What do the Bai people have to eat Bai dishes to sour, spicy, slightly hemp as the main features, mainly using locally produced plants and animals as raw materials, with a strong local and national colors, the most commonly eaten is fish

What are the beliefs and diet of the Bai people? There are three main categories, which sometimes cross each other.

The first is the belief in the protection of God, called the "Lord", the Lord worship is the Bai people all believe in the unique religion. "The Lord" that is, the Lord of the realm, is a village or a region of the Bai people's protection of God. Almost every village has built the main temple, the temple enshrines sandalwood carving or clay, stone idol of the Lord. The gods worshipped in each village are different, and there is a regular annual festival for the birth anniversary of the main god. The main god of nature worship of God, hero worship of God, Nanzhao Dali Kingdom of the royal civil and military ministers, but also foreign characters or not seen in the unknown people of all colors, are set up as the main. Normally, regardless of life and death disease, marriage and festivals, out of the home, birth and child-rearing are to the Lord of the temple ritual dinner, in order to bless, and hope that the Lord, "good request must be answered", blessing good people.

The second category is Buddhism, especially Tantric Buddhism. Originated in the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao Kingdom era, called Dianmi. During the period of Nanzhao Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty transmitted Buddhism, of which a branch of Tantric Buddhism called Azharite, about the time of the Tang Dynasty into the present-day Dali region of Yunnan, and then influenced the period of the Dali Kingdom, through the Yuan and Ming after the gradual decline. The main practices include chanting mantras, making seals, and praying, and there are the so-called "Three Tantras," which are the Tantra of speech (chanting true words), the Tantra of the body (making seals with the hands), and the Tantra of the mind (visualization with the mind). The Azharite religion has been spreading in the Dali region for a long time and has a wide range of influence, and was once the dominant religion of the Nanzhao and Dali kingdoms, the local authorities in the southwest of China. In the long process of transmission, it interacted with the original religion and culture of the Bai people, forming a branch of Chinese Buddhist Tantric Buddhism with Bai characteristics, referred to as "Dali Tantric Buddhism" or "Bai Tantric Buddhism" or "Dian Tantric Buddhism". The name "Dali Tantric Buddhism" is abbreviated as "Dali Tantric Buddhism" or "Bai Tantric Buddhism" or "Dian Tantric Buddhism".

Compared with other Tantric sects, the "Yunnan Tantric" Azhali has the following distinctive features: First, the monks especially respect the Asaye Guanyin. Firstly, the monks are especially devoted to the Asagyar Guanyin. The title "Asagyar Guanyin" is seldom found in Buddhist texts, and is unique to the Azharite sect. Asanya Guanyin is a long, slender, broad-shouldered, thin-waisted statue wearing Indian bodhisattva-style clothes, which is commonly known as the thin-waisted Guanyin to the White believers. Asaye Guanyin is a product of the localization and nationalization of Buddhist statues after they were introduced into the Bai area. Secondly, the main god is Daheitian God. Daheitian God is the translation of the Sanskrit word "Mahakala", which is the protector god of the "Dianmi" Azharite religion. The deity has a very high status among the Bai people and enjoys the worship of the followers. Third, monks are allowed to have families. As a religious school, Dianmi although it has become history, but as a form of religious belief, not completely disappeared from the Bai social life, but into other religions by the Bai people from generation to generation. To this day, some of the beliefs of the Bai people can still be found in the traces of the Azharite religion.

The third category is Taoism and other natural deities, which also have a lot of manifestations in the areas where the Bai live, such as Dali, where the Bai have been interacting with the Han for a long time, and are very familiar with Han folklore and culture, and where the customs of the Han Chinese people, such as belief in ghosts and deities related to Taoism, also have manifestations in the culture of the Bai.

What are the customs and habits of the Bai people live in what house like to eat what form of housing

The form of housing of the Bai people, the dam area, more for the "long three," lined with kitchens, stables, and thatched roof houses with yards, or "a positive two ear ", "three sides of a wall", "four five patio" of the tile house, bedroom, kitchen, stables are separated. Mountainous areas are mostly on the downstairs stables of the straw room, "flash" room, gabion room or "wood pallet room", cooking and sleeping places are often connected together.

Marriage

In the Bai family, the son married that is separated from his parents. The Bai people do not intermarry with each other.

The love activities of the young men and women of the Bai people are relatively free, they usually take advantage of the labor, market, festivals and temple fair opportunities to talk about love, through the songs to test each other, express their feelings, and look for their sweetheart.

