Chapter 77: The Disappearing Traditional Culture

Uncle Jianye came this time, mainly to invite Yun Shu back to Changbai Village to establish the "Sauron Divine Pole".

"Sauron?"

Yun Shu was a serious Han in his last life, and his ancestors had never heard of a marriage with an ethnic minority.

For her, there are many festivals in a year, from the Spring Festival to Chinese New Year's Eve, there are seven or eight together, but in addition to everyone eating and drinking, the countryside also has to go to the grave to worship the ancestors, there are really no special activities.

But in this life, she not only became a Manchu Gege, but also an existence that inherited the "throne" and "priesthood", so that Yun Shu had to be clear about many ancient customs of the Manchus, and even needed to participate in person.

For example, at this time, Uncle Jianye put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, even if he was reluctant to give up the fragrant dumplings filled with sauerkraut oil residue, he had to correct his posture before he could say the "pole" of the export.

The Manchu people's "sacrifice to the Sauron Divine Pole" was originally to commemorate Nurhachi, with a strong mythological color.

Later, with the integration of Han culture, the Manchu people also added new content when "sacrificing the Sauron Divine Pole": sacrificing ancestors, admonishing descendants, celebrating the harvest of five grains and predicting a good year.

The so-called Sauron Divine Pole is a pine pole with a clamping stone at the bottom of the seat and a tin bucket placed at the top of the pole.

The tin bucket should be planted with other flags, and pigs and grains should be placed in the bucket, so that magpies, crows and other birds can eat, which is called divine enjoyment.

And Shenxiang was quickly eaten up, which was considered a sign of good luck.

Lanterns or ice lanterns are also hung on the "Sauron pole", and incense is burned on time to worship ancestors.

The Sauron pole is erected on the 23rd day of the lunar month every year, and on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the tribesmen hold a grand sacrificial activity, and it is lifted on the second day of the second month when the dragon raises its head.

Tong Jianye used as concise language as possible to let Yun Shu quickly understand the customs of the Manchu people to establish the Sauron Divine Pole.

But Yun Shu recalled the Manchu customs she came into contact with in later generations, and it seemed that there was no such thing as "standing a pole".

"There are many Manchu families in Qingxi Village and even in Siwaibazhuang, why have I never heard of this custom?"

When Tong Jianye heard this, the light in his eyes was a little dim, "Because when sacrificing the Sauron Divine Pole, a shaman is required to serve as the chief priest, and the shaman dance is required to communicate with heaven and earth."

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these are feudal superstitions, and now there are very few real shamans, not to mention big shamans, even small shamans, more than ten years ago, there were not many Manchu people who did this custom. And the reason why our Changbai Village retains this custom is more important to worship the holy mountain, and then the ancestors. ”

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on his face, "But since Alin Mafa died, our Changbai Village has not done it for five or six years. ”

Then Tong Jianye looked at Yun Shu, his eyes shining brightly, "But this year is different." Your name has been written on the family tree, although you said that you don't want to take over the throne yet, but as the only heir of the Jin family, you were born as the patriarch, and you are the great shaman who guards the holy mountain. ”

Yun Shu looked at the more he talked, the more convinced he became, and even with a little fanatical Uncle Jianye, he only felt that the saying "feudal superstition kills people" was still right to a certain extent.

Do you need to be so exaggerated?

Besides, wouldn't the earth be spinning without me?

"Uncle Jianye, you stop first, I can do this next, but the big shaman will, like what kind of shaman dance I don't know at all." ”

Tong Jianye listened to Yun Shu's meaning, that is, he agreed, and as for what she said, it was not a problem.

"You are the chosen psychic of the Holy Mountain, you don't need to learn anything, when the time comes, the mountain god will tell you what to do. ”

Yun Shu couldn't help but shudder, why did he sound so panicked.

"Uncle, you're in a new society, don't you scare me?"

Although her own origin belongs to "feudal superstition", can she not feel whether there is a mountain god in this Changbai Mountain?

The god of the mountain will tell her what to do?

Tong Jianye didn't believe it very much, but after listening to some things his grandfather said, he was now muttering in his head.

"I've studied science, too, but there are some things I can't help but think about. For example, the Hai Dongqing I gave you last time.

In our Manchu myths and legends, the shaman is the embodiment of the divine eagle and the god of communication.

And the day after your grandfather went back and wrote your name into the family tree with the other clan elders, the clansmen on the other side of the Songhua River sent a Haidongqing, or a pure black superlative condor that had not appeared for a hundred and eighty years. If you say it's a coincidence, that's a coincidence. ”

Uncle Jianye didn't think much about it before, but after he went back, he talked to his grandfather about Yun Shu's 'intuition' (Chapter 38), and his grandfather patted his thigh and said that this was the arrangement of the gods.

And the more Tong Jianye thought about it, the more he felt that in the dark, there was a destiny.

And Yun Shu didn't know that he had committed the second illness that day, and then fooled Uncle Jianye about it, because of the extraordinaryness of Jin Alin's ancestor, he was mythologized by the grandson of the Tong family.

At this time, she was a little frightened, afraid that Uncle Jianye would suddenly ask about the precious Hai Dongqing.

Yun Shu, who was weak-hearted, naturally promised to follow him to Changbai Village, and he would leave immediately.

And this thing really aroused her curiosity, the so-called art masters are bold, this guy relies on the red lotus karma fire and space, and decided to try it.

After all, Changbai Mountain is too mysterious, and even in later generations, it has not been able to completely solve the mystery in this mountain range.

Moreover, her fate is in this mountain range!

But looking at and listening to what she said to Uncle Jianye, and feeling in the clouds and looking confused, Da Zhuang, and Xiao Zhuang in his arms, Yun Shu knew that there were some things that should always come.

Yun Shu patted Da Zhuang's head, "If you want to know anything and what you are wondering about, my sister will tell you in the future, but now, you have to go to your grandfather with Uncle Jianye and tell him that we will follow Uncle Jianye to live at my grandmother's house for two days." ”

Da Zhuang's anxious and anxious heart suddenly calmed down at this moment, and he looked at his sister's firm and gentle eyes, and nodded vigorously.

And Tong Jianye also saw such Yun Shu, and at this moment, his somewhat impetuous heart also became indifferent.

It's no wonder that grandpa hasn't been bothered to take care of him recently, compared to Yun Shu, his age is like living to a dog, it's too calm.

Although it is a bit funny inside, to outsiders, Tong Jianye is quite good.

This is almost the New Year's Festival, although it is not a New Year's greeting, but Wang Dazhi is also an elder in the end, so Tong Jianye carried a bottle of wine and a bag of snacks.

And when Uncle Jianye and Da Zhuang went out, Yun Shu hurriedly packed up his things.

Now that the weather is too cold, he shouldn't have taken Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang with him, but looking at his anxious younger brother, Yun Shu was afraid that he would be cranky and scared out of illness during the New Year, so he simply took them all.

So the quilts and leather mattresses at home were all turned out by Yun Shu, as well as the fox fur Da Zhuang that Da Zhuang wore when he was preparing for the New Year, and the small cloak that Yun Shu made for Xiao Zhuang with the lynx skin at the bottom of her mother's pressure box.

If this can still freeze, then she can only go up the mountain to hunt mink another day.
