Beliefs, Ethnic Character and Daily Life

As a culture created by the Yi people in their specific historical living environment, the Yi people’s wine culture is an important part of the Yi people’s overall culture. It arouses the immortal national soul of the Yi people, and cultivates and highlights the Yi people’s rich history of civilization. With the accumulation of history, wine and its precipitated cultural content has become a collective unconscious act of worshipping and admiring wine in the hearts of the Yi people. Wine culture plays a specific role in various areas of Yi people’s social life, extending a series of social functions, including: (1) Carrying and reflecting the traditional beliefs of the Yi people; (2) Creating Yi people’s personality as enthusiastic, cheerful, straightforward, and optimistic; (3) Reflecting the daily life of the Yi people, and becoming participants and witnesses of various rituals in Yi people’s lives; (4) Containing and reflecting rich Yi social etiquette; and (5) Promoting the construction of harmonious interpersonal relationships in Yi society
