Sampo, entering the Seat of Divine Foresight: Pardon the intrusion, but- Jing Yuan: On this moment or just my life in general?

Jingo people, northern Myanmar🇲🇲

[languagenerds-archive]

The Jingpo people (also known as Kachin, Jinghpaw, Jingpho, Singpho, Zaiwa, Tsaiva, Lechi, Theinbaw, Singfo, Chingpaw), of Northern Myanmar and parts of India and China have an intricate system of sending messages through collections of plants and objects. The system is most often used when courting. Couples leave little messages hidden in special places. The language is flexible and interpretive; couples may develop special symbols and apply new meanings to familiar symbols. 

1. A leaf with a needle and thread, roots, and sesame seeds means homesick. 2. Meat, charcoal, chili, grass, and fabric means that war has broken out and food and weapons are needed.

3. Grass and matches mean, “I will  burn the enemy’s house”.  4. A man’s first letter to the girl he loves: tobacco tied with a red thread, betel palm, and bamboo splits mean “I am fond of you”. Coins indicate that he has enough money to support her.
