Information about the Yi people

Yi information, Yi information! 1, the origin and appellation of Yi people

Yi people call themselves "Nuo Po" and "Nuo Su Po". It was called "Yi" in the documents of Han and Jin Dynasties, "East Yao Man" in the Tang Dynasty and "Wuman" or "Yi" after the Song Dynasty. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Luo Luo was the clan name, which was later called Luo Luo or Luo Yi. In Yi language, "Luo" means tiger, and "Luo" is an overlapping name. At first, the Yi people called themselves "Lolo" and "Tiger". Among the old Yi people in the Nihe area of Panxian County, some people say "Luoluo", which means Dragon and Tiger. There are other translations of Lolo, such as Lulu and Lolo. Due to the ethnic discrimination policy of the feudal dynasty, some feudal scholars wrote "Luo Luo" as "Luo Yan" or "Naked Luo", which greatly hurt national feelings. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the CPC Central Committee and the central people decided to use Ding Yi's "Yi" as the unified name of Yi people in all branches of the region.

The Yi people in Panxian experienced a long slave society and feudal society. During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the Yi people were the most populous and influential ethnic group in western Guizhou. Some scholars believe that the ancestors of the Yi people in Guizhou evolved from the Yi people in Yelang Yi family, while others believe that the Yi people in Guizhou originated from the branch of the ancient frontier ethnic group "Kun". According to the ancient records of Yi language, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancestors of Yi people longed for Russia to marry three people, and * * * gave birth to six sons, which were called "six ancestors" in the world, namely, Shi Muya Ku, Mu Yaqi, Mu Yasai, Mu Yawo, Mu Tangke and Mu Yaqi. Their descendants have multiplied into six lineages: Wu, Zha, Nuo, Heng, Bu and Mo. According to some studies, the Yi people in cities are mainly descendants of Bumo. The ancestors of the Yi people in their early life were few, and they were assimilated by the local people. Up to now, among the Gelao people in Shuicheng County, there are also ethnic groups called "Yi Gelao people", and some of their language customs are similar to the Yi people.

There are more than 40 surnames of the Yi people in Panxian County, including Long Long Ji 'anlu (Lu, Lu), Ban Wuli, Tang Xiewang, Yugong Yao Shihu, Mao Zhaodu, Liu Sulan Zhipu, Wan Zhou Jin, Tianhai Yanghuangliu and Gengdong Bideng.

2. Yi population and its distribution.

In Panxian County, the Yi people are distributed in a small settlement and a large dispersion. Before the merger of 1992, there were nine Yi townships in the Yi inhabited areas, namely Pingdi Yi Township, four Yi townships, Song He Yi Township, Jichangping Yi Township, Jiuying Baimiao Yi Township, Baoji Miao Yi Township, Yuni Yi Township, Pugu Miao Yi Township and Machang Miao Yi Township, with a population of 96,600.

(2) Folk customs

1, marriage customs

The traditional marriage of Yi people is unique and interesting. There are two forms of marriage, one is the arranged marriage of "parents' orders and matchmakers' words", and the other is the marriage formed by young men and women's free love. Marriage generally has the following four processes: introducer (transliteration of "Fu Jiao" in Yi language), proposing relatives (transliteration of wife Jiao), engagement (transliteration of A Quzu), gift giving (transliteration of elbow joint) and marriage (transliteration of Amai wife and wife guest).

Propose marriage Young men and women of Yi people often meet and sing in the wild (transliteration is called "Qugu") or have a private tryst to talk about love. Until we talk about marriage and have no objection to each other's marriage, the man's parents will invite the introducer to the woman's house to explore. After several trials, the introducer felt that there was hope for marriage, so he officially told the man and his parents that the man prepared good wine and oatmeal fried noodles to formally propose to the introducer. My parents arranged it, but I didn't give the bride's parents a gift for the first time. The introducer had to come to the door three times and five times, and it took a lot of effort to agree. There is also a custom of "throwing stones to the ground, it's a deal" in Pingdi Township of Panxian County, that is, throwing stones to the ground means promising marriage.

