about

HUA MIAO WEDDING IN SICHUAN CHINA

Da liangshan in mountainous southern part of Sichuan is home of various Tibetan, Yi,and other smaller ethnic groups, like this small community of Flower Hmong or Hua Miao in chinese, they migrated from Guizhou ( where nowadays 9 millions MIAO people live) in the 19th century and establish themselves up in mountains around Muli, southern Sichuan. The main music instrument is the mouthorgan, lushen in chinese, the hulushen ( bamboo tubes mounted on a gourd) is the predominant kind of mouthorgan being used for entertainment, where the long tubes lushen mounted on a wooden resonance box is here used only for funerals. They do not follow Tibetan Buddhism, like others do in this part of Sichuan under tibetan influence, but have their own animist belief system.

12 tracks : wedding ceremony dance, a Hulushen player is in the center of a crowd turning around with men responding singing to women, inside the wooden house of the wedding.
The steps of the dancers are hitting the wooden floor of the new house, covered with fresh pine trees branches.
