The fire festival of Ewenki nationality
Ewenki people mostly believe in Shamanism, while residents in pastoral areas also believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and most people believe in polytheism.
Ewenki people respect fire as God. No matter at home or in the wild, you don't need anything with a blade to stir the fire, no water to splash the fire, and you can't throw filthy things into the fire. When eating meat and drinking, you should also respect fire first. On December 23 every year, Ewenki people in the pastoral area also hold a ceremony to sacrifice the God of fire: put a table on the front of the fire position and put a variety of offerings. Light lights around the fire rack and hang five kinds of colored cloth strips. Inside the fire rack, use wood strips to build a frame, put sheep's sternum on it, sprinkle mutton oil, then light the fire and put all kinds of offerings into the fire. At the same time, the women who sacrifice to the God of fire have to kneel in front of the fire and ask the God of fire to forgive their family's impoliteness to the fire this year. After that, the whole family kowtowed to the fire. It is forbidden to stir the fire and remove the ash within 3 days after the fire sacrifice. The reason why they respect fire so much is not only that fire plays an important role in their production and life, but also because they believe that the owner of fire is God, and the owner of each family is their own ancestors. If they lose the owner of fire, it will be difficult for the family to continue incense.