Engaged. The date is selected by the man's family. The introducer leads the man and his father, uncle and uncle, and brings a liter of oatmeal fried noodles, two bottles of wine and two pieces of cloth (for the woman and her parents) to the woman's family to formally confirm the marriage relationship and eat engagement wine. At that time, the woman's family will kill a rooster and a hen (symbolizing the matching of yin and yang) for a banquet, and invite their elders to accompany them. During the dinner, the host divided the male and female chicken heads, chicken wings, chicken legs and so on. And shared it according to the guests and the host. After dinner, the host carefully divined the chicken bones left by the host and guest, and analyzed and judged the good or bad luck of the marriage. Then, four chicken hexagrams (chicken femur) are paired with men and women, tied with five-color lines, and each person holds one as an engagement certificate.

Pick another day. After repeated consultations between the two families, the man's family will choose an auspicious day to send a bride price. At that time, the introducer will lead the man and his close relatives, uncles and so on. (The number of people must be even), and bring the agreed money and goods and the wedding auspicious day card (wedding date) to the woman's home. The next day, the woman's family slaughtered chickens and sheep for entertainment, and invited close relatives ... >>

Information about the Yi nationality The Yi nationality is the oldest member of the Chinese nation, with a long history and ancient and charming Yi customs. In the long history, the Yi people have formed the characteristics of being good at singing and dancing, with rich and colorful folk music and dance art and splendid national programs. In addition, they also have unique diet, daily life, weddings, funerals, costumes, hospitality and celebration etiquette, which can make people return to nature and experience the charm of ancient civilization.

(A) Yi language with a long history

There are different opinions about the origin and history of Yi language, and there is no conclusion yet. It is said that Biaslaze (1500 years ago) listened to the legend of the divine bird in the big forest and wrote the Bimo Sutra. According to the Yi family tree, Bi 'a has a history of more than 60 generations. Meigu county people, after the liberation of Liangshan, still have stone scriptures (destroyed during the Cultural Revolution), which can be traced back to the Han and Jin Dynasties. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yi language reached a certain scale and was supplemented in later generations. The Ming and Qing dynasties have been quite developed. Many existing Yi inscriptions and classic manuscripts are the products of this period. Up to now, the total number of Yi languages in various places is around 10,000 words, but the more commonly used ones are just over 1,000 words. 1974 formulated a unified Yi language standard scheme, which simplified the unified 8 19 characters.

(2) Ancient Yi myths and legends

There are a large number of myths and legends circulating among the Yi people, among which the most representative one recorded in Yi language is the myth reflected in the epic Le Ott Clothes. The epic describes the changes of the universe, the origin of human beings and the migration of ancestors 12. These stories are independent and interrelated. With majestic momentum, vivid images and simple language, they reflect some backgrounds of Yi people in primitive society and early slave society.

(3) Yi music

Yi people's music is rich and colorful, with beautiful songs, dances and instrumental music, which has a distinctive national artistic style.

The songs have Russian, elegant, left and plaid names.

Russia, which means singing, has many tunes, such as "Niu Niu Russia" and "Amoni provokes Russia".

Ah, this is a solo folk song, which is often sung when grazing in the mountains, farming in the fields or playing. Singers are generally young men and women, mostly improvising, expressing their yearning for freedom, love and happiness, with a strong local flavor.

Zuo, called Asimu Mozuo by Yi people, is a wedding song.

Song, also known as Zege or Cheng Agu Song, is a song sung in mourning for the dead or in sacrificial activities, and it is also named after each paragraph begins with "Ah Guo … Oh, sigh". This is a kind of chorus song, usually with ten people as a team, dancing and singing, and the lyrics are improvised by the lead singer. Generally, the host and guests sing in teams, and the participants can be women.

Musical instruments, Yi folk musical instruments are rich, such as kouxian, Qin Yue, huqin, flute, suona, Hulusheng, leather drum, bronze bell and konoha. Among them, Kouxian, Qin Yue and flute are the most popular.

Traditional dances of the Yi people include: festival dance, wedding dance, funeral dance or mourning dance, palace dance and bell drum dance, labor dance and war dance, opposite-foot dance, street dance, handkerchief dance, bracelet dance, wheel dance and so on.

Festival dances mainly include the "solo dance" to celebrate the Torch Festival. This is a large women's group dance. There are two kinds of dance formations: round and double-row horizontal lines, with round as the main form. Generally, it consists of three to fifty people. One person leads the dance and sings in each circle, and the rest of the partners sing and dance behind. At the same time, everyone holds an umbrella with his left hand and pulls the skirt of the person in front with his right hand to form a dance circle. In a torch field, there are often dozens or even hundreds of such dance circles dancing. Hundreds of people can attend the dance. This is one of the most spectacular scenes at the Torch Festival in Liangshan Yi area.

