized by some respected old people.

When I was old and didn't have so much energy, the old man asked some young people to do it.For example, our leader this year is a post-[-]s generation. "

"Wow!"

"Then he will find some young people to learn to sing together. In the evening, they will rehearse on the stage, and you can watch it."

"Wow!" The experts were very excited.This ceremony of rewarding the gods cannot change the time for them, but they can see the rehearsal and feel it in advance.

Leaving the main temple, walk along the stone road full of pits and walk to a house on the side of the road.

"This is my home." Director Dong said.

He Huan looked at the inscription on the screen wall: Nanzhao Zaifu.

Director Dong said: "Our ancestor Dong Cheng was the prime minister of Nanzhao Kingdom."

Everyone looked at Director Dong and waited for the next article.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, He Huan went on to say, "Dong Cheng is the prime minister of Nanzhao. He once went to Chengdu on behalf of the Nanzhao Kingdom. The descendants of Dong's surname came to glory as 'Nanzhao Zaifu'."

Director Dong nodded.

"The surname culture of the Bai people is well integrated with the folk houses. So you can basically know the surname of the owner's family through the inscriptions on the screen wall. Of course, there must be some cultural foundation."

Director Dong nodded, "That's right."

"Because the Bai people came into contact with the Han people relatively early, the aristocratic class of the Bai people had Han surnames very early.

Originally, the Bai people, like other ethnic minorities in Yunzhou, did not have a surname, and they also used the joint name of father and son in their own language.

Our calls may be more awkward and more difficult to understand.Then during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom, wanted to include Yunzhou into the scope of the Shu Kingdom, so he gave many surnames in Yunzhou.

For example, Zhang is derived from Long Youna, king of Baizi Kingdom.He himself changed his surname to Zhuge, and he gave Long You such a domineering and cool name as Zhang, a common surname of the Han nationality. "

"Hahaha……"

"This is also for the convenience of communication. More importantly, as a conqueror, bestowing a surname is a manifestation of power. Parents give you a name, and your parents give you a surname. And the one who is given also feels honored. Accepting it means submitting. The family People."

Everyone looked at him with great interest, and the photographer came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at the lens.
