Local customs and practices

Happy event pot-Qiang people like to jump into the happy event pot when celebrating the New Year, holding weddings or getting together with relatives and friends. Everyone sang and danced all night, so it was lively. Happy Pot Village includes traditional wedding dances such as ritual dance, congratulations dance, agricultural festival dance and game pot village. _

In the traditional Qiang wedding, first of all, the song and dance experts in the village each form a 12 person's "welcome" (man) and "maid of honor" (woman). On the wedding day, no matter whether it is hot or cold, when the wedding guests approach the village entrance, the bridesmaids will mercilessly pour the clean water already prepared on the wedding guests to prevent them from entering the village until the wedding guests hand over the "village entrance ceremony". After entering the village, a "just lunch" (Qiang language) ceremony was held, and the guests who greeted the wedding gave speeches on the origin of human beings and the love process of the couple. After the speech, the banquet began, and the naughty bridesmaids replaced the chopsticks on the table with straw, so that the guests who greeted the wedding could not eat while seeing the food and wine. The glib bridesmaids also improvised words, sang and danced, and added firewood to the fireplace, making them sweat and lose their minds. In the laughter of all, the relatives and friends of the woman (must be married women) danced a lyrical and beautiful "ritual dance". These women are wearing red skirts and belts, standing in a semicircle formation in front of the fireplace, singing the cheerful song "It's getting hot in the west", wishing everyone prosperity and harmony. Dancers in pairs grab each other's red leather belts, shake their upper bodies in broken steps, and then dance in turn. Its action characteristics are that the upper body does not move and the waist turns to the crotch. There are still "ritual dances" in the Acropolis in Chibi Soviet Area of Maowen County (the center of the ancient "South Water" Qiang Department) and Qiang Village in Yao Ping of Lixian County (once the center of the ancient "White Dog Qiang Department). According to legend, "ritual dance" was performed by an ancient witch when she presided over the ceremony, and later evolved into a female song and dance, but it still retained the characteristics of breaking steps and turning hips. The morning after the wedding, the bridesmaids dressed up and sang "Dressing Song", and then a young man of the same age carried the bride out of the village. The bride, dressed in red, with a red umbrella and riding a fine horse, walked to the groom's house in a mighty way, surrounded by bridesmaids and wedding guests. After the ceremony and banquet, the song and dance began again. " Congratulatory dance is a kind of dance danced by friends and relatives at the banquet. The lyrics are simple and the content is closely related to marriage. At the beginning of the dance, most of the right foot steps in front of the left foot once or twice, which is called "one step" or "two steps".

Weddings are inseparable from wine, including wine dance with wine as the theme, imitating peacock style and lively movements. Throughout the year, in different farming seasons, the Qiang people also like to dance the Pot Village Dance, also known as the "Agricultural Festival Dance". The "No Child Festival" held in autumn (the first day of October) is popular among some Qiang people such as "Nanshui". On that day, men all wore women's red skirts, sang songs and danced all day in the mountains with feathers in their hands to welcome the singing fairy and pray for disaster. The "Russian Covenant Correction" Festival is held on the first day of May, praying for the mountain gods not to hail or cause floods, which means praying for the New Year and wishing it a new year. During the festival, you should jump in the "busy before god" pot, and bend over and clap your hands around your feet. On the fifth day of May, Duanyang Festival is an important festival in Qiang villages around Lixian County, mainly to worship mountain gods. On that day, the "Vashawa Sticking Feet" dance will be performed. When jumping, your feet step left and right alternately, your arms are stretched horizontally, and you dance up and down with your feet, just like an eagle spreading its wings and flying. Qiang villages in Puxi area will dance "all rice" pot dance on the night of the twelfth lunar month. When the guests came to Zhailou, the host offered highland barley wine, and then men and women faced each other and danced with rolling pins, making them feel extremely happy.

