The two sons often gamble with the sky, the weather is very cold with heavy rain, they say it is too hot, they use the fan fan up the mountain; the weather is very hot, they have to go to the river to burn a big fire roast. Then the sky was dry for seven years, and the grass roots were eaten up. When it was cold for seven years, the cattle and horses were killed and eaten up, and then the floods inundated the whole earth. The oldest two made two drums and prepared them to go floating on top of each other. The oldest made only enough for one person to sit on the iron drum, the oldest made a large wooden drum, he called his sister to sit with him inside.

So he ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to release the dragon pig to the ground to arch, arching out many big ditches and big holes for the water to leak away. The wooden drums of Lao Er and his sister also fell to the ground. All the people on the ground were dead, and only the two of them, brother and sister, were left.

The sister was still uneasy, and said to her brother, "Tease me to take a needle and throw it down from this side, and you take the thread and throw it from that side, and if the thread goes through the eye of the needle, then we can get married. Then they took a needle and a thread and threw it down from one side to the other, and when they looked for it, the thread went through the eye of the needle, and they got married and made a family.

The two sons often gamble with the sky, the weather is very cold with heavy rain, they say it is too hot, they use the fan fan up the mountain; the weather is very hot, they have to go to the river to burn a big fire roast. Then the sky was dry for seven years, and the grass roots were eaten up.

Edit this paragraph [National Profile]

History, for the Chi tribe after the Chi, Chi, Yandi genus also, in the Yanhuang a unification of the back and south, into the Hundred Yue into today's Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan and reside in the area.

It produces rice, corn, grain, wheat, cotton, roasted tobacco, rape, and oleander. In addition to this, it is also rich in timber resources and mineral resources. The ancestors of the Miao people can be traced back to the Chi tribe active in the Central Plains in the primitive social era. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Miao ancestors began to establish the "Three Miao Country" in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, engaging in agricultural rice cultivation. The Miao have migrated many times in history, roughly from the Yellow River Basin to Hunan, to Guizhou and to Yunnan. The Miao have their own language, which belongs to the Miao branch of the Miao-Yao language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Originally there was no national script, but in the late 1950s a Latinized phonetic script was created. Nowadays, most people use Chinese as their common language. The Miao have a long history of music and dance, and the Lusheng Dance, a favorite of the masses, is highly skilled. The Miao's arts and crafts, such as flower picking, embroidery, brocade weaving, batik, and jewelry making, are magnificent and colorful, and are internationally renowned. There are many Miao festivals, the more grand festivals have been "Miao New Year", "April 8", "Dragon Boat" festival.

The Miao used to call themselves "Mou", "Meng", "Touch", "Mao", and in some areas, "Ga brain". The Miao used to call themselves "Mou", "Meng", "Touch", "Mao", and in some areas, "Ga Brain", "Guo Xiong", "Beltso", "Answer a few", etc. He called himself "Long-skirted Miao". He called himself "long-skirted Miao", "short-skirted Miao", "red Miao", "white Miao", "green seedling", "flower seedling" and so on. After the founding of New China, they are collectively known as the Miao.

The Miao have a long history, and in ancient Chinese texts, there have long been records of the Miao ancestors more than 5,000 years ago, which are the clans and tribes from the Yellow River Basin to the south of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, known as the "Southern Barbarians". The Miao do not have a written language, and the Miao language belongs to the Miao branch of the Miao-Yao language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Miao people live in the high mountains, mainly agricultural, crops include dry rice. Baogu, buckwheat, potatoes and beans, cash crops are hemp, usually their own hemp, their own textile. The Miao people have a rich oral folk literature, such as ancient songs, poems, love songs and so on. The Miao people are also good at dancing, and the Lusheng dance is the most popular.

The Miao people have their own language, the Miao language is divided into three major dialects: Xiangxi, Qiandong and Chuanqian Dian. 1956 after the design of the Latin alphabet form of the writing program. Due to the long-term interaction between the Miao and the Han Chinese, a large part of the Miao people are fluent in both Chinese and Chinese language.

The Miao's arts and crafts, such as flower picking, embroidery, brocade weaving, batik, paper-cutting, and jewelry making, are magnificent and colorful, and are famous both at home and abroad. Among them, the batik craft of the Miao has a thousand-year history. There are more than 130 kinds of Miao costumes, which are comparable to those of any other ethnic group in the world. The Miao are an ethnic group that can sing and dance well, and are especially famous for their love songs and wine songs. The Lusheng is the most representative musical instrument of the Miao people.

