Chapter 978: Sacrifice

When my aunt's family came, the rice has been steamed, and the chickens have been killed, the reason has been understood before, my aunt loves people, and I am afraid that you will be reluctant to eat it if you save it and raise it.

Under the fine operation of the system, there are fewer and fewer tourists in the village, and the day before the day, Ayin finally came up the cliff, and the tourists were all emptied, the cableway and zipline were suspended, and the plank road was closed, leaving only the back mountain path.

The publicity to the outside world is that all kinds of facilities in Miao Village need to be overhauled and inspected, and several projects are rectified, so they are temporarily closed.

In the entire village, except for Miao Wa, a mixed Miao-Han race, there are only two Han people left, Uncle Orion, Li Junge.

Families began to set up altars. The actual beginning of the festival is from the time when the altar is set up to attract the spirits of relatives to enjoy the sacrifice.

Like the ox festival, in addition to sacrificing distant ancestors, it is also necessary to sacrifice relatives who have recently died.

Not to mention Li Junge, a Han baby, even many of the Miao family themselves can't standardize the ceremony, many people come to Grandpa Yu to learn from the experience, and Grandpa Yu and each village patiently teach, but Li Junge has a good time.

Needless to say, distant ancestors, relatives generally have to be sacrificed in the order of father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother.

In other words, if the father is gone, it is a sacrifice to the father. If the father is present and the mother is dead, the mother is sacrificed.

If both parents are there and the grandfather dies, the grandfather is sacrificed. If grandpa is still alive and grandma is dead, sacrifice grandma.

Because of this, the Wuximan branch of Hanging Heaven Village has a parade performance imitating the deceased relatives in the collective festival of the Drum and Tibetan Festival in the back, which is not found anywhere else.

Two elderly people wiped their tears and asked if they could sacrifice their recently deceased son and daughter.

Grandpa Yu sighed, and Haosheng comforted him, saying that there was no problem, firstly, the dead were greatest, and secondly, the sacrifice was to make the living feel at ease.

The orientation of the altar is set towards the place where the sun rises, and in the Hanging Heaven Village, most of them are located next to the central pillar behind the fire hall.

Standing at the door facing the house, the altars of the various families in the Hanging Heaven Village are basically located at the foot of the pillar of the middle pillar of the right wall, facing the direction of the Heavenly Book Cliff.

It just so happens that it faces east, and there is a mausoleum of the ancestors of the swallow cave below. The orientation of the entire stockade and the orientation of the altar are secretly in line with these, and they are all exquisite.

The altar is a dustpan, in which is placed a piece of glutinous rice weighing seven catties, a piece of cooked square pork, a bowl of chopped cooked pork, each family is accustomed to taking the singular, and three to five bowls of rice wine, three to five small dried fish, and a bowl of rice are placed.

The dried fish appeared in the last cattle beating festival, and Li Junge didn't notice its special at that time.

Only then did I find out that this was not the crucian carp or carp in the Miao family's field, and the villagers did not know what to call it in Chinese, but only said that this was a small fish in the mountain stream, and the Miao language was called "Nai Xiong Nai Li".

Then he also told Li Junge that this fish will be used in many places, because the fish symbolizes many children and the family reproduces quickly.

As with the Ox Sacrifice, a pair of horns are inserted diagonally into the glutinous rice, the tip of the horn is inserted into the glutinous rice, and the end of the horn is leaning against the wall.

The horns of the cow are male and female, that is, one is the horn of a cow and the other is the horn of a bull, and the horn of the bull is carved with a pattern.

The female horn is filled with sweet wine, and the male horn is filled with rice wine.

Next to the dustpan is a small bench, on which is placed a basket with a set of clothes, from which you can tell whether the relatives to be sacrificed are male or female.

In addition, there is also a saber next to the dustpan, the saber is straight, almost one meter long, the red rope is wrapped around the handle, and there is a large ring at the bottom, Li Junge is estimated to be the shape of the Han Dynasty sword, but it is not certain, because the Han knife seems to be longer.

There are two dustpans on the altar of Ayin's house, which means that two water oxen will be slaughtered for the two deceased relatives at the same time, Ayin's grandmother and ancestor Hanging Harrier.

In addition to the sightings of cows, rice, pigs, and fish, there is also a frequent animal tracking, chickens.

In front of the doors of each household, there is an extra bamboo pole of nearly ten meters in the field of Lao Nan, and a "flag" has been provoked, which is the drum and hidden flag of each family, which is actually the soul flag.

The drum and Tibetan flags erected by the family are also made of wax-dyed cloth, eight meters long, fifty centimeters wide, the top is full of chicken feathers, and there are many totems dyed and painted on it, which are roughly the same as the few village flags sent by the villages.

According to the old man's explanation, bamboo symbolizes more hair and fast hair, and the family is prosperous; chicken feathers symbolize the yearning for light, as well as diligence and early rising; and the totem does not need to be explained.

There are fish, snakes, dragons, butterflies, and figures on the drum and Tibetan flags, in short, as long as it is a pattern related to the life of the Miao people, it is more or less reflected on it, and it is a sacred object used to summon the soul of the ancestors.

This also shows that the Miao people are a typical totem worship nation, and totems are omnipresent and omnipotent in the life of the Miao people.

Four hundred and three households, one family, plus a few sent by each village, the entire village blue and white drums and Tibetan flags are waving in the wind, if Xiao Zhun comes here, he will definitely exclaim that there is no such shot in the "Shu Mountain" demon camp, which is definitely a huge pity.