Game color pot dance is also called "game pot field", such as the game pot field in Kaziqiang Village. Dancers stand hand in hand in a horizontal row. After the leader leads everyone around, everyone drills into the armpits of the second and third people in turn, puts their hands on their right shoulders, and then walks around, starting from the third and fourth people under their armpits until everyone puts their hands on their shoulders, just like a chain, and then comes back. When jumping, one step at a time, laughter is endless. _

Due to the different geographical spread, the style and characteristics of Happy Pot Village also have their own characteristics. There are 25 kinds of common pot dances in Maowen County, many of which praise their mothers and love them less. The dance is held outdoors, and the scene is so big that everyone in the village can participate. Because of the different dance contents and forms, the formation changes greatly. When dancing, stand in two rows and dance with each other. The action is "double flip", also called "how strong", that is, turning left and right; "Four-corner flip" is also called "provoking Yingbo", that is, flipping and jumping in four directions; "Three-way jump" is also called "coming down from the west", that is, jumping forward from left to right. From the names of these movements, we can see the characteristics of this dance. In addition, there are many names of musical dance, such as In the Mountains, Laisuo and Beibei Suo, all of which are happy refrain in dance. Chidona Yimaka in Chibu Soviet Area of Maowen County has a unique webbed leg movement with his left foot in a lower position in the whole pot dance. When dancing, he stood hand in hand in a horizontal row. When his right foot stepped down, his left foot webbed his legs at a lower position, and his hips swayed because he kept stepping on his legs. There are more than 20 kinds of pot dances in Wenchuan and Lixian, such as "Green Vegetable Flower", "Cabbage Flower", "Excellent Suit", "muxi" and "Zhou Zhou Lai", which are closely related to productive labor and agricultural harvest. For example, the "sieve" of Xuechengguo Village in Lixian County is displayed on the threshing floor. When people sift the wheat and dust, they think of plenty of food and clothing, as if they heard the "tinkling" sound of shovels in the kitchen. The "corn turn" in Jiashanguo Village is also related to the harvest. In short, the pots and pans in Wenchuan County and Lixian County are shaking, like patting their wings or feet, cheerful and cheerful; Katz pot contains special elasticity; There is also a humorous pot, which is characterized by teasing the feet, such as turning the knees inward and extending the left hand above the left foot. When the palm is up, the left foot is slightly raised.

Worried about Guo Zhai-Qiang people attach great importance to funeral ceremonies, which are very old. "Zhou Weizhi" in the Ming Dynasty recorded: "When people die, they must sit on the wooden frame of granary, dressed in bow and scrape. When they curse, they will offer pigs and sheep and then burn them. " On the funeral night of the Qiang people, the movements and names of jumping in Youguo Village are different from place to place. Longxi's "Nankansuo" is mainly one-legged jumping, that is, when the left foot kicks forward, the right foot lightly jumps in the same place and then changes the foot. When jumping, clap your hands from bottom to chest. Sasa in Yanmen Township, Wenchuan has a set of standardized dance steps. We can't use the solemnity of Han people's habits to understand the music and dance in the troubled pot village, such as "Sassa" with lively melody and brisk movements. The lyrics of "Troubled Pot Village" are simple in content, or express mourning feelings, or recall the feelings of the deceased who took care of their children before his death.

Witchcraft Dance-Before liberation, except for some Qiang people in neighboring Tibetan areas who believed in Lamaism, others generally believed in animism and regarded the white stone on the roof as a god. According to legend, the ancestors of the Qiang people moved to Minshan from the north because of a war defeat, and had a big battle with the local indigenous clan Geji, a hunting clan, which was strong and good at fighting and repeatedly defeated the Qiang people. When the Qiang people were ready to act, God gave the leaders a dream, asking them to use hard white stones and wooden sticks as weapons and hang wool around their necks as a sign. So the Qiang people did it, defeated the Geji people after a bloody battle, and settled down from then on. In order to thank God, Baishi became the highest god of Qiang people. Qiang people call wizards "Xu" and Baishi "Russian Xu", and wizards are the media connecting Qiang people with gods. _