Edit [Religious Customs]

In the past, the Miao people believed in the spirit of everything, worshipped nature, and worshipped their ancestors. The "Drum Festival" is the biggest festival of the Miao folk. Generally, it is a small festival for seven years and a big festival for thirteen years. In the lunar calendar from October to November of the B Ohio Day, when to kill a bullock cattle, jumping Lusheng dance, sacrifices to see the ancestors. The food invited friends and relatives *** to get together, in order to enhance the relationship, family harmony.

The main beliefs of the Miao people are nature worship, totem worship, ancestor worship and other primitive forms of religion, the traditional Miao society superstitious ghosts and gods, prevalent witchcraft. There are also some Hmong who believe in Christianity and Catholicism. The Hmong believe in Buddhism, Taoism, very few.

Traditionally, the Miao people on some giant or odd-shaped natural objects, often considered a spiritual manifestation, and therefore its worship, wine and meat offerings. Typical natural objects of worship include boulders, caves, trees, and forests. In addition, the Miao believe that some natural phenomena or natural objects have a divine or ghostly nature, and the Miao language often does not distinguish between ghosts and gods, or the two words are used together. In most cases, ghosts are considered to be abandoned or aggrieved souls and tools transformed, often bringing disasters, sickness, plague or other misfortunes to humans, such as the so-called Eastern ghosts, Western ghosts, sow ghosts, hanged ghosts, tiger ghosts, and so on, which are known as evil ghosts. And natural phenomena with spirituality are often considered good ghosts, with a certain degree of divinity, such as the god of mountain, the soul of grain, the god of cotton, the god of wind, the god of thunder, the god of rain, the god of the sun, the god of the moon, and so on. For good ghosts and bad ghosts, the Miao people's sacrificial method is also different. The good ghosts are sent and welcomed, the sacrifice is more sincere, the evil ghosts must be bribed and cajoled until the drive to make it away.

In many areas, the Miao people also believe that there are many monsters in nature. For example, cows in the stables to cover their bodies with feces or spinning in the stables, stamping feces into a circle, pigs eating piglets or lying in the trough, ducks eating duck eggs, tigers into the field, encountered two snakes, hen issued a rooster's chirping, etc. are the corresponding monsters.

In some Hmong areas, the cult of man-made objects are the land Bodhisattva, the land milk, the house god, the sacrificial bridge, wells and so on. The land Bodhisattva called land ghost in Miao language, generally by a few stone base, land house is mostly wooden or with three slate built, extremely simple, set in the village next to the intersection or the roadside pedestrian resting place. The belief in the family god exists in some of the Miao in the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan dialect, that is, the "family god" idol is set up at home. The bridge festival is popular in most parts of Southeast Guizhou. The dragon is also worshipped and sacrificed to by the Miao people in various places.

Totem worship. Many of the eastern region of the Miao and Yao *** with the worship of Discus (a kind of dog). They have been legendary for generations, "the mother of God, the father of the dog" story, the disc gourd as their ancestor. Some Hmong in the central region believe that their ancestor, Jiang Yang, originated from the heart of a maple tree, and thus regard the maple tree as their totem. Some other areas of the Miao people to buffalo, bamboo, etc. as their own totem worship object.

Generally, ancestor worship occupies a very important position in the Miao society. They believe that although the ancestors are dead, their souls are always with their children and grandchildren, and they must make offerings of wine and meat on New Year's festivals, and even their daily diets should be dedicated to their ancestors at all times. Many regions hold ancestor worship ceremonies on a regular or irregular basis. In western Hunan, there are "knocking on a stick pig" and "sacrificing an ancestor with a cow", in southeastern Guizhou, there is "eating a bullock", and in Qianzhong, there is "knocking on a barang". In Qiandongnan, there is the custom of "eating bulls", and in Qianzhong, there is the custom of "knocking barangs". Among them, the eating of bullocks in southeast Guizhou is still prevalent and is the most typical. It is also known as the Festival of Drum Offering, Drum Society Festival and Drum Collection (Guliao) Festival, which is held once every seven or thirteen years by the clan (Drum Society) as a unit. They believe that the souls of their ancestors reside in the wooden drums, and the drums are played to summon the souls of their ancestors to enjoy the offerings of their children and grandchildren. The officiating priest is known as the bullock dirty head, and the bullock dirty cattle are specially bred for this purpose. Each festival lasts for three years.

