In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court sent troops to the border Wang Ji to the border to establish lettersAfter Wang Shangshu takes office, I will be aware of the suffering of the border people, and actively help the people of the tribe to develop their own production, so that the life of the people of the tribe will become better and better, and the false accusation of adultery of Wang Shangshu will be transferred back to the court.

The Lisu people are mainly distributed in Yunnan, the Lisu area, people have their own language, and they also have their own traditional festivals, which are the annual sports tool festivalsThe ethnic minority festival will lead everyone to see the origin of the Lisu people on the Dao Festival.

The custom of the "Dao Gong Festival" has been practiced for hundreds of years, and it is said that foreigners invaded the Yunnan border during the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court sent the king of Shangshu soldiers to lead the troops to the enemy. After Wang Ji arrived in Northwest Yunnan, he relied on the locals to fight in that unit, and they quickly drove out the invaders. On the eighth day of February, Wang Ji deliberately returned to Beijing, but unfortunately, he was killed by an adulterer on the way.

In memory of the man who resisted the invasion of foreign races and died on the battlefield.

Since then, they have gradually developed a traditional sports activityLegend has it that he was an ancient hero of the Han people, who regarded the date of the hero's death as a traditional festival in their country, and used symbolic ceremonies such as Shangdao Mountain and Haihuo Sea to express their willingness to go to the Tang Dynasty to raise fire. On the day of the rape festival, several strong men held a "fire dance" ceremony. They jumped barefoot on the coal and performed several stunts.

They held 36 long sharp knives with ratchet ratchet wrenches and tied them to two 20-meter-high wooden frames to form a ladder. The barefoot empty-handed painter climbed from the sharp blade to the top and made several difficult movements at the top of the pole. Today, this exciting traditional ritual of worship is a sporting activity in which the clan performs stunts.

It was in the past, there was a person with a big knife, and a person who saved his life when he was in danger, and later there was a knife festival to commemorate the benefactor.

The Dao Bar Festival, according to legend, is to commemorate an ancient Han hero who was kind to the Susu people.

The sword bar festival is that the man in ancient times was very brave and saved others with a knife.

This also evolved according to what happened to their people, and it became a habit over time.

Their folk customs are inherited by themselves.

It's because of the treasure of this place at that time, so there is a knife festival.

In fact, I think there used to be two people who used to compete with knives and bars when they were bored on this day.

Lisu peopleThe knife bar festival has a long history and is a very important traditional festival of the Lisu people, which occupies an important position in its cultureFestivals of ethnic minoritiesQuestion: What is the month and day of the Lisu Knife Pole Festival?

Answer: The eighth day of the second lunar month is the knife bar festival of the Lisu people.

Lisu knife bar section:

The Lisu Knife Pole Festival, called Atangde in Lisu language, means Climbing Knife Festival, is a traditional festival of the Lisu and Yi ethnic groups living in Lushui County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is composed of the process of sacrificing the Ming Dynasty's military department Shangshu Wang Ji, going down to the sea of fire, and going to the knife mountain.

There are two main contents of the knife bar section: one is to go down to the sea of fire, and the other is to go up the knife mountain. The Lower Sea of Fire, that is, the bath of fire, is held on the evening of the seventh day of the second lunar month.

It means to wash away the dirt, and there is no danger on the knife bar. In the evening, thousands of Lisu people, dressed in colorful national costumes, lit huge bonfires on the flat ground, and men, women, and children danced and sang around the blazing fire.

When the firewood burned into red coals, a group of strong men dressed in red clothes and bare feet drank several bowls of Zhuanghuai wine, and roared into the fire in a burst of intense drums. They leaped and tumbled in the sea of fire, their throbbing feet splashing thousands of bright red sparks, dazzling people. Then I saw them holding red charcoal fire in both hands, scrubbing and rubbing their faces, baptizing the fire, and then picking up the red-hot iron chains from the fire and pulling them at me.

The performers walk on the grass and catch the fireballs like toys, making the audience not believe that this is true. After jumping over the sea of fire, the Lisu men and women dressed in festive costumes continued to dance and sing until the east turned white.

The next day, that is, the noon of the eighth day of the second lunar month, is a more thrilling activity of going to the knife pole (that is, going to the knife mountain). It is bigger than the fire scene, and the atmosphere is more magnificent. On this day, there were crowds of people everywhere, and a group of Lisu young men sharpened their knives, and then made 36 or 72 extremely sharp long knives as rungs, tied them to two thick wooden poles more than 20 meters long, and then erected them, planted one end to the ground, and one end smashed into the clouds.

The sharp knife used as a ladder has the edge upwards and the cold light flickers. At noon, a cannon sounded, gongs and drums rang out, and more than a dozen Lisu men dressed in national costumes came to the bottom of the ladder, grabbed the blade with their bare hands, climbed on the blade with bare feet, and climbed up one after another quickly and calmly.

On the eighth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the Lisu people's knife bar festival began, in the Lisu local area, their knife bar festival is similar to our Spring Festival, Lisu people have a festival called the knife bar festival, also known as the climbing knife festival.

It is a traditional festival of the Lisu and Yi ethnic groups living in Lushui County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and the festival is on the fifteenth day of the first month of each year.

The knife pole festival is to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, which means to remember that a better life is not easy to come by, no matter how hard it is, we must protect our homeland.

"Knife Pole Festival" is the most solemn and sacred national traditional festival of Lisu compatriots. This festival stems from a tragic and affectionate legend.

It is also a local custom that we may find strange, but they think it is normal.

This festival is to make people remember hatred, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire are to make people remember.

The Knife Stick Festival is a festival that came from the affection between a pair of brothers in ancient times.

It is to show the heroic and fearless spirit of men, and it is also a habit of others.
