Chapter Takeaways
簡介 鄒族小米祭屬於家族性祭儀。在鄒族傳統生活中,小米是主要的糧食作物,因此鄒族的一年開始於小米的播種,結束於小米的收成,其中小米收穫祭最為重要。在每年小米成熟的七、八月由祭團帶領舉行,家族裡的每個成員均要回來參加祭儀,儀式包括潔淨、團圓、慶豐收、感恩祈福、家族共食、家族互訪、飲新栗酒、長老會議、祭祀山神,也是鄒族人的過年,而其中長老會議要決定明年戰祭(Mayasvi)是否舉行。主要祭祀掌管小米生長的小米女神,並藉著祭典儀式來強化家族的凝聚力…
時間 小米收穫祭在七、八月舉行;而確切日期則由各氏族長老和頭目視當年小米生長的狀況決定。
地點 祭儀在特別保留的聖粟田和各氏族的禁忌之屋舉行,其中聖粟田的面積只有三到五平方公尺,小米量絕對無法提供一個家族一年的糧食,因此是被象徵性地保留下來的,目的是為了舉行小米祭。而小社的族人在參加完各自的Homeyaya後要再回到大社參加本社的Homeyaya。
目前保留的程序 釀酒 潔淨儀式 初收小米 迎小米女神 共食共飲 收割最後小米 送走小米女神 做祝神儀式
