There is a myth and legend that the Hani people opened up the land for farming and the living environment of the wild animals was disturbed, so the wild animals sued the Hani people. During the festival of June Year, the Hani people will perform a festival in the square called ? Polishing Autumn? Polishing Autumn is an activity that the Hani people have been carrying on in order to stop themselves from living in pain and to repay the God who helped them, and they have been carrying on this traditional custom.
01, the Hani people over the June year, was originally a suffering thing
Hani people in order to survive, sometimes will be reclaimed, in order to facilitate farming. But some beasts in the mountains felt that such activities of the Hani people made their lives disturbed, so these beasts went to the God of Heaven, saying that the Hani people encroach on their homes without any evil. Then the Deaf God felt that the Hani people had gone too far, and chose to bring punishment to the Hani people by making them kill and sacrifice to the sky in the month of June.
02, Apime Smoke God thought of a way to save the lives of the Hani people
Apime Smoke God looked and felt that this is very unfair to the Hani people, but the Deaf God has ordered, Apime Smoke God is not good to not give people face, so had to find another way to help the Hani people to think of a way. The Hani people came up with a solution. He told the Hani people about an activity called Polishing Autumn, which the Hani people could do when June came around to circumvent this trumped-up charge. When June came, the Hani people polished the fall and roared in the air, and the beast felt that this punishment was strong enough, so he went home.
03, after becoming a national culture, is held every year
With the development of time, this activity has gradually become the characteristic culture of the Hani people . People would put on colorful and beautiful costumes and come to the square to polish the autumn in June. This activity is actually similar to the seesaw we play, but more ornamental and more culturally significant. It is often started by some of the older members of the clan, after which others can play with their friends two together. Many Hani people find their other half at this festival.
