| Description: |
This ritual is held annually to renew a wobo (sacred mountain-top cairn). The wobo is referred to as Shuguo Wobo 'Big Wobo', and the deity thought to inhabit the cairn is called Wobo Laoye 'Wobo Grandfather'. Wobo Laoye is considered the protector deity for the entire Sanchuan Mangghuer region. Participants in the ritual come from Wangjia, Yangjia, and Qijia, three large Mangghuer villages. This video shows the departure of participants, including monks, and images of the surrounding valleys and mountains.
每年都举行这个仪式更新沃博（神圣的山顶上的石冢）。 把沃博称为殊果沃博 “大沃博”，并且认为神，沃博老爷居住在石冢。沃博老爷被认作是土族三川地区的守护神。参与这个仪式的来自于三大土族村的王家和杨家、祈家等。这个影片展示了参与者们的离别，包括僧侣，还有周围山沟和山的景象。 |
