Which ethnic group has more Jianshui? Which department does it belong to? What is the Teng case?

Jianshui in the Tang Dynasty was a barbarian place in the East, where the ancestors of the Yi people lived in the world. Jianshui Yi people 136736, accounting for 27.97% of the total population, mostly live in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas.

Yi people in the county call themselves "Nisu" and "Pula". Due to the long-term coexistence with the Han nationality, the Yi people in the north of the county lost their national costumes and spoke Chinese, while the Yi people in the south spoke Yi language and kept their national costumes. Yi language is called "Xi language" or "Tam" or "Bimo language". There are not many existing Yi languages in the county, mainly involving astronomy, geography, history, medicine and folk stories. Yi people belong to the Yi branch of Sino-Tibetan language family, Su-Tibetan language family.

Yi people have the habit of eating "dried raw" (chopped fresh meat mixed with pig blood, garlic, pepper and salt). This man is wearing a double-collar and double-breasted dress, and his front is covered with dense Bunyo patterns. Unmarried women braid their long hair into a single braid and wrap it around their heads with three pieces of red rope. The front is wrapped with a black gauze handkerchief and the back is exposed with three strands of red rope, so it is also called "three reds". Married women only wear two red ropes in their braids.

Most Yi villages are located on sunny slopes or flat hilltops, and their houses are small huts. A few people still live in thatched cottages which are warm in winter and cool in summer. There is a fire pit in the house, which is used for heating and cooking.

Yi people's beliefs mainly include totem worship, nature worship, ghost worship and ancestor worship. Almost all the ancient trees in the village are designated as "dragon trees" and regarded as inviolable "sacred objects". There are activities such as "Dragon Boat Festival" in the first month and offering sacrifices to Vulcan on the first day of the first month.

Besides celebrating the Spring Festival like the Han people, the traditional festivals of the Yi people mainly include the Dragon Boat Festival, the Torch Festival and the custom of playing lanterns.

Yi people's lanterns, cigarette box dances and lanterns are endemic genera and species in Han areas of Yunnan. Jianshui Lantern is a branch of Yunnan Lantern. Jianshui Lantern Music is different from other places because it is integrated into local Yi folk songs and dances. In Baiyun Village and Yangjie Street in the dam area where the Yi people live in concentrated communities, they have absorbed the tunes of Yi folk songs, such as "Sha Yi Tune", "Haicai Tune" and "Zaxian Tune". In Tawa village in the mountainous area, the Zuzhu tune, Siping tune and Riverside tune were absorbed and developed into typical Yi lanterns, which is the result of long-term cultural exchanges between Yi and Han nationalities. Because the Han Lantern was accepted by the local Yi people after it entered Jianshui, the Yi Lantern artists incorporated the Yi songs into the Lantern in their singing, which formed different characteristics from the Han Lantern: for example, the Yi people sang and the Han people sang; Chinese lyrics are mixed with Yi lyrics; Chinese lyrics are decorated with Yi function words; The composition of the band absorbed the four strings, leaves and other musical instruments of Yi people.

"Cigarette Box Dance" is a traditional folk dance loved by Yi people in Jianshui and Shiping areas. When dancing, the leader played ukulele and danced while playing. The rest of the young men and women pop out cigarette cases, line up in a row and form a circle, dancing with the voice of ukulele. The dancer holds the cigarette case in both hands and swings back and forth with her shoulders and arms, which has an inherent rhythm. She slapped the cigarette case on every bar of the dance music and moved her hands and feet. In dance, four strings play the role of introduction and accompaniment. Playing double notes on the strong beat enhances the atmosphere of the dance, and adding decorative notes on the weak beat makes the dance more cheerful. Cigarette case dance music has beautiful timbre, clear beat, cheerful rhythm and regular interval flow, giving people a sense of lightness.

March 3, June 6 and September 9 of the lunar calendar are auspicious days for Yi and Han women to hold temple fairs. As soon as the meeting started, middle-aged and elderly women of the two ethnic groups gathered from the village to worship the mountain in the temple, carrying sachets, bells and small leather drums. After the pilgrimage, they rang the small leather drum in front of the temple, sang a ditty, and danced pole dancing and flower dancing to express their piety to the gods and their cheerful mood.
