China Entertainment: Starting from RV travel live broadcast

Get in the RV and set off.

Qiongzhong is not far from Wuzhishan. Zhao Fei has mentioned before that Qiongzhong is also part of Wuzhishan Scenic Area, so it only takes an hour to drive there.

Across the city center of Qiongzhong.

Mai Mai saw many older Li men and women on the street with special tattoos on their arms or calves, and asked Zhao Fei, "Are tattoos a folk custom of the Li people?"

"Yes."

Zhao Fei nodded and explained: "Tattoo is called "Dadeng" in the Li language, and it is also called "Moou".

The dialect of Sunshine Island is also called "Xiu Mian" or "Written".

This is our common tattoo, which is a traditional custom of the Li family.

Customization has been around since ancient times.

Because they regard tattoos as national symbols.

If you do not have tattoos on your face or tattoos with specific symbols of your family or branch during your lifetime, your ancestors will have many descendants after your death, making it difficult to see them all.

If "the ancestors do not recognize them as descendants, they will always be wild ghosts."

Furthermore, in ancient times, tragedies of killing each other often occurred between races, and captured women were taken as trophies.

For various reasons, women must be tattooed when they reach adulthood to make them easily identifiable and to avoid being held captive.

Therefore, "men and women of the Li family get tattoos on their bodies when they turn one year old." "

Zhao Fei is quite familiar with this aspect of knowledge, because in his last life, Zhao Fei deliberately disobeyed the folk customs of the Li people, including some taboo things.

The tattoos of the Li people not only have a certain shape and legal system, but also have certain age limits for the tattoos to be performed.

All ethnic groups carry out tattoos according to ancestral patterns, and they must not pretend to be disordered.

For example, the pattern of Meifuli women is composed of geometric square patterns, fountain patterns or grain patterns, while the pattern of Runli is formed of leaf patterns or squares.

In particular, as long as a woman reaches the age of eleven or two to fourteen or five years old, without exception, she must receive tattoos according to the special marks left by her ancestors.

If someone violates the rules or cannot get a tattoo on time due to special reasons, and unfortunately passes away, it is inevitable to use charcoal to press the special marks left by the ancestors of the nation on the tattooed position, draw a pattern, and then place the body in the coffin.

Otherwise, they are not qualified to be buried in the collective cemetery of the Li ethnic group.

Of course, it is relatively rare now.

After all, this is a peaceful era, and the people who can see tattoos are basically the older generation, or middle-aged people, and there are also some families who value the inheritance of blood.

Most of these old Li people still retain the living traditions of the Li people.

Most of the younger generation have received education, and some have gone outside to seek survival and development. Traditional culture and modern civilization are colliding fiercely here.

The most important thing is that the Li tattoo custom has been included as an intangible cultural heritage by Sunshine Island.

In the Li-Miao Autonomous Region where I am located in Qiongzhong, it is not surprising to see people with tattoos on the street, nor are they mixed with society.

"This is the legendary legal tattoo. It won't work if you don't get it."

"Okay, okay, the anchor knows a lot."

"Wait a minute, anchor, please drive slower. There seems to be a bamboo pole dancer in the square next to you."

Zhao Fei also saw the bamboo pole dancers in the square, so he subconsciously slowed down the car so that the sisters and the fans in the live broadcast room could take a closer look.

"I know this, we jumped here last time."

Mai Mai smiled and said: "Bamboo pole dancing is one of the most local folk dances of the Li ethnic group. It is also called the "bamboo dance".

During every Chinese New Year and festival, Li people dress up in colorful national costumes, gather in the square and dance the "Bamboo Dance".

When jumping bamboo poles, 8 long bamboo poles are arranged in parallel in four rows. The bamboo poles open and close, and the patterns are constantly changing with the rhythm of the music and drums. 4-8 young men and women cross each other in a fast or slow rhythm. Jumping dexterously, intelligently and freely among the bamboo poles.

When the bamboo poles are separated, both legs or one foot will land skillfully, and then jump up quickly before the bamboo poles are closed, and change the steps from time to time to perform various graceful dance movements.

The young men and women participating in the dance shouted "hey-hey, hey-hey" from softly to loudly while dancing.

