特别有趣的。当我去云南冒险的时候，大概会见到彝族人，尤其地在巍山彝族回族自治县。可是云南的彝族和四川凉山的彝族不一样，而这首诗是凉山彝族创作出来的。
I need to find a Yunnan Yi-specific text for my travels there later this year. This is not quite as enchanting or as deep as a heroic epic like Hanvueng, but it's still an immensely enjoyable cosmogony.

I feel like it would take two or three additional readings to really begin to understand this text. So, so many Yi names that are very confusing on a first read. I read 兹的主地 twice to try to understand what I'd read. 合侯赛变, though, was an easier read, a wonderful tale of tribal origins as two feuding families engage in various transformations in an attempt to undermine the other before ultimately making peace.

Lots of unusual place names, but only a handful of Yi words I really have to look up. 兹 refers to nobles, 倮 refers to commoners.