Bai wedding

When a young Bai man to the girl love, the girl agreed to send to the male side of the poop; wedding bride to be under the insults of the room to make "fish soup"; after the wedding of the first Mid-Autumn Festival, the bride to do the big noodle cake, and to show that the bride's culinary skills. Wedding between the tea first, and then set four four Ruyi (i.e., four plates, four plates, four pots, four bowls) seat. Bai hospitality, regardless of the usual or festivals, if there are guests to the first Shen tea, and even poured three, called the three-way tea. Pouring tea for the guests can not be poured full, folk "wine full of people, tea full of people" said.

Back marriage is a popular wedding custom in the Bai ethnic area of Eryuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Whenever there is a crossroads, a three-way street or a place where people gather, the guests will stop, the dowry yards into two large stacks, so that the groom back the bride around the dowry around the word "8".

Bai wedding

The Bai people practiced monogamy, the wedding is grand, warm. According to traditional customs, the wedding day, the groom and the boys must ride a high horse to marry. After the bride married back to worship, by the groom, the bride to the family elders one by one worship, and then is invited to dinner. The bride and groom have to accompany the guests to the meal, at which time the guests can ask the newlyweds difficult questions or let them perform programs, and the wedding is shrouded in applause and laughter. The most characteristic is to burn chili powder at the wedding, so many people sneeze and cough in the laughter, hilarious.

The White marriage **** there are three forms: one is to marry the daughter to the male family, this form accounts for the majority; two is to recruit the aunt to the door, the situation is mainly female parents do not have a son, even if there is also a demented naive and sick and disabled, so it is to recruit the aunt to the door. On the door of the aunt must be changed to the woman's family name, and then by the female elders to re-take the name; three is the form of roll tent back to the door, that is, men and women married seven days after the wife took her husband with tents, bedding back to the woman's home to live. Because the woman's family has a brother, but too young, elderly parents, had to "roll tent back to the door to support the elderly and take care of young siblings. When the younger brother grows up and gets married, the man returns to the man's home with his wife. These three forms of marriage have a long history and are still in use today. But no matter which form of marriage they belong to, the wedding date and the process of the wedding are basically the same. The only thing is that when the aunt is invited to the door, it is the woman who marries the man, not the man who marries the woman, and the roles of the two parties are interchanged. When a son gets married, he usually separates from his parents and organizes a separate small family. It is up to the parents to choose who they want to live with, and the majority of them choose to live with their youngest son. Therefore, monogamous small family is the common form of family organization of the Bai people.

According to the custom of the Bai people, if the husband died, the wife can keep the festival all her life, and can also be married, but another marriage shall not be taken away from the former husband's family property. In some areas, there is the custom of transferring the house, after the death of the brother, sister-in-law can be married to the younger brother, known as the uncle on the sister-in-law, but this phenomenon is no longer rare.

The living habits of the Bai people The Bai people are a branch of the Han people, and their so-called festivals are the Han people's forgotten festivals.

Due to its remote location, it is undeniable that historically there was more blood from the southern tribes in the matriarchal lineage of the people's family.

Its so-called Bai dress is a lapel dress formed after the Manchu Qing Dynasty banned the Han Chinese dress.

The Bai dance is a remnant of the Han dance. Historically, the Han were a very dance-loving people.

Before liberation, the Bai were known as the Minjia, and like the Hakka, they were all part of the migrating Han. At that time, the Hakka were also prepared to be classified as an ethnic minority, but there were too many Hakka, and the Hakka were adamantly opposed to classifying themselves as Han Chinese, and their strong sense of Han Chinese made ethnologists give up on the plan to classify them as a separate ethnic group.

There was also the Paiqing, who were standard Han Chinese in all components, but at the time were in conflict with the local indigenous Han Chinese and were adamant about being classified as a minority. Although not explicitly, but the name of wearing the Qing ethnic group also flowed down. In fact, in Yunnan, the cultural level of the folk is much higher than that of any of the surrounding ethnic groups The genealogies of the high families and big surnames are all from the Central Plains The surnames of the folk are all standard Han surnames Their big surnames are exactly the same as those of the Han In fact, the country has been very realistic since the identification of the Keno ethnic group. No new ethnic groups are being recognized. The fact is that the Soviet Union's ethnic policies and divisions are contrary to the goal of China's revival