It can be said that it greatly adds to the lively atmosphere of the dance. "

As Mai Mai said, Zhao Fei and the others were just driving a RV and walking on the road, which was equivalent to passing by, but they could still hear the enthusiastic shouts in the square.

It instantly makes people feel better and they can't help but join in the fun.

"Sister Mai Mai, you are so amazing, you even know this." My sister said with admiration.

"What's this? As time goes by, you will know it." Mai Mai waved his hand indifferently.

Seeing this, Zhao Fei also smiled.

Needless to say, he has been broadcasting the travel live broadcast for such a long time, and Mai Mai has been by his side all the time, and he has indeed learned a lot, including the bamboo pole dancing section just introduced.

If it were the old Mai Mai, I would never be able to tell.

Driving an RV, they passed by the square. A few minutes later, Zhao Fei and the others left Qiongzhong.

Zhao Fei also gradually increased the speed of the car.

The coconut trees on both sides of the road flew by.

The three of them were sitting in the RV, eating snacks and listening to songs, living a happy life.

However, when passing through a small village, the three of them discovered something was wrong.

Mai Mai put down the snacks in his hands and frowned: "Why can't you see anyone in this village?"

"Yes." My sister's little face became serious as she said, "But looking at the houses in this village, they are all stilted buildings and they are not run-down. They are obviously inhabited.

But why can't I see anyone on the street?

Are they all at home?

Now is not the time to cook. "

Not only the two sisters, Zhao Fei also vaguely felt something was wrong, and guessed: "There should be some activities in the village, so they are not at home.

Or maybe there are only old people left in the village, and the young people have gone out to work.

This situation is not uncommon. "

With that said, Zhao Fei increased the speed of the car and planned to leave here quickly and get to Wuzhishan.

But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind the hillside outside the village, which instantly aroused the curiosity of the three people.

When Zhao Fei drove out of the village, he was the first to catch his eye.

It is a stream and layers of terraced fields on both sides of the hillside.

The most important thing is that there are many people forming a large circle next to the terraces, and there are railings around the large circle.

Outside the crowd, there were people playing drums and gongs, making it very lively.

"What are you doing?" The younger sister looked confused.

Zhao Fei was also a little strange. He parked the car on the side of the road and turned on the handbrake. When he saw many fat bulls in the crowd, he guessed: "This is not going to be a bullfight, right?"

"Ah... Bullfighting is also included in Li and Miao folk customs. Isn't this a Roman custom?" Mai Mai was also a little confused.

"No, the Miao villages and towns in Sunshine Island do sometimes hold such bullfighting competitions, and they are still held in a noisy atmosphere with gongs and drums. On the day of the competition, each Miao village will carefully select the best cattle to participate in the competition. .

Men, women, and children from the surrounding villages would also wear the most elegant clothes to watch. And I guess these people are not from the same village, but people from nearby villages. "

"It's really a bullfight." When my sister saw the owners of the cows starting to give the cows something to drink, "then she asked, what did they give the cows to drink?"

"It should be glutinous rice wine. The bull will be more ferocious after a while." Zhao Fei's guess was correct.

When the bullfight here begins, not only do the bulls have to drink glutinous rice wine, but the eyes of the two cows are also covered with leaves, and then they are led to the venue and then uncovered.

Then the three of them saw two cows looking at each other and glaring at each other.

At the command of the person presiding over the bullfight, the bulls left their owners and began to attack each other, clashing their horns and engaging in a duel.

The people around cheered enthusiastically and beat gongs and drums.

"This is so fierce." My sister didn't dare to get out of the car when she saw this somewhat fierce scene, but she couldn't help but be curious, so she lay by the window and watched.

The same goes for Mai Mai and Zhao Fei.

I saw that after a fierce fight and several rounds, the two bulls came to an end. The loser seemed to have died on the spot and remained motionless.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the winner, wearing red silk and silver horns, stood upright like a real hero, opened his mouth and roared several times.

The owner of the bull will lead him around the ring and enjoy the meat amidst the sound of firecrackers.

"Here, the other bull seems to be dead, right?"

"It seems like this... is a bit cruel."

"Who would have thought that before we even reached Wuzhishan, we would encounter such an event first. I don't know whether to say that the anchor is lucky or bad."

