What are the characteristics of Dong's' Weiye 'custom
'Weiye' is a transliteration of Dong language, which means being a guest. But this kind of guest is not an ordinary guest, but a collective guest who visits each other between villages. The local Chinese language is called 'eating local food'. It is generally carried out in spring or after autumn. It is the largest social and entertainment activity in Dong township. The scale varies, ranging from 20-30 people to more than 100 people. Men, women, young and old can participate. They should take the song team, troupe, Lusheng team and chanters of the village. The guest village will post to the main village in advance. The main village will accept the post, and the two sides will agree on the date. Each household in the main stronghold shall be ready for reception, and the guest stronghold shall organize a team and make preparations before departure. The "Weiye" teams in Liping, Rongjiang and Congjiang, Guizhou are mainly song teams or theatrical troupes. When the guests came to the main stronghold, the girls of the main stronghold stopped the stronghold door with scarecrows, cloth or benches, looms, buckets and other items and sang a road blocking song.
After the two sides exchanged answers, they greeted the guests with artillery, slaughtered pigs and cattle, and received them with hospitality. " During the "Weiye" period, the whole village became a cultural and entertainment stage, and carried out activities such as singing songs, singing operas and bullfighting. When the guests left, each girl took out several self-woven handkerchiefs and hung them on bamboo poles as gifts to the guests. We also need to wrap glutinous rice with fish for lunch on the way. Most of the "Weiye" teams in Sanjiang, Guangxi bring Lusheng team. Lusheng team members wore feather flower clothes with chicken tails in their heads. When passing other villages, play the "crossing song" and don't enter the village. When approaching the main stronghold, play the song of entering the stronghold. The Lusheng team of the main village played the welcome song to welcome the guests. After entering the village, the host and guest teams entered guluoping to compete with Lusheng. After the game, the Lusheng team and other guests gathered on the drum tower terrace. When the master of the main stronghold gave an order, the hosts rushed into the terrace to 'rob customers'. They snatched the chicken tail from the guest's head, and the guest came home and had a feast. We'll play Lusheng the next day. In some places, activities such as stepping on Song halls, duels and martial arts competitions will also be held. Celebrate 3-5 days. Before parting, we should hold a village wide banquet on the drum tower or wind and rain bridge. During the banquet, one host and one guest each gave a speech and chanted the words and hymns.
