The Jinuo village in Xishuangbanna is on the mountainside of the deep forest , where the Jinuo people live . There is no flat land around the village and it is surrounded by dense forest . There is plenty of rain here , and dense virgin forests are everywhere . Due to the climate and rain , tea is produced here . ” Kino ” was called ” Yule ” in the historical documents in the past , which means leisure and happiness . Therefore , Mount Jino is famous as ” Yule Tea Mountain ” .
In history , the tea rich in Jinuo Shanzhai was called ” Youle Tea ” . In ancient times , this tea was called Gongcha , and Jinuo Mountain was also listed as one of the ” six tea mountains .” . Therefore , Jinuo cottage is also one of the birthplaces of the Ancient Tea Horse Road . Here , there are often various animals coming out of the forest to look for food , and from time to time you can hear the calls of various birds . In winter , there is often heavy fog of the forest , covering the entire cottage in the sea of fog . When the sun came out , the cottage seemed to hang in the air , and the scene at this time was very strange .
The Jinuo people believe in primitive religions , worship nature , worship ancestors , and believe that everything has animas . The Jinuo people have their own language , but no written words . In order to record their history , they all rely on carved wood to remember things . In the Jino people , the influence of the uncle is very large , and the uncle occupies a very important position in the family . Including naming the nephew , guarding the growth of the nephew , including the nephew’s marriage and other important matters , the uncle will participate in decision-making , and the uncle has the same rights as the nephew’s father .
There is also an important festival among the Jinuo people, called the “Temok” festival, which is held on February 6th and 8th every year. During festivals, locals will hold a drumming ceremony. At this time, the elders of the cottage beat the drum, and many villagers began to happily dance the local folk dance. This festival mainly celebrates the good harvest of the dealer in the coming year and the healthy reproduction of domestic animals.
