The romanticism of the Lancang River, the result of the divination of the cow is bound to be auspicious!

In 1950, the People's Liberation Army stationed in Xishuangbanna, thanks to the Dai wise man Zhao Jingha who came out of the river to welcome them. But how to win the hearts of the people completely, how to win the approval of the headman and the Tusi, is a big problem. Who would have thought that just a 76-word stele would end the struggle of 26 ethnic minorities in twelve Banna? Minorities live in the Lancang Dam, for thousands of years they have entrusted their lives to nature, they have suffered from the persecution of the Xuanwei Division and the white dog bandits, and cannot imagine the possibility of "the world getting better". Ethnic barriers are deep, even with the prejudice of "black-hearted Han people". Unlike the coercion of the white dog to send guns, the ethnic work team sent the people the necessary medicines, salt, mirrors, water bottles and other necessities when they entered the mountains and forests. They follow local customs, unite all forces that can be united, even if the son of Zhang Jun's political commissar is held hostage, they do not forget to treat diseases and save people, and speak about current affairs. In order to promote the great unity of all ethnic groups, they sincerely invited the prestigious headmen of all tribes to participate in the parade ceremony for the first anniversary of National Day in Beijing. To show sincerity, they also readily agreed to all difficult requests. Seeing is believing, the new atmosphere of New China has subverted the inherent cognition of the mountain village. The cordial reception of the founders of New China, the thoughtful and appropriate highest courtesy, won the heartfelt support of the representatives. The most touching is the sacrifice of Zha A Long. He is a brave pioneer. When all the big headmen in Banna are hesitating and unwilling to leave the mountain village, after all, the road ahead is long and life and death are unpredictable. He was the first to stand up, willing to represent the Tiananmen parade ceremony. A Long toured Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing and other places, saw a new world where everyone is equal, and the grand occasion of ethnic unity. He knows that that is the future worth striving for and looking forward to, and that is the good day that the mountain village should pass. Eyes that have been opened can no longer be closed. As the adopted son of the headman, A Long has the mission to follow the guidance of light, and he should find a new way out for the tribe. The Pula headman was unwilling to compromise and was dug out by the white dog. The adoptive father also decided to rebel with guns under the temptation of the white dog's son, in the illusory bubble of the Wa king. A Long would rather not be the son of the Wa king, but also pursue the future of the nation. Unfortunately, he was insignificant and was imprisoned after failing to persuade him. For the sky of the Wa people, for the hope of a nation, for the promise to the head of state in Beijing, he can only do something powerful, awaken the tribesmen to see the road under their feet, and choose their own destiny. He resisted his father for the first time, wearing a blanket brought back from Beijing, sacrificed his own life, and expressed his final attitude and determination. He used his 19-year-old life to exchange for the peace of the Wa village and the good days of the Wa people. From sending supplies and warmth to the mountain village, to inviting 35 headmen and representatives to Beijing to watch the ceremony. From A Long's attitude of expressing determination with his life, to finally setting up a monument symbolizing collective will of the National Federation. The work team exchanged utensils, and also exchanged feelings with feelings, exchanged the hearts of the mountain village, and drank the same river water with the same heart and virtue. Unity is a kind of mind, and it is also a kind of ability. The work team step by step knocked on the door of the hearts of the ethnic minorities, dispelled their concerns about survival and development, and solved the problems of traditional customs and integration in a spring rain. For the first time in the drama, I saw the mysterious cow-stealing ceremony and drinking curse water. I have to say that this decision is very courageous and wise. The Biao Niu Oath is a traditional sacrificial activity of the Wa people, and it is also a form of divination when the tribe encounters major resolutions, alliances, resolves conflicts, and encounters disasters. Since we want to solve the problem of ethnic unity, we must use the way that the ethnic group approves to solve it. Respect local customs and rules, see local needs and demands, is the greatest sincerity. Just like the concentric wine and concentric dishes (raw meat) that entered the mountain village, if you eat and drink, you are brothers, and if you recognize the rules, you can trust the future. Under the auspicious result of the cow-stealing ceremony, drink the curse water mixed with cow blood and strong wine, and willingly "listen to the words and follow the walk". In fact, it doesn't matter which side the cow's head is facing, the result of the people's conversion is certain. The cow's head may not be able to guarantee food and clothing, but the custom of hunting each other's heads will definitely bring endless disputes. In traditional ceremonies, whether it is a bearded handsome man or a sacred cow's head, it doesn't matter. Just as Mao Zedong said, it's your own decision. The most important thing is the witness of the unity of all people and the trust established by common beliefs. The Lancang River is long and the sky is wide and the clouds are far away.
