Pan Hu totem worship of She nationality

Pan Hu myths and legends widely circulated in She society, as well as Pan Hu's totem etiquette, totem signs and totem taboos associated with them, typically reflect the characteristics of the totem culture of She nationality.

The general idea of Pan Hu legend is: In ancient times, Empress Gao Xin suffered from earache for three years, then she took out a worm from her ear, bred it in a dish, and later became a dragon dog, which was given a name by Emperor Gao Xin. At that time, the dog army attacked, and the emperor wrote a letter to seek wisdom, proposing that the one who could behead the Fan Wang would marry Yincui gorge. After the dragon and dog unveiled the list, they went to the enemy country, got drunk by Fan Wang, bit off his head, and returned to China to give it to Gao Xindi. Gao Xindi wants to break off his marriage because he is a dog. Pan Hu said in human language, "Put me in the Admiralty, and I will become an adult in seven days and nights." Pan Hu entered the bell for six days, and the princess was afraid that he would starve to death, so she opened the Admiralty. See that he has become a human body, but his head has not changed. So Pan Hu married the princess. After marriage, the princess lived in the mountains with Pan Hu, making a living by hunting and farming. He gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the eldest son is Pan, whose name is Neng, the second son is Lan, whose name is Guanghui, and the third son is Lei, whose name is Juyou. His daughter married Zhong Zhishen (also called "word").

She people have passed down from generation to generation and praised the achievements of their ancestor Pan Hu. Pan Hu is the object of totem worship of She nationality. The ancestors of She nationality portrayed Pan Hu as a magical, witty and brave national hero by personification, and respected him as the ancestor of She nationality. The long narrative epic "Song of the Emperor Gao" (also known as "Song of the King of Pan Hu") traces the origin and history of the She nationality and Pan Hu's extraordinary experience with simple and deep national feelings. It is regarded as the ancestral song and historical song of the She nationality and has been sung in the She language to this day. In addition to word of mouth, it has its totem worship influence in the dog tail shape of clothing, the prohibition of killing and eating dog meat in life, the prohibition of saying or writing dog characters, and painting, sculpture, music and literature.

She people mostly live in thatched huts and wooden mud-walled tile houses. She people call their houses "Liao", which are mostly built on the hillside where there is water and shelter from the sun. There are few wooden tile houses with two floors, and many bungalows are square. The roof is gold-shaped, with halls and side rooms. Indoor rooms are generally one hall, left and right wing rooms, and the middle hall is divided into front and rear rooms, with wooden screens in the middle, and two small doors on both sides. There is a shrine on the top of the left door and a ancestral shrine on the top of the right door, and daily necessities such as grinding, mortar or raising poultry are placed in the back room. The left and right wing rooms are divided into two bedrooms, and the indoor furnishings are simple. The rear section of the right wing is mostly a kitchen, and there is generally no chimney in the kitchen. Due to the cold climate in mountainous areas, there is a fire pit or fire pond in front of every kitchen. In winter, the whole family sits in the fire pit and warms themselves. When guests come, please sit around the stove to keep warm, and invite meals and songs to show affection and respect.

When building a house, the She people usually beam the column first, set up a shelf, then cover the roof with tiles, and finally build walls around it, spread the floor and renovate the interior.

It is necessary to choose an auspicious day to start building a house, and Liang should also choose an auspicious day. When the new house is completed, she people should hold a grand ceremony to enter the house, entertain relatives and friends, and give gifts to the guests of Zhao banquet.
