What are the customs and habits of the Oroqen people?

On the morning of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month and the Spring Festival every year, Oroqen families worship Vulcan, burn incense to bonfires, throw a piece of meat and sprinkle a glass of wine. When guests come to pay a New Year call, they also worship the fire first, and then throw a piece of meat and a glass of wine into the fire (mostly brought by guests).

2. clothes

In the long-term hunting life, the Oroqen nationality has its own characteristics and created a fur clothing culture with national characteristics. Suede is not only durable and wear-resistant, but also has good cold resistance. Animal skins in different seasons can be made into different kinds of clothes. For example, in autumn and winter, the fur of roe deer is long and dense, with thick and strong skin and strong cold resistance, which is suitable for winter clothing. The fur of roe deer in summer is sparse and short, which is suitable for spring and summer clothing. The Oroqen people's costumes are mainly robes, including fur robes, fur coats, leather pants, leather pants, leather boots, leather socks, leather gloves, leather vests and scalp hats. The most distinctive is the scalp cap. This kind of hat is made of the intact scalp of roe deer. The method is to peel off the scalp of the roe deer, cook it, paste black skin on two holes around the eyes, cut off two ears, sew two artificial ears with the skin of the roe deer, and keep the horns as usual. This kind of hat not only keeps out the cold and keeps warm, but also is an excellent camouflage for hunting. It is said that if you don't wear two fake ears, the hunters in the distance will mistakenly think that it is a real roe deer and get hurt by accident.

Step 3 prescribe diet

In the past, all kinds of animal meat have been the staple food. Usually one or two meals are eclipsed, and the meal time is not fixed. In recent years, there are many varieties of rice and flour in the daily diet of Oroqen people, and bread jiaozi is also very common. Oroqen people eat all kinds of meat. In addition to all kinds of wild animals in the forest, they also prey on birds and fish in the river. The most common food is yak meat, followed by yak meat, which is regarded as delicious. Adult men of Oroqen nationality like to drink. They drink two kinds of wine. One is koumiss, which is fermented with koumiss, millet and millet for a week, and then steamed in a steamer for every household to brew. The other is liquor, mostly imported from other places.

4. Architecture

"Xie Renzhu" is the Oroqen language, which means "wooden house". It is a simple conical house made of twenty or thirty wooden poles with a length of five or six meters and animal skin or birch bark. The structure of the inclined column is very simple: firstly, several wooden poles with branches at the top can be meshed with each other to form a conical frame with an inclination of about 60 degrees, and then other wooden poles are evenly placed between these main frames to form an umbrella-shaped skeleton. Covered with deerskin or birch bark, an "inclined column" is built, which can protect against rain in summer and cold in winter. There should be a gap at the top of the inclined column, so that it can ventilate and smoke when making a fire, and it can light up. There is also a door to the south or southeast, which can let people in and out. The covering on the inclined column should change with the season. In winter, the climate is cold, so it is often covered with bark. A diagonal column needs about fifty or sixty skins. When the weather gets warmer in spring, you can change birch bark. Inclined columns are mostly built in the leeward and sunny places of hillsides, and in summer they are mostly built in places with higher terrain and cool ventilation. The inclined column structure is simple, the cover is easy to take off, and the raw materials used are almost readily available. It is the product of Oroqen hunting life. After settling down, most Oroqen people lived in spacious and bright brick or civil houses. This relatively primitive mobile house is only built occasionally during hunting in autumn and winter, for shelter from rain or temporary cold.

5. Religion

The Oroqen people believe in Shamanism. The animistic religious view led to the polytheism of Oroqen nationality. The Oroqen people believe that natural mountains, rivers, trees, wind, rain, lightning, sun, moon and stars all have gods. When hunting, every time I meet an old tree, a high cliff or a cave, I think it is the "white" habitat of the mountain god, and I dare not make any noise. You should kowtow for meat and pray for a bumper harvest.
