Ewenki Festival Ewenki Vulcan Festival

Torch Festival is an Ewenki festival in Suolun District, Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. This festival is on February 23, 65438 in the lunar calendar.

During the festival, every family will slaughter a fat sheep, choose the best breast and head, and roast them on the fire as a sacrifice to Vulcan. After the whole family kowtowed to the fire and offered sacrifices, each family should enjoy the delicious barbecue.

Legend has it that a long time ago, Ewenki people didn't know how to use fire. A hunter accidentally walked into a big cave with many snakes while hunting. It has been many years since he came out of the cave, but now he can understand the fairy's language. The hunter saw two felt houses, one for the rich and the other for the poor. When he entered the poor man's yurt, he heard Vulcan's words and said that he would punish the greedy rich man.

At night, the spirit of fire appeared and punished the rich. The hunter told the poor shepherd the truth. Later, herders began to respect Vulcan and designated 65438+February 23rd as Vulcan Day.

"Mikulu" Festival of Ewenki Nationality

"Migru". "Mikulu" of Tonggu Ewenki and "Jimna" of Soren Ewenki are the same festival to celebrate the bumper harvest of animal husbandry. "Mu Yi" means ear recording. There are many ways to cut ear tags, and each ear tag is different. The grassland in May is full of green grass and flowers. The little animals born that year are jumping happily. This grassland is full of vitality. Miguru chose to hold the ceremony at this time. When the labor is well paid, who will be insincerely happy and who will not be addicted to singing and drinking?

There is no fixed date in Mikulu, and every family depends on the weather and preparation. One day after the selection, Ewenki herdsmen gathered their relatives and friends and asked them to help cut off the ears of the lambs and castrate the rams. According to past habits, old people will give lambs to their daughters, nephews and nephews, hoping that they will have more lambs in the future. After that, the shepherd drove the horse back. At this time, the young shepherd got the two-year-old horse with his riding skills.

After the horse was caught, a shepherd rushed over, grabbed the horse's ear and tripped it, or grabbed the horse's tail and ran forward, pulling the horse's tail and throwing it to the ground with dexterous strength. Later, the herdsmen caught up with him, held the horse down and cut off its mane, tail tip and teeth. At this time, the owner of the horse burned his seal red and branded the upper part of the horse's hind leg. If it is a shaman-only horse, the owner should fill the wooden bowl with milk and pour it from the middle of the horse's ears to the root of its tail.

This is also the day when young shepherds show off their riding skills. They selected three or four-year-old unprocessed horses from the herd and tamed them. If they don't have certain riding skills, they will fall on all fours. Wealthy families also hold horse racing, wrestling and other activities, and reward winners with cattle and sheep.

On this day, the owner will slaughter the sheep, offer sacrifices to Miguru or Giazi, and provide the cooked meat of the whole sheep to the gods, praying for the safety of the herd and the prosperity of people and animals. Cut sheep ears are hung on both sides of the "Miguros" or "Giant" idol with thread.
