Zhao Han left, taking the mission goal of this trip with him and leaving here.
His arrival seemed to have changed nothing, but it seemed to have changed something in this ancient town deep in the mountains.
When Zhao Han came, he didn't bring anything.
When he left, he didn't take anything with him.
However, because of the appearance of Zhao Han and the misunderstanding between Lao Suntou and the two men, all the recent problems and conflicts in the ancient town have been completely changed.
In the ancient town at this time.
Zhong Yunqi and several other young people who followed him to the ancient town were very lively when they saw the people in the town gathering together to kill pigs and sheep.
"This picture reminds me of the Panwang Festival in my hometown. Alas, I won't go back for the festival this year!"
At this time, one of the several young people suddenly sighed.
Um?
Originally, Zhong Yunqi and the others were in a low mood.
Zhong Yunqi fell into deep thought because of what his grandfather said to him before and the yellowed manuscript. He has been thinking about some things of his own!
As for the others, because they failed to stop the people in the town from offering sacrifices, there was little progress in their work, so naturally they were a little depressed.
It was at this time that the sighing words of one of them attracted the attention of several others.
"Panwang Festival, what kind of festival is that? Why haven't I heard of it?" One person was curious and asked.
Everyone knows about festivals such as New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Hanshi, Qingming, Zhongyuan Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc.
But I really don’t know what the Panwang Festival that person just mentioned was.
"Oh, this is a festival in our hometown of Jinxiu, a festival only for our Yao people!" the man explained.
Several people were curious and asked more questions. Even Zhong Yunqi was aroused and listened.
The man told everyone some things about the Panwang Festival in their hometown.
In the tenth month of every year, the Yao people hold a cave to worship King Dubei in front of the temple. They gather men and women who have no real family, and the men and women dance together in groups, which is called Ta Yao. "
"Tashao" refers to "Dance Panwang", that is, dance is used to express worship to ancestors during the Panwang Festival, and is also called Panwang's wish fulfillment.
It is said that in ancient times, the Yao people traveled across the ocean by boat and encountered strong winds and waves. The boat floated in the sea for 7749 days and could not reach the shore. The boat was about to be destroyed and everyone died.
At this time, someone was on the bow of the boat praying to King Pan, the ancestor, for the safety of his descendants, and made a great wish. After making the wish, the weather was calm, the boat quickly docked, and the Yao people were saved.
This day is the 16th day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, which happens to be King Pan's birthday. So the Yao people who came ashore cut down trees and dug them into wooden rice cakes, steamed the glutinous rice and pounded it into glutinous rice cakes.
Afterwards, everyone sang and danced to celebrate the new life of the Yao people and the birthday of Panwang. From then on, the Yao people called this event the "Panwang Festival".
"In our hometown, every year during the Panwang Festival, Yao compatriots from many surrounding villages will gather at Panwang Mountain to sing, dance, and toast in front of Panwang's statue!"
"In our place, every year during Panwang Festival, all compatriots sing "Panwang Song" together."
"I heard from my grandpa and others that after King Pan's death, the officials oppressed and forced the Yao people to seize the land from the Yao Mountains.
The famous Yao clan complained to the emperor, but the petition never reached the emperor.
Later, the smart Yao people came up with a way to hide the complaint paper in a long drum, and traveled across the state to play the long drum and perform national and folk skills.
In this way, the Yao people finally arrived in the capital, went to the Jinluan Hall, opened the long drum, took out the writ paper, and finally filed the complaint.
From now on, when celebrating the Panwang Festival, our Yao compatriots will dance the long drum dance and sing "Panwang Song" in unison, and this has been passed down from generation to generation."
That person has almost finished talking about everything about Panwang Festival.
Many of these are actually legends that have been passed down from generation to generation.
After Zhong Yunqi heard this, his heart was shocked.
What this man said was like a bright light shining in his confused heart!
Zhong Yunqi lowered his head and looked at the yellowed manuscript in his hand, and his heart suddenly became enlightened!
He finally understood that his previous situation was too small!
He always thought that the behavior of worshiping gods in his hometown's ancient town was a kind of superstition.
And they come back here to impart knowledge and spread science.
Therefore, they will try their best to resist and stop this kind of activity.
It is precisely because of this that their work has created such a big conflict with the people in the ancient town.
However, what Li Qijie just said made Zhong Yunqi find a new direction.
Li Qijie is the young man from Jinxiu who told everyone about the Panwang Festival.
The Panwang they worship is Panhu, which is also the dragon dog.
In other words, the Yao people are a nation with dogs as their totems; "Panwang Song" vividly reflects the Yao people's original belief that they regard dragon dogs as the ancestors of their nation to worship and enshrine them (totem belief and ghost belief, ancestor belief
combine together).
If we really want to treat it according to their previous attitude towards the ancient town's sacrificial activities, then what is the essential difference between this Panwang Festival?
Li Qijie comes from Jinxiu, which is much more developed than Zhong Yunqi and his friends in the ancient mountain towns deep in the Hengduan Mountains!
Since such a place can accommodate Panwang, it can be recognized by so many people!
So why can't they tolerate a so-called guardian spirit of the sacred mountain here?
Zhong Yunqi understood that their previous structure was too small and their way of dealing with problems was too extreme!
There are obviously better and compatible ways, so why should we deal with them in such a drastic way to prevent this!
His grandfather, the old mayor Zhong Yuanshan, was right!
Regardless of whether those are true or not, these are things passed down from generation to generation and are their roots!
If these things were gone, and even the sacrifices that only happened once every ten years were eliminated, what would they have left?
"Everyone, I have an idea!" Zhong Yunqi suddenly turned his head and said to his companions.
"What can I do?" Several people were a little confused by his vague words and asked in confusion.
"I already have a new approach regarding our work!" Zhong Yunqi said.
"Really? What can you do? Please tell me!" Several people suddenly became excited.
Why did they come to such a remote place? They came to carry out poverty alleviation and education work.
The work was not going well before, but now that I heard that there is a solution, I naturally became excited.
Hot-blooded young people are nothing more than this!
However, it is precisely with so many passionate young people that China can continue to develop and grow, and grassroots construction can continue to become stronger!
