Chapter 17 5. Make love, in the name of God

The climax and aftertaste of the sacrifice is the bonfire party. It is necessary, even indispensable.In fact, the sacrificial etiquette in the primitive era was not about following the rules and solemnity, but singing and dancing, sharing the blessings of God. Singing and dancing is also a gift to the gods. Gifts are undoubtedly plentiful. The first is "sacrifice" (meat) and "Qi Sheng" (grain).They are served in "beans".Bean is an ancient tableware, similar to a tall plate, and some have a cover.Inside are three pork heads, braised mutton and Yangzhou fried rice.This was the "Manchu Banquet" at that time.

The second is "jade silk", that is, jade articles and bundles of silk.This is the "red envelope", which is placed in a container.Sacrifice, Sheng Sheng, jade, and bundles of silk are collectively called "sacrifice jade". Of course, gods cannot eat food and meat, nor can they take things away.Yubo and the like will probably be reused.The sacrifice is eaten by the ethnic groups after the ceremony, which is called 胙肉 (胙 read as doing).Sharing food is not entirely out of fear of waste, but also because the meat already has God's blessing.Divide and eat, just to share peace.

Sacrifice and Sheng are for eating, jade and silk are for use, and singing and dancing are for watching and playing.This is also shared by humans and gods.No one knows whether the gods will insist on watching the show.Perhaps, after enjoying the feast, taking away the red envelopes, and watching some programs, they are satisfied and want to go back to the heaven or the mountains to take a nap.However, the ethnic groups who ate the gizzard meat were still unsatisfied and interested.After all, it is impossible to invite God to dinner every day.Since this day is equivalent to a holiday, why not turn it into a carnival?

The bonfire party will last all night if it doesn't work out. What kind of song and dance is that!On the pottery pots unearthed in Sunjiazhai, Datong County, Qinghai Province, we saw such a scene: a group of five, holding hands, turned their heads to one side and turned their bodies to one side.On their heads, there is a thing floating, which is suspected to be a braid; between their legs, there is a thing, which is suspected to be an ornament. laugh!Is this the hand-waving dance of the Tujia people?Is this the Naxi bonfire dance?Is this Tibetan Da Aga?Is this the Uyghur Maixilaifu?

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe, it is.Such primitive singing and dancing must be devout yet brutal, warm and rigorous.It was the manifestation of the vitality of the ancestors in the solemn ceremony.It is said that musical instruments were invented by Nuwa and Fuxi.Therefore, we can completely describe it in this way: as drunk as mad, in high spirits, Fuxi Qinse, Nuwa Shenghuang. What deserves attention is the thing that is suspected to be an ornament between the legs. Yes, it should be.But the so-called waist ornaments of primitive people have always been suspicious.They are often leaves torn from some trees, feathers picked up from the ground, or tails of squirrels and wild dogs, which are extremely poor in shelter and highly decorative.Anthropological studies have shown that these girdles were reserved for balls.

This is really trying to cover up. It is not difficult to imagine that the moonlight is hazy, the flames are elegant, and on the crazy swinging and fast-rotating naked body, only a certain part has flickering pearls and swaying tassels, what kind of stimulation it will give young men and women who are in full bloom. Therefore, at the end of the party, I am afraid that they will not sing "Unforgettable Tonight" together, but go to the depths of the dense forest to have sex in twos and threes.Individuals who are impatient may not be able to wait for that moment. Make love, in the name of God.

Make love, before God. This is the ancient ritual and music.It is a feast of God and a feast of love. No fuss.In primitive times, diet and men and women were originally two sides of the same thing, two hands of the same goal.This goal and this matter are survival and development.God, of course, approves. This is the main theme of the sacrificial ceremony and bonfire party.
