Lahu is a Lahu ethnic group.

The Lahu ethnic group is one of the ancient ethnic groups in China, with a population of 10,000 (the fourth census in 1990). The word "Lahu" is a word in this ethnic language, "La" means tiger, and "Hu" means to roast meat fragrantly. Therefore, in history, the Lahu people are called "tiger hunting people".

The Lahu people originated from the ancient Qiang people in Gansu and Qinghai, and lived a nomadic life in the early days. Later, it gradually moved south, and finally settled in the Lancang River basin. This ethnic group is mainly distributed in Pu'er and Lincang on both sides of the Lancang River.

78% of them are distributed in the west of the Lancang River, from Lincang and Gengma in the north to Lancang Menglian in the south.

The Lahu people are mainly found in southern Yunnan Province in southern China. The word "Lahu" is a word in this ethnic language, "La" means tiger, and "Hu" means to roast meat fragrantly. Therefore, in history, the Lahu people are called "tiger hunting people".

The diet of the Lahu people has its own ethnic characteristics and unique way of eating. The Lahu people eat rice as the staple food, followed by corn, potatoes, beans, buckwheat and so on. Three meals a day, reduced to two meals during the food shortage season.

Get up every morning to scoop rice, and cook it now. Cook rice in an earthen pot or wooden retort. Vegetables include radish, greens, melons, beans, and chili peppers.

I like to use chicken or other ingredients to increase rice or bread grain to make porridge, and there are various kinds of porridge such as melon vegetables, mushrooms, blood, meat, etc., among which chicken porridge is the top grade. Both adults and children are accustomed to drinking mountain spring water.

The Lahu people like to cook vegetables, meat, condiments and water in a thin bamboo tube, which not only has the fragrance of bamboo, but also maintains the original aroma of meat and vegetables.

The Lahu barbecue meat has a unique flavor, and most of the wild animal meat hunted is roasted directly over the fire, or the meat is wrapped in banana leaves and buried in the fire, cooked and eaten. The barbecue is crispy and delicious, and it is appetizing with spicy condiments. The water and offal of the prey are lit on the spot and cooked in a bamboo tube for food.

When disemboweling, middle-aged people like to drink the steaming "heart blood" with their hands, and it is said that the heart blood of the prey has the wonderful effect of replenishing blood and eliminating strain.

The Lahu people not only pickle vegetables, marinate meat, grind tofu, but also make wine. In the folk, both men and women are addicted to alcohol, and have the habit of indistinguishing between wine and meat. I usually like to drink roasted tea. Roasted tea is to roast the large tea into a pot until browned, and then boil it in water after the fragrance wafts out.

The Lahu people love to serve their guests with chili peppers. There is a saying: "The spicy seeds of the Lahu people, the oil of the Han people", which means that there is no chili pepper in the hospitality, just like the Han people do not put oil in cooking.

When eating, the parents serve the meal first, followed by the guests, and other family members take it according to their age, and when the women serve the meal, they cannot take it with their children on their backs or in their arms, and the host has to kill the chicken and cook the chicken porridge to entertain the distinguished guests. However, if the host entertains guests with porridge cooked with white chicken, it is a sign of breaking off friendship.

Specialty diets. Bamboo tube cooking: Most of the Kucong people of the Lahu ethnic group who live in the primeval forest of Ailao Mountain do not have pots and retorts, and generally use thin bamboo tubes to cook rice and vegetables.

Put the cornmeal or rice into the thin bamboo tube, add water, plug the mouth of the tube tightly with leaves, and then put a section of the bamboo tube on the fire to burn, after cooking, break the bamboo tube and eat. The meat is also boiled in a bamboo tube, but no more water is added.

Barbecue: The Lahu people are accustomed to eating barbecue, cutting the fine meat into thin strips, mixing peppercorn powder, spicy noodles, fine noodles, garlic paste and other condiments on the meat surface, and then clamping the meat strips with thin bamboo slices and placing them on the fire pit rack for barbecue. After cooking, remove the bamboo slices, which can be eaten, which is a delicacy for guests. Hair shaving customs.