Most Miao people believe in witchcraft. The main sorcery activities have been Yin, divination, God referee, ghost sacrifices, in addition to compulsion and so on. Sorcery activities are presided over by sorcerers. Most of the sorcerers are non-professional. They play the role of presiding officers in the various primordial worship and witchcraft activities mentioned above, and in some places, the sorcerers also serve as village elders. In addition to being familiar with the ritual methods, most sorcerers can also tell the genealogy of their branches, the major historical events of their people and the routes of their migratory origins, and are familiar with all kinds of myths and legends, ancient songs, ancient lyrics and folk tales, and some sorcerers also have the functions of singers and dancers. Therefore, sorcerers are important inheritors of traditional Miao culture and play the role of intellectuals in Miao society. In addition, the sorcerer also masters certain medical skills and knows some herbal medicines, which are supplemented by scientific medicine while driving away ghosts for people.

In addition to these traditional beliefs, since modern times, with the Western missionaries deep into the interior of our country, in the junction area of Yunnan-Guizhou-Chuan, Kaili, Guizhou, Hunan-Yuanling and other areas of the Hmong people converted to Christianity, and a few Hmong faith in Catholicism in southeastern Yunnan. Especially in the northeast of Yunnan and northwest of Guizhou, the Christian faith was once strong and influential. Foreign missions or missionaries opened many primary and secondary schools, medical institutions, and even implemented some economic development projects in the Miao areas, which played an indelible role in the progress of the Miao society and the improvement of their political status. Famous pastors include Dang Juren of Anshun, Bo Geli, Zhang Dao Hui, Wang Shude, etc., the first two of which died in the Miao area.

After the establishment of the new China, the influence of Christianity and Catholicism once declined, and in recent years there has been a certain trend of recovery. However, now Christianity, Catholicism, the implementation of the "Three Freedoms", and the Christian faith before 1950 in the social organization, social influence, and even the content of the faith have many differences.

The Hmong abroad, in Vietnam, Laos, there are a few Hmong Catholic faith. Hmong in the United States, France and other Western countries also believe in Christianity, Catholicism. The Hmong in Laos and Thailand are also influenced by Buddhist culture. Nevertheless, traditional ancestor worship and the concept of the soul are still largely preserved in their societies.

Edit [Ethnic Calendar]

The Hmong are 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, as can be seen from the recent excavation of the Miao ancient calendar in general. The ancient calendar of the Miao people enriched the calendar system of China and the world.

According to Prof. Chen Jiujin, a famous Chinese astronomer, the Miao have an ancient calendar system. So far, no one else has been able to project and write the ancient calendar of the Miao people, and the author would like to try.

According to the author's testimony: China's Hmong ancient calendar system is a yin and yang calendar, based on the solar calendar.

Miao ancient calendar to the twelve signs of the zodiac record time, day, month, year, a year 365.25 days, the solar calendar year 365 days, leap year 366 days.

Each year is divided into moving month, partial month, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, of which January, March, May, July, September, September 5 months for the month long day, the 31st day of the month; moving month, partial month, 2, 4, 6, 8, October and so on 7 months for the month short day, the 30th day of the month.

The winter solstice is the first day of the year, the first day of the year, the first day of the festival, and the first day of the gas, which belongs to the Chinese calendar "Zi Zheng Ren Tong".

A year is divided into "winter solstice" (Yangdan), "summer solstice" (Yindan) two years, "winter solstice" the day before the Miao calendar for the big year.

A year is divided into three seasons: the cold season, the warm season and the hot season, and is divided into the first half of the year and the second half of the year, with the cold, warm and hot seasons each taking up two months in each half of the year, and the cold, warm and hot seasons each taking up four months in a year.

The first half of the year from "cold and hot", the second half of the year from "hot and cold", the cycle of years and years and years. 4 years of a leap, the additional value of 1 day, the leap in the month of movement, that is, the first year, the 31st day of the leap month.

The last day of October in the Miao calendar is New Year's Eve (the day before the Winter Solstice). Therefore, there is "the first day of the year do not go out" Miao habit.

In addition to using the twelve Chinese zodiac signs to remember the time, day, month and year, the Miao calendar also uses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, natural numbers to assist in remembering the time, day, month and year to wish the old man a good life: "I wish you a good life at the age of 120".

Zodiac source, with twelve clans in ancient China. With the twelve signs of the zodiac to remember the time, day, month, year, a year 12 months, a day divided into 12 hours, years, months, days, hours fixed, the day according to the twelve signs of the zodiac, the cycle of use. The establishment of the system to "build" as the first day, fixed cycle of use.

The twenty-seven hosts are related to the nine trigrams of the Miao people.

