Buyi people in primitive religion

Bridging bridges: The Buyi people in Maguan have a tradition of inheriting their descendants, and their ancestors are very concerned about the reproduction of their descendants. When every adult man and woman have been married for several years and have not given birth, their parents invite witches to play with them and choose an auspicious day to sit in the sedan chair. They thought that the Queen Mother would send the children to the young couple when they walked on the Flower Bridge.

Huaqiao is a bridge with a pair of golden bamboos as pillars. Cut into many human figures with red and green paper and hung on the flower bridge, which means that the Queen Mother sent many children to the couple.

Everything is ready. Mr. Mina sang and danced outside the bridal chamber, and then pulled it out of the house with white cotton thread on the flower bridge. The white line is on the side of the road If a small animal is found to have climbed this white line, it is considered as a gift from the Queen Mother. When the guards saw this thing, they regarded it as a treasure, held it in their hands and went straight to the host's house. Mina happily put it on the flower bridge and read, "The queen mother gives the son of the dragon king, and the queen mother gives the son of the dragon king!" "

This flower bridge was put by the owner, some on the bed of the bridal chamber, and some on the bed until the woman was infertile.

Master Chuangbao: If the child loves to cry, doesn't eat milk, gets sick at both ends in three days, loses weight gradually, and so on. Many failed to seek medical treatment or send ghosts. Take the things prepared by parents to the fork in the road next to the village and wait for pedestrians to rush into the table. It's called robbing the Lord. Anyone who intrudes into a banquet, regardless of gender, age, wealth and rank, has the right to be a patron saint (mother) as long as he intrudes into the banquet. Intruders generally don't refuse, but are willing to raise their glasses and drink. After drinking, he took out a silver dollar from his wallet and gave it to his adopted son (child). At the same time, he gave a name to his adopted son. If the intruder is penniless, he should also be given a button. When leaving, the intruder took a piece of meat to feed the child and shouted "Dad". It is said that through this activity, children will never get sick again.

Puffing (now called disease): Buyi people live in poor and backward border areas. Before liberation, children were easy to flirt because of poor living conditions and poor sanitary conditions. The disease ranges from cold to burns, the whole body trembles, the skin becomes thin and yellow, the spleen becomes swollen, the diet is greatly reduced, and in severe cases, it leads to death. In order to alleviate the children's pain, the parents of the patients took their children to the fork in the road outside the village with broken pots and soybeans ten minutes before the onset, burned the fire on the pot, fried the soybeans in the pot and said, "Brother Dang, eat fried beans, brother Dang, eat fried beans!" Stir-fry, read and read, suddenly "woof", stretched out his hand and dragged the child away, never looking back, until the child was sweating, he quietly hid home and closed the door. It is said that it will never happen again.

Egg divination: children often get sick or fall from a height, or fall into the water and so on. It will make him weak, yellow and thin. His parents prepared an egg, three dishes of incense, a bowl of rice and some money paper, and went to the pond to "wake up" the children. The specific method is: tie a small ladder with a Chinese fir stick, put it into the pond water, and burn incense and paper. At the same time, the old man held the egg in his palm and repeatedly called the patient's name until the egg in his hand rolled up by himself, which showed that the child's soul had come back; Or a bug climbs up from the ladder, which means the soul is back. At this time, I slowly pulled the ladder ashore, holding the egg, holding the bowl, burning incense, and calling the child's name while walking: "The baby is scared, go home with her mother, blessed, and grow up quickly."
