欢乐的彝族火把节
Joyous Torch Festival of the Yi Nationality
在中国，如果说起火与一个民族的历史、文化和生存之间不可分割、不可或缺的联系，人们首先想到的，一定会是生活在西南高原山川大地上的彝族。
In China if we are talking about the inseparable and indispensable relationship among fires and the history culture and survival of a nationality the first one we can think of must be the Yi nationality living in the southwest plateau.
展开在我们眼前的，就是一本关于彝人与火的故事。或者说，这是关于火与彝人之间某种契约关系和表现形态的影像记录。
Opened out before us is a story about the Yi nationality and fire. Or rather it is an image record about a kind of contractual relationship and expressive form between fire and the Yi nationality.
流传世界的古希腊神话中，讲述了普罗米修斯从奥林匹斯山为人类盗取火种的非凡壮举，以及他为此所经受的惊天磨难。也就是说，对于火的迷恋与崇拜，并非彝族或者远方另一个民族所独有。这是一种人类共同拥有的生存记忆和文明传承。这个星球上，火与水、气、土等物质一起，构成了人与万物赖以生息繁衍的基本元素。可以说，在远古的丛林和荒野，火照亮并且温暖了人类的生存空间，引导人类脱离蒙昧，踏上通往文明的道路。
In the ancient Greece mythology widespread throughout the world the remarkable feat about Prometheus stealing fire from Olympus for humanity and the tribulations he endured are narrated. In other words the fascination and adoration for fire is not unique to the Yi nationality or another nationality in a distant place. It is the heritage of survival memories and civilization shared by human beings. On this planet fire constitutes the basic elements for all living things to live and reproduce together with water air earth and etc. It can be said that in the ancient jungles and wilderness its is fire that illuminates and warms the human’s living space guides the mankind to break away from the darkness and step on the road to civilization.
然而正是彝族，把熊熊燃烧的火炬高高举起，一直走到今天。犹如怀抱不熄的太阳。
However it is just the Yi nationality that lifts up the burning torch and walks to the present day as if embracing the sun aflame.
我曾经写下这样的诗句：“给我们血液，给我们田地｜你比人类古老的历史还要漫长｜给我们启示，给我们慰藉｜让子孙在冥冥中，看见祖先的模样”。“当我们离开这个人世｜……你都会为我们的灵魂｜穿上永恒的衣裳”。这是来自天上的火，燃烧在历史和记忆中的火。对彝族人来说，火源自亘古，是自然之灵，带着造化的奥秘；火也传承于祖先的灵魂，是世代血脉中传递的精神符号，蕴藏着未曾破解的预言。在彝族的史诗、神话和民间传说中，处处都体现着对火的景仰与崇拜。或许我们能够这样说：火凝成了彝族文化中的一颗闪光发热的恒星，许多事物和现象都围绕这个中心运转。彝族火崇拜，为人类学、宗教学、民俗学等多种人文学科提供了源源不断的光和热。
I once wrote such verse: “Give us the blood give us the land/ you live long than the ancient history of mankind/ give us enlightenment give us solace/ let the children somewhere see the appearance of ancestor”. “When we leave this world/ ...... You will wear eternal clothing for our souls”. This is the fire from heaven burning in history and memory. For the Yi nationality fire originates from time immemorial which is the spirit of nature carrying with nature's mysteries; fire also inherits from the souls of ancestors and it is the spiritual symbol passing in the blood from generation to generation containing the prophecies never cracked. In the epic poetry mythology and folklore of the Yi nationality we can see the admiration and worship for fire everything. Maybe we could put it this way: fire has condensed into a flashing and exothermic fixed star in the culture of the Yi nationality and a lot of things and phenomena are turning around this center. The fire worship of the Yi nationality has provided continuous light and heat for anthropology science of religion folklore and other humanities.
在火文化的基础上，彝族创造了一个以火为表演主角和叙事内容的节日——火把节。这是走出火塘的火，在生命中从内向外燃烧的火。
On the basis of fire culture the Yi nationality created a festival with fire as the leading actor and narrative content-- Torch Festival. This is the fire not in fireplace and the fire burning from the inside out in the life.
