Tiger Totem Worship and Cultural Inheritance
The traditional folk ceremony "Jumping Yu Tu" (that is, "Jumping Tiger") is a relic of the totem worship of the ancient Qiang tiger. At present, it only exists in Nianduhu Village, Tongren County, Huangnan Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Every year, from the fifth to the twentieth day of the first lunar month, "Wu Tú", or "Jumping Tiger", is held to drive away evil spirits and epidemics. On May 20th, 2006, Turkish Yu Tu was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
The worship of tigers should originate from the totem worship of tigers in Chu culture. The tiger has always been worshipped by the Han people. It is a symbol of justice, courage and majesty. According to textual research, the image of tiger also appeared in ancient Qiang and Rong nationalities, but it was most popular in southwest China. Jade cong of Liangzhu culture in Neolithic Age and bronze wares in Yin and Shang Dynasties have similar animal faces and tiger images. To this day, the Yi, Bai, Buyi, Tujia and other ethnic groups in China still call tigers their ancestors. People in the Han Dynasty regarded the tiger as the king of beasts. The white tiger is a tiger that can only turn white in 500 years. It's sacred. Immortals often ascend to heaven by tigers. It's the beast of Zhenxi. Since the Han Dynasty, the tiger has always been the favorite protector of the working people, but it is not a symbol of the emperor. After a long historical evolution and development, the cultural awareness of tiger worship has become an unchangeable cultural concept of the Chinese nation.
dialect
tiger
In the northeast dialect, the word "tiger" is used to describe a person's recklessness.
Take Li Kui jy as an example. If he does something directly and recklessly, we will say: this man is a tiger.
20 10 There is no beginning of spring lunar calendar in the Year of the Tiger. From February 20 10 to February 2, 20 1 10 in the Year of the Tiger, there are only 23 solar terms and there is no beginning of spring Day.
In the lunar calendar, there is no beginning of spring in a year, which is what people call "the year without spring".
The "spring-free" year, commonly known as the "widowed spring" year, is also called "widowed year", and later it is called "widowed year" according to the meaning of the word "widowed". Many people say that the year of widowhood is not suitable for marriage.

In fact, it is normal for the lunar calendar to encounter a year without spring. In order to guide agricultural production activities, the solar calendar in ancient China was divided into 24 solar terms, that is, every 15 days was a solar term. Because there are more leap months, the number of days in the lunar leap year is about 30 days longer than that in the normal year, so there are 25 solar terms in the lunar leap year, while there are 23 or 24 solar terms in the normal year. Because beginning of spring is at the end of a year or the beginning of a year, it often happens when the solar term in beginning of spring runs to the end of the last lunar year or crosses to the beginning of the next lunar year. This is an artificial adjustment in calendar arrangement according to solar terms and phenology, which will not and should not affect personal life. No matter "no spring", "double spring" or "single spring", it is just a "quirk" in the conversion between lunar calendar and solar calendar, and has nothing to do with good or bad luck. It is neither credible nor desirable to say that a year without spring is a year of widowhood.
