How do Buyi people spend the sixth day of June in the lunar calendar
When the festival comes, every village will kill chickens and pigs, make triangular flags with self-made paper, dip them with chicken blood or pig blood, and insert them in the crop fields. It is said that if they do so, 'Tianma' (locusts) will not come to eat the crops. On the morning of the festival, several respected old people in the village led young adults to hold traditional activities of sacrificing Pangu and sweeping the village to drive out 'ghosts'. Except for those who participate in the sacrifice, other men, women, old and young, according to the custom of the Buyi Nationality, should wear national clothes, take glutinous rice, chicken, duck, fish meat and water wine, and "hide in the mountain" on the hillside outside the village (known as the ganjunchang by the local Han people). After the sacrifice, the chief priest led everyone to sweep the village to drive away 'ghosts', while the' hiding mountain 'people talked about the past and sang about the present outside the village, and there were various recreational activities.
At sunset, the people of "hiding mountain" sat on the ground one by one, opened the rice baskets, took out delicious wine and meals, and invited each other to be guests. Wait until the "meat division" sounds at the mountain sacrifice God! Split the meat! " People chose strong people and divided them into four groups. They went to the mountain god's sacrifice place to carry back four ox legs, and the rest brought them home. Then each family sent people to the stockade to receive the beef sacrificed to the mountain god. Among the festival entertainment activities, throwing flower bags is the most interesting. The flower bag is made of all kinds of colored cloth, which looks like a pillow and contains rice bran, beans or cotton seeds. The edge of the flower bag is decorated with lace and 'playing beard'. When throwing flower bags, young men and women stand on one side, several meters apart, throwing at each other. The methods include right throw, left throw and overhead throw, but transverse throw is not allowed. It is required to throw far, throw fast and catch firmly. The flower bags fly around in the air. They are very beautiful. If the young man throws the flower bag at his beloved, the bag will fall to the ground without crossing his shoulder. The girl will send a gift to the other party, such as collar, ring, bracelet and so on. The gift will be regarded as a token of love and the young man will keep it for a long time.
