The Mongolian tour guide's name is Buhe, which is said to mean strong.
Jiang Cha told Bu He the purpose of his trip and wanted to ask him to help organize a worship ceremony.
Since it was not easy to find Alacha's family, she would first worship her brother's ancestors according to local traditions.
Please ask his ancestors to bless you from below, and hope that a miracle will happen and that you can find your brother’s family.
Buhe is a very enthusiastic young man. He was deeply moved after hearing the story of Brother Alacha.
He specially went home to ask his elderly grandmother to come and give him guidance on the offerings and etiquette required for the worship ceremony.
The old lady Han doesn't speak Mandarin, so Jiang Cha relies on Bu He to translate when communicating with her.
After the old lady heard Alacha's story, she was so moved that she burst into tears.
Holding her hand, he repeatedly told her that after the ceremony, she would go back to help inquire about it.
"My grandmother has a wide network of contacts. She knows everyone in the Mongolian community here. I'll go back with you after the ceremony and try to find more people to ask."
The Alacha family was a nomadic family on the grassland. They had no fixed place to live and had to move with the grassland every year.
Besides, it was the Republic of China period, the most chaotic time, and it would be difficult to find the neighbors or clansmen who were with them at the time.
Then the chance of finding it is very small, so Jiang Cha plans to hold a worship ceremony first.
Help my brother tell his ancestors that he, Alacha, is a real man and a Baturu!
He stayed in the Dianyan Forest to fight the Japanese, and he is not a coward who forgets his roots!
According to the normal customs of the Mongolian people, ancestor worship ceremonies are usually only held during major festivals such as Qingming Festival and Spring Festival.
But she doesn't have that much time, so she plans to spend more than half a year visiting all the places on the notebook.
Regardless of whether their family members and descendants are still alive or not, they must go there and fill a small bag of soil to place in their graves.
Just treat it as their native land and hometown.
Although she has only visited a few households so far, the situation does not seem very optimistic.
A lot of things have happened between the fight against the Japanese and now, and many people have moved away from their hometowns for various reasons.
Some of them even failed to escape the Japanese raids back then, so it is estimated that not many can be found.
Originally, she planned to discuss with the younger generations and families of her brothers to bury their bones in their hometown when they returned in the future, or to gather with the old friends.
Jiang Cha will then arrange for someone to help clean regularly, and will also make proper arrangements after she passes away in the future.
It won’t be so cold and lonely that no one will worship our brothers!
Now it seems that we have to find a suitable piece of land to buy for the cemetery so that when she brings everyone back, they will have a comfortable and peaceful place.
They were alone there for decades, with no one offering incense or worshipping them, or burning paper money or gold ingots for them.
The things she burned at the time would have been spent long ago even if she had saved money.
This time when I come back, I have to burn more so that everyone can live more comfortably down there.
Jiang Cha didn’t believe these things before, but who can blame her for so many miraculous things happening to her?
There were many things she couldn't help but believe, after all, she had piles of antique jewellery in her space!
Jiang Cha and Bu He prepared the offerings for worship according to the old man's instructions.
After choosing a day suitable for the ceremony, Jiang Cha got up early, washed, and changed into traditional costumes.
Then we arrived at the place chosen by the old man to worship his ancestors, a grassland near a water source (fictional plot, please do not imitate)
Because they didn't know where Alachai's ancestors were buried, they held the ceremony on the grassland according to the old man's instructions.
The old man said that as long as you worship sincerely on the grassland, your ancestors, no matter how far away they are, will be remembered in the underworld.
The ceremony was presided over by an elderly man invited by Bu and his family. It was said that he had come from far away after hearing about Alacha's story.
Fresh milk, dairy products, incense, fried rice, brick tea, fried fruits, wine, sugar and other vegetarian foods are placed on the table.
After the offerings were prepared, a huge fire was lit.
Everyone who comes to participate will circle the bonfire three times clockwise with offerings in hand.
The sacrifice is then offered, which means throwing the offering into the fire.
Then the old man read the eulogy in Mongolian, and she didn't understand a word.
Finally, the ceremony ends with the setting off of firecrackers.
If we follow the normal family ancestor worship process, the next step is for the whole family to get together for a lively dinner.
Whether it is offering Hada to the elders or the elderly distributing food during the meal, these are all very important parts of the worship ceremony.
Yesterday, Jiang Cha specifically asked Bu He to help book a hotel and a round-trip bus for the guests attending the ceremony.
The whole ceremony was not easy for the elderly.
Because ginger tea is not Mongolian, there are many things we don’t know.
The smooth progress of this ceremony depended entirely on the help of the elders.
Many elderly people who came here were deeply moved by this unique worship, and they all hoped that Alacha would be happy and healthy in his next life.
After the lively meal, I asked the bus driver several times to take the elderly people home safely.
Then Jiang Cha staggered back to the hotel, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down without even changing his clothes.
Even though they have been busy all morning, she is still worried that the elderly people may not be able to bear it!
result?
An older man who was more than 20 years older than her raised his glass and sang a toast to her. She didn't understand what he meant, but it sounded pretty good.
From the moment she took the wine glass from the big brother, she sang the toast song in different styles and drank one glass of wine after another.
