【非洲·埃塞俄比亚】锡达莫人的新年庆典 Fichee-Chambalaalla, New Year festival of the Sidama people（2015年）

Fichee Chambalalla是西达玛人庆祝的新年节日。根据口头传统，菲奇纪念一位Sidama妇女，她结婚后每年去看望父母和亲戚一次，带来Buuriame，这是一种用假香蕉、牛奶和黄油制作的食物，与邻居分享。菲希从此成为西达玛人的统一象征。每年，占星家都会确定节日的正确日期，然后向部落宣布。整个节日期间都会举行社区活动，包括传统的歌舞。每个成员都参加，不分年龄、性别和社会地位。第一天，孩子们挨家挨户地向邻居打招呼，邻居为他们服务。在节日期间，宗族首领建议Sidama人努力工作，尊重和支持长者，避免砍伐土著树木、乞讨、懒惰、伪证和盗窃。因此，该节日加强了埃塞俄比亚西达玛部落和不同民族之间的公平、善政、社会凝聚力、和平共处和融合。父母通过口头和参加庆祝活动将这一传统传递给他们的孩子。尤其是女性，她们会将与美发和准备青春美发有关的知识和技能传授给各自村庄的女儿和其他女孩。

2015年度列入人类非物质文化遗产名录。

Fichee-Chambalaalla is a New Year festival celebrated among the Sidama people. According to the oral tradition, Fichee commemorates a Sidama woman who visited her parents and relatives once a year after her marriage, bringing buurisame, a meal prepared from false banana, milk and butter, which was shared with neighbours. Fichee has since become a unifying symbol of the Sidama people. Each year, astrologers determine the correct date for the festival, which is then announced to the clans. Communal events take place throughout the festival, including traditional songs and dances. Every member participates irrespective of age, gender and social status. On the first day, children go from house to house to greet their neighbours, who serve them buurisame. During the festival, clan leaders advise the Sidama people to work hard, respect and support the elders, and abstain from cutting down indigenous trees, begging, indolence, false testimony and theft. The festival therefore enhances equity, good governance, social cohesion, peaceful co-existence and integration among Sidama clans and the diverse ethnic groups in Ethiopia. Parents transmit the tradition to their children orally and through participation in events during the celebration. Women in particular, transfer knowledge and skills associated with hairdressing and preparation of buurisame to their daughters and other girls in their respective villages.
