What are the characteristics of the Liangshan Yi people

The main characteristic of the Yi people in Daliangshan is their darker skin. In addition, the Yi people can sing and dance well. There are a variety of traditional tunes in the Yi folklore, such as Climbing the Mountain, Entering the Gate, Welcoming the Guests, Eating Wine, Marrying, and Crying.

Some tunes have fixed words, while some do not, and are improvised. Mountain songs are divided into male and female tones, and each region has its own unique style of mountain songs. Yi musical instruments include the gourd sheng, mabu, bawu, mouth string, moon zither, flute, three strings, chimes, copper drums, and big flat drums.

The Yi dance is also quite distinctive, divided into two categories of dance and solo dance, most of which are group dances, such as the "dancing song", "dancing music", "jumping moon", "Song Dance" and "Pot Zhuang Dance" and so on. The movements are cheerful and rhythmic, usually accompanied by flute, moon zither and sanxian.

Reasons why Yi people in Liangshan and other areas do not celebrate the Spring Festival

First, from the origin. First of all, we can start from the origin, the Yi people mainly from the ancient Qiang people, the Yi ancestors and the distribution of the west of the ancient Qiang people have a close relationship, the course of history, the Yi people and go through the population migration and national integration, during the period of time there have been through the clans, tribes, and tribal alliances, etc., and in modern times also experienced slavery, feudalism and bourgeoisie and other processes, and finally became a part of the new socialist China, that is, the contemporary Yi people.

From the above evolutionary process, because the Yi people are an ethnic minority, and is in the four provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Gui, etc., in ancient times, these areas belonged to the land of the Hundred-Yue, the local people's style of brawny, so there are big differences in the culture of the area with the general area, and the Chinese New Year is the main festival of the Han Chinese nation, so it's not surprising that many ethnic minority festivals are different, and the reason why the Yi people don't have the Spring Festival

Secondly, in the beliefs of this piece. To date, the Yi people have their tribal beliefs, totems, and unique customs and activities, the previous said that the Yi people are not the Spring Festival, it is because of this reason, because the Yi people have their own Yi New Year, the equivalent of our Spring Festival, the Yi New Year, the Yi language, called the "Kush", is a collection of ancestor worship, games and competitions, food and entertainment, clothing system, and so on, a number of folkloric matters of worship and celebration. The first thing that you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you can get your hands on some of the most popular ones.

Of course, here that the Yi people do not Spring Festival is not absolute, because after the founding of new China, the 56 ethnic groups into one big family, for the Spring Festival holidays recognized by everyone, the Yi people are no exception, but also over the red hot, but for the Yi year, this special holiday, in the heart of the old generation of Yi people, there may still be a fairly important significance.

Every traditional culture is our precious heritage, and symbolizes the historical and cultural heritage of the Chinese family, which should be respected, cherished, understood and protected.
