Chapter 96: The five animals receive auspiciousness and offer hada to the Immortal Heaven!
The off-road vehicle drove slowly towards the endless wilderness.
Tomorrow is the harvest celebration event held at Maodeng Ranch in Xilin Gol. Jiang Feng went to see it a day early today.
On the grassland, there is another name for such harvest celebration activities:
The five animals are auspicious.
The Five Animals Naxiang Festival is a traditional harvest celebration activity of the Mongolian people. It is a ceremony for herdsmen to express their gratitude and joy to the grassland.
It just so happens that farmers and herdsmen across the country are holding harvest festivals in the past few years, so the harvest festival on the grassland is held together with the Five Animals Acceptance Festival.
Jiang Feng went early because he was a participant in this harvest festival.
Several yurts have been set up in the wilderness, and the yurts are covered with colorful flags. The flags are connected to each other, creating a festive and festive atmosphere.
After Jiang Feng arrived at his destination, he got out of the car.
Seeing him coming, Gao Ge, the head of Xilin Gol's propaganda department, smiled and came over to say hello.
"Boss Jiang, welcome!"
"Hello." Jiang Feng replied politely.
Gao Ge is a Mongolian, but his name is biased towards Han people. Nowadays, some Mongolian people use Han names, and the distinction is not so obvious.
"You are an important figure in this harvest festival! We take from nature and return to nature. Our emotions for the grassland should be seen by more people." Gaoge said with a smile.
What he meant was that he hoped Jiang Feng would publicize this event more. After all, it was a political achievement, and the greater the influence, the greater the political achievement.
Jiang Feng naturally knew what Gao Ge meant, and he replied: "I will introduce it live. There are many people interested in the Harvest Festival."
"I also want more people to see the culture of the grassland."
Hearing this, Gao Ge smiled even more happily, "That's good, we should promote the culture of the grassland."
Jiang Feng looked into the distance.
Several pens have been fenced here.
At that time, the cattle and sheep will be put in it for people to choose from.
There will be a yellow tag attached to the cow's ear to identify the cow.
Some people also came here in advance. When Jiang Feng appeared, many people pointed their mobile phones at him to take pictures.
Nowadays, through self-media, people will post interesting things online.
Jiang Feng confirmed the location of his cattle and sheep tomorrow and agreed to deliver them early tomorrow morning.
There are also small performances and small competitions at the Harvest Festival.
The performance is simply dancing, and the competition is a dairy product taste competition, which is to compare which dairy product is better.
All dairy product brands participate, launch several new dairy products, make them look better, and then give awards.
These have nothing to do with Jiang Feng, who is more interested in going to the market.
There will be many sellers selling agricultural products here, so it will be no problem to pick some good ones.
So Jiang Feng worked here all afternoon, learned about the details of the Harvest Festival, and also accepted an interview with the TV station.
The interview is just about saying something to celebrate the harvest, wishing the grassland good weather in the coming year and so on.
Then, he went back to his pasture.
The next day, early in the morning.
The truck pulled the cattle and sheep away from the pasture, and Jiang Feng also took the employees to the harvest festival.
There are many vehicles parked in the parking area.
But the space here is so big that no matter how many cars there are, it can be parked.
Jiang Feng stopped the car, packed up the live broadcast equipment, raised the drone into the sky, and started the live broadcast.
The scene outside is very lively.
People from many surrounding villages have long heard about the Harvest Festival and came here early to sell their agricultural products.
There are also some people who come here from Xilin Gol City just to watch the excitement.
The number of people in the live broadcast room began to increase.
The ceremony of receiving auspiciousness from the five animals is about to begin, and Jiang Feng is invited to the front to participate.
Externally, his propaganda efforts are stronger than the news in the city.
After all, news from the city can only reach the province, but Jiang Feng’s live broadcast can be transmitted to all parts of the country.
I saw five wooden sticks stuck in the wasteland not far away, with a domestic animal tied to each stick, namely:
Horses, cattle, camels, sheep, goats.
There were many Mongolian people around, all wearing their national costumes and looking ready to sing and dance at any time.
I saw an elderly Mongolian chanting a blessing to the sky, and the surrounding Mongolians watched devoutly.
The elderly Mongolian man also held a long white hada in his hand.
There are more and more netizens in the live broadcast room.
Such a lively festival always attracts many people to watch.
Jiang Feng told everyone:
"The ceremony of receiving auspiciousness from the five animals is being carried out now."
"The oldest one can sing blessings in Mongolian to express the Mongolian people's respect and love for the grassland."
"Then we have to offer Hada to the Changsheng Heaven and wish the grassland good luck."
After his words fell, the Mongolian elders finished singing the congratulatory words, and then made a gesture of offering hada to the sky.
After the ceremony, several Mongolian men and women walked next to the elder, holding a silver bowl in their hands that seemed to be filled with grease.
【It’s so lively, what are they holding in their hands?】
[Why are there five domestic animals tied to the pillars, are they meant to be killed for sacrifice?]
[Good guy, this is an activity to receive auspiciousness from animals, not a cult sacrificial activity. How can it be possible to kill animals!]
[It is the Mongolian people’s praise and feedback to the grassland!]
Netizens were discussing lively in the live broadcast room.
Jiang Feng saw the barrage and explained with a smile:
"This is the last ritual for the five animals to receive good luck."
"The holy silver bowl contains the purest dairy product: butter."
"The elders will smear the heads of the 'five animals' with butter, and sprinkle grains symbolizing harvest on them, wishing good weather, abundant harvests, and prosperity in the new year."
With the explanation, everyone understood the process of the Five Animals Acceptance Ceremony.
Indeed, as Jiang Feng said, the Mongolian elders put butter on their hands and smeared it on the heads of horses, cows, camels, goats, and sheep.
Then, several Mongolians held some millet in their hands and gently threw it towards their heads.
Accompanied by a burst of cheers, this year's Five Animals Acceptance Ceremony ended.
People laughed happily.
Because the aquatic plants this year are relatively luxuriant, everyone can count it as a "bumper harvest."
Then, the person in charge of Xilin Gol made a speech, saying something like thanking the superior leaders for responding to the call of the organization.
Then there was a performance team singing and dancing.
As the melodious Mongolian tunes played, everyone danced happily in the middle, and the atmosphere became more and more joyful.
Once the performance is over, the officially organized activities will end here, and the rest will be free trade for the herdsmen.
There are many retail investors here, and no business license is required. As long as they are local residents, they can directly sell poultry, livestock, or meat here.
They are all engaged in animal husbandry, so there are no pitfalls.
What people see most are the cattle and sheep in the pens on both sides.
The cattle and sheep that can be brought here are all of the best quality, and the price is a little more expensive than the market price.
However, in order to create a festive atmosphere and celebrate the auspiciousness of the five animals, the demand for these cattle and sheep exceeds supply.
Jiang Feng walked among the crowd.
Someone was selling pork beside the cart, and it was all freshly killed pork.
After Jiang Feng saw it, he sighed:
