Enshi Tujia people have a very special custom called "spreading Ye Er". When can I use it?

In Enshi Tujia nationality, there is an ancient custom called "Sa Ye Er Ho", which has a long history and is even included in the national intangible cultural heritage. This shows that "Sa Ye Er" is unusual.

"Ye Er" is a sacrificial dance. As the name implies, when someone in the clan dies, there will be mourners. These people will be divided into several groups, singing and dancing in the mourning hall. For us, it is simply unimaginable, but it is indeed a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years by Tujia people in Enshi, which is in line with their historical development.

In fact, I can also see that the family members unearthed are uninhibited and their styles are also very rough and wild, which is in line with the style of a place. In addition, there are records of "spreading Ye Er well" in all kinds of literary and historical classics, which more effectively proves the role of "spreading Ye Er well".

From ancient times to the present, "Sa Ye Er" is a traditional ritual song and dance, and villagers will gather in front of the mourning hall for activities all night.

Because for Enshi Tujia people, life is changeable, and life and death are rich in the sky. This kind of life and death is natural in Shunyi. Tujia people have understood this truth since ancient times.

Therefore, in Enshi Tujia people, no matter who they are, regardless of their status or gender differences, as long as they are a group, they will dance "Ye Er ho" and carry out all-night activities. This outlook on life is really rare!

In fact, from "Sa Ye Er River", we look at Tujia people in Enshi, and we really admire Tujia people's indifferent attitude towards life and death, which many people in the world do not have. Even in the face of life and death, they keep their attitude.