In the past, both men and women of the Lahu tribe liked to shave their heads, but unmarried women did not shave, and after marriage, women should keep a lock of hair on the top of their heads, saying: "soul hair", to show the difference between men and women. Most of the young women have their hair braided, and Lahu women in remote mountainous areas still retain the custom of shaving their hair.

They consider a shaved head to be hygienic, comfortable, and a sign of a woman's beauty.

The Lahu people still have no professional craftsmen, and every adult can make bamboo and wood utensils, especially good at rattan and bamboo weaving. They use wild bamboo, dragon bamboo, hanging bamboo, thin bamboo and rattan in the mountains to weave mats, mats, baskets, lunch boxes, boxes, tables, chairs, etc., each piece of weaving has a different pattern and pattern, which is popular with other ethnic groups. An ordinary family weaves dozens of pieces every year, and in addition to their own use, they also exchange production, daily necessities or put them on the market with other ethnic groups**.

Diet, there are two types of food: raw food and cooked food. Cooked food is mainly roasted and boiled. In the past and now, there is a habit of eating barbecued meat, using two bamboo sticks to sandwich the meat coated with salt and spices in the middle, and put it on the side of the fire to slowly roast yellow, roast fragrant, and crispy before eating.

Both corn and wadi are pounded with a wooden pestle and mortar. Before 1949, only a few people had a pot of Bochang and retorts, and they used bamboo tubes to cook food, put rice or cornmeal with an appropriate amount of water in the bamboo tubes, and then stuffed the mouth of the tube with leaves, and then put it on the fire after plugging the mouth of the tube, and burned it to break the bamboo tube to eat. Now it is only used to cook in bamboo steaks out of the mountains, and iron pots, aluminum pots and wooden retorts are commonly used to cook and cook at home.

There is also a special way to eat the staple corn, that is, to remove the skin of the corn, soak it for about half a day, take it out and dry it, and then pound it into noodles, and then steam it into a cake. Men and women, young and old, practice drinking. Every family makes wine from corn and wild fruits every year.

Whenever there is a festival or a visit from relatives and friends, you must drink heartily and get drunk. There is no habit of planting vegetables, and the plants in the mountains and wilderness, as long as they are non-toxic and have no strange taste, they will be picked to accompany the meal.

Inhabited, the houses of the Lahu people are simple in structure, low and narrow, dark and damp. Along the slope of the hill, Huilu excavated the foundation, built a wall with earth, and covered the roof with thatch, and built a house with 4 6 trees. The eaves on both sides of the house face the dirt slope on one side and the foot of the slope on the other.

A house is divided into a "bubble" (small room), where the parents live in one room and each married child lives in one room. On the left, the parents of "Ah Pao" live, and the children of "Ah Pao" on the right live or wait for guests. In addition to the public fire pit in the main hall, there is also a fire pit in each "Ah Pao", on which a thin stone slab (some iron plates) is hung for barbecue food.

Each family also has a "weekly" (stove pond) dedicated to cooking meals for the whole family. The placement of indoor farm tools or other utensils has a fixed position and cannot be placed indiscriminately.

Clothing, there are very few people who can weave in the Lahu tribe, and when they live in the old forest, they often exchange prey for shabby clothes from the Hani people. After settling in the forest, he learned to spin and weave cloth from the Hani and Dai people, and sew clothes. Women's clothing is different, Shengkaila Huxi is a black right placket robe, the cuffs and edges are inlaid with various colors of cloth strips and lace, and some are inlaid with shells on the placket; Lahuna wears a black and blue right shirt with trousers and trousers with inlays.

2. Three strips of colored cloth lace. Regardless of the branch, it is common to braid long hair and tie it up at the top. Married women use colored cloth or dyed rattan as headbands with silver bubbles nailed to them.
