On The Life Worship And The Images Of MuLao Folk Songs

Life worship is the most important theme in the spiritual life of the Mulao.They worship life and fear death,and worry about life when they are injured.They believe that life should be enjoyed in time,and they worship vitality and emphasize reproduction and reproduction,so folk songs embody a noble style.These are deeply reflected in the astronomical image,geographical image and humanistic image of Mulao folk songs.It is of great practical significance to dig into the rich cultural traditions contained in these images and to summarize and sort out the cultural psychology and ethnic character of the Mulao.Based on the theories of mythology anthropology,literary geography,folklore,archetypal criticism,aesthetic anthropology and narratology,and combining with my field investigation,this paper comprehensively and systematically interprets the image of Mulao folk songs from the angle of life worship.Mulao people still retains the traditional "wander" way of life,and they like to wander from one village to another,climbing,which makes them hold the original concept of mixture of space-time in a large extent and chaos thinking.In their eyes,heaven and earth are confused together,without the comparison of superiority andinferiority,square and round,dynamic –static.Heaven and man are in one,man can connect with heaven,and singing folk songs are greater than heaven.Mulao people worship life while fear death.Because of long-term living in the darkness of the natural environment and living environment,they are afraid of the sunset,and hope that the bright color and the warmth of hope can dispel the darkness of the haze,.The image of sun and the dark consciousness embodies the original desire of extending the life.According to the principle of voice to worship,the thunder is equal to the ray,ray is equal to the life,the thunder is life,and then the thunder is the cry of life of image communication.Thor contains the life and the death,which is the god of death and resurrection.In their opinion,there is no complete opposition between the death and the life,which reflects their simple dialectical thought and also reflects chaos thingking.People always find themselves from others and from the natural feelings of their own.mulao for own life feeling is often embodied by flowers and plants,such as "No flower can bloom for a hundred days” symbolling life is short,with "the wind blows out the grass" symbolling more difficult.The feeling of the sorrow of life reflects the characteristic of the local climate phenology,and also expresses truly difficult living and conditions of the mulao people and the heavy history.Even so,they also have their liberation which is carpe diem,moved by affection day that is powerful weapon against the harsh natural.Water for mulao is the source of life and death threats,their lives lip up and down between water and flood for a long time,which formed the setback experience for water,and these experiences not only let them keeps awareness of frugality,also make them form the lofty aesthetic orientation of the water.the water image in the folk,both the original image and the secondary image,are so rich,full and dynamic,which embodies a kind of beauty of life;Mulao people's sense of life is reflected in a specific humanistic space,which is not only a simple container,but also a place for a variety of social relations and power balance.Door is space interval,it separates the power space and life space,secular and sacred space.going out of the door,entering the door and get married reflect mulao point of view of transferng in different space.Going out means transform from the patriarchal space to freedom life space,and so it was repeatedly in the folk songs,as the appearance love began to sing;The life space-"door" is the temporary transfer of hall,and get married is a new journey of life.the life education before the door,life Shouting and crying marriage and the happy life wish reveal that mulao people worship and craving for life;Soul concept which is immortality and able to transfer between several space is the foundation of mulam people of faith.Soul is light,so you need to use a bridge to focus,extradition.whether guiding soul with bridge and release reinforce the soul by walking bridge is nothing but let soul back into the home.it reflects that as Yue's descendants mulam people has discrete sense of life.in the history of the more "loose and not die",Yue is expelled by chu,so they urgently need to be safe home and race.Bridge can realize their dreams of fertility,extradite their souls,so life is a bridge.Bridges in everywhere to sing folk songs.Different from traditional literature "the road" in the image of the deep and remote,confused,and obstacles mulam folk songs of the understanding to the simple,smooth.The road is a place of communion with the duality of temporarily and eternal.Road reflects the process of love,also is the rhythm of life.Mu Lao people walk with slow pace and a simple and easy life displaying their unfettered attitude towards life and slow way of life.
