Breathtaking. Giant trees kept sunlight away from the heart of the holy forest. Even birds vanished. Arcane song in an unfamiliar language, perhaps also the glimmer strike notes from all women's silver jewelries, are the only sounds I heard. I stood in the middle of the crowd which formed by 88 female relatives I barely know, dressed in a suit of exotic dress that would be superseded by another in 15 minutes, and felt faint. The oldest woman in tribe came to me with a blue and black dress; solemnity showed on her face...
It is not a movie or a day-dream; I experienced this ritual called "costume changing" as an Adulthood Ceremony for Yi girls, personally. A half of my blood belongs to Yi, one of the 55 Chinese minorities that inhabit in the southeast China, though I never paid attention. So, my mom took me to the tribe in my 17, to, quote, "let you gain some respect to your blood".
And I suddenly did, after experienced this holy moment. My interest and understanding of Yi dramatically increased. The awfulness to humanity-nature harmony makes Yi people live a naive or even original life, but hundreds of times happier than city dwellers, while have a strong responsibility to their living environment, because trees are their gods, birds and dogs are their benefactors. I hope one day I can bring this part of my cultural diversity to Michigan, and also my reverence to nature and humanity. I feel a strong impulse to share my viewpoint of simple and joyful life like Yi's, and their special singing and dancing style, with Michigan.