Qiang people have been passed down from generation to generation as witches, and most of them have to take part in labor. During the festival, villagers ask wizards to recite epic poems, pray for the villagers to exorcise ghosts (such as "returning yak's wish"), and pray for rain in times of drought. All belong to the function of witches. The practices of Qiang wizards are all embodied through dance. "Yak Wish" is usually held for three to five days in July of the lunar calendar. It is said that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xuecheng area in Lixian County was quite popular. This ancient custom still existed in the early days of liberation. At that time, the leading wizard would wear vestments and hats, with a sheepskin drum in his left hand, beating rhythmically, sometimes bending over and jumping, and sometimes squatting down and jumping; People hold spears, knives, muskets and sticks high, walk around the stockade with the rhythm of drums under the guidance of wizards, and then gather in Qiangzhai Square to kill cows and sacrifice to the gods. Then the crowd beat drums and danced. Since liberation, the Qiang people have gradually got rid of the shackles of religious superstitions, and the activity of holding "yak wishing" has disappeared.

Qiang people pay special attention to funerals. Zhuangzi once said: "When the Qiang people die, they will burn to ashes." . "Lu Chunqiu Reward Righteousness" once recorded: "People who are afraid of Qiang do not worry about their death, but do not burn them." It can be seen that the funeral of the Qiang nationality has a long tradition of giving priority to fire sacrifices. In ancient times, fire was a symbol of life, and cremation meant that the soul was immortal and life lived forever. According to the custom of Qiang people, a three-day funeral will be held after death, which is more grand for wealthy families. Wizards will be invited to host. On the first day of the funeral, Ye Long will be danced; The next day, I will dance Moldasha and Sunfall. On the third day, a grand funeral dance will be held to commemorate the dead in the form of a military ceremony. This ceremony originated from the expedition ceremony of the ancient Qiang people, meaning to mourn the meritorious soldiers and boost the morale of the people. It was presided over by an army wizard. He took a crossbow in his hand, hung two bronze bells on his shoulders, and put straw and pheasant feathers on his leather helmet to lead the team to jump. Now this dance has been lost. The funeral dance is divided into three parts: the funeral song at the beginning of the funeral; Two armor dances; Three funeral songs after burial. _

Qiang witch dance has the following forms: _

First, skin encouragement. This is the main dance of Qiang witches. Generally, two people dance, one with a short ge in front and the other with a drum (the right hand holds a drumstick while holding a hoop plate, and the left hand holds a single-sided drum). According to the custom of Qiang people, when people are sick or hold a funeral after death, they should jump off their skin to show encouragement, and they must be led by a wizard, and all relatives and friends should attend. The action habit of drumming is from right to left, and then from left to right, which is called "playing on both sides" The speed changes from slow to fast, gradually increasing the movements of squatting and jumping forward. Some wizards have to play with tornadoes in the same place, which is very wonderful. It is said that there are as many as 108 kinds of jumping drums. The main steps of skin encouragement are "squatting and catwalking" (one foot is in front, which makes people feel as if the front foot is holding the back foot), "jumping on both sides" (the left foot jumps to the left front side, and the right foot immediately approaches it and stands on tiptoe, and the feet alternate), "walking with the knees relaxed" (the right foot moves forward, then the knees relax, and the feet alternate, due to the special dynamics of slight knee jitter). _

Second, cat dance. Qiang people believe that cats can eliminate pests for agriculture and respect cats. It belongs to the ritual witch dance during the Agricultural Festival. Dance movements mostly imitate the shape of a cat, and squatting, jumping, turning and flapping are quite sensitive. There is also the shape of standing on one leg, arms bent and fingers open like claws, which exaggerates and deifies the image of a cat. _

Third, jump "Malone". This witch dance is popular in Wenchuan area. It is danced by a wizard alone, holding a delicate faucet in his hand and using a thick hemp rope more than 20 feet long as the dragon body. In the dance, the dragon head is raised, the dragon tail is popped up, and the long hemp rope flies around, which is unique and spectacular. To make Malone dance fluent and dexterous, it is more difficult to have both arm strength and dexterity, not to mention that the wizard shakes the long rope on the basis of squatting and jumping. Dragon jumping may be related to the garrison in the vast Qiang area during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, the garrison troops were all Han Chinese, who brought the culture and customs of the mainland to the Qiang area. Dragon jumping may have evolved from the absorption of dragon dancing in Han areas in this situation.

