Buyi nationality is a branch of Baiyue in ancient China, and its language belongs to Zhuang-Dai branch of Zhuang-Dong language family of Sino-Tibetan language family. I didn't have my mother tongue before, so I always used Chinese. 1956, the people's government created the Latin alphabet for the Buyi people. The culture and art of Buyi nationality are colorful. Folk oral literature includes myths, legends, stories, fables, proverbs and poems. Traditional dances include bronze drum dance, weaving dance, lion dance and sugar bag dance. Traditional musical instruments include suona, Qin Yue, flute, konoha and flute. Di Opera and Lantern Opera are the favorite operas of Buyi people.
Buyi people are mainly engaged in agriculture, mainly planting rice. Men like to wear double-breasted jackets, trousers and headscarves, while women wear right-breasted dresses, trousers or pleated skirts, and silver bracelets, earrings, collars and other jewelry. Cloth woven by farmers themselves has long enjoyed a good reputation. In recent years, enterprises specializing in the production of Buyi brocade, batik cloth and national craft clothing have been established one after another, and their products are exported to Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe and America.
Buyi people like to live together by mountains and rivers. Generally, there are more than a dozen or dozens of households in a village, ranging from hundreds to hundreds. There are "dry fence" buildings, bungalows and slate houses, the most distinctive of which is slate houses.
Buyi people worship their ancestors, mainly believing in polytheism and nature worship, and some believing in Catholicism and Christianity. In addition to the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, traditional festivals include February 2nd, March 3rd, April 8th and Ox King Festival, and the biggest festival is June 6th of the lunar calendar.
At the end of 1949, most Buyi areas were liberated, and by March of 1959, the whole Buyi area was liberated. 1On August 8, 956, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture was established. This was followed by Guizhou Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County (1September 9631kloc-0/), Guizhou Ziyun Miao Buyi Autonomous County (1February 9661) and Guizhou Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous County (/kloc-0)
Daily eating habits? Buyi people used to eat two meals in their leisure time and three meals in busy farming time. The daily staple food is mainly rice. Fresh rice is generally processed from rice into rice, and now it is eaten. By the river or where there is a stream, rice is ground into rice with a water mill and then processed into rice. People like to steam rice into rice with a special cooker "Naozi". Buyi people generally like to eat glutinous rice, which is often used as a staple food to improve their lives or adjust their tastes. When processing glutinous rice, the glutinous rice is generally soaked in water and steamed, and then kneaded into round or rectangular Baba while it is hot for storage or eating, among which the sesame oil ball Baba is the most distinctive. In addition to rice and glutinous rice, baogu is also one of the daily staple foods. When eating, most of them will be ground into small particles, mixed with rice and cooked into two-in-one rice, and some will be ground into paste, and glutinous rice will be wrapped into rice cakes for frying or steaming cooked food. Buyi people have many traditional snacks, especially Buyi people living in Yunnan, who are good at making rice noodles, bait slices, pea powder, rice cakes and so on. Buyi people's daily dishes are also rich and colorful, such as cold dishes, "moss frozen meat" and "bean jelly" that Buyi people like to eat. Sauerkraut and sour soup are almost essential for every meal, especially for women. There are also blood tofu, sausages, and flavored dishes made of dried fresh bamboo shoots and various insects. Buyi people are mostly good at making pickles, bacon and lobster sauce, and the unique folk pickle "hydrochloric acid" is famous at home and abroad. Among the meat dishes, dog meat, dog enema and beef soup pot are the top dishes. When the Buyi people kill pigs, it is customary to put some salt in the blood basin first, and then stir it with pig blood. After solidification, add chopped green onion and seasoning, and add minced meat into water to cook with pig blood, which is called "Huoxue" hospitality. Wine plays an important role in the daily life of Buyi people. After the autumn harvest every year, every household will brew a lot of rice wine and store it for drinking all year round. ?
Festivals, rituals, sacrifices and eating customs? The biggest festival of Buyi people in a year is the Spring Festival. From New Year's Eve to the 15th. Before New Year's Eve, we should kill Nianzhu, cook glutinous rice and prepare all kinds of vegetables. Buyi people in Yunnan have the habit of being vegetarian from the first day to the third day; Buyi people in Sichuan eat chicken porridge every New Year's Eve or the first day of junior high school. It is said that this custom originated from the determination of some Buyi people in Guizhou to avoid officers and soldiers during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. Then everyone cuts the chicken into pieces and cooks porridge with blood rice. The whole village, men, women and children, ate the last reunion dinner, went their separate ways and agreed to meet each other later. Only those who can tell the origin of eating chicken porridge can recognize their home. Each surname has a different pre-dinner ceremony, and the pre-dinner ceremony of both parties must be exactly the same. Many entertainment activities will be held during the New Year, and the "Flower Jumping Party" will be held every year from the first day to the 21st day of the first month. "Flower Jumping Party" is a social activity for young men and women, with a large scale and over a thousand participants. Many unmarried young men and women order lifelong songs by blowing leaves, and then men can find a matchmaker to intercede at the woman's house. Once engaged, the woman's family should invite relatives and friends to have engagement wine. Two or three days before the wedding, the man's family will send half a piece of pork, a chicken, a duck and a pot of water to the woman's family, and the woman's family will also kill pigs to hold a "wedding banquet" for the guests. In the past, after marriage, the bride had to live in her parents' house for one or two years before she could live in her husband's house. Buyi people in Guizhou like to use yellow cattle as food to prevent weddings and funerals. Buyi people are generous and hospitable, which is characterized by that during the Maple Leaf Festival on February 3 (or March 13) every year, many Buyi people dye glutinous rice with various plant pigments such as Liquidambar formosana leaves, and make it into flower glutinous rice to entertain guests and distribute it to relatives and friends. Buyi people like to drink, and even later they like to entertain guests with wine. No matter how much the guests drink, as long as they arrive, they always take the wine first. This is called "welcome wine". When drinking, use a bowl, not a cup, guess boxing and sing. If you are a distinguished guest, or a close relative, such as an uncle or aunt, you should also kill the dog and chicken to show respect. In Wangmo, Guizhou, dogs are killed on the third day of March every year. Buyi people used to believe in primitive nature worship and held sacrificial activities every year, among which the house for the elderly (village god) was the most grand. In the second month of the lunar calendar, every household will offer eggs and pork as a sacrifice to the gods, so that the whole village can have a meal on the spot after the sacrifice, hoping for a bumper harvest and peace in the whole village.