(D) Yi art

After a long period of accumulation and creation by working people, Yi art has made certain achievements and formed a unique style.

Painting, Liangshan Yi people have no special painting art. Only in Bimo's scriptures can we see the sun, the moon, people, chickens, insects and other figures, and the figures drawn, such as birds, animals, flowers and plants, are all the mythical figures of the God-man. Legend has it that Shige Aaron once shot the sun and the moon, knocking down animals on the ground, so when painting Shige Aaron, he also painted the sun, the moon, people, chickens, insects and so on. These sketches composed of points and lines give people a primitive and simple aesthetic feeling.

Sculpture: In the past, the houses, roofs, columns, eaves columns and guozhuang stones of the ruling class of Yi people often had figures, birds and animals, flowers and other patterns carved by craftsmen. In addition, there are exquisite patterns carved by craftsmen on the commonly used swords and long handles.

Embroidery, Liangshan Yi women are good at embroidery. They often wear shoes, headscarves and clothes ... >>

Living habits and materials of the Yi people Most Yi people are used to eating three meals by solar eclipse, with coarse cereals, noodles and rice as their staple foods. Yi people in Shousha River, Anning River and Dadu River basins often eat a lump of rice for breakfast. That is, corn, buckwheat, wheat, barley, millet and other miscellaneous grains are ground into powder, made into small dough, and then boiled with water into dough bumps, also known as glutinous rice, which can be sauerkraut, lobster sauce, pepper and so on. For lunch, Baba is the staple food, and there are tables. Baba is to mix miscellaneous grains noodles and stick them on the pot for cooking, or to ferment the mixed noodles and stick them on the pot for cooking, which is called soaking Baba. Among all Baba, Baba made of buckwheat noodles is the most distinctive. It is said that buckwheat Baba has the effects of promoting digestion, relieving sweating and diminishing inflammation, and can be preserved for a long time without deterioration. Nuning, a traditional snack in Su Qiao, Guizhou Province, has become a well-known local snack. Dinner is also a lump of rice, one dish and one soup, with pickles or building a house to ask for help, and dinner is also accompanied by wine, meat, boiled tofu, fried salt beans and other dishes. In spring and summer, I like to make sour soup with sauerkraut or dried vegetables (boiled Chinese cabbage or vegetables, dried). There is also grinding corn into rice grains, removing chaff, steaming rice as the staple food, and rolling all kinds of flour into coarse flour as the staple food. When eating, the elders are above the price, and the younger generation sits on both sides and below in turn, adding rice, side dishes and pickles for the elders.

Meat is mainly pigs, sheep and beef. Mainly made into "tuotuo meat", beef soup pot, sheep soup pot, or roasted sheep and piglets. Deer, bears, rock sheep and wild boar obtained by hunting are also supplements to daily meat. In addition, the mountain is also rich in mushrooms, fungus, chicken (native chicken+native chicken) and walnuts. The vegetables produced in the garden make the source of B dishes very extensive. In addition to fresh, most of them should be made into sauerkraut, which can be divided into dried sauerkraut and pickled sauerkraut. Cooking sauerkraut with boiled meat soup and adding a little pepper can relieve greasy, thirst and alcohol, solve minor food poisoning and eat more. Another famous dish "Swordfish" is also the most common dish among the people. When making "Doraba", first grind soybeans into pulp and cook them with bean dregs and sauerkraut, which is delicious.