That night, Ayin's uncle brought out three big lion-headed boars of more than 200 catties sent by Li Junge and prepared them for the priest.

Grandpa Yu was a priest himself, but this time, as the head of the drum hide, he could not preside over the sacrifice himself, but went to invite the priests of other villages to invite his ancestors to the altar of his house to receive sacrifices.

The priest is called "Gouheng", four hundred households, one or two people are not enough, so each village will come to this one, generally three or five families invite a priest, and now they are all gathered in the open dam.

Grandpa Yu began to wrap three small dried fish around the priests' heads with hemp rope, and Li Junge felt like an authorization ceremony.

Then the high priest sat upright in the hall, holding a large saber in his hand, and began to sing the words in slow motion.

In fact, this sacrificial song is also a kind of ancient song, which is sung from the beginning of the world and the origin of mankind, and continues to be sung until how the ancestors migrated here, how hard they worked, and so on.

Li Junge felt that this was somewhat similar to inviting the gods to the upper body, and the priest turned into a god at this time, teaching and blessing Grandpa Yu's family.

Finally, when the souls of relatives are lured, they have to beat the drum, and a mighty rooster is placed on top of the drum.

The big rooster is very strange, under the operation of the priest, it seems to have fallen into a semi-comatose state, no matter how the drum is beaten, it is quietly squatting on the drum and motionless, Li Junge feels that if Mr. Zhang sees this scene, he will definitely be inspired to shoot the last issue of "Approaching Science".

The two uncles carried the black pig up, and the priest began to chop it into large pieces of almost the same size, and then strung them into four hundred and three strings, and distributed them to the representatives of the families who came to watch the ceremony.

Every time a family receives a skewer of meat, it is equivalent to receiving an official notice, and the drum festival has truly entered the official stage.

After dividing the skewers of meat, the priests of each village can go separately to recruit the spirits of their relatives for each family.

Tonight, the spirits of all their loved ones descend on the village.

It is also from today that there are many taboos in the village.

According to the old man's explanation in advance, from this day on, he can only eat meat, blood and tofu every day, and cannot eat vegetables.

Speaking of hidden words also began on this day.

Eating is no longer about "eating", but about "grazing" or "feeding the cows".

Drinking no longer says "drinking", but "drinking water".

When asked if someone has eaten, the answer is "have you fed the cow?" and the answer is naturally "fed" or "not fed yet".

According to Uncle Ah Chong's explanation, this is because from now on, only gods and ancestors are eligible to eat "rice".

As for why this "rice" is all meat, it is because the Miao family was poor in their old age and had no meat to eat all year round, and now they want to invite their deceased relatives to eat and drink together.

The old man laughed and said that Uncle Ah Chong was talking nonsense, and the real reason was that in the Miao language, the vegetable dish is called "wrapping", which is homophonic with the Miao language "discord".

Therefore, when the Miao people receive guests who come home for the first time, they have the custom of not being allowed to eat vegetables, for fear that there will be contradictions after eating, and you will not be used to me, I will not be used to you.

It is also taboo to say "wrap", if the guest accidentally says it, the host will be unhappy.

The old man also found a kind of grass, saying that it could play a targeted role in desolation.

Once a guest breaks the taboo, the housewife may secretly break the grass and put it in the pot while others are not paying attention, which can also avoid the occurrence of discord.

And because tofu is not a vegetable, it is not contraindicated.

Li Junge felt that it was obvious that the old man's explanation was more reasonable, and it had the taste of a long-standing custom.

The most tested thing is the drum hiding head, from today onwards, he can't sleep.

Li Junge is determined to use the spiritual spring water to help his grandfather cheat and survive.

The festival is a grand festival, and the guests are still arriving in batches, day by day, and today it finally reached its peak.

Each guest dressed in his most beautiful clothes, carrying all kinds of gifts, came into the village in groups and groups.

In this grand festival, there are no guests who enter the village empty-handed, regardless of men and women, old and young, all carry all kinds of gifts on their backs.

The arrival of each group of guests is accompanied by a long series of deafening firecrackers.

Among the gifts sent by the guests, they are usually chickens, ducks, piglets, and millet with straw, which is called "he".

There are also various household items, such as cloth and headdresses.

At this time, the old man didn't know where to turn out the six puppies, and handed them to Grandpa Yu with a painful face, which was the offspring bred by Bai Da in Xiashi Town.

Four just said that they would be given to Grandpa Yu, and the other two were gifts.

In the words of the old man, they are all first-class and five short, and the kind that sends a top person is trembling.

When a guest gives a gift, the host will definitely register it and return the gift according to the number of gifts. If you send more, you will pay more, and if you send less, you will naturally return less.

There are many kinds of things to be given, but the gifts are usually pork and beef.

Therefore, in addition to slaughtering one or two buffaloes, each family generally slaughters several fat pigs, so that it is enough for guests to eat and return the courtesy.

However, there is Li Junge, the son-in-law of a local tyrant, and there are pigs, just kill them and pull them up.

On the day of the family festival after eating skewers of meat, it is the 14th, and there is a major event today, called "Drum Tibetan Reed Sheng".

There are many ways to jump the reed sheng of the Miao people, all of which are chosen according to different occasions.

The drum Tibetan asparagus that danced on this day was a small reed sheng, and it jumped on the open dam outside Ayin's house.

In the middle of the open dam is the drum and Tibetan flag of the village, and the drum and Tibetan reed sheng team dances in a circle around this drum and Tibetan flag.
