Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Early spring is the time when the E De ethnicminority group in the Central Highlands region enjoy the festive time with thecau mua (Praying for fertile crops) ritual.

This is one of the important rituals of the EDe people, which takes place when a new crop planting season begins. Theybelieve that the ritual will bring them good weather and a bumper crop.

During the days of the ritual, people in thevillage do not work in the fields or travel far. They only stay in the villageto focus on this activity.

They also prepare models, often made from wood,to perform the ritual, such as the rice warehouse, which symbolises the wish tobe full; and the shield and sword, to ward off evil spirits.

In addition, they also bring production toolssuch as grass rakes, hole punching sticks, rice seed canisters and someofferings to the gods like roosters and ruou can (wine stored in a big jar anddrunk with long bamboo straws).

The host of the ceremony will pray to heavenand earth for good weather and grain. After that, the village sends people toperform the tria lua ritual (put the seeds in the hole and fill it with soil)around the ceremonial pillar.


The host then splashes water to bless and pray for rain against drought.At the end of the worshiping ceremony, the E De people go home and drink ruoucan to celebrate a new farming season./.