There are still different opinions on the origin of the Yi nationality in the history of the Yi nationality, and there is no conclusion yet. Up to now, the ethnic origin of Yi people mainly includes the theory of aboriginality and the theory of frontier strength. There are two kinds of aborigines: southwest aborigines and Yunnan aborigines. According to the theory of southwest aborigines, the Yi people have lived in the southwest of the motherland since ancient times, and after different stages of human development, they have become the Yi people today. This claim is based not only on China literature, but also on ancient Yi literature, myths and legends. According to the theory of Yunnan aborigines, Yunnan is the origin of Yi people. Bian Qiang said that the ancient Qiang people who lived in Qinghai, northwest of China, began to develop in all directions six or seven thousand years ago, and one of them swam to the southwest of the motherland. The early southern branch of the ancient Qiang people merged with the local indigenous peoples, and later Qiongfan in Xichang and Fan Dian in Yunnan were the ancestors of the Yi people. In addition, there is the "Western Alien Ethnology". In the late Qing Dynasty, westerners came to Yi areas with anthropological vision. The result of the investigation is: "From the physical characteristics of Yi people, such as tall figure, high nose and deep eyes, bronzed skin color, it is considered that the blood of Yi people should have the blood characteristics of western Aryans or Caucasians. Especially at that time, Xiaoliangshan was still in a hierarchical slave society, and its members were similar to the Indian caste system (Aryan invasion brought India). Based on this, it is considered that Yi people are westerners or at least descendants of western Aryans. Davis mentioned the Yi people in his book "Yunnan-India's Connection with the Yangtze River" written in 19 1: ..... We climbed a mountain range 4000 feet high and arrived at Zuoqu Luoluo village, where the Luoluo people are the most I have ever seen in the south. Lu Dazhen mentioned in the Study of Luoluo People and Jianchang Luoluo Ethnography that the Yi people are "an excellent scum". Everyone in Russia, Peter Cooper, also mentioned in the book "Forgotten Kingdom": "They are tall ... their skin color is not black at all, but they are like mulatto, creamy chocolate, big eyes shining and always bright, and their aquiline noses are almost like Romans. Their hair is black, slightly curly and very soft. "In modern rollo, there are physiological differences between black and white groups. Heiro is tall. Some people say he is taller than Europeans. They have an aquiline nose, and the raised nasal ridge is very different from the Mongolian subtype. " Therefore, the Yi people's view of "Western Aliens" belongs to smoke without fire. 3000 years ago, the ancestors of the Yi people were distributed in some areas in the southwest, that is, the so-called tribes such as Song Yueyi, Wuyi, Kun Ming, Lao Jin, Momo and Zuo, which often appear in history books. During the long-term formation and development of Yi ancestors, their activities once spread all over the central areas of Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces and a part of Guangxi, and their core areas should be the vast areas adjacent to the three provinces. In the 1930 s, the ruling area reached the whole of eastern Yunnan, western Guizhou and Sichuan, and basically controlled the main distribution areas of Yi ancestors. Nanzhao slavery dynasty once ruled the Yi ancestors' areas for a long time, which had a far-reaching impact on the existence and development of local slavery. In the second year of Tang Tianfu (902). For more than 300 years in Song Dynasty, Yi ancestors in Rong (Yibin), Lu (Hanyuan) and Li (Hanyuan) were in the struggle between Song Dynasty and Dali regime, and the slave economy was relatively prosperous. In line with this, the slave production relations appeared the situation that big tribes enslaved small tribes. In the third year of Mongolia, Mongolia and Mongolia Khan (1253), Mongolian cavalry attacked Yunnan in three routes from Sichuan, passing through the Yi region, which led to the formation of a loose anti-Mongolian alliance in the divided Yi region and began to be unified under the name of Luoluo people. During the 276 years of Ming Dynasty, the land spanned the Yi Tusi (Mozi) such as Shuixi (Dafang), Wuxuan (Weining), Wumeng (Zhaotong), Mangbu (Zhenxiong), Dongchuan (Huize), Yongning (Xuyong), Mahu (Pingshan) and Jianchang (Xichang). On the basis of the above hierarchical relationship, the chieftain system of Shuixi, Jianchang and Wumeng Yi people in Ming Dynasty is still the superstructure of slavery. During the period of Kang Yong, the Qing Dynasty carried out the policy of "changing the soil into the stream" in the Yi area, which dealt a heavy blow to the forces of Tusi, Mutu and slave owners. With the development of social productive forces, during the founding of the People's Republic of China, most Yi areas were still in the late period of slavery or feudal lords.

