These days, the "14th Winter" ski competitions are in full swing. Snowboarders descend from the slopes, and their spectacular aerial tricks, such as spins and backflips, draw cheers from the spectators. Snowboards, such as the players fighting on the field"**In the Inner Mongolia Hulunbuir Ewenki Museum, there is such a special exhibit - a pair of snowboards that have gone through 60 years.
The Evenki people are one of the "three minority ethnic groups" in China, and they live in the northeast region and have formed an indissoluble bond with ice and snow. Throughout the history of the Evenki people, skis have always been their means of transportation for winter hunting, traveling, and reindeer hunting.
The snowboard is made of pine and is shaped like two thin strips of wood, 5 feet long, 5 inches wide, and 4 minutes thick, with a pointed upturned front end to reduce drag, and a flat back end. The bottom is also glued with animal fur, which is made of the fur of the legs of the Lidakhan, which is divided into stubble and reverse stubble, which can play a role in facilitating sliding and preventing slipping, and is the most traditional means of transportation for the local Evenki people. According to the museum docent Alila, the skis of the Evenki hunters not only carry the wisdom and skills of the Evenki people, but also a symbol of their harmonious coexistence with nature.
This pair of skis was collected from the Evenki Ethnic Township in Aoluguya when the Evenki Museum was established in 1998. Gu Xinjun, a hunter from Aoluguya Evenki Nationality Township, introduced: "Snowboard is a means of transportation made by the Evenki people after entering the Great Khingan Mountains, hunting and chasing wild beasts and looking for reindeer in winter, generally used from heavy snow in November to February and March of the following year, when the weather is good, you can slide 80 kilometers a day, and you generally need to walk for three days on foot, and you can get there on the same day when you put on skis." ”
Although the snowboard has been eroded by years of wind and snow, the surface is mottled and the edges are worn, but it contains profound historical and cultural connotations, witnessing the perseverance of the Evenki people in the ice and snow world, and also witnessing the inheritance and development of ice and snow sports in this land. Alila said.
