The flood is terrible (Miao)

In ancient times, there were two old people who raised two sons and a daughter. Not long after, two old people died one after another, leaving three children. Two sons often get angry with the sky. When it was cold and raining heavily, they said it was too hot, so they fanned it up the hill. When the weather is very hot, they will go to the river to burn a big fire. After seven years of dry weather, the grass roots were all finished. It was frozen for seven years, all the cattle, horses and livestock were killed, and then the flood flooded the whole land. Big brother and second brother made two drums, ready to let them float on them. The boss made an iron bucket that was only enough for one person to sit on, and the second made a big wooden bucket. He asked his sister to sit inside with him.

The flood rose higher and higher, and soon the boss's drum disappeared. The wooden drum on which the second child and sister sat rose higher and higher with the water level, and it rose to the sky, making a sound of winter and winter. God heard the noise and sent heavenly soldiers to see it, only then did he know that the flood had reached the sky. So the mountain soldiers were ordered to arch the dragon pig on the ground, and many big ditches and holes were arched to let the water leak away. The wooden drums of the second child and sister also fell to the ground. Everyone on the ground died, leaving only their brother and sister.

In this case, the second child said to his sister: tease her sister, everyone on the ground is dead. It seems that only the two of us are married. Di Jie said: it is ok to get married, but I am afraid that heaven and earth will not allow it. The second child said, Doby, God will agree. There is no one in the sun. What can we do? Di Jie said, in this case, let's try this mill. You roll down the opposite mountain with the top piece on your back. I rolled down this mountain with my lower body on my back. Grind your heart and your eyes, and you get married. The top block on my brother's back rolled down from the opposite mountain, and the bottom block on my sister's back rolled down from this mountain. As a result, the grinding heart was just inserted in the eye. My sister was still worried, and said to her brother, tease me to throw a needle from here, and you throw it from there with a thread. If the thread goes through the eye of a needle, you can get married. Slowly, one of them took the needle and the other took the thread, and each of them threw it from one side. When they looked for it, the thread was put on the eye of a needle and they got married.

After the two brothers and sisters got married, they gave birth to three sons in three years, and neither of them could speak. They really want to know what to do. One night, my sister met a god in her sleep, and she told him about it. God told him that you two should collect more firewood to burn a big stone, so that it can burn very hot, so you can bring three dolls from big to small to burn his * * *, depending on the reason.

The next day, my sister told her brother her dream, and the two of them followed suit. After ironing a big stone, they first ironed it. As soon as * * * fell on the stone, they shouted, "Oh, my God!" Brother and sister didn't know it was Miao until they heard the shouts. Then he ironed the clothes with the second one. * * * As soon as he fell on the stone, he shouted and teased the ground. Brother and sister heard the shouts and knew it was Yi people. Finally, the brother and sister hugged the third child and shouted "Ouch" to know that this is the Han nationality. In the fourth year, they gave birth to something unlike human beings, with no feet and no head. That's a meatball. It will roll back and forth on the ground. One night, my sister saw immortals in a dream and taught them how to do it. Early the next morning, the second child found a big knife to grind on the grindstone. The broadsword was very sharp, so he chopped the big meat ball into a thin cauldron, and two people took it and scattered it all over the mountain. The surname Tao who fell on the peach tree, the surname Li who fell on the plum tree, the surname what fell on something, and the last surname Wang. Two days later, where they were scattered, there were people everywhere, houses everywhere, and they were all making fires and cooking.

Since then, the number has slowly developed.

What are the Miao myths?

Water is overwhelming (Miao)

In ancient times, there were two old people who raised two sons and a daughter. Not long after, two old people died one after another, leaving three children. Two sons often get angry with the sky. When it was cold and raining heavily, they said it was too hot, so they fanned it up the hill. When the weather is very hot, they will go to the river to burn a big fire.

He asked his sister to sit inside with him.

The flood rose higher and higher, and soon the boss's drum disappeared. The wooden drum on which the second child and sister sat rose higher and higher with the water level, and it rose to the sky, making a sound of winter and winter. God heard the noise and sent heavenly soldiers to see it, only then did he know that the flood had reached the sky. So the mountain soldiers were ordered to arch the dragon pig on the ground, and many big ditches and holes were arched to let the water leak away. The wooden drums of the second child and sister also fell to the ground. Everyone on the ground died, leaving only their brother and sister.

