Gods and Poetry: Imagination and Reconstruction of Exchanges between the Butai Ethnic Groups
by He Qingqing
About This Novel
Through an in-depth description of the phenomenon of the Butai ethnic group rebuilding their traditional way of ethnic communication, this book focuses on exploring the poetic wisdom of ethnic communication demonstrated by this ethnic group in rituals and daily life, aiming to find the possibility of ethnic communication in the context of modernity. The focus of the case observation is to explain the ethnic communication behaviors of three rituals: the bridge ceremony, the Nong'a ceremony and the Gepo activity. In the author's opinion, the extent to which the Butai people can reconstruct the form and content of ethnic communication depends on how they seek their own poetic wisdom in the face of modernity. When divinity and poetry converge to become a driving force for awe-inspiring communication and desire for communication, awe-filled divine blessings and poetic expressions of deep comfort form the basis for the imagination and reconstruction of ethnic communication.
