Q: 20 17 What is the 25th day of the seventh lunar month? A: July 25th of the 20th/Kloc-7th lunar month is the Lugu Lake Mountain Festival of Mosuo people.

Wagua, also known as Lugu Lake Mountain Festival, is popular in Ninglang Yi Autonomous County. This is a festival for Mosuo people to worship Mount Gemnu. It is held on July 25th of the lunar calendar (around the Millennium), and it is the biggest festival of Mosuo people in a year.

Mosuo people believe that the fog on Gemu Mountain directly affects the agriculture in Lugu Lake area, so they regard the harvest day around the Millennium as a festival to respect mountains and rivers. At that time, Mosuo people dressed in costumes went to Baoshi Mountain next to Lugu Lake to worship the goddess, burned incense and kowtowed on the mountain, hung colored prayer flags, offered offerings and prayed for the goddess' blessing.

The origin and festival activities of Zhuanshan Festival The origin of Lugu Lake Zhuanshan Festival should be regarded as the natural worship of early human beings. Mosuo people were nomadic people in ancient times, and then gradually settled in the mountains. On the banks of rivers and lakes, the earliest natural entities worshipped by Mosuo people are of course mountains and water, and turning mountains into seas is a mass activity for Mosuo people to worship natural entities.

According to folklore, Zhuanshan Festival began in Nyouwu, the ancestor of Mosuo people. According to historical records, wuyue, the ancestor of Mosuo, settled in the early Tang Dynasty and gained power in Yongning. Therefore, the Zhuanshan Festival should also begin in the early Tang Dynasty, with a history of more than 1000 years, which is an early traditional ethnic festival of ethnic minorities in China.

At first, the Zhuanshan Festival was not concentrated in Gemu Mountain, which is east of Yongning, but on which mountain Mosuo Village leaned, and the villagers went to worship that mountain. Later, people thought that the Gemu Mountain in Yongning was magnificent, leaning against the sky and holding its head high, which quite represented the temperament of Mosuo people. It was called "Sengemu" by Tibetan areas and represented the incarnation of the beautiful goddess. So Mosuo people gradually concentrated in Gemu Mountain when they turned the mountain.

People in Lugu Lake, who live at the foot of Gemu Mountain, judge the weather from the uncertain clouds on Gemu Mountain, believing that this is a signal sent by the goddess of gems to the people. For example, the local proverb says that "Gemu Mountain wears a hat and farmers sleep", which means that when dark clouds cover Gemu Mountain, it will rain heavily.

Moreover, after a long-term summary, the local people found that it was the key moment to decide the increase or decrease of grain between the summer heat and the Millennium, and it gradually became a social contract. Every year on the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, every household in Luguhu village comes to worship Gemu Mountain, praying for the goddess gem to protect people and animals and the harvest of crops.

On the first day of Zhuanshan Festival, Mosuo people began to prepare things to climb mountains. They cut off the long bamboo pole, stripped off the bamboo leaves, left only the bamboo leaves at the tip of the bamboo pole, tied them with gold banners, filled a bag of whole grains, slaughtered pigs and sheep, prepared the food for the next day's climb, and then fed the horses to bed early.

It was just as white as a fish's belly in the morning, and a series of horse bells broke the tranquility of Lugu Lake. Some Mosuo people lead horses, others ride horses, wear gorgeous clothes, bring rich food, wine and meat, and head for the Goddess Mountain in their hearts in droves.

When people go down the mountain, they should first circle their own territory, put a pot on top of three big stones, light a fire and burn tea, then worship the mountain with food and go up the mountain lightly. The Goddess Temple is located at the foot of Baoshi Mountain, which can be reached in more than 20 minutes. Although it is not big, it is full of incense. Especially on this day, nearly ten thousand people gathered here to worship the goddess in their hearts. The scene is spectacular.

On both sides of the temple gate are incense burning walls made of wood with pine branches on them. When people arrive here, they will sprinkle grains first, and then put buckwheat noodles on each pile of pine branches to pay homage, saying words of blessing for peace. They will walk around the women's temple three times, sprinkle food while turning, then insert bamboo poles, tie the Buddha statue with golden banners, and then go down the mountain after worship, so that the next round of people can come to worship the mountain. From morning to afternoon, people who worship mountains are like matchmakers.

After going down the mountain and returning to their own territory, everyone began to prepare a sumptuous lunch, mainly barbecue, roast pig and roast sheep. At this time, no matter where you go, the hospitable Mosuo people will give up your seat, put on a bowl of butter tea, take out the yellow rice cake, let you eat a little first, and then drink "Surima wine" or "Maodang wine" after the pigs and sheep are roasted.
