The mitiaolu festival of Ewenki people

Ewenki people hold the "mitiaolu Festival" on a special day in late May of the lunar calendar. " 'mi Tiao Lu 'means celebrating the harvest of the people. During the festival, people should wear costumes, and men should carry out horse mane and tail cutting activities. At that time, herdsmen's families should prepare rich wine and meat to entertain relatives and friends. Mikuolu Festival is a harvest festival for Ewenki herdsmen in the morgele River Basin of Hulunbuir grassland. In the middle and late May of each year, Ewenki people who are busy with lambing and livestock keeping gather happily to celebrate the annual harvest festival.

A series of production activities will be carried out on the Mikuru Festival, mainly including branding horses, removing bad teeth, cutting ears, cutting manes and cutting lambs.

First, start from the end of 'nemore' (i.e. grazing group). First, set up a two-year-old horse from the horses and put it down. Some people cut their mane and tail with scissors, and some people cut their ears with knives. At this time, the owner of the horse burned his own animal mark red and branded it on the left span of the horse. The cut mane shall be collected by the livestock owner, and the cut ear block shall be counted and saved by the livestock owner. In the sheepfold, the ewes were all let out to eat grass, leaving only a full circle of lambs. The shepherds cut the male lamb (castration pill) and cut the female lamb's ears with their own style notches (the sheep notches of each family are different to show the difference).

On the mikulu Festival, the old people also gave their relatives (such as nephews, nephews, daughters, etc.) mother lambs, wishing the younger generation more sheep. Finally, each family held a banquet. At the beginning of the banquet, it is generally carried out according to the Ewenki people's habit of tea before wine. The toast day starts from the chief round, that is, the host and hostess hold a wooden plate, put two wine glasses in the plate, and give in turn. One week after the toast round, the host took out a 'hada' to thank the cutting potential people. On the same day, he solemnly explained to everyone the breeding number of young animals in the new year. Everyone congratulated the master and wished him a prosperous livestock. The number marked with cutting power increased with the age.

In fact, the Ewenki people's two festivals (mikuoqin Festival and mitiaolu Festival) actually have many similar customs. They are actively preparing for animal husbandry life and send their best wishes to relatives and friends!
