Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet
| ,4. The Song of the Dildima Bird
Texte intégral
1If asked to provide a translation for ‘dildima bird’ into Chinese, some Mongghuls will say yuanyang, the term for the mandarin duck, but others cannot give a Chinese name for it. Instead, they describe it as a small bird that has a cockscomb on its head and a body covered in red, white and black feathers that is seen in the Seven Valleys in summer.
2In the past, Mongghul women had a low position in their husband’s home. Once a woman married, she lived with his family, including his parents, brothers, sisters, and, if the brothers were married, their wives and children. Only if the family became too large, and the household split, did she finally live in her ‘own’ home. In such cases, the old household usually belonged to the husband’s youngest brother, who continued living with his parents. Only when the woman moved into her newly built house, and out of her husband’s parents’ house, was she free from her mother-in-law’s surveillance and control.
3While a woman still lived with her husband’s extended family, her daily schedule was regulated by her mother-in-law, who might ask her, for example, to go cut livestock fodder; to fetch water from a spring or river; to cook for the family, even stipulating what should be cooked, and how; to carry manure from the stable out of the household compound; to work in the fields; and to do all the chores around the house. If the mother-in-law was happy with her daughter-in-law’s performance, she would allow her to visit her parents often and to stay with them longer, but if not, such ‘privileges’ were withheld. The mother-in-law also decided to buy clothes for her yearly, and if the mother-in-law was unhappy or mistreated her, she would not be allowed to get new clothes, or would receive less than usual.
4The following folktale exemplifies the stereotypical relationship between a Monggghul woman and her mother-in-law (Limusishiden and Stuart 2011:174-76).
The Qeo Family Girl
Told by Changminjii (Mongghul)
5There was a mother whose daughter married and then went to live with her husband’s family in a distant village. The mother missed her daughter very much after she left, and finally asked her youngest son to bring her daughter back home as soon as possible for a visit.
6The youngest son went to the mother-in-law’s home with a white horse and a piece of white felt draped over the back of the horse. The youngest son said to his sister’s mother-in-law, ‘I’ve come to bring my sister to visit my mother. Please let my sister visit my home.’
7The mother-in-law replied, ‘She cannot go home to visit her mother because the piles of manure in our twelve mu of fields have not been leveled. Once they are leveled, she will have time to visit.’ The youngest son disappointedly returned home.
8Some days later, the youngest son visited the mother-in-law’s home again and said, ‘Today, I have come on a white horse with a piece of white felt across its back to take my sister home. My mother desperately wants to see her, and she promises to let her return to your home as soon as possible. Please let her come visit.’
9The mother-in-law said, ‘Yes, she has finished leveling manure on the twelve mu of fields, but we did not dig the lumps of earth from the twelve mu of fields. She can go visit when she finishes digging all of them.’
10In low spirits, the youngest son returned home.
11One month later, the youngest son came again and said to the mother-in-law, ‘Today I come again with a while horse and a piece of white felt draped over the horse’ s back to take my sister home. I beg you to please allow my sister to visit my home and see my mother. We will ensure she returns soon.’
12The mother-in-law said, ‘She cannot go today for she has not burned the lumps of soil on the twelve mu of land. We are going to use the burned lumps of dirt as fertilizer on our twelve mu of land. If we don’t burn them, we’ll have no food to eat next year. Once she finishes burning them, she can visit your home.’
13The youngest son returned home again.
14A month later, the youngest son came again, bringing the white horse with a piece of white felt draped over its back. He said to the mother-in-law, ‘I have come to take my sister.’
15The mother-in-law said, ‘She has not finished leveling the burned piles of dirt. She can go visit her mother once she finishes this work.’
16The youngest brother was filled with indignation but could only, again, return home without his sister.
17Another month passed, and the youngest brother came again, leading the white horse with a piece of white felt draped over its back. He said again that he had come to take his sister home.
18The mother-in-law said, ‘She has not finished spreading the crushed earth over the twelve mu of land. Once she finishes this, I will let her visit your home.’
19Without any success, the youngest brother returned home again.
20Some days later, the youngest brother came again and said, ‘She has spread the burned earth on the fields, so may she come visit her mother now?’
21The mother-in-law said, ‘We did not finish planting rapeseed on the twelve mu of land. Once that is done, I will let her visit her parents’ home.’
22The youngest brother sorrowfully returned home once again.
23The daughter-in-law went to the fields, and in a short time she easily scattered rapeseed on the twelve mu of fields. The sown seed then sprouted.
24Later the youngest brother came to take his sister, leading his white horse.
25The mother-in-law said, ‘She cannot visit her parents’ home now, for she has not harvested the rapeseed from the twelve mu of fields. Once she does that, I will allow her to visit.’
26The youngest brother despairingly returned home as before. The Qeo family girl went to the fields to harvest the rapeseed, crying sadly. Magpies and pigeons noticed this, flew close to her, and said, ‘You need not cry, we have come to help you now.’ They very soon helped her collect all the seed, and then they flew away.
