    He Weimin - Representative Inheritor of Jingpo Munaozongge Festival Project in Luxi City, Dehong

    ? Basic Information

    Item Information
    Name He Weimin (何为民) – also known as He Leleng (何勒弄)
    Ethnicity Jingpo (景颇族)
    Year of Birth 1947
    Native Place Wandan Village (弯丹村), Wucha Road Township (五岔路乡), Luxi City (潞西市, now Mangshi 芒市), Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (德宏傣族景颇族自治州), Yunnan Province (云南省)
    Role Representative Inheritor of the Jingpo Munao Zongge Festival (景颇族目瑙纵歌节)
    Heritage Status Provincial-level Representative Inheritor (4th batch)
    Cultural Roles “Dongsà” (董萨, Ritual Priest) and “Naoshwang” (瑙双, Chief Dance Leader)

    ? Path of Inheritance and Cultural Roles

    Early Learning

    At the age of 8, He Weimin began training under his uncle, He Dui (何堆), a renowned elder Dongsà. From him, he learned to preside over rituals and absorbed Jingpo (景颇族) traditions such as creation epics and clan migration histories.

    Independent Leadership

    By 15, he was already independently leading major community events such as weddings, funerals, the New Rice Festival (新米节), and the grand Munao Zongge (目瑙纵歌) celebrations. He became known for his fluency in narrating Jingpo history and his meticulous organization of ritual procedures.

    Dual Roles in Jingpo Culture

    • Dongsà (董萨): A priest who mediates between people and spirits, fully mastering ritual knowledge and practices.

    • Naoshwang (瑙双): The chief dance leader of the Munao Zongge Festival. Between 1984 and 2006, he frequently served as Naoshwang in Mangshi (芒市) during large-scale Munao Zongge events.

    ? Teaching and Cultural Influence

    Training the Next Generation

    As a devoted cultural bearer, He Weimin has trained several apprentices. Among them, He Guangming (何光明), He Lejun (何勒准), and Lei Lejun (雷勒准) have grown into respected Dongsà in their own right.
    Notably, He Lejun (何勒准) participated as an instructor in a 2025 Munao Zongge training program in Mangshi (芒市), guiding younger learners.

    Local Impact

    He Weimin is widely recognized as a leading figure in Jingpo ritual culture, with significant influence in his community and beyond.

    ? Conclusion

    He Weimin (何为民, He Leleng 何勒弄) stands as a deeply rooted inheritor of Jingpo traditions. As both a ritual priest (Dongsà) and a festival dance leader (Naoshwang), he plays a crucial role in safeguarding and transmitting the Munao Zongge Festival (目瑙纵歌节) — a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China (Category IX-11).
    His life and work vividly embody the enduring value and meaning of cultural heritage transmission.
