Oroqen Costumes In Search Of The Fashion Elements In Ancient Costumes

Oroqen worship Shamanism

The religious view of all things makes the Oroqen worship the polytheism. They believe that the mountains, trees, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and sun, moon and stars in nature are guarded by gods.

When hunting, when they encounter unusual places like growing old trees and high cliffs, they think it is the habitat of God, and they must put tribute and pray for peace and auspiciousness.

Listening to the local Oroqen people, if they lost their way in the mountains when hunting, they would look for a tree with the strongest sight and the most sturdy tree, respectfully request the tree god to guide the way, and soon find the way home.

Every member of the Oroqen nationality has a shaman, commonly known as "shamans", who help people to sacrifice, pray and drive away illness through "diving".

I saw the only old shaman in the township of Baiyin Township in Huma, Heilongjiang. At the first meeting, the more than 70 year old skinny old man had nothing like two people.

When she put on dozens of pounds of shaman.

Suddenly, it added a kind of dignity.

It is said that when she "jumps", she can jump up and down in such heavy clothes and tirelessly.

The characteristics of Shaman sacrificial clothing

Shaman sacrificial clothing is also made of roe skin. There are many totem and various patterns before and after the flap. There are bird patterns, moire patterns, flowers and grass patterns, etc.

There are bronze mirrors on both sides of the chest, representing days, months and stars, and are also used for exorcism.

On the top of the roe skin hat, it also adornment with various colors, basically covering the face.

The drums and drumsticks in the shaman were made of the roe skin and the legs of the roe deer.

It can be imagined that when Shaman's "diving" sacrifices, in the drumbeat of the drum, the colored strips are flying, and the metal copper mirrors collide. The primitive and mysterious atmosphere will surely cause us to immerse ourselves in it.
