Their creation epic plots the origins of the cosmos, the sky and earth, and the living beings of land and water. This translation is a rare example in English of indigenous ethnic literature from China. Transmitted in oral and written forms for centuries among the Nuosu, The Book of Origins is performed by bimo priests and other tradition-bearers. Poetic in form, the narrative provides insights into how a clan- and caste-based society organizes itself, dictates ethics, relates to other ethnic groups, and adapts to a harsh environment. A comprehensive introduction to the translation describes the land and people, summarizes the work's themes, and discusses the significance of The Book of Origins for the understanding of folk epics, ethnoecology, and ethnic relations"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aYi (Chinese people)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01182768 606 $aMythology, Chinese$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01031754 606 $aFolk poetry, Yi$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00929700 606 $aCreation$xMythology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00882388 606 $aRELIGION / Comparative Religion$2bisacsh 606 $aBODY, MIND & SPIRIT / Spirituality / Paganism & Neo-Paganism$2bisacsh 606 $aCreation$xMythology$zChina, Southwest 606 $aMythology, Chinese 606 $aYi (Chinese people)$vFolklore 606 $aFolk poetry, Yi$zChina, Southwest$vTranslations into English 607 $aSouthwest China$2fast 608 $aTranslations. 608 $aFolklore. 610 $aAnthologies: general 615 0$aYi (Chinese people) 615 0$aMythology, Chinese. 615 0$aFolk poetry, Yi. 615 0$aCreation$xMythology. 615 0$aRELIGION / Comparative Religion 615 0$aBODY, MIND & SPIRIT / Spirituality / Paganism & Neo-Paganism 615 0$aCreation$xMythology 615 0$aMythology, Chinese. 615 0$aYi (Chinese people) 615 0$aFolk poetry, Yi 676 $a299.5/1113 702 $aZopqu$b Jjivot 702 $aAku$b Wuwu$f1964- 702 $aBender$b Mark 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910504310403321 996 $aThe Nuosu Book of Origins$91905418 997 $aUNINA
