He occupies a genuine position,And was renowned in the empirical court,He had a kang edge of jade and gems,And a pearl seat.He began to gain fame and fortune there,And traveled through every province,While passing by Suolun <strong>Dagur</strong>,He was enshrined by every household,His image occupied two walls of both sides of every home.He was a god with three seats,One seat was for the plow,Hiding in the mokiboard,DairalZ2 sitting on the original seat,Has sacrifices of double dragons,A double dragon throne,A variety of satins and silks,And variegated WzadaWz;He wore a serpent robe,Wrapped in satin,Standing on pure satin,Surrounded by painted decorations,Sculptures,Carving on pine trunks,Paintings on poplars:Bukuig er-Takiigar ,Koltogdii-Kaltagdii,Karaan ii- Kaqoon iiSernerken Kentel,Babkai Bate1Balodi Buke. 23At the river juncture,A boat sails down,Oroqen in the forest,Mergen, a capable hunter,Leaves no trace,Unseen footprints,Golden tortoises,Silver frogs,Humming wasps,Squirming lizards,Jingling bells,Cuckooing cuckoos,Howling leopardr,Strong and mighty hogs.The Hailar area chant differed from the Buteha area.

chanted the locations and adornments of the gods. As to sacrifices, there were majorand minor rituals. Major ones required a white-headed datecolored bull for HolierBarken, a maroon cow for Holier Barken's urokxi,% and a yellow stallion for HolierBarken's rnal~o.~ At the sacrificial rite, nine men served liquor and tobacco, andthen nine men and nine women danced. Major sacrificial rites were led by yadganswith the help of bagaqs. Minor rites could be led by bagaqs without yadgans. Atminor sacrificial rites, a sheep was sacrificed for Holier Barken and a male sheep forMaluo.7.2~ Hojoor Barken (Ancestral Gods)Every <strong>Dagur</strong> mkon had its own hojoor, and mokons of the same ha1 shared onehojoor. Some mobns had two hojoors. It was rare for two hals to share one hojoor.Certain hojoors were worshipped by two nwkons at the same time. Other mokons hadtwo hojoors. For example, the hojoor barken of Duertala Mokon of Esier Hal wasalso worshipped by Aola Mokon of Aola Hal. According to one tale, long ago aperson of Aola Mokon had a daughter who was betrothed to a boy of DuertalaMokon. The girl was often ill and, when she was 16-years-old, a yadgan was invitedto see her. He reported that she was on the verge of becoming a yadgan. Afterprayer, she was cured. The father, however, disapproved of her becoming a yadgan.Finding opportunity in her father's absence at Ganzhuer Temple, she went to ayadgan and began learning how to be ayadgan. Soon her father returned and stoppedher study. She then died and, 3 days later, her father also died. This was followedby the death of many Duertala people. Sacrifices were desperately made to the girlas Hojoor Barken. Her power was soon felt in her mother's home, and she becamethe Hojoor Barken of both mokons.The following relate to Hojoor Barken origins: Long ago there were seven boys andone girl in Duboqian Mokon of Onon Hal. The girl was betrothed to a boy ofMording Hal. Before marriage, the girl became pregnant, which was discovered byher uncles. In order to escape punishment, she fled with her vanity case. Her unclesat once set out in pursuit, and found her at Yisherhada. Unwilling to return, sheplunged into a river off Guaile Mountain cliff and drowned. Her vanity case driftedin the Nenjiang River to the Mording Mokon area. As a result of her spiritapparition, Orner and Mording Mokons were afflicted with frequent diseases.Consequently, she was established as a hojoor goddess. There was no image for her.Nine liquor cups were used in worship. The origin chant for Hojoor Barken follows.This goddess was worshipped by our first ancestor,When and where she originated and how she emerged,Was once relevant to the Inlaid Yellow Banner,These questions are related to Huonli open field.She hid in Esir Clifl,And stayed high on Guaile Cliff.Her hand-holdi were found in ponds,Her chains in green water,%/Urokxi is unknown to us and those we consulted.]Y@faluo, as used here, was unknown to those we consulted. Later, it is used tomean wooden Kaltagdii and Koltogdii images. Perhaps it refers to an image of HolierBarken. ]
