Local customs

The explanation of Totem

The word "totem" comes from the transliteration of Ojibwa dialect of Algonquin tribe of North American Indians, which means "his relatives". Yangshuo totem ancient road ancient totem originated from the early human witchcraft etiquette activities. Totem, or emblem, is a strict ethnic symbol. When the primitive people settled down in a place, something closely related to their life, either beneficial or harmful, made them worship. This is the primitive totem. At this time, the natural totem worship is a symbol to distinguish different human groups. In the process of coexisting with them, primitive people regarded them as protective gods. At the end of primitive society, tribal chiefs and nobles in slave society took advantage of totem God's lofty position among the people to say that they were the representatives of ancestral gods in the world, so there appeared a large number of ancestral symbols, that is, a large number of artistic images of the unity of people and animals and plants. When greeting ZENGPI people, for example, saying hello means putting your hand on your mouth and making a yawning sound. Goodbye means putting your hand on your left chest and saying "Ni Mo". At home, people are almost naked, and their dark skin is covered with ancient fables.
