Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I am going to tell is about how Kachin ethnic had been descending from Majoi Shingra Mt. Hkahku, one of the Kachin ethnic groups, has been descending from the way of Hugawng Danai. Since it is a fertile land, we get a lot although we grow just a few. When Jinghpaw people reached there, they did farming. But they slept most of the time instead of doing work. When someone asked, "Don't you work?" Then, Jinghpaw people answered, "We could get a lot even though we don't work hard." From that day, Jinghpaw people have got the name as 'the lazy Jinghpaw'. Maru, one of the Kachin ethnic groups, had usually been bullied by the others. So, they couldn't work well. And they were short in height. Maru had been bullied by the others because they were short and small. Since then, they are called 'the short Maru'. The land where they lived was not good enough to cultivate. And Maru didn't have enough nutrition. So, they were short. Some of Maru people are very short. So, they got the name as 'the short Maru'. And Zi, one of the Kachin ethnic groups, were the mads and fought the others although they didn't win. They can vituperate a lot. Zi people always carried the sheath to bully. That was the reason they got the name as 'the mad Zi'. Lashi, one of the Kachin ethnic groups, are so stubborn. People used to say Lashi people are so stubborn. Actually, they aren't. Lashi people kept calmness no matter how hard people bullied them. They can tolerate. We said 'stubborn Lashi', 'Lazy Jinghpaw', 'short Maru', and 'angry and short-tempered Zi'. Actually, Lashi people are not stubborn. The reason why Kachin people called Lashi as stubborn is even though other people bullied them, they didn't say anything to the others and can tolerate. Lisu, one of the Kachin ethnic groups, did nothing and just followed after the brothers (The other Kachin tribes) who moved to plain. They just followed the other ethnic groups who moved to lowland area. Then, they got the name as 'Lisu gawng la' or 'Lisu gawng da'. Kachin tribes were giving the nicknames each other while they had been descended from Majoi Shingra Mt. Jinghpaw arrived to Hugawng Danai. It is a pleasant and fertile land. So, Jinghpaw people got more benefits although they cultivated or worked just a little. They slept most of the time in the farm. They believed in land too much without doing any hard work. That was why Jinghpaw got the name as 'lazy Jinghpaw'. This is about how Kachin people gave names to each other and the descendants of Kachin ethnic groups from Majoi Shingra Mt.
