Li Nationalitys Wood Drilling and Fire making Techniques
Li people's wood-drilling and fire-making skills, Hainan Province's local traditional handicraft, one of the national intangible cultural heritage.
When the technique is used to make fire, the drill rod is inserted into a small hole with the foot on the drill fire board, and the drill rod is rubbed by both hands, so that the mechanical energy can be turned into heat energy to generate Mars, which falls down along the trough and ignites the ignition. When the igniter smokes, the air is blown quickly to assist the ignition, which leads to the fire.
In 2006, the technology of drilling wood and making fire of Li nationality was approved by the State Council and listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, number: _-87.
historical origin
According to historical records, about 3000 years ago during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the ancestors of the Li Nationality had settled in Hainan Island. Until the Ming Dynasty, the Li Nationality was still distributed throughout the island. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, with a large number of Han people from the mainland migrating to Hainan, the phenomenon of ethnic assimilation and migration in the island became more and more serious. A small number of Li people from the northern part of the island moved southward, most of them assimilated into the Han people. Today, Li people mainly live in the central and southern part of Hainan Island. It is in this hot soil of Hainan Island that the Li people have experienced a long history of accumulation and gradually formed their own unique culture. It is in this unique culture that the ancient skill of drilling wood and making fire has been spread to this day.
Lizu's wood-drilling and fire-making skills are mainly preserved in Sanya, Wuzhishan, Dongfang and other cities in the south-central part of Hainan Island, as well as Li's agglomeration areas in Qiongzhong, Baoting, Lingshui, Ledong, Changjiang and Baisha counties.
Process characteristics
producer
Lizu's wood-drilling and fire-making is one of all kinds of artificial fire-making techniques in ancient times, which has distinct regional characteristics. According to the production custom of Li nationality, the ignition of pottery must be carried out in the way of "drilling wood to make fire". Because it takes a lot of endurance to drill a wooden pole out of Mars, women can't do it, and weak old men can't do it.
Skill
In order to make the invisible Mars become a vigorous flame, one must have a medium, that is, to ignite it with flammable corduroy, banana root fiber, kapok and so on, and to lose the opportunity of oxygen transfusion, in order to achieve the purpose of fire.
Technological process
Lizu wood-drilling and fire-making tools are composed of fire-drilling board and drill pipe (or bow wood). The fire drill board is cut with soft numbness, generally 35 cm long, 7-10 cm wide and 3-5 cm thick. On one side of the fire drill board, a number of small holes are dug, and the bottom of the holes is a flowing ash trough, from which Mars falls. Drill pipe (or bow) is 50-60 cm long, made of hard miscellaneous wood, 3-5 cm in diameter, with a slightly pointed lower end, such as a cone. In addition, corduroy, banana root fiber, kapok and so on are used as ignition materials. When the fire is started, the drill pipe is inserted into a small hole with the foot on the drill fire board, and the drill fire rod or bow is rubbed by both hands, so that the mechanical energy can be converted into heat energy, resulting in Mars. Mars fell down the trough and ignited the ignition. When the igniter smokes, it is quickly picked up and blown for combustion, which leads to fire.
Inheritance and protection
Inheritance value
Lizu's drilling wood for fire has archaeological and historical value. As a cultural relic, the drill board, the drill rod or the bow wood can not speak. It is a kind of dead fossil. It is difficult to explain the process of drilling wood to make fire by these data alone. This can only be helped by the relevant ethnological materials as "living fossils".
Inheritance status
Nowadays, the necessity of drilling wood to make fire has long ceased to exist. There are not many people who know this skill. These old folk artists still have the method of drilling wood to make fire, and they need to take measures to rescue and protect it urgently.
