【大扬·展讯】2018平遥国际摄影大展：白建国—《云南祭火节》

每年农历二月初三，位于云南弥勒县西一镇红万村，彝族阿细人都要举行隆重而精彩的回归自然的神秘盛典---阿细祭火节。 阿细是彝族的一个支系。阿细人崇尚火，一生都与火结缘，他们从生下来要在火塘边进行命名仪式。他们认为，是火给人们带来了光明和温暖，带来了熟食，驱走了凶猛的野兽，因此把火尊为神。阿细的祖先们为了感谢火，每年都要定期举行祭火仪式，这个习俗一直流传至今，有上千年的历史。

Every year on the third day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Axi people of the Yi nationality from Hongwan Village, Xiyi Town, Mile County, Yunnan Province hold a grand and wonderful festival, Axi Fire Worship, to advocate nature. Axi is a branch of Yi nationality. The Ashi people advocate fire and have been closely related to it all their lives. For example, they will accept the naming ceremony near the fireplace soon after their birth. They believe that it is fire that gives people light, warmth and cooked food and drives away fierce beasts, so they regard fire as god.  In order to thank the fire, Ashi's ancestors held regular ceremonies to worship the fire every year, which have lasted for thousands of years.