In this case, the second child said to his sister, "Sister, everyone on the ground is dead. It seems that only we are married. " My sister said, "It's okay to get married, but I'm afraid heaven and earth won't allow it." The second child said, "God will agree. There is no one in the sun. What can we do? " My sister said, "In this case, let's try this mill. You roll down the opposite mountain with the top piece on your back. I rolled down this mountain with my lower body on my back. If you grind your heart and grind your eyes, you will get married.

If the thread goes through the eye of a needle, you can get married. " One of them took the needle, the other took the thread, and each of them threw it from one side. When they were looking for it, sure enough, the thread went through the eye of a needle and they got married.

After the two brothers and sisters got married, they gave birth to three sons in three years, and neither of them could speak. They really want to know what to do.

Brother and sister heard the shouts and knew it was Yi people. Finally, I hugged the third one and shouted "Ouch", and my brother and sister realized that this was Han nationality.

In the fourth year, they gave birth to something unlike human beings, with no feet and no head. That's a meatball. It will roll back and forth on the ground. One night, my sister saw immortals in a dream and taught them how to do it. Early the next morning, the second child found a big knife to grind on the grindstone. The broadsword was very sharp, so he chopped the big meat ball into a thin cauldron, and two people took it and scattered it all over the mountain. The surname Tao who fell on the peach tree, the surname Li who fell on the plum tree, the surname what fell on something, and the last surname Wang. Two days later, where they were scattered, there were people everywhere, houses everywhere, and they were all making fires and cooking.

Since then, the number has slowly developed.

Edit this paragraph [country profile]

According to historical records, after the Chiyou tribe, Chiyou, to which Yandi belonged, unified the Yellow Emperor and went south, and entered Baiyue to live in today's Hunan, Guangxi and Yunnan areas.

Miao nationality, according to the census in 2000, the total population of Miao nationality was 8940 1 16, mainly distributed in Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Hubei, Hainan, Guangxi and other provinces (regions). Miaoling Mountain and Wuling Mountain, where Miao people live together, have mild climate, and are surrounded by mountains and waters, with large and small dams scattered all over the place. Mainly produces rice, corn, millet, wheat, cotton, flue-cured tobacco, rape, tung oil and so on. In addition, it is rich in timber resources and mineral resources. The ancestors of Miao people can be traced back to the Chiyou tribe, which was active in the Central Plains in primitive society. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Miao ancestors began to establish "Three Miao Countries" in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and engaged in agricultural rice cultivation. Miao people have migrated many times in history, and the general route is from the Yellow River valley to Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan. Miao nationality has its own language, belonging to the Miao branch of Miao Yao language family of Sino-Tibetan language family. Originally, there were no national characters, but Latin pinyin characters were created in the late 1950s. Nowadays, most people use Chinese. Miao people have a long history of music and dance, and Lusheng dance, which is deeply loved by the masses, is highly skilled. Miao people's arts and crafts, such as flower picking, embroidery, brocade, batik and jewelry making, are colorful and enjoy a high reputation in the world. Miao people have many festivals, such as Miao Year, April 8th, Dragon Boat Festival.

Miao people are used to calling themselves Mu, Meng, Mo and Mao, and some areas call themselves Gan 'ao, Guo Xiong, Lao Dai and Guinea Bissau. He called them "long skirt seedlings", "short skirt seedlings", "red seedlings", "white seedlings", "green seedlings" and "flower seedlings". After the founding of New China, it was collectively called Miao nationality.

Miao nationality has a long history. In China's ancient books, there are records of Miao ancestors more than 5,000 years ago. This is the clan and tribe called "Nan Man" from the Yellow River valley to the south of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Miao people have no written language, and Miao language belongs to the Miao branch of Miao Yao language family of Sino-Tibetan language family. Miao people live on high mountains, mainly in agriculture, and the crops are upland rice. Bags, buckwheat seeds, potatoes, beans, and cash crops are hemp, which are generally grown and spun by themselves. Miao people are rich in folk oral literature, such as ancient songs, poems and love songs. Miao people are also good at dancing, and Lusheng dance is the most popular.

Miao nationality has its own language, which is divided into three dialects: Xiangxi, Qiandong and Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. After 1956, the Latin alphabet writing scheme was designed. Due to the long-term contact between Miao and Han, a large number of Miao people are fluent in and use Chinese.

Agriculture is dominant in Miao areas, supplemented by hunting. Miao people's arts and crafts such as flower picking, embroidery, brocade, batik, paper cutting and jewelry making are magnificent and colorful, and they are well-known at home and abroad. Among them, the batik process of Miao nationality has a history of thousands of years. There are more than 130 kinds of Miao costumes, which can be compared with the costumes of any nation in the world. Miao nationality is a nation that can sing and dance well, especially love songs and wine songs. Lusheng is the most representative musical instrument of Miao nationality.

