What festivals do Jingpo people have?

The festivals of Jingpo mainly include the Eye-Brain Song Festival, the Immortal Festival and the New Rice Festival.

1, eye-brain longitudinal song festival

Munao Zongge is a traditional ritual activity of Jingpo people to worship the "Mu Dai" god. "Mudai" is the biggest god in Jingpo supernatural belief, representing wealth and happiness, and can bless people. It is a god that only mountain officials have the right to sacrifice. Sacrificing "Mu Dai" is a symbol of the prestige and power of mountain officials. The more times and the larger the scale, the higher the prestige of mountain officials among the people. In the past, eyes and brains were mainly used for offering sacrifices, celebrating harvest, celebrating the victory of war or pulling things.

2. Nengxian Festival

This is a festival for young Jingpo men and women to get together, sing and dance. It is usually held on February 10th of the lunar calendar every year. This season coincides with the return of spring to the earth and the growth of everything. Young men and women who have worked hard for a year, take advantage of this good season of slack farming, and hold a festival of immortals in a flat place near mountains and rivers according to tradition.

3. New Rice Festival

September of the lunar calendar is the annual New Rice Festival, which is called "auspicious early" by local people. The "New Rice Festival" is a day for rice to ripen, celebrate harvest and taste new rice. As the Wa nationality is an agricultural nation, its productivity level was relatively low in the past, and its ability to resist natural disasters was relatively weak. Therefore, many sacrificial activities of offering sacrifices to gods and praying for blessings were formed around agricultural production.

Clothing style of Jingpo nationality

Men's wear is mainly black and white, and all branches of old men's wear are the same, all of which are black double-breasted coats, black wide-leg pants and black baotou. There are subtle differences between Jingpo branch and other branches in the clothing of young and middle-aged men. The upper body is wearing a white collar shirt, a black round neck coat, black trousers and a red and blue plaid cotton gauze cylindrical headscarf.

Young and middle-aged men in other branches are wearing white shirts, black trousers, white buns and colorful velvet tassels. No matter which branch of men travel, they carry handkerchiefs (that is, backpacks) and long knives with them. Women's wear is divided into casual wear and formal wear. If you wear casual clothes, you will wear a black or colorful double-breasted or right-breasted jacket, and a long cotton dress with solid color or Jingpo characteristics.

A dress is a dress for a holiday or wedding. On the top is a black collarless narrow-sleeved blouse with silver bubbles, silver medals and silver spikes on the chest, shoulders and back. Below is a wool skirt, woven with red, black, yellow and green wool into beautiful patterns. The waist is tied with a red belt, and the headdress is a jacquard head with a red background woven from wool. The calf is wrapped in leg wraps of the same color as the skirt, and several red necklaces, earrings and bracelets are worn.