Fourth, armor dance. The armor dance in the funeral dance is a sacrificial dance in the military ceremony, which consists of two parts: expedition and victory song. In the expedition part, there were shouts of "hey, hey" threatening the enemy; In the triumph part, there are lyrics of "the whole village soldiers are back after winning the battle". In armor-piercing dance, the dancers face each other in two rows, holding "crossbows" or "ge" in their hands, and their steps are like offensive and defensive on the battlefield, mainly jumping on both sides (the left foot jumps one step to the left and the right foot points to the side alternately). The second step is the side dance of shrug, accompanied by a hop jump. The third is to hold the weapon in your hand and stretch it forward to kill. Opposing dances advance and retreat with broken steps, accompanied by songs. When Mao Wen Sanlong danced this dance, the two men wore bearskin in addition to helmets and armor, and led the dance among the two opposite dancers. There are two bells hanging on their shoulders, and they jingle when dancing. The main step is the broken step. These two people are actually images of ancient wizards presiding over the big burial ceremony.

The bottom floor is square, with a side length of 7.38 meters and a height of 4.43 meters. 65,438+02 outer columns and 4 inner columns divide the space into three depth columns and three width columns. The inner and outer columns are square, and the four sides are curved, and the square Xumishan stone pillar foundation. Outside the building, there are stone railings. Stone railings, piles and fences are all square, and the top of the column is a lotus petal stone bead on Sumeru. The second floor is 3.60 meters high, with a square hall in the middle and a side length of 3.64 meters. The walls around and the billboards at the top are painted with stories of various characters, most of which are Li Deyu's stories about preparing for the border, such as discussing military affairs, training, mountains and rivers, and so on. There are three big square windows around the hall, and there is a wooden fence outside the hall to walk.

Looking out from the railing, the green hills are like flowers and picturesque, and the breeze blows the picture scroll, which makes people cry. Frontier architecture is not only a historical witness of the confrontation between Tang and Fan, but also a symbol of local people's aversion to war and love for peace. Now it is a provincial cultural protection unit.

There are 98 households in the village. Tao Ping Qiangzhai has completely retained the characteristics of the ancient Qiang nationality, with its back facing the mountains and water, and its layout is compact and complete. When you walk into Tao Ping, you will see the ancient Qiang folk houses with thousands of years' history. These buildings are all made of stone, high and low, rising and falling. Walking into Tao Ping is like walking into a deep and shallow maze, so Tao Ping is called "mysterious oriental castle". The tallest building in Tao Ping is the Qiang Carving, which is a landmark building in Tao Ping and is mainly used to defend against the enemy. The ancient pagoda, like a sword, goes straight into the sky, with strong visual impact. In the Qiang people's gathering area, there is such a watchtower at regular intervals, connecting villages and villages hundreds of miles away. Once the enemy is found, smoke will be released immediately, and the information of war will soon spread hundreds of miles away. These towers have become the unique cultural landscape of Qiangzhai in Tao Ping.

The house here is called Zhuangfang, and it is called Wozhe in Qiang nationality. These houses are all made of rubble and mud, four or five stories high and have scientific functional distribution. The lower floor is used for raising livestock such as pigs and sheep, the middle floor is used as a stove and living room, the top floor is used for stacking food and sundries, and the roof is used for grinding and drying food. This kind of house is made of local materials, economical and practical, warm in winter and cool in summer, and has a long life, which can generally last for four or five hundred years. The bricklaying system of Zhuang houses is an important symbol of Qiang people's transformation from nomadic people to agricultural people, and this technology is the specialty of Qiang craftsmen and has great influence throughout Aba Prefecture.

It is amazing that the underground water supply system made by Qiang people is a great pioneering work of ancient Chinese architecture. Its underground waterways are not iron pipes, rubber pipes and wooden pipes, but huge bluestone slabs made from local materials.
