Why do the Yi people celebrate the New Year in the tenth month of the lunar calendar? Why is the Yi New Year in the tenth month of the lunar calendar?
The Yi New Year is called "Ku Shi" in Liangshan Yi language, which means New Year. The Yi people usually celebrate the New Year in the tenth month of the lunar calendar. Why is that? The tenth month of the lunar calendar is the first month of winter every year, which means the arrival of winter. Come to Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn about the relevant content of the tenth month of the lunar calendar in 2018!Why does the Yi New Year fall in the tenth month of the lunar calendar?In the Yi ethnic group's concept of time and space, the northernmost end point is generally taken as the starting point. After the sun's sunset point moves south to the southernmost end in winter, it will no longer move south, but will move north again after staying there for a few days. This endpoint is called "Bugu", which means "the point where the sun turns back". Then in summer, the sun's setting point moves to the northernmost point, and no longer moves north but returns to the south. This point is called "Bujiu", which means "the point of sun return". After that, it moved gradually southward to its southernmost point. A round trip from the northernmost point to the southernmost point is one year. This time is around the winter solstice--------summer solstice--------winter solstice. The Yi New Year is usually celebrated during the winter solstice, "Bujiu". According to research, some high-altitude areas such as Yuexi, Zhaojue, Hanyuan, etc. celebrated the October of the Gregorian calendar in the past. However, some areas such as Xichang, Xide, Mianning, Huili, Miyi, Yanbian, Yanyuan, Muli and Ninglang, Yongsheng, Huaping and Yongren counties in Yunnan regard the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month as the first day of the New Year. For example, the Yi people have holidays from November 20 to 26 in the Gregorian calendar, which means that after the National Day, it is the New Year for the Yi people. The Yi people select their annual festivals according to the Yi calendar. Some celebrate the Spring Festival together with the local Han people. In some areas, the Yi people plant green pines in front of their doors and spread pine needles on the ground to avoid disasters and misfortunes. In some areas, people slaughter pigs and sheep and eat meat during festivals. People visit each other and give each other meat and steamed buns. On the morning of New Year's Day, the first thing to do is to fetch water home. They compare the weight of a bowl of water with yesterday's water. If the New Year's water is heavier, it means there will be plenty of rain in the coming year. |