History of Yi folk custom materials

Yi nationality is a nationality formed by the continuous integration of ancient Qiang people with southwest indigenous tribes in the long-term development process. Six or seven thousand years ago

The ancient Qiang people living in Hehuang area in northwest China began to develop in all directions, and one of them swam to the southwest of the motherland. More than 3,000 years ago, the ancient Qiang people who traveled to the southwest formed "Six Yi", "Seven Qiang" and "Nine Borders" in the southwest of the motherland, which are the so-called "Song Yueyi", "Qing Qiang", "insulting Kun", "labor immersion" and "Mimo" that often appear in history books. When the ancient Qiang people swam to the southwest, there were already two ancient nationalities in the southwest-Baipu nationality and Baiyue nationality. After the ancient Qiang people went to the southwest, they learned that Baipu and Baiyue lived together for a long time and absorbed the southern culture of Baipu and Baiyue. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, the integration of Kunming people and Yan (Pu) developed into the integration of modern people. From the Han Dynasty to the Six Dynasties, the main residents in eastern Yunnan, western Guizhou and southern Sichuan were called "Lao people" in China's historical records, and sometimes "Lao people" were juxtaposed with "ordinary people".

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there have been two kinds of barbarians among the ancestors of Yi people. Wuman is developed from Kunming tribe, while Baiman is mainly composed of Lao, Pu and other ethnic groups, and is integrated with other ethnic groups.

During the long-term formation and development of Yi ancestors, their activities once spread all over the central areas of Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces and a part of Guangxi, and their core areas should be the vast areas adjacent to the three provinces.

An important feature in the history of the Yi people is the long-term maintenance of the slave possession system. Around the Western Han Dynasty in the 2nd century BC, there was a split between nomadic tribes and settled agricultural tribes in Yi ancestors' society. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a group of ancestors of the Yi nationality were constantly divided, which indicated that the Kunming tribe had basically completed the transition from primitive tribe to slave ownership on the basis of conquering ordinary tribes.

In the 1930s, the Mongolian society Zhao Tong introduced the Six Zhao Dynasties, and the ancestors of the Yi and Bai nationalities in Yunnan established the Nanzhao slavery regime, with the ruling center in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in western Yunnan, covering eastern Yunnan, western Guizhou and southern Sichuan, and basically controlling the main distribution areas of the ancestors of the Yi nationality.

Nanzhao slavery dynasty once ruled the Yi ancestors' areas for a long time, which had a far-reaching impact on the existence and development of local slavery. In the second year of Tang Dynasty (902), the collapse of Nanzhao slavery dynasty did not mean the demise of slavery in the areas of Yi ancestors. For more than 300 years in Song Dynasty, Yi ancestors in Rong (Yibin), Lu (Hanyuan) and Li (Hanyuan) were in the struggle between Song Dynasty and Dali regime, and the slave economy was relatively prosperous. In line with this, the slave production relations appeared the situation that big tribes enslaved small tribes.

In the third year of Mongolia, Mongolia and Mongolia Khan (1253), Mongolian cavalry attacked Yunnan in three routes from Sichuan, passing through the Yi region, which led to the formation of a loose anti-Mongolian alliance in the divided Yi region and began to be unified under the name of Luoluo people. Accordingly, Mongolian aristocrats intensified their struggle for the local Yi people and developed into a chieftain system in some frontier ethnic areas, in which the hereditary positions of leaders of all ethnic groups were enfeoffed to rule the local people. From 1263 to 1287, the Yi Tusi were established in Yuexi, Xichang, Pingshan, Dafang, Zhaotong and Weining.

During the 276 years of Ming Dynasty, the land spanned the Yi Tusi (Mozi) such as Shuixi (Dafang), Wuxuan (Weining), Wumeng (Zhaotong), Mangbu (Zhenxiong), Dongchuan (Huize), Yongning (Xuyong), Mahu (Pingshan) and Jianchang (Xichang). On the basis of the above hierarchical relationship, the chieftain system of Shuixi, Jianchang and Wumeng Yi people in Ming Dynasty is still the superstructure of slavery.

During the period of Kang Yong, the Qing Dynasty carried out the policy of "changing the soil into the stream" in the Yi area, which dealt a heavy blow to the forces of Tusi, Mutu and slave owners. With the development of social productive forces, some areas have quickly transitioned from slavery to feudalism.

