Abstract

This collection contains audio of interviews from the Sanchuan region, in the south of Minhe Hui and Tu Autonomous County, Haidong Region, Qinghai Province China. All interviews are with huala, male villagers who regularly incarnate local tutelary deities, on such occasions as healing rituals, and the annual harvest festival. The huala interviewed here are mostly Mangghuer; the collection contains one interview with a Tibetan huala, called lha pa in the local Tibetan dialect.

Description

In this interview the huala explained how he became a huala and how he treated illnesses. He also suggested that though his ancestors were not real huala, they used to treat sicknesses with yinyang (Daoist practitioners). 在这段采访中法拉提到了他是怎样成为法拉和他如何用自己的能力帮助人们。法拉指出他的祖先不是真正的法拉,但是曾经跟阴阳一起治疗过疾病,他还讲述了他的法拉经历。
