[Arooswan]

what they is qeej nruag (nruas)

[roll3rboy]

Wow. Its sad.

[smarthomebiz]

I think so, no matter how long that we had sepatarate but we alway have same fenural practices.

Thanks for share.

[tsuvyimher]

i came upon this susprising video clip, I like the video, i agree with the izumilien, funeral practice is very similar, make the story short : we are one root.

[pajyeeblo]

i think its like you are a Ntsuag after they pass away....

[calhmoob]

Qeej Ntsuag is written in Green. What the title says in White is "Qeej Nruag." You can even here it in the song.

[mandead10]

Did you take this video?

This seems like these Hmoob are Yunnan Hmoob. But not sure

[cibergurl]

Is this a funeral?if it is than that's the one thing that we hmong still keep until these days...

[pangGo]

whoa, very interesting

[MoobZooNraug]

brother,

peb tav txiv neej yawg taag lawm, yuav tsum xyum sau ntawv kuas thwj thwj, luas txhaj tsi thuam peb. the drum is call "nruag"...not "ntsuag". when you said 'qeej ntsuag', people would think that you mean "orphan qeej"...

[jzxiong]

lol..

looks like their having fun dancing around..

[threeheadedzen]

Ah.. Hmong funerals now a days are so short that you don't even get to go through any of this any more. Pretty soon it'll be something of the past and forgotten all together. How sad huh.

[jesuis88]

Hmmm where are you from? Around here in the US Midwest, our funerals are still about 3 days, not including the week leading up the funeral with food, meetings, and preparations.

[kikyo4ever]

there's also the thing about Hmong Christian too. Some of them have funeral like the American way.

Funeral now a day still last 3-5 days.

[changbrothers]

@jesuis88

If you really want to go into traditional, It's 7 days. There's a story why 7 days. I made this video for all of us who'd not known. _www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSyOx­mRHAyg

[someHMONGdude]

My grandfather was known as a legend in playing the Qeej instrument. He knows how to play over 100 hmong traditional stories. He was also known for his dance with the Qeej. Challengers from mountains afar came to battle him but no one could defeat him in Qeej battle dance to retain his title. He was also a famous shaman. When my grandfather past away in Thailand my father had a dream that the heaven's came and took him to play for the heaven's and earth.

[mandead10]

Wats your grand fathers Name?

What village was he from?

[lovesdennis]

wow! interesting.

[mindyvang89]

what r the guys doing going

around the circle.

[pajyeeblo]

can anyone explain what they are doing in 2:50-2:57 that part... as i haven't seen it here in the USA or in Loas? what are they doing?? did we lose that as part of our culture?? just curious... please explain... i'm very interest and would to know...

[mellowmengo]

probably we found that to be too goofy.. maybe thats why we stop doing that dance?

[lemahv]

I ask my older brother and he says we just don't have time for it here no more cause back in laos when there was no war yet funeral lasted a week depended on who and what age they are. he said that my gramps lasted a week! everyting you see in here we do it back then too. I forgot what the holdings are for but he did told me..

[vais1989]

oh yeah maybe now and days in the US...u know u gotta pay the funeral house so maybe they dont last a week cause maybe too much payments on it...??? i think..

[taotsu]

funerals in the states has to be shorten due to work.

[LuvinPapaYah]

Well, from what I can remember, all of the funerals I've attended fully, (My grandma-1998, grandpa-2005, grand-uncle-2000, and my MOTHER's-1999) were all about 5 days long. I'm sure that's considered close enough to be a week. I'm not sure I've heard of Hmong funerals lasting shorter than this...

[jokesonyou9]

funerals that i have attended lasts at least 3 days! that is the maximum and that is the minimum!

[MorvekThar]

True. I practice Qeej, and all the funerals i've gone to (more than 20+) have lasted at least 4 days (ex. Friday-start, Monday-buried). If the family was poor, It would have lasted at least 2 days.

[LuvinPapaYah]

That's a lawsuit waiting to happen if your boss refuses you from attending a funeral of a deceased loved one or relative. It's also discrimination of religion. So work is not, should not really be an excuse.

[mandead10]

That part Hmoob Laos don't do.... My dad said they probably lost the way of doing it.

My dad is a Txiv Qeej.

[foreverblueskies]

Thanks for showing this... Our ancestors came from China. And it's interesting to see how the funeral tradition hasn't changed.

[levue04]

this is interesting...

[NtxhaishmoobVang]

00000 no difference well..barely..Just dont have the time..and some funeral homes dont let us do much but cry and etc...The necessary stuff only..

But koolios

[thaoplayer]

something is diferent.....

[lemahv]

nothing has chang just that in america we don't have the time for it but in loas and thai its still practice with lots more people holding, thats the only differ in US cause we don't have the time because of work and ect!...

[leurseng]

I see that the tradtion and rituals are still there and we are still practicing it until this very day. There may have been minor changes but everything still looks the same.

[RK1]

im suprise that our way of funeral is still the same. the paper, queej player, and drum. Here in US we have about the same setup.

[lemahv]

dam its sad wacthing this, just the same as

my mom's funeral session, so alike!

[xeemlauj]

wow, it very sadden me watching this clip. i agree on what you wrote, our funeral ritual remains unchanged even after hundred years of separation.

[911XFILE]

The title should be like, "Hmoob Qeej Tuag"

[izumilien]

True, but "Hmoob Qeej Ntsuag" is how the translator translated 苗家笙鼓. I want to honor that.

Pom qhov video no ua rau kuv tig lub siab rov los muab peb hmong nyob USA cov dab qhuas saib li nyiaj thiab kub. Cov kwvtij nrhiav txoj qhov twg ntshe yuav tsis muaj tej kev cai zoo li no lawm. Peb Hmoob nyob USA yuav tsum tig rov los sib hlub.

[lislijhuam]

hmoob kev cai dab qhuas ces zoo ib yam xwb. tsis hais nyob lub teb chaws twg li. nov thiaj yog Hmoob.
