ethnic customs

Toast culture

The Buyi people in Wangyou are hospitable. They often use wine to express their hospitality, selflessness, friendliness and enthusiasm. However, the custom of offering wine to guests varies from village to village, with different forms and contents. In order to offer a toast to the guests, the male host must drink two glasses first, which means "you came with two feet". The two glasses should be drunk in one gulp. From the third cup, the host can drink at will. At a certain time, the host, together with the girls and daughters-in-law, stood behind the guests with a wine bowl and a wine sea in hand. Start with the elders and finish one round, then do the opposite. Some hospitable people, in order to keep the guests stay, women will choose a "key" guest, and urge them to get drunk, so that "the dragon has no head", so they have to stay obediently. Buyi people's true feelings can be described as "wine is like a person", which is intoxicating.

Chicken head wine

Every festival celebrations and VIP guests come to the door, we must kill chickens to prepare wine to entertain guests. Some of the main guests will kill chickens, which is called "phoenix head". After entering the banquet, the host will present the "phoenix head" to the main guests with both hands. After the guests take the "phoenix head", they will drink a glass of wine, and then point the chicken head to other guests, indicating that they will drink together.

Turn around the wine

Buyi people have the custom of drinking Zhuanzhuan wine, which contains two different contents and forms. One is that when people are drinking, they sit in a circle with only one bowl of wine on the table. The people present here pass the bowls of wine one by one in order to show that they are intimate and have no suspicion. The other refers to the same village, take home as a unit, take turns to invite foreign guests, also known as Zhuanzhuan wine. Wang You's Buyi people have the saying that "one family comes and the whole village is close to each other". Therefore, this kind of drinking is particularly popular in Buyi villages. The relatives, neighbors and all the families in the village have to take turns to transfer the guests who come, otherwise they will be regarded as out of group. Jiaobei liquor, a distinctive wine custom, prevailed in Wang you. There are three forms of making a cup of wine: one is that two people each hold a cup, pass it to each other's mouth at the same time, and drink it at the same time; the other is that the host and guest raise their glasses to each other's arms, and then drink their own wine at the same time. These two kinds are mostly the wine custom of the host when he toasts to the guests. Taking the cup means "friendship" and "heart to heart". The third is in the group banquet, people sit around, each holding a bowl, at the same time along the same direction to the mouth of the adjacent guests, and then drink at the same time, this custom is heartfelt, heartfelt. Generally speaking, the road blocking liquor is on the only way to enter the village. The main party prepares the liquor and waits in the middle of the road. Some even set up obstacles on the road. When the guests arrive, they first persuade them to drink by singing wine songs. After drinking, they have to enter the village. Some hosts and guests still need to sing songs to each other before they can drink. The Buyi people usually have three or five ways to block the way, and 12 ways can be set for more. It's really the so-called "cut six generals after five passes". If they have a mediocre amount of wine, they have already been deterred. However, Wang You's nation is civilized. If you are not good at drinking, remember not to touch the wine cup with your hands. Just drink the wine offered by girl Buyi and you can cross the "pass". If you have a large amount of wine, you have to finish the bowl or horn.
