Which ethnic group has more Jianshui? Which department does it belong to? What is the totem pattern?

Jianshui in the Tang Dynasty was an eastern barbarian land, where the ancestors of the Yi people lived in the world. There are 136,736 Yi people in Jianshui, accounting for 27.97% of the total population, mostly living in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas.

The Yi people in the county call themselves "Nisu" and "Pula". Due to the long-term coexistence with the Han nationality, the Yi people in the north of the county have lost their national costumes and speak Chinese, while the Yi people in the south speak Yi language and keep their national costumes. Yi characters are called "Xi Wen" or "Luo Wen" and "Bimo Wen". There are few existing Yi scripts in the county, which mainly involve astronomy, geography, history, medicine and folk stories. Yi people belong to the Yi branch of Sino-Tibetan Su-Tibetan family.

The Yi people have the habit of eating "dried meat" (chopped fresh meat mixed with pig blood, garlic, pepper and salt). The man was wearing a double-collared double-breasted garment, and his front was covered with a dense Bunyo trip. Unmarried women braid their long hair into a single braid, wrap it around their heads with three sections of red head rope, wrap it in black gauze handkerchief at the front, and expose three strands of red head rope at the back, so it is also called "three red". Married women only wear two strands of red rope in their braided hair.

Most Yi villages are located on sunny slopes or flat hilltops, and their houses are small huts. A few still live in thatched huts that are warm in winter and cool in summer. There is a fire pit in the house for heating and cooking.

Yi people's beliefs mainly include totem worship, nature worship, ghost worship and ancestor worship. Almost all the ancient trees in the village have been designated as "Dragon Tree" and regarded as an inviolable "sacred object". There are activities such as "dragon festival" in the first month and offering sacrifices to "Vulcan" on the first day of the first month.

In addition to celebrating the Spring Festival like the Han nationality, the traditional festivals of the Yi nationality mainly include dragon festival Festival, Torch Festival and lantern custom.

Yi people's lanterns and cigarette box dances, lanterns are local genera and species in the Han area of Yunnan. Jianshui Lantern is a branch of Yunnan Lantern. Jianshui Lantern Music is different from other places because it is integrated into local Yi folk songs and dances. In Baiyun Village and Yangjie Street, the dam areas where the Yi people live in concentrated communities, they absorbed the tunes of Yi folk songs, such as "Shayi tune", "Haicai tune" and "Zaxian tune", while in Tawa Village in the mountainous areas, they absorbed the tunes of "Zuzhu tune", "Siping tune" and "Riverside tune" and developed into typical Yi lanterns, which is the result of long-term cultural exchanges between the Yi and Han peoples. Because the Han Lantern was accepted by the local Yi people after it entered Jianshui, the Yi Lantern artists incorporated the Yi songs into the Lantern in their singing, which formed the characteristics different from the Han Lantern: for example, the Yi people sang and the Han people sang; Chinese lyrics and Yi lining words are mixed; Chinese lyrics are decorated with Yi language empty word; The composition of the band absorbs Yi people's four strings, leaves and other musical instruments.

"Cigarette Box Dance" is a traditional folk dance loved by Yi people in Jianshui and Shiping areas. When dancing, the leader plays the ukulele and dances while playing. The rest of the young men and women pop up cigarette cases, line up in rows and form a circle, and dance with the sound of the ukulele. The dancer holds the cigarette case in both hands, swings back and forth with her shoulders and arms, which has inherent rhyme. She slaps the cigarette case on each bar of the dance music and moves her hands and feet once. In dance, the four strings play the role of introduction and accompaniment. Playing double notes on the strong beat enhances the atmosphere of the dance, and adding decorative notes on the weak beat makes the dance jump more happily. The cigarette case dance music has beautiful tone, clear beat, cheerful rhythm and regular interval flow, giving people a sense of lightness.

The third day of March, the sixth day of June and the ninth day of September in the lunar calendar are auspicious days for women of the Yi and Han ethnic groups to hold temple fairs. When the festival arrives, middle-aged and elderly women of the two ethnic groups, carrying sachets, sounding poles and small leather drums, gather from villages to the temples to worship the mountains. After the pilgrimage, they rang the small leather drum in front of the temple, sang a small tune, and danced the ring pole dance and the flower dance to express their devotion to the gods and express their cheerful mood.