27Then the youngest brother came to take his sister to see her mother, again bringing the white horse with a piece of white felt draped over its back. This time, the mother-in-law agreed that she could visit but stipulated, ‘It’s all right, you can go home, but you have to return tomorrow. And you have to come back with three pairs of shoes sewn for each member of our family during the time you are at your parents’ home.’ The Qeo family girl had to promise that she would do this.
28When she reached her parents’ home, she immediately started sewing shoes. The time flew by so fast that she wished she could tie the sun with a thread to hold it in the sky. After a day and a night, she finally finished making three pairs of shoes for each of the members of her mother-in-law’s home. The next day, she delayed a little before she reached her mother-in-law’s home.
29This angered the mother-in-law, who ferociously scolded her, and the father-in-law and her husband’s younger brother beat her. Finally, her husband’s younger brother’s wife beat her to death with a broom.
30Later, the Qeo family girl’s husband returned home accompanied by a large mounted retinue, for he was returning home in triumph after passing the examination to become a Number One Scholar. When he rode near the rear of his parents’ home, a bird flew very near him. He then wondered if disaster had befallen his wife.
31The retinue reached the front gate, but no one dismounted. The young man’s father came to receive him, but he did not dismount. Instead, he said, ‘Please ask the Qeo family girl to come receive me. Only she can make me dismount at once.’
32Then his mother came to receive him. Her son said, ‘I do not want to dismount unless the Qeo family girl receives me.’
33His younger brother came to receive him, and he told him the same thing.
34Then his younger brother’s wife came to receive him, and he told her the same thing.
35Finally, his younger sister came to receive him and said, ‘Old brother, Old brother, now your younger sister has come to receive you, so please dismount.’
36The Qeo family girl’s husband said, ‘Ah, I won’t dismount if you come to receive me. I want only the Qeo family girl to receive me. Once she receives me, I will dismount immediately.’
37His younger sister said, ‘Old Brother, Old Brother, how can we let the Qeo family girl come here? Mother scolded her, father and elder brother beat her, and finally sister-in-law beat her to death soon after she returned from her parents’ home. Then she was buried in the plow furrows in the field behind the house over there. Please go see.’
38The young man then pulled his wife’s corpse out from the plow furrows in the piles of earth in the field behind his home. He sorrowfully cremated the corpse and collected her ashes and bones in a small wooden box. He then turned his horse and slowly rode away.
39In the twenty-first century the position of Mongghul women has improved, following social development, modernization, and globalization. After finishing nine years of compulsory education, some girls go on further studies and finally get official jobs. Others do not continue schooling, but go to Xining or other cities to find employment and start an urban life. Such socially and physically mobile young women typically prefer to find their own husbands, and so arranged marriage has mostly disappeared. Furthermore, it is increasingly common for young couples to set up their own home rather than living with their extended family. And, even in the rare cases where such residency patterns continue, the greater opportunities for mobility open to women today mean that the power of mothers-in-law to control their daughters-in-law has greatly decreased.
40Before this change of women’s fortunes, if a Mongghul woman was mistreated by her mother-in-law she would most likely think of the The Song of the Dildima Bird. This song was mostly sung by women whenever they felt sad in their husband’s home. However, men also sang it when they were drinking together, an occasion when men displayed the breadth and flexibility of their musical repertoire. In this song, a daughter-in-law relates her woes to a dildima bird, and asks the bird to relate her story to her parents. She describes the difficult work she must do, complains of mistreatment by her mother-in-law, and describes how degraded her once beautiful wedding clothes have become since arriving in her parents-in-laws’ home. In keeping with the melancholycontent of the song, the melody is slow and sad.

42从前,有对夫妻,他俩偀无儿无女。后来他们拜天求地才得了一个女儿。女儿长大后,父母把她嫁到了很远很远的地方。她的婆婆非常恶毒,使侘她受尽了苦难,委屈的泪水只能往肚子里咽。有一天,他到林子里打柴,看到了从娘家那里飞来的登登玛鸟,顿时,思亲之情更加迫切,禁不住失声大哭。她给登登玛鸟唱诉在婆家受尽的苦难和心中无处诉说的委屈,让登登玛鸟给她的父母捎个口信倵,盼望父母能来看望她一下。她唱到:
43In the past there was a childless couple. They prayed to Buddha to have a child, and finally they had a girl. When the girl had grown up, her parents married her into a family that lived far away. Her mother-in-law was a vicious woman who treated her badly, so the girl suffered greatly and cried every day. One day, she went to collect firewood in a forest where she saw a bird that had flown from her parents’ hometown. Seeing the bird, she missed her parents and her home deeply. She cried sadly and asked the bird to take a message to her parents. Then, she sang this song:
44Dildima xau,
