| 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: | The huala explained that he got a terrible sickness before he became a huala. He treated that sickness by himself while possessed by the deity. In the past he went to treat different sicknesses but he has now stopped because he is too old and the process of healing is too tiring. There is currently no huala to replace him, because young people are unwilling to become huala. 法拉告诉采访者在他成为法拉以前他得了一个很严重的疾病，并且神上了身以后由他自己治疗了那个疾病。他治疗过各种各样的疾病，而现在由卦代替停止了去治疗疾病，他就告诉人们所在的问题是什么。目前因为年轻的一代不愿当法拉，所以也没有新的法拉。 |
