? Every year from February 20th to 25th, 12 is the traditional festival of Lisu people in Nujiang-the Broad Season. This festival is comparable to the Spring Festival of the Han nationality!
? When the rich season comes, Lisu men, women and children will wear bright national costumes, and many women will also wear the most precious ornaments at home, adding a gorgeous national color to the festival.
According to the past custom, in this bumper year, every household should brew glutinous rice and glutinous corn to brew mellow coarse wine, and pray for a bumper harvest and happiness in the coming year. On this day, every family will put a little bit of the first indica rice cake on peach and pear trees, so as to have a good life in the coming year.
According to the custom, you can't eat in other people's homes on this day, otherwise it will disappear like the legendary moon. So that night, every family member can't be outside, and the whole family will get together for a reunion dinner.
In the ancient legend of Lisu people, it is the dog who brought the seeds of grain to the world, so Lisu people should first offer the dog a bowl of rice, a piece of glutinous rice and a piece of meat to show their gratitude to the dog.
The harvest period will last at least three days. During this period, there will be a national performance. "Going up the knife mountain" means choosing 72 sharp steel knives, fixing them tightly on two bamboo poles with bamboo pieces, tying them into a "knife ladder" and standing on the flat ground to fix them. Barefoot Lisu men, stepping on steel knives, climbed to the top of the ladder step by step, performed various movements on it, took off the flag at the top of the pole, and then stepped down step by step, with their feet intact.
In the evening, we will light a fire on the venue, jump up and "scratch" and sing "leaves". When the firewood turns into red charcoal, the brave Lisu people will slowly walk barefoot through the burning charcoal pile.
Many people watched the performance of "Up the Mountain and Down the Sea of Fire", which not only made them feel jumpy, but also deeply impressed by our courage.
The "rich season" of Lisu people is so colorful and desirable!
