Its theme has always been the eulogy of human life reproduction and the hope for the ideal life of the ethnic group. Therefore, it has become an important angle for studying the cultural history and ideological history of the Yi nationality. In other words, as a grand traditional festival, the Yi Torch Festival is permeated with a "carnival-like" folk spirit and conveys a simple concept of life and attitude towards life. Furthermore, the Torch Festival is not only a traditional festival of the Yi ethnic group. As a regional inheritance of the folk culture of the southwestern ethnic groups, it also has a very long history among other Yi-speaking ethnic groups such as the Naxi, Hani, Lisu, Lahu, and Jino. The formation and development of the Torch Festival customs among these ethnic groups, on the one hand, are directly related to the native worship, folk beliefs and local religions of each ethnic group; on the other hand, they are also closely related to the historical origins, cultural heritage and social interactions of these ethnic groups, especially the Yi-speaking ethnic groups. It constitutes the rich and colorful "Southwest Cultural Zone" of our country. |