Edit this passage [religious custom]

Miao people used to believe in animism, worship nature and worship their ancestors. Drum Music Festival is the biggest ritual activity of Miao nationality. Generally, a small sacrifice lasts for seven years and a big sacrifice lasts for thirteen years. It is held on the second day of October to November in the lunar calendar. At that time, a roe deer will be killed and a Lusheng dance will be performed to commemorate the ancestors. Invite friends and relatives to get together during meals to enhance feelings and family harmony.

The main beliefs of Miao nationality are primitive religious forms such as nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship. Traditional Miao society is superstitious about ghosts and gods, and witchcraft prevails. Some Miao people also believe in Christianity and Catholicism. Few Miao people believe in Buddhism and Taoism.

Traditionally, Miao people often regard some giant or strange natural objects as spiritual manifestations, so they worship them and offer sacrifices to them. Among them, the typical objects of nature worship are boulders (strange rocks), caves, trees and mountains. In addition, Miao people think that some natural phenomena or objects are gods or ghosts, and Miao language often does not distinguish between ghosts and gods, or uses both words. In most cases, ghosts are regarded as abandoned or wronged souls and tools, which often bring disasters, diseases, plagues or other misfortunes to mankind. For example, the so-called oriental ghosts, western ghosts, sow ghosts, cannibals and tiger ghosts are called evil ghosts. Natural phenomena with spirituality are often regarded as good ghosts and have certain divinity, such as mountain gods, valley gods, cotton gods, wind gods, Raytheon, rain gods, sun gods and moon gods. Miao people worship good ghosts and evil ghosts in different ways. Good ghosts are greeted by courtesy and sacrificed sincerely. Evil spirits must be bribed and cajoled until they are driven away.

In many areas, Miao people also believe that there are many monsters in nature. For example, cows put shit on their bodies or spin around in the stables, step on the shit in a circle, pigs eat piglets or lie in the trough, ducks eat duck eggs, tigers enter the arena, meet two snakes, and hens crow cocks.

In some Miao areas, artificial objects worship land bodhisattvas, land milk, family gods, sacrificial bridges, wells and so on. The Miao language of the Land Goddess and Bodhisattva is called Land Ghost, which is generally composed of several stones. Land houses are mostly made of wood or three stone slabs, which are extremely simple and located at the intersection next to the village or the pedestrian rest place on the roadside. The belief in family gods exists in some Miao people in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan dialects, that is, setting up "family gods" idols at home. Sacrificial bridge is popular in most areas of southeastern Guizhou. Dragon is also the object of worship and sacrifice by Miao people everywhere.

Totem worship. Many Miao and Yao people in the east worship Pan Hu (a kind of god dog). They have been told the story of "Goddess, Mother, Dog Dad" for generations, and regarded Pan Hu as their ancestor. Some Miao people in the central region think that their ancestor Jiang Yang originated from the heart of maple, so they regard maple as a totem. In other areas, the Miao people worship buffalo and bamboo as totem objects.

Generally speaking, ancestor worship plays a very important role in Miao society. They believe that although their ancestors died, their souls will always be with their children and grandchildren, and they will be worshipped with wine and meat on festivals, even in their daily diet. In many areas, ancestor worship ceremonies are held regularly or irregularly. There are "beating pig sticks" and "beating cattle to worship ancestors" in western Hunan, "eating shit" in southeastern Guizhou, "knocking Balang" in central Guizhou, and the custom of beating old cattle in northwestern Guizhou and northeastern Yunnan. Among them, the phenomenon of eating dirty meat is still prevalent in Qiandongnan Prefecture, which is the most typical. Eating dirty is also called drum festival, drum club festival and drum storage festival, which is held every seven or thirteen years with the clan (drum club) as the unit. They believe that the ancestors' souls live in wooden drums, and the sacrificial drum is to tap the wooden drum to summon the ancestors' souls to enjoy the sacrifices of future generations. Priests are called dirty heads, and the sacrificed dirty cows are specially raised for this purpose. Each sacrificial activity lasts for three years.

Most Miao people believe in witchcraft. The main witchcraft activities are yin-crossing, divination, divine judgment and offering sacrifices to ghosts. In addition to magic. Witchcraft activities are presided over by wizards. Wizards are mostly unprofessional. They play the role of hosts in the above-mentioned primary worship and witchcraft activities, and some local wizards also serve as village elders. In addition to being familiar with the ways of offering sacrifices, wizards can mostly tell the genealogy of their clan, major historical events of their nation and the route of migration sources, and are familiar with all kinds of myths and legends, ancient songs and folk stories. Some wizards also have the functions of singers and dancers. Therefore, wizards are important inheritors of Miao traditional culture and play the role of intellectuals in Miao society. In addition, wizards also have certain medical skills and know some herbs. While exorcising ghosts, it is supplemented by scientific medical means.