As night falls, a pair of affectionate men and women, in the mountains, by the stream, under the butter umbrella, pluck Qin Yue, play the strings and tell each other about their lovesickness. Therefore, some people call Liangshan Yi International Torch Festival "Valentine's Day in the East". Torch Festival Day 3: Send fire. This is the * * * of the entire Liangshan Yi International Torch Festival. On this day, when night falls, everyone will run around with torches. Finally, people gathered their torches together to form a huge bonfire, and happy people gathered around the bonfire to sing and dance heartily. The scene is extremely spectacular.

The main activities are bullfighting, goat shooting, cockfighting, horse racing, wrestling, song and dance performances, beauty contests and so on. In the new era, the Torch Festival has been endowed with new folk functions and produced new forms.

What are the details of the Yi people among the 56 ethnic groups of the Chinese nation? The origin of the custom of Yi children playing with pig's feet In ancient times, children had the custom of playing with pig's feet. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there is a beautiful and touching story about the origin of the custom that children in the village gather together with their slaughtered pig's trotters. Once upon a time, there was a famous hunter. The hunter has an only son. He loves his only son very much, regards him as a treasure and is obedient to him. One day, the son asked his father to take him hunting. So the hunter took his precious son to hunt in the mountains. The father and son turned to look up to the sky and went straight to the afternoon, but they didn't see any prey. At this time, the hounds refused to enter the forest area to find the target because of overwork. In desperation, the father and son found some water to sit down and mixed some rice cakes to satisfy their hunger. While they were eating, the hounds caught a small Yi animal named Guo Bu and drove it forward. At this point, the father and son stopped eating Ciba and followed. Guo Bu, hounds and hunters all ran wildly for a while, but Guo Bu was driven by hounds to a beautiful tree. Guo Bu jumped on the tree and disappeared in a blink of an eye, only to see hounds crouching under the tree barking. This kind of tree has white, yellow and purple flowers, which are very big and beautiful. Father and son don't know what tree it is. In fact, this is a tree called Lunbu in Yi language. This rare species of Lunbu is mobile. At this time, the hunter who didn't know the characteristics of the tree said to his son, "You should take good care of this book here. I'll go home and get an axe and rope, and we'll cut down the tree. " Say that finish, turned and left. When the hunter came back, the tree was gone, and so was his son. The hunter cried sadly. Crying, crying, he fell asleep. In the dim light, I saw the beautiful and unusual appearance of the rumb tree in front of him. Guo Bu jumped up and down on the tree. His precious son jumped down from the tree and said to him, "Dad, why are you so sad?" I can't go home with you anymore. I hope you don't feel sad. Go back quickly and bring me two trotters to play on the second day of the lunar new year. "In this way, the hunter woke up and went back more sadly. In memory of the hunter's son, people in the village will let their children take the slaughtered pig's trotters to the place where the hunter's son disappeared for dinner on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Since then, this practice has spread rapidly and continues to this day. Even in places where Han people live together and are greatly influenced by Yi and Han customs, children will play with the custom of trotters during the Year of the Yi people.

The Torch Festival of Yi nationality is an ancient and important traditional festival of the Torch Festival of Yi, Bai, Naxi, Jinuo and Lahu nationalities. It has profound folk culture connotation and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, and is called "Carnival of the East". Different ethnic groups hold Torch Festivals at different times, mostly on June 24th of the lunar calendar. The main activities are bullfighting, goat shooting, cockfighting, horse racing, wrestling, song and dance performances and beauty contests.

Wait a minute. The ethnic minorities are Yi, Naxi and Jinuo on June 24th, 25th and 20th, and Lahu on June 20th. This festival lasts for two or three days. Yi people think that the ears of grain that grow after Torch Festival are as thick as torches. Later generations used this as a sacrifice to drive away ghosts and evil spirits at home, so as to keep people and animals safe. Nowadays, people also use the opportunity of * * * to socialize or meet lovers and conduct business activities on festivals. Torch Festival is also a grand festival for Bai people. Every year on June 25th in the summer calendar, the Bai people hold activities to wish people and animals a bumper harvest and prosperity. Han Torch Festival Nantong City, Jiangsu Province is the only place where the Han people hold the Torch Festival. On the solstice of winter every year, the local lean men will hold a torch made of rice stalks, pour oil on the front and back of the house, and circle around the field several times to pray for a good weather and a good harvest in the coming year.

What are the names of Yi people? The current stars are Ji Jie, Quiet and He Jie. A few years ago, there were three eagles and power trains. In history, there were ladies and yelang kings.
