Sangzhaoli Festival of the Limi Ethnic People in Yongde County,Lincang

 Limi is a branch of the Yi Minority living in the remote mountainous areas of Yongde County of Lincang Municipality. Each lunar February 15 sees the Limi People head to Qingren Valley for bath and romance, and offer gifts to each other. It’s locally believed that any romance and then marriage on this day will lead to eternal love and domestic harmony. 

Subconsciously, the Limi People believe that marriage is based on loyalty and purity though husband and wife are not totally confined to each other because both of them have set aside space for either emotion or freedom. Sangzhaoli Festival is just the “outlet” for this kind of space; meeting ex-girl/boy friend is not deemed “disloyalty” by both husband and wife. However, life has to go back to normal after Sangzhaoli Festival is over.      

Sangzhaoli Festival has served as a platform and window to showcase the culture of the Mili People. 

“New Rice Festival”

The Wa nationality is a farming nationality. Their productive forces were low in the past and their capacity of resisting natural disasters was comparatively weak. So many sacrifice offering activities on respecting gods and praying for good luck were formed around agricultural product. Some activities became established practice gradually and developed into festivals. The “New Rice Festival” is one of them.”New Rice Festival” is the day when paddy is mature and people celebrate happily good harvest and taste new rice. Because of different climate, the maturity time of grain in different places is different, so the time to celebrate the festival is not unified among villages or even every household. But it was often held in the seventh or eighth lunar month (the ninth or tenth month in Wa calendar) in the past. The date is determined according to the maturity situation of grain or the day, which has the same name with any one of the 12 symbolic animals when the parents or grandparents died. The intention is to invite ghosts of ancestors to return back, taste new rice together with family members, and enjoy happiness together. They also ask the ancestors’ souls in heaven to protect their descendants and promise happy family, good weather for the crops and good harvest. In order that Wa compatriots in different places could celebrate the “New Rice Festival” together, in 1991, the Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County and Ximeng Wa Autonomous County decided together that the “New Rice Festival” is fixed on the 14th of the eighth lunar month for Was.

Name linked between father & son and clan system

The name linked between father and son system is a method of naming by linking father’s and son’s names, which appeared at the transition period from matri-clan system to patri-clan system. It used to be popular or is still popular among Yis, Hanis, Drungs, Was, Jingpos, Nus, Miaos, Uygurs and Kazaks.

The name system of Yis derivate from father to son, which means father’s name is ahead of son’s name. The last one or two syllables of the father’s name are added before the son’s name, and the last one or two syllables are added before the grandson’s name. Thus their names are all linked with one another generation after generation. People can recite ancestors and pedigrees to tens of or even one hundred of generations, such as Apu Juma-Juma Denglun-Denglun Wuwu-Wuwu Gengzi-Gengzi Gengyan-Gengyan Ayi-Ayi Aqu-Aqu Libu¡­

The name system of Yis is not only a kind of naming method. It also connects with clan system closely. It is oral family tree which forms and remembers clan and pedigree, and is an important way to make clear blood tie of clan and to guarantee the patrilineal descending principle to property. In the past, every Yi family paid much attention to its family tree, and men must remember and recite it clearly.

Clan system is a traditional social political and economic system of Yis. Before the foundation of new China, it was popular in the Liangshan Yi region. The clan is a patrilineal blood group, and is composed of clan, branch and single family. Every clan has its family tree passed on for generations, the names in which are linked between father and son, and the family tree is named with a common male ancestors or a place name. Every clan has its common and fixed gathering scope, and common forest, pasture, barren hills and marshland. All members of the clan have the obligation to assist one another and to revenge for one another. Every clan has varied number of headmen, and inside and outside affairs are discussed and dealt with by headmen and affair discussing meeting of the clan. Intermarry is prohibited. Because united and stable political power organization didn’t come into being in Liangshan Yi society, the clan becomes the basic social organization of the Yi society, and it functions as a local political power organization to some extent. What’s more, the clan system and slavery hierarchy system are connected with each other closely. The Black Yi clans occupy a dominant position, and the White Yi clans are subordinated to the Black Yi clans. 

Before the establishing of the new China, clan played a very important role in Yi society. Liangshan Yi saying goes like this: “Fish relies on water; Bee relies on mountain rock; Monkey relies on forest; People rely on clan.” “Cattle and sheep are indispensable; Grain is indispensable; Clan is indispensable.” From 1956 to 1958, the democratic reform movement was carried out in Liangshan region, slave-owning system was eliminated thoroughly, and clan system was abolished along with it. But until now, people’s awareness of clan hasn’t disappeared completely.

Talking about love through “visiting girls”

Most of the Was establish their marriage through free courtship. They usually get married at about 20, and the husband is usually older than the wife. But young fellows and girls can begin to take part in social intercourse and entertaining activities for talking about love since 15 or 16. This kind of courtship activity is commonly called “visiting girls”.

“Visiting girls” is carried out by groups of people. Independent action is rare before the love relationship is formally determined. Men take the initiative all along in the activity.

Visiting is mainly done at night. It has no fixed site and is usually held in girl’s home. When the night has fallen, fellows and girls gather in 3 or 5. Young fellows go to girl’s home while playing three-stringed instrument and flute, where the girls are waiting for them. They all sing, dance and send tobacco and betel nut to one another. The men and women comb hair for one another, laugh and frolic, cast amorous glances and pour out their bosom feelings. After the fellow takes a fancy to some girl through visiting for many times, he will send some presents to her, such as bracelet, necklace, comb and scarf. If the girl doesn’t return the presents back in several days or a period of time, he can firmly believe that the girl only loves him and is willing to be his lover. Girls refuse nobody and accept all presents without caring who is the sender. Because they think that if more fellows send presents to them, it shows their conditions like appearance and moral quality are better and they feel more glorious. Girls’ parents will also feel happy and proud of their daughter if more people come to visit her. Presents will be returned back to the fellow soon if a girl doesn’t want to develop deeper relationship with a guy. Some fellow grabs away the girl’s adornments or scarf to indicate he is proposing marriage to her if he takes a fancy to some girl during visiting. At that moment, no matter the girl agrees or not, she will shout loudly and pretend to resist. If the girl doesn’t go to ask for her adornments, it shows that she has accepted the proposing.

The guy and the girl who have decided their love relationship will separate from the groups and begin to contact each other alone. And then the fellow begins to ask matchmaker to propose marriage formally, and they get engaged and married.
