Later, it gradually evolved into a national event for Bai people's culture, sports, entertainment and outing activities. Every year from April 23rd to 25th of the lunar calendar, Bai people around Erhai Lake wear red, green and gather red, and come to participate in activities, or hang a colored silk, gourd, mosquito broom, fan and towel, with one leading the singing and one clapping.

Bai women wear white shirts, bright red, blue or light blue collars, gray-blue and green trousers with embroidered edges and trousers corners, embroidered shoes on their feet and embroidered short aprons embroidered with flowers and birds around their waists.

Bai wedding is lively and complicated, which usually takes three days. The wedding day is called "happy event", the first day is called "stepping on the shed" and the second day is called "individual guest". Among them, the first two days are more distinctive. On the night of "stepping on the shed", there will be a "bench play" at the men's house.

Dali Bai folk houses have unique local style and national characteristics. Bai folk houses are mostly closed buildings, and the courtyard wall opposite the main house is usually built as a zhaobi, with a well-proportioned and beautiful appearance. In addition to its exquisite shape, zhaobi also pays great attention to decoration, making zhaobi more elegant and beautiful.

Mosuo style

Mosuo people, called Mosha in ancient times, are one of the indigenous peoples in Ninglang, and their ethnic origin belongs to the ancient nomadic people "Yak Qiang" in China. Due to the special social and geographical environment, Yongning Mosuo people have always maintained unique and magical customs and etiquette. The legendary family and marriage form of Mosuo people along Lugu Lake has become the most mysterious and attractive matriarchal cultural spectacle in this ancient land of the East, forming a confusing and unreachable dream. Pumi and Mosuo children will have a rite of passage when they reach the age of 13.

Lingzhi Mosuo people still retain the marriage form of human matriarchal clan. There are two popular forms of Axia marriage among Mosuo people, namely Axia heterogamy and Axia cohabitation. Mosuo people worship nature, believe in gods, believe in everything in the world, and the quotations are mainly gods, so for a long time, different forms of sacrifice have gradually formed.

The Spring Festival of Mosuo people is divided into big year and small year. Every year 1 1 month 12 is the Lunar New Year. The village drinks and eats meat, dances and revels, and the herdsmen give preferential treatment. The whole family will give the herdsmen gifts such as pork bellies, sausages, eggs and Baba. They also tie red cloth on the tails of livestock to show the New Year. Grazing people go to the mountains for picnics to worship the mountain gods, praying that the mountain gods will bless the beautiful water plants and the prosperous livestock in the coming year. Lunar New Year is on December 30th of the lunar calendar. Two pine trees should be planted in front of the main house in the yard, and pine branches and colored prayer flags should be inserted on the roof. On the dining table, cooked pig heads are offered for ancestor worship, and activities such as wrestling, swinging, singing folk songs and dancing with the gods are held first, and young people should also participate.

Their traditional festival is Zhuanshan Festival. Every year on the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, Mosuo people by the lake will dress up and go to "Goddess Ge Mountain" to worship.

Worship of God

Worship of the Lord is a unique and universal religious belief of the Bai people. "Lord" is the Lord of territory, that is, the patron saint of a village or a certain area.

Bai people's belief in the Lord has a long history. Every year, every village regularly holds a grand festival to worship God, which is one of the main religious activities in the village. It is said that this day is the birthday of the Lord, and the time of sacrifice varies from place to place. The gods worshipped in different places are also different. There are gods worshipped by nature, heroes worshipped as gods, rulers and relatives of Nanzhao and Dali, and generals of Nanzhao.

Folk marriage custom

Marriage in xia

Mosuo people who live near Hukou Lake still follow a custom of "men and women don't get married and divorce". Mosuo called this kind of marriage "xia Marriage" ("xia" means intimate couple). Adult men and women fall in love, and after the two sides establish a "xia" marriage relationship, the man occasionally goes to the woman's house at night and comes back the next day before dawn, so production and life are separated from home. The length of Asha's relationship depends on the feelings of both sides. Women occupy a dominant position in the family in the production and childbirth. Children take their mother's surname and blood relationship is calculated according to their mother. This "matriarchal family" and "Axia marriage" still exist on the earth and are called the living fossils of early human marriage.

Rob or run away from marriage

It was the custom of Naxi nationality in Lijiang before liberation to rob or escape marriage. After falling in love, both men and women have feelings for each other, and they are privately engaged for life, but they are opposed by the woman's parents, or they are worried about being opposed by the woman's parents, so both men and women take the practice of robbing relatives or eloping. In ancient times, part of the reason for robbing or escaping from marriage was that the woman could not get a large amount of dowry because of the difficulties in family life. Of course, this custom no longer exists today.

Pass the ceremony

Mosuo and Pumi children will have an adult ceremony when they are 13 years old. The ceremony will be held in the early hours of New Year's Day, under two pillars under the fire pond in your main house. The column on the right is a female column and the column on the left is a male column. The boy stands under the male column and the girl stands under the female column, with one foot on the pork belly and one foot on the grain bag, symbolizing the inexhaustible grain all year round. The girls wear beautiful clothes, and their mothers serve and decorate them. The boy was stabbed by his uncle with a waist knife. After the bar mitzvah, I am an adult and can participate in various social activities.

Tearing on the wedding night

The Yi wedding in Xiaoliangshan is very special. On the wedding night, a couple will have a fierce tear. The bride should poke with a bamboo stick, grasp the groom with her hands, and leave blood marks on the groom's hands and face to show the bride's chastity and dignity.

18 Yunnan strange

There are many ethnic groups in Yunnan Province, and each ethnic group has its own unique social structure, lifestyle and customs. Eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan, which is widely circulated and has many versions, is also a reflection of Yunnan ethnic customs to some extent.

One version said: "Eggs string grass, rice cakes burn bait, three mosquitoes stir fry, stones grow over the sky, straw hats are taken off as pot covers, and clothes are worn all year round." Many old ladies are skilled in farming. Bamboo tubes can be used as hookahs, pocket ponies can be used as snacks, and grasshoppers can produce good melons and vegetables all year round.