In addition to these traditional beliefs, in modern times, as western missionaries went deep into China to preach, some Miao people in Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan Border Region, Kaili, Guizhou, Yuanling, Hunan and other places converted to Christianity, and a few Miao people in southeastern Yunnan believed in Catholicism. Especially in northeast Yunnan and northwest Guizhou, Christian belief once had a strong momentum and great influence. Foreign missions or missionaries have set up many primary and secondary schools and medical institutions in Miao areas, and even implemented some economic development projects, which have played an indelible role in the social progress and political status of Miao people. The famous priests are Dang, Baglai, Zhang Daohui and Wang Shude of Anshun, all of whom died in Miao areas.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the influence of Christianity and Catholicism once declined, but in recent years, it has a certain recovery trend. However, Christianity and Catholicism now practice the "three self", which is different from the Christian belief before 1950 in social organization, social influence and even belief content.

Miao people abroad, a few Miao people in Vietnam and Laos believe in Catholicism. Miao people in the United States, France and other western countries also believe in Christianity and Catholicism. Miao people in Laos and Thailand are also influenced by Buddhist culture. Nevertheless, in their society, the traditional ancestor worship and soul concept are still largely preserved.

Edit this paragraph [national calendar]

Miao nationality is one of the oldest ethnic groups in China and one of the earliest settled ethnic groups in China.

In ancient times, Miao culture and technology were very developed, which can be seen from the recent excavation of Miao ancient calendar. The ancient calendar of Miao nationality enriches the calendar system of China and the world.

According to the research of Professor Chen, a famous astronomer in China, Miao people have an ancient calendar. So far, no one else can calculate and compile the ancient calendar of Miao nationality, so the author wants to give it a try.

According to the author's research, the ancient calendar system of Miao nationality in China belongs to the yin-yang calendar, with the solar calendar as the main one.

In the ancient calendar of Miao nationality, the time, day, month and year are recorded by the zodiac, with 365.25 days for one year, 365 days for solar calendar and 366 days for leap year.

Each year is divided into moving month, partial month, 1 month, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September and 1 month, of which five months (1,March, May, July and September) are long days. Seven months, such as shifting the moon, partial moon, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, are short days in a month, and the 30th day of each month.

Taking "winter solstice" as the beginning of a year is the beginning of a year, the beginning of a festival, and the beginning of a spirit, which belongs to the "Zi Zhengren system" in China calendar.

One year old is divided into two festivals: winter solstice (Yang Dan) and summer solstice (Silver Egg). The day before winter solstice is the Miao calendar New Year.

One year old is divided into three seasons: cold season, warm season and hot season, which are divided into the first half and the second half. Every half year has two months of cold season, warm season and hot season, and four months of cold season, warm season and hot season.

From "cold to hot" in the first half of the year, from "hot to cold" in the second half of the year, year after year. 4 years old, 1 leap, the added value is 1 day, leap is in the moving month, that is, at the beginning of the year, leap month 3 1 day.

The last day of Miao calendar 10 is New Year's Eve (the day before the "winter solstice").

The first equinox, ugly day and cloudy day of the moving moon are Tiannian Festival, Dinian Festival and Rennian Festival respectively. Therefore, Miao people have the habit of "not going out at the beginning of the year".

Miao calendar not only records the time, day and month with the zodiac, but also records the time, day, month and year for the elderly with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and natural numbers: "Happy birthday to 120.

The origin of the zodiac is related to the twelve clans in ancient China. Time, day, month and year are recorded by the zodiac, with a year divided into 12 months and a day divided into 12 hours. The year, month, day and hour are fixed, and one day is recorded by the zodiac, which can be recycled. The organizational system starts from "building" and is fixed for recycling.

Twenty-seven nights are related to the nine hexagrams of Miao nationality.