It’s not just fans in the live broadcast room.

Mai Mai and her sister also felt a little pity for the defeated bull.

It is conceivable that after this bullfight, people from several villages will definitely get together and hold a dinner.

As for the ingredients for the dinner, you don’t need to think too much...yes, the truth is so cruel.

"How about let's go?"

"Yes, let's go... I don't think this bullfight is interesting."

Seeing that the two sisters couldn't bear it, Zhao Fei didn't say much, nodded, started the RV and left.

When the cattle ranch and village are no longer visible.

Zhao Feicai said: "Actually, Miao Village has a history of holding bullfighting events since ancient times, but don't get me wrong, this kind of event is not for everyone's enjoyment.

But through the activity of bullfighting, you can tell which bull is the most powerful.

Correspondingly, the bull's genes will be better, and it will eventually be regarded as a breeding bull and have priority for mating.

After all, the previous cattle-raising technology was neither skilled nor scientific.

Many calves died after being born, so the villagers at that time would hold such bullfighting activities to select the best ones to increase the chances of the calves surviving. "

"So that's it." Mai Mai suddenly realized and said, "I thought the reason why these villagers were fighting bullfights was to watch the party for fun."

"Yes, people who don't know the inside story are easily misunderstood."

"Awesome anchor, you really know everything."

"To be honest, when I saw the bullfight just now, I was a little resistant to the Li-Miao culture of Sunshine Island, but now when I heard the anchor say it, I suddenly realized it."

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room and the softened expressions of the two sisters.

Zhao Fei smiled and continued: "Of course, what I just said is only one of them, there is another reason related to the owner of the bull.

You know, if you participate in bullfighting, your cattle will be at risk of death.

In the countryside, it doesn’t matter whether it’s ancient times or now.

The value of a cow is relatively high.

What if the cow that I finally raised was gored to death because of bullfighting? Wouldn't that be a loss... Then why do you still participate?

Let's be honest and just raise cattle. After all, if we don't participate, we can guarantee that we will never lose money.

In fact, this is also affected by local customs.

What I just said is that if you lose, you will lose money, but if you win, you will make a lot of money. Not only will your own bull wear colorful silk and gain glory.

The owner of the bull will also be looked down upon by the people in the village.

First of all, his own cow won, which proved that the owner’s cattle-raising skills were very impressive.

Another one...we live in the same village and are very familiar with each other. If your family wins the bullfight, it is a great face-saving thing.

This is a bit like having your own children admitted to college now.

This is very embarrassing for parents in the village.

Don't underestimate this sense of honor. This is very important in some clan-style villages, and it is also a way to improve your family's status and class.

If you count carefully, you will find it.

Often people like this who have a high status in the village and can speak easily will eventually end up being the head of the same village.

With rights, who cares if one or two cows die because of bullfighting?

I don’t think everyone should understand this truth. "

Everyone admired Zhao Fei's words, especially some fans from rural areas, although there was no such activity as bullfighting in their hometown.

But there are many similar ones.

And if you think about it carefully, it's exactly what Zhao Fei said.

"Human nature has been completely understood by the anchor. To put it bluntly... various human activities, rituals, folk customs, etc. are actually ultimately linked to interests.

Otherwise, who would have nothing to do but get together and make noise. "

"Of course, this is actually beneficial to human progress. One person's ability to resist risks is too low, especially in ancient times, so if everyone gathers together, the chance of survival will be higher.

When there are too many people, various problems will arise.

And bringing everyone together to participate in folk custom activities is equivalent to more communication and understanding, especially activities similar to this kind of bullfighting.

Let Jia have a competitive spirit, which is equivalent to having a goal to strive for.

In this way, people will feel joy while living.

Otherwise, it’s no different from The Walking Dead. "

"I can't explain the great truths you are talking about. I just want to say, damn...the anchor is awesome."

"Haha, when the book comes to use, I will hate it less. One sentence of 'f*ck' can be used all over the world, but I have to say that if the anchor doesn't explain it.

I didn't expect that either.

As the saying goes, some things cannot just be looked at on the surface, but must be analyzed and thought about from a deeper level.

Thanks to the anchor, I learned to be mature! "(End of chapter)
