The Evenk are a small member of the big family of the Chinese nation, less than 20,000 people in the country, the Evenk people were divided into three parts before liberation: "Tunguska", "Solun" and "Yakut", and after liberation, they were identified by the nation and were collectively called "Evenk". Aoluguya Evenk is also the least part of the Evenk ethnic group, the number of households can not be counted 200, the population is less than 1,000 people, living in the depths of the old forest of Moriyama all year round, mainly hunting and reindeer, in 2003 in order to improve their production and living conditions, the Genhe Municipal People's Government relocated them to the bottom of the mountain, engaged in reindeer and tourism.
Aoluguya is a tribe inhabited by the Evenk people, located on the Aoluguya River in the northernmost part of Genhe City, Hulunbuir City, on the western outskirts of Genhe City, and is the farthest and most mysterious branch of the Evenk tribe.
The strange thing here is that everyone has a Russian name, and when they encounter a duplicate name, they add a special emblem at the back, such as three Marys in the countryside, followed by large, medium, and small to distinguish, and can also add their own surname.
The Aoluguya are one of the three direct families of the Evenk, the Yakuts, and one of the small tribes, the Evenk are the only reindeer-raising ethnic minority in China.
Before the 1950s, evenk hunters still maintained the production and lifestyle of the late primitive society, eating animal meat and wearing animal skins, living in "plucked luozi" (spire-shaped simple houses made of birch trees) that are not cold in winter and rain in summer, and live by domesticating reindeer. Today, the living conditions of the evenk hunters have changed dramatically, but the simple folk customs have been preserved.
The Evenk hunters are historically famous "deer tribes". According to historians, the Evenk people have three branches: Sauron, Tunguska and Yakutia. Among them, the Solun tribe is an agricultural tribe, the Tunguska is a nomadic tribe, and now most of the two Evenk tribes live in the Evenk Autonomous Banner on the Hulunbuir grassland.
The Yakuts are the Evenk hunters living in Aoluguya Township, who live in the dense forests of the Daxing'an Mountains by hunting and raising reindeer, becoming the last hunting tribe in China, and the Orunchun people, who are not far away, put down their shotguns in their hands in 1996 and completely banned hunting.
In 1965, evenk hunters relocated to Aoluguya in Qiqian Township on the Ergun River on the Sino-Russian border, where they lived a settled life and began a new life.
Here is the boundary between the forest and the grassland, the Daxing'anling and Hulunbuir grasslands meet here, on the one side is the grassland, the river, on the other side is the forest, the hill, the air is fresh, full of wild food, the locals half seriously said "this place is absolutely pollution, even flies, mosquitoes are green food."
The state has established settlements for the people of Aoluguya Township, but reindeer can only live in the forest, so in addition to some villagers in the settlement, there are five reindeer stations scattered in the dense forest, the farthest being 150 kilometers.
In the past, the Aoluguya people raised reindeer only as a means of transport, a reindeer can carry about 35 kilograms of weight, can walk 5 kilometers per hour, in 1964, the deer antler was successful. Today, reindeer are no longer used for transportation, but have become the main source of income for the locals, and the only reindeer in China is about 10,000 here.
