In the long history, the most typical manifestations of Tujia people's understanding of the white tiger culture are as follows: e. White tiger, the king of Tujia people in Chongqing, and Tujia people in Xiangxi drive the white tiger. But the state recognizes Tujia people in Xiangxi, Hubei and Chongqing. Academic circles have come to the conclusion that Tujia ancestors have different origins.
Two different views of Tujia people express the white tiger culture.
The White Tiger is a cultural symbol of China's antiquity. In ancient China, people attached great importance to the white tiger culture, which covered a wide range of fields, including numbers, astronomy, geography, folk customs and national beliefs. For example, the People's White Tiger Constellation saw "Seven Nights of the West White Tiger" in the connection of 28 stars in the sky, including kui, Lou, stomach, ang, bi and kou. In the Han Dynasty, Zhu, a court official, talked about the concept of "Five", and the concept of Zhu, a historian in the Eastern Han Dynasty, became the concept of "White tiger spread all over the world, benefiting from the same interests", which shows the seriousness of the white tiger culture.
Tiger culture is a new ancient book. The Book of Changes says: "The adult tiger is also a gentleman leopard in Zhang Wenbing, and the villain is also a obedient prince." The means of sanctification are like tigers, resolutely mutating and being angry; The best people become relatively calm like leopards; Civilians obey superficial changes and have no opinions of their own. The "line" in Li Ji's music, Zuo Qinglong and Bai Hu's correct "line" refers to the formation of marching and fighting. The parade formed a dragon, tiger and white tiger formation. Han and Su in the East recorded: "Wu was captured in Muye, with 300 warriors and 3,000 men." Fierce anger, like a tiger. "Tiger Ben" is used to describe Wu Zhou who is brave and good at fighting and is the king of tiger battlefield. Later, people once again linked the white tiger culture with the ancient geomantic omen in China, and it was necessary to choose a proper house. They chose Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger and landform.
With the development of society, people's understanding of tiger culture differences has deepened their different understanding of culture. White tigers also affect some people's tigers. For example, the tigers of Tujia ancestors were divided into two schools: White Tiger and White Tiger King. According to the school's thought, the white tiger is an evil god and harmful to people. We should resolutely put aside the fact that this school is mainly distributed in Xiangxi Tujia minority areas (including Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Zhangjiajie City, Changde City and Huaihua City), and another school, the White Tiger Temple, is the object of worship. This school is mainly located in Chongqing Tujia minority area in western and eastern Hubei (hereinafter referred to as Hubei-Chongqing Tujia). Grasping the academic field of "White Tiger" and "White Tiger King" has always been the focus of debate. According to folk data, ethnologists have made some explanations for these two completely different viewpoints, which are divided into "sitting on a white tiger" and "sitting on a white tiger". As for the "encyclopedia" of Tujia white tiger traditional culture in Xiangxi, "When the white tiger sits in court, there is no disaster, and it will be spread in Hubei and Chongqing". "Comment on the House of the White Tiger God" has worship.
Tujia people in Xiangxi "drive away the white tiger"
In ancient times, Tujia people's "driving white tigers" in Xiangxi, especially in the general sense, may have been influenced by the fact that the white tiger god is an evil god, which has brought about an expansion of this understanding from the perspective of the harmfulness of white tigers. To put it bluntly, tigers are everywhere, which will bring disaster. For example, in infancy, their parents should be called "horse body" (wizard) and "white tiger" (also called "nail white tiger") at home. The specific method is: "Horse body" white tiger is like paper-cut paper-cut white tiger. After the white tiger recited some spells, a pillar in the middle of the nail room was a child who grew to 12 years old. The doctor will nail the paper-cut white tiger to the pillar in the main room, take it down, burn it or throw it into the wild. It's just called "burning white tigers" (or "releasing white tigers"). Usually burn white tigers or go to the wild, and then don't interfere with children. Nailing white tigers, Tujia people in Xiangxi or burning white tigers are not once and for all, and children often encounter harassment from growing white tigers. In daily life, in this process, children have a high fever, playing tricks on the white tiger and asking the horse to drive it away. In addition to children, adults will also encounter white tiger aggression, such as heatstroke, foaming at the mouth and being expelled from the party.
The horse body method of Tujia nationality in Xiangxi is the most authoritative religious ceremony, and the horse body method made by others costs a lot of money. If you don't catch the white tiger, or if you don't leave the house, then teaching Tima means that no one has the heart to do anything to compensate the club for the economic losses caused by the teacher's horse body. The white tiger only thinks about making a huge successful rush-out ceremony.
They release white tigers and white tigers, because Tujia people in western Hunan hate white tigers, and they also extend an unlucky symbol. If China is celebrating the Lunar New Year, avoid wearing white handkerchiefs and white underwear. The Tujia loanwords and place names of Tujia people in western Hunan contain envy of tigers. The word "tiger" introduced by Li means "the place where tigers die", and the word "Lilja" means "mountain tiger" and "bitter", which means "killing tiger mountain".

"Wang Bai Tiger"
The ancestors of Tujia nationality in Chongqing worshipped the white tiger for a long time, which is the cultural consciousness of ancestors worshiping the white tiger. "The Biography of Southwest Hannan" contains: "Nelson of Berkshire Hathaway Company, with the middle five surnames: Pa, Fan, Shen and Zheng, opposite Lushan Mountain in Wuzhong. "Lin Jun, the ancestor of Tujia people in this area, died and became a white tiger in his soul. After that, in this respect? White tiger revered by Tujia ancestors.
The ancestors of Tujia people in Hubei and Chongqing used tigers as mascots. In archaeological excavations, many tigers, cows and spring rains at the junction of Hubei and Chongqing were unearthed. Therefore, beating tigers and cows is a military instrument to boost morale in ancient marching and fighting. Spring rain, the tiger button above, covered with the "tiger tiger" button, shows the military merit of the tiger general and cheers for the tiger general's spring jade and tiger spirit, so the army won the war. As usual, sitting on a white tiger is often painted in the middle of Tujia ancestral temple in this area, which is used to ward off evil spirits, but it also means good luck and makes people live and work in peace. In daily life, children wear tiger hats and shoes. The protection of tigers makes it easy for children to develop. Now, this area is also very common. Funeral dance is actually a kind of dance that performs white tiger worship. Undertaker was dressed in white and sang "Sayer-ho" to imitate the tiger dance. The dance moves are rough and powerful, showing the tiger's courage.
Therefore, Tujia is a society in the cultural history of the Chinese nation, and Tujia people's differences and understanding of white tigers are the most typical manifestations of this difference: a king white tiger and a white tiger. In Hubei, Chongqing Tujia and Xiangxi Tujia admit that Tujia has re-integrated once, and Tujia's ancestors are in academic circles, so the conclusion is the same origin and different branches. This is the road map of Tujia nationality.
