Chapter 39 Section 2 The Revenge Story of the Oroqen "Mosu Kun" Heroes

The Oroqen people live in the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains in northeast my country.Before liberation, the remnants of the original commune were retained, and the system of common labor and equal distribution was implemented. "Olunchun" is self-proclaimed, and there are two explanations, one is people who use reindeer, and the other is "people on the mountains".They have their own language but no writing. Both men and women are good at riding and shooting. They mainly live on hunting. They believe in Shamanism and worship their ancestors.In the 1980s, in Xin'e Township, Xunke County, in the Zhanhe River Basin at the northern foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in Heilongjiang Province, a rap literature similar to the "Imakan" of the Hezhen nationality was discovered, called "Mosu Kun".Folks use this form to express various contents, such as conquering nature, conquering the devil, expressing steadfast love and so on.

There is no written record about the origin of "Mosu Kun", but there is an extremely sad story among the people: a girl who died of her biological parents was abused by her sister-in-law. Go to a place far away from the mountains to be a continuation (a man will remarry after losing his wife).Her husband enslaved her like his first wife, and at the age of 16, he ended his life.Her lover was distraught on her grave, and suddenly heard a weeping dirge in his ears.Wherever he goes, the singing will accompany him and never stop.Over time, hunters called it "Mosu Kun".The Oroqen people call the outstanding hunter "Morigen".The famous "Mosukun" hero revenge story among them is the long work "Hero Gepaqian".

Gepa is the son of a hunter and a fish spirit. When he was young, his parents were taken away by the devil Ma Ni (mani horse mud).He miraculously grew up quickly, with the help of a bird, a flying BMW and a gorgeous set of clothes.Along the way, he has withstood various tests and won the trust and support of many heroes from other tribes through martial arts competitions. The checkpoints set up by King Tiger and King Boa continue to gallop northeast. The BMW came to the seaside with Gepaqian on its back. There were many strange rocks and rocks on the coast, green smoke and thick fog permeated the dangerous mountains, and the blue-black sea water was foaming.Gopa owed his horse to get into the thick green smoke and fog. He lifted the fog and looked forward. He saw a large stone platform halfway up the mountain, and many caves, surrounded by log fences.There are three gates in the courtyard.Standing next to the first gate was an old man, wearing a ragged robe, emaciated, disheveled, and pale. That was Gopa's father.Standing next to the second gate was a woman with disheveled hair and a sad face. That was his mother.Gepa was so sad that he couldn't cry, but the fence with pointed round wooden poles blocked his way. He called desperately, but his parents couldn't even take a step forward. It turned out that one of their hands had been nailed to the door frame by an iron nail. on.

Gepa owed a battle outside the gate, and wanted to call out Ma Ni to fight.As soon as Ma Ni appeared, his whole body filled the big stone platform.Gepa owed every shot to the head of the Magi, but was knocked back every time.The two sides fought against each other for three days and three nights, and many young mammoths were killed or injured on the side of mammoth.There is also a very powerful demon eagle under Ma Ni, which is very powerful, but it is finally defeated by the BMW owed by Gepa. When the two sides were in a stalemate, all the brothers Gepa owed allied with along the way arrived. There were 106 heroes in total, including an old hunter's girl.It happened that Gepa was knocked unconscious by Ma Ni, and the girl took good care of him and woke him up.

Ma Ni has an unusual ability, his head can grow back after being cut off.Once, his neck was cut by Gepaqian, and after a while, another giant protruded from the wound, which made Gepaqian feel very embarrassed, knowing that in order to conquer Ma Ni, he must first find his soul .BMW traveled all over the dangerous mountains and mountains, and finally found a forest in the mountain stream near the sky. In the forest, there were three big trees. There was a nest hidden in the top of the tree. There were nine giant eggs in the nest, which were the eggs of the mammoth. soul.It is guarded by demon eagles and three venomous triceratops.Gepa and BMW first got rid of the demon eagle, then shot three giant snakes to death, and took away nine giant eggs.This egg can't be thrown early or late, it can only be thrown out when Ma Yi is about to die, and Ma Ya will be completely finished.

Although Ma Ni died, Gepa owed his parents still not to be liberated.Because Ma Ni's ninth wife is about to give birth, the baby Ma Ni will be more vicious, no force can destroy him, and he can only be eliminated before he comes out of the mother's womb. Gepa owed to get rid of the entanglement of the eight wives of Ma Ni, killed and chopped them all, and then split the ninth banshee in half from head to toe. A baby mammoth popped out of her belly.Fortunately, he jumped out instead of being born, otherwise Gepaqiao would have wasted all his efforts, wasted a lot, and would even be killed by the little mammoth.

The little mammoth was only very small at first, but it grew longer and longer as it fought. At first, it was a parry, but later it was changed to attack. Obviously, Gepa was not strong enough to match.The BMW sent its tired owner to a meadow by the river, where he fell asleep, and flew away.It turned out that on a larch tree by the river, there was a nest containing the soul of a young mammoth, guarded by a big demon eagle.While Yaoying was asleep, Baoma took out the seven iron files in the nest and broke them off.The little mammoth immediately rolled on the ground and was shot to death by Gepa.

When people were celebrating their victory, unexpectedly, the river was rolling with waves, the water column soared into the sky, and the flood was coming.Bao Bao told the owner that this was caused by the magic of the little mammoth, and only by letting it go into the water to fight with the mammoth could the disaster in the world be avoided.After speaking, tears flowed like a fountain.It whimpered for a while, then shook its silver mane, raised its long tail, and plunged into the waves.Three days later, the weather was calm and BMW was afloat, traumatized. Gepa is not only a conqueror of natural violence, but also a hero who avenges the clan and tribe. His heroic character is relatively complete, and he is quite close to the hero of an ordinary heroic epic.The epic is filled with a cult of male heroes who are real-life hunters.The production tools for hunting are mainly horses, bows and arrows, so horses and arrows have a special status in the works.Especially horses, because they are alive and completely personified.BMW is loyal to its master, and its death is very heroic.

The Oroqen, who mainly focus on hunting, have a different attitude towards eagles than the Hezhen, who focus on fishing.Because daily big eagles become a catastrophe for hunters, such is the case in forest areas, so the eagles of "Mosu Kun" are all demon eagles without exception.Hunters have developed superb skills in shooting eagles, and archers can even shoot down a series of eagles with one arrow, so demon eagles must be defeated by heroes. Gopa owes nothing to the heroes of "Imakan" in unarmed combat.He not only has sharp arrows, but also all kinds of sophisticated metal weapons given to him by his brothers.There are war scenes in the epic, and more than a hundred people participated in the battle, and they have begun to take on the scale and vigor of a tribal war.

The "Mosu Kun" heroic revenge story is a step forward compared with the "Imakan" heroic revenge story.From the analysis of ideology, it reflects a typical patriarchal society, without class oppression, and resisting foreign aggression has become the obligation of the whole clan.Whoever can win the revenge battle is the most admired hero. Shamanism, which the Oroqen people believed in before liberation, is prominently reflected in the works as the concept of the soul, the independent existence of the soul, and mutual transformation.Therefore, the theory that the soul is placed on other things has appeared many times, and the hope of continuing life is placed on the belief in the independence of the soul.This is a very primitive way of thinking, belonging to primitive religious fantasies.Today, we certainly don't believe in the independent existence of the soul, but we might as well treat it as an artistic technique.Its beauty is simple, reflecting the aesthetic ideal of primitive primitive people.
