The legend of the water ghost in Chiang Khan.

Come to mumble together, brothers and sisters..."The ghost tradition of carrying water. The house is beautiful. Chiang Khan District. Province."

Originally, the tradition, called the "fur ghost," was a skit to commemorate the gratitude of cows and buffaloes, the afflicted friends who helped the peasants with all their power to work hard. Wearing buffalo horns on a mask was therefore to honor and commemorate the gracious pet.

The word "water" is added to convey "water from the sky," because it is believed that when the "hairy ghost" comes out, the rain falls in the seasons, bringing moisture to the fields.

And in other words, of this tradition (asked from the grandmother at the feisty house) is to pay homage to the "grandfather," the ancestral spirit, to wish the offspring happiness and prosperity.

Anyone visiting Chiang Khan can visit the Ghost Museum at NASA House...

... Read moreประเพณีผีขนน้ำที่เชียงคานเป็นหนึ่งในวัฒนธรรมพื้นบ้านที่มีเสน่ห์และทรงคุณค่าของชุมชนในภาคอีสาน เมื่อได้มาสัมผัสประเพณีนี้ด้วยตนเอง จะรู้สึกได้ถึงความอบอุ่นและความสามัคคีของคนในชุมชนที่ร่วมใจกันจัดงานนี้อย่างตั้งใจ ในฐานะที่เคยไปเยือนบ้านน่าซ่าวและชมพิพิธภัณฑ์ผีขนน้ำมาแล้ว ต้องบอกว่าการสวมใส่หน้ากากเขาควายและการรำร่ายรำเป็นสิ่งที่สะท้อนถึงความผูกพันระหว่างคนกับสัตว์ที่ช่วยกันทำงานหนักตลอดปี และเป็นการขอพรให้ฝนตกต้องฤดูกาล ส่งผลให้การเพาะปลูกเป็นไปอย่างราบรื่นและได้ผลผลิตดี ผู้เฒ่าผู้แก่ในชุมชนเล่าให้ฟังว่า ความเชื่อในผีขนน้ำนั้นไม่ใช่แค่ความเชื่อธรรมดา แต่เป็นการเชื่อมโยงสายสัมพันธ์ระหว่างวิญญาณบรรพบุรุษกับลูกหลาน ให้ลูกหลานได้สืบสานและรักษาวัฒนธรรมดั้งเดิมอย่างยั่งยืน นอกจากความสนุกสนานและสีสันของงานแล้ว การแวะชมพิพิธภัณฑ์ผีขนน้ำจะช่วยให้เข้าใจความหมายลึกซึ้งและประวัติความเป็นมาของประเพณีนี้ได้มากขึ้น ซึ่งต่างจากการเห็นเพียงแค่การแสดงรำเท่านั้น สำหรับใครที่วางแผนไปเที่ยวเชียงคาน แนะนำให้ได้ลองสัมผัสประเพณีผีขนน้ำ และเรียนรู้ประวัติความเป็นมาของชุมชนบ้านน่าซ่าว เพราะนี่คืออีกหนึ่งประสบการณ์ท้องถิ่นที่จะทำให้รู้สึกเชื่อมโยงกับรากเหง้าของวัฒนธรรมอีสานได้อย่างแท้จริง