“你是禁忌，你是召唤，你是梦想｜给我们无限的欢乐｜让我们尽情地歌唱”。关于火把节的来历，在彝族地区有各种版本，但它们无一例外地表达了追求光明、善良、自由和幸福的主题。火把照亮夜空、山峦和深厚的土地。彝族年和火把节，是彝族文化的重要载体，也是民间最为重视的两个传统节日。作为呵护生命、充满力量的元素，火是一种张扬着热情、自信、想象力和创造力的民族象征。火把节不仅仅与生存和生活息息相关，同时也构成了一种生存与生活的方式。这是少女般羞涩内敛的火，雄鹰般御风翱翔的火。在火光照耀下，所有欢乐和痛苦都得到释放，所有尊严、梦想和爱的追求，都获得充分的理由。
“You are the taboo the summoning and the dream/you bring us with unbounded joy/ you let us sing with abandon.” About the origin of the Torch Festival there are various kinds of versions in the Yi nationality but they are without exception but all of them expressed the theme of pursuit of light kindness freedom and happiness. The torches light up the night sky mountains and rich land. The New Year and Torch Festival of the Yi nationality are the important carriers of the culture of the Yi nationality and two most important traditional festivals in civil. As an element about care for life and power fire is a national symbol displaying passion confidence imagination and creativity. Torch Festival is not only closely related to survival and life but also constitutes a survival and living way. It is the fire like a shy and introverted girl; it is the fire like an eagle flying in the wind. Enlightened by the fire all joys and sorrows can be relieved and all dignity dream and the pursuit of love can obtain sufficient reasons.
火把在古风吹动中传承燃烧，又因为从现代风潮中汲取充沛的氧气而热烈旺盛。除了庄严和神秘，除了追忆和遐想，今天的彝族火把节，在洋溢的生活气息中，让人更加体会到身临其境的现场感和时代感。这是古老火把节，也是崭新的火把节。除了以火的名义祈求五谷丰登、亲友平安、六畜兴旺的老者，以火的名义呼唤祖先的毕摩、占卜吉凶的苏尼，以火的名义展示美丽与高贵的少女，追求荣誉和爱情的摔跤手，以及在战斗中彰显生命力的斗牛，在熊熊火光中，我们还听到传统与现代之间的对话，看到城市乡村以及多民族的交流沟通，我们已经成为这个光荣节日的参与者和不可缺少的组成部分。
The torches inherit and burn in the ancient customs and become exuberant for absorbing plenty of oxygen from modern fashion. In addition to solemn and mysterious in addition to recalling and daydream in the overflowing vitality the torch festival of the Yi nationality today can make us experience more immersive scene feeling as well as the sense of the times. This is not only an ancient festival but also a brand new festival. Except for the old men praying for good harvests relatives and friends safety and thriving domestic animals in the name of fire Bimo summoning ancestors in the name of fire Solnit divining good or ill luck the girls displaying beauty and nobility in the name of fire the wrestlers in pursuit of honors and love and the bullfight showing vitality in fighting in the flaming fire we can also hear the conversation between traditional and modern culture and see the communication between city and village. We have become the participants and indispensable parts in this glory festival.
火把节的内容和形式都堪称丰富多彩。这本关于火把节的影像记录，为我们展开了一个古老、神奇的民族节日，在火热的土地上依次演绎的生动全景。
Both the content and form of the Torch Festival can be said to be colorful. This video record about torch festival shows us an ancient and magical national festival as well as a vivid panorama performing on this fiery land successively.
我相信，这个主题鲜明影像志，这个全面的、真实的、艺术的记录，对众多不能亲临火把节的人是一种飨宴，对将要经历火把节的人是一种准备和积累，而对于彝族火文化特别是火把节的研究者，也提供了充实的信息和难得的资料。

XX是我的彝族同胞，更是我四年大学生活的同窗同舍好友。我敬重他为人正直、忠厚质朴品质，我喜欢他少言寡语却内心充满火一样热情的性格。多年来，XX经历了多种工作和生活环境，却从未离开故乡火热的土地和多民族相濡以沫的生命群体。也许正是这样的环境，培育了他的执着、达观和敏锐。正是因为火的灵性和火的精神已经成为他生命的内涵，才让他以广阔的观察力、深邃的思想性和高远的审美志趣，在繁忙的公务之余，完成了这部具有专业水平的主题摄影集，把一个火光中的奇异世界呈现给我们。
XX is my fellow of the Yi nationality and he was also my classmate in my four years of college life. I respect for his integrity honesty and simplicity I like his character-a little bit quiet but warm like fire in his heart. For years XX has gone through a variety of working and living environment but he never left the fiery land in his hometown and the united multi-ethnic life group. Perhaps it is just this environment that develops his dedication optimism and acumen. Just because the spirituality and spirit of fire has become the connotation in his life so he can complete this professional theme photography in his spare time with broad outsight profound ideological level and lofty aesthetic interests thus presenting us a bizarre world in the flame.
