Dance of Love (Lugu Lake Travel Notes 4)
---- Notes from the five Lugu Lake Lugu Lake River Mosuo people are the indigenous people, they do not know what lived here many years. They have their own unique way of life, ethnic customs and language, but China's 56 ethnic groups does not include their "Moso tribe" this title. Some people say that they are sub-Naxi only, while others said they were of Mongolian descent.
In Bo Shue Estate, home visits, I've met two cars, a simple girl of Moso.
Two cars at home is a typical residential Moso. Opposite the door is through the floor, on the left is a legal wife (grandmother room), the right is a flower floor, here is animal stables. 2 car cousin, let us into the principal room, sitting around the Huotang Bian, Mary Sullivan to us give it a wine, I drank it, I just feel throat show tonight. 2 car side to peanuts: "own the ground long, try it!" Jumping the flames roasted hot hot face, the heart filled with warm current - the feeling of home health by, however.
Now houses the walls of all four walls of the Buddhist murals, the wall above Yibi enshrines a benign countenance of the Buddha, relying on the following Yibi wall stood an ancient style of the wooden bed, two cars, said: "That was her sleep the grandmother is the oldest woman at home. " Looked at her grandmother bed, and then take a look at Zheng-wang was burning fireplace too, I think, not because of the cold winters in the lake only then the best grandmother in need of care arrangements where they go then? Mosuo people have a good care for the young tradition.
A sister, two cars, said: "This is just one reason, the other is a woman we are headed Mosuo. Home of the most capable women called 'Darboux', in charge of the family property, income and expenditure and allocation of work. We are Darboux family is my mother. "
2 car cousin, said: "The two cars is likely to be the future of the Darboux."
"But the two cars that my brother was head of her earnings and great, he will listen to two cars?" I have a question.
2: "A heavenly Jade Emperor, the ground Mosuo uncle. Mosuo people we are very respected uncle. Darboux while in charge of the property, but the uncle in charge of the ritual."
At this time, I discovered that there are two identical cylinder inside. 2 car told us that it was cut down to a tree, and one called the M columns, a column called the woman. When the children grow up to nine or 13 years old, will be held here on New Year's Day "into the Lai-Lei Ting," men and boys standing in pre-column, the girl standing on female pre-column, foot Zhu Biaorou, stood next to food, that in future affluence. By the mother for taking off their body gown, put on pants or a skirt, and then blessed by the monks chanting.
The frescoes from the house view, should be the Mosuo people believe in Tibetan Buddhism. Two cars, said: Here Lama was very much respected. Mosuo people in three important celebration "The name ceremony" "into the Lai-Lei Ting," "funeral" should be invited to preside over Lama. The naming ceremony in my lama gave me the name to take two cars. The village people have called me, I have a name Jiao Eling, only the teacher was so called.
Then behind me sounded a baby's crying, one and two car-sized over the child pick up the girls. I suddenly asked her: "You take the marriage it?" She said, embarrassed hung his head: "This is the secret secret." "But my brother, but take the marriage prince!" Two cars lifted his head proudly said. "He passed the number of marriage?" I asked curiously. "106." "Really?" "" I do not dare to ask him, but everybody else said so. "
Do not know if two cars are true or false?
From the two car companies come out, just to see two cars older brother Lee, head of Direct Support is the village head and the calculation that day how much total revenue. I heard that everyone rowing, Qian Ma, dancing earn are shared equally, from the Spring Festival to now almost all points of each household has more than 13,000 yuan. I think the Lee family's money should be directly supported the property of his mother control it, after about two Che Kwun go bar! On this thing, I asked Lee straight sticks. His answer is who is governing the same, anyway, money is at home. He said: "As a team leader, I have more important things to do. It is only to engage in the village of travel up, everyone's life really better."
The time is noon, late autumn sun generous sprinkle on this piece of land, hillside, roofs, courtyards everywhere floating streamer. This is a peaceful world. Mosuo people heard that the war never happened, either because of physical or love.
This is really a great harmony!