Miao ancestors also recorded the time, day, month, year, the corresponding location of the house they lived in and the zodiac, and divided a day into four stages: night, morning, day and faint, which matched the zodiac and were recorded as "door, hall, left room, back room, right room and roof" to observe the sunrise and sunset. The lunar calendar from the full moon to the next full moon is 1 month, with 27 nights in each month. The lunar calendar has an average of 358 days and a leap of 387 days. The moving moon and the partial moon are short days in a month; 1-10 is a long month. The long day of a month is 30th, the short day of a month is 29th, and the leap month is 29th. Regardless of the solar calendar or the lunar calendar, the Miao ancient calendar applies for leap at the age of 20, and at the age of 20, it moves to the moon every four years. The ancient calendar of the Miao nationality embodies the concept of the Miao nationality's generative philosophy and the three-dimensional thinking concept of "nine hexagrams" (that is, front and back, left and right, up and down, inside and outside, middle or east, south, west, north, middle, southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast).

Miao ancestors worshipped "the sun, the moon and the stars" and regarded the three lights as purity.

Miao ancestors believed that the original biomass of all things in the universe was thunder, dragon and kui (literally translated as water, fire and gas), which was recorded as "three specialties"; The five elements are light, air, water, earth and stone in turn. Dayao (also known as Mr. Guigu) surrendered to the Yellow Emperor (claiming to be the son of heaven), and after his eldest sister Leizu (Leizu) married the Yellow Emperor, Dayao changed nine hexagrams into eight diagrams (called Fuxi eight diagrams in Chinese, which is wrong), changed one to three (yang, yin, non-yang, non-yin) and changed his three-dimensional thinking into two (yang, yin), and combined ten branches with the twelve zodiac signs to create heavenly stems. Change 27 nights to 28 nights. Change the five elements into gold, water, wood, fire and earth (west, north, east, south and middle) according to the plane orientation and the things produced, and create a seven-year calendar with gold, water, wood, fire, Saturn, sun and moon. The Seven Obsidian Calendars is the earliest existing almanac in China.

The ancient calendar of Miao nationality in China belongs to the same solar calendar as that of ancient Egypt, but it is more than 3800 years earlier than the Egyptian calendar 6200 years ago, with a leap of 365 days every year. The difference is that the additional days of leap year in ancient Egypt are 6 days, and the added value of leap year in ancient Miao nationality is 1 day. The ancient calendar of Miao nationality is consistent with the tropic year of the sun, with a period of 1460 years, with high accuracy.

The ancient calendar of the Miao nationality in China has a great guiding effect on the agricultural production (mainly rice production) of the ancient Miao nationality, and is also used by the people to choose auspicious days. (For details, please refer to Shi Qigui's "Xiangxi Miao Field Investigation Report").

The use of the ancient calendar of Miao nationality in China can be traced back at least 10,000 years ago, and the lower limit is thirty-three years of Guangxu (namely 1907). "Eternal Zhili" records: "Father and son handed down from generation to generation, with a mouse and a Niu Yi horse to record the years and months, which coincides with the almanac." (Qing? Write Yang Ruizhen, Tongzhi seven-year engraving) Qing? Written by Dong Hongxun, the printed version of Guzhang Pingtang in Guangxu thirty-three years also has the same record. According to the original memorials and confessions of Miao leaders arrested in Qianlong's sixty years in Beijing Museum, as well as the historical records or local chronicles compiled by those who participated in the suppression of the uprising in that year, it is agreed that the date of the uprisings in Fenghuang, Ganzhou, Yongsui and Songtao is the sixth day of February in Qianlong's sixty years. According to Wu Tianban's explanation in Confession, this day is the first day of the first month of the Miao Year (Miao calendar lunar calendar), and the day of the uprising is set as this day to take away the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Later, due to leaks, the uprising took place on the eighteenth day of the first month (the lunar calendar). This is a major historical event related to the ancient calendar of Miao people recorded in historical books.

The ancient calendar of the Miao people in China is similar to the "Future Calendar Scheme" published by the United Nations (see Information Card 1988 No.2 "Future Calendar", sponsored by Xinhua News Agency Inner Mongolia Branch). Compared with the current Gregorian calendar and the Chinese calendar, the Miao ancient calendar has a single number of days per month, and the leap method is simple and easy to master and use.

The ancient calendar system of Miao nationality in China shows that the zodiac, the seven-year calendar and the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth nights all originated in China, and were later introduced to Babylonia, India and other countries. This shows that the ancient calendar of Miao nationality in China is the mother of China calendar and the mother of the world calendar.

See the table below for the months and solar terms of the Miao calendar:

Edit this paragraph [national festival]

Miao nationality is rich in ancient civilization and pays attention to etiquette. The 20-year-old festival is unique and distinctive. Miao traditional festivals are divided into: 1. Farming festival; Material exchange festival; 3. Festivals for men and women to socialize, fall in love and choose their spouses; 4. Sacrificial festivals; 5. Commemorate and celebrate festivals.