The Miao ancestors also used the corresponding orientation of the house and the zodiac to assist in remembering the time, day, month and year, and divided the day into night, morning, day, and dusk for four periods of time, and the twelve zodiac signs to match the record for the "front door, the hall, the left side of the house, the back of the house, the right side of the house, the roof," to observe the sunrise and sunset. In the lunar calendar, the period from the full moon to the next full moon is one month, and each month is divided into 27 quarters. In the lunar calendar, there are 358 days in an ordinary year and 387 days in a leap year. The moving and partial moons are short days; January through October are long days. The longest day of the month is 30 days, the shortest day of the month is 29 days, and the leap month is 29 days. Hmong ancient calendar, whether solar or lunar calendar in the age of the mouse, the age of the year, the age of the Shen set leap, every 4 years a leap, leap moving month. Miao ancient calendar embodies the "one into three, trinity" of the Miao generation of philosophical views and "nine trigrams" three-dimensional thinking (i.e., before and after, left and right, up and down, in or out of the East, South, West, North, Middle, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast).

The Miao ancestors worshiped the "sun, moon and stars", and regarded the three lights as the purest.

The ancestors of the Miao people believe that the primary substances that make up the universe are Lei, Dragon, Kui three kinds of (meaning water, fire, gas), recorded as "three special"; "five elements" are light, gas, water, earth, stone. Yao (also known as Mr. Guigu) to submit to the Yellow Emperor (self-proclaimed son of heaven), the big Kui sister Rayon (Leizu) married to the Yellow Emperor as his wife, Yao in order to curry favor with the Yellow Emperor to change the nine hexagrams for the eight trigrams (Han book that Fuxi system gossip, there is a mistake), to change the one into three (yang, yin, not yang, not yin) for two (yang, yin), to change the three-dimensional thinking for the plane of thinking. Will be ten Ganzhi and twelve zodiac signs combined with the creation of the heavenly stems, earthly branches, sixty Azi (Han book has this record). Changing the 27 lodges into 28 lodges. Will be five elements according to the plane orientation and produced by the gold, water, wood, fire, earth (west, north, east, south, center), and at the same time with the gold, water, wood, fire, earth stars, sun and moon to match the creation of the seven Yao calendar. The Seven Yao Calendar is the earliest surviving calendar in China.

China's Miao calendar and the ancient Egyptian calendar with the solar calendar, but 6200 years earlier than the Egyptian calendar more than 3,800 years ago, 365 days per year, 4 years a leap; the difference is that the ancient Egyptian calendar leap year additional day for 6 days, the Miao ancient calendar leap year additional value of 1 day. The ancient Hmong calendar is consistent with the length of the solar return year of 365.25 days, and the Tengu cycle is 1,460 years old, which is highly accurate.

The ancient Chinese Miao calendar has been a great guide to the ancient Miao people engaged in agricultural production (mainly rice production), and has also been used by the private sector to choose auspiciousness. (For details, see Shi Qigui's Report on the Field Study of the Miao in Western Hunan).

The time limit for the use of the Chinese Miao calendar is at least 10,000 years, with the lower limit being the 33rd year of the Guangxu reign (1907 AD). According to the "Yongsui Zhili Zhi" records: "Father and son pass on, with the rat, ox, tiger and horse to remember the year and month, dark and the calendar." (Qing? Yang Ruizhen wrote, Tongzhi seven years) Qing? Dong Hongxun, Guangxu thirty-three years of lead-printed book "Guzhangping Hall Zhi" also has the same record. According to the collection in the Beijing Museum, "sixty years of Qianlong Miao bandits file" in the original folders and arrested Miao leaders of the "offerings" as well as those involved in the suppression of the uprising of the year compiled by the history of the book or local records: agreed on the date of the uprising of Phoenix, Qianzhou, Yongsui, Songtao four halls of the Qianlong sixty years on the sixth day of February (Lunar Calendar). According to Wu Tim half in the "confession" explained that this day is the first day of the first month of the Miao year (the Miao lunar year), the uprising day is set for this day, take the meaning of the old to the new. Later, due to the leakage of information, the uprising was advanced to the 18th day of the first month (lunar calendar). This is a major historical event recorded in the history books related to the Hmong ancient calendar.

China's ancient Hmong calendar and the United Nations announced the "future calendar program" (see the second issue of the "Data Card" in 1988, "the future of the calendar", sponsored by the Inner Mongolia branch of the Xinhua News Agency) have a different and similar wonderful combination. The Miao ancient calendar than the current Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar, the number of days per month, and intercalary law is simple, easy to grasp and use.

The Chinese Miao ancient calendar system shows that the twelve signs of the zodiac, the seven Yao calendar and twenty-seven, twenty-eight hosts are produced in China, and then imported into Babylon, India and other countries. From this, we can see that the Chinese Hmong calendar is the mother of the Chinese calendar and the mother of the world calendar.
