| Description: | Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The laws and customs in Putao vary from period to period. The customs nowadays are different from those in the past. People migrated from Mali Hku Majoi and later arrived in Chyoi Hku Majoi. From there, they went to Hkrang Hku Majoi and later to Hkingdu Yang. During feudalism, our lands were ruled by lords. However, feudalism later caused a lot of social inequality. Later, people revolted against feudalism because they disliked the system. They couldn't stand it anymore, so they tried to revolt. The hereditary chiefs demanded a lot of taxes and tribute. The demands became so great that the people could no longer pay tribute. If a cow was slaughtered, the owner had to give the hindquarter of the cow to the hereditary chief. If a chicken was slaughtered, its legs had to be given to the chiefs. Even when a small bird was slaughtered, its leg had to be given as tribute. The chiefs even required people to give them some of their dried fermented bamboo shoots as tribute. The first chief to practice feudalism was Kareng Hkawp Pungwa of the Duleng clan. People were planning an anti-feudal revolt against him. One of his relatives on his wife's side heard that people were planning the revolt in a cave and informed him. Kareng Hkawp Pungwa thought to himself, "Now I know they are planning to revolt. I should abandon this system." He remained calm and tried to solve the problem peacefully. He calmly said to the people, "If you don't like feudalism, I will give up my position as hereditary chief from today." He called all his family members, relatives, and servants and said to them, "From today, I will no longer be the hereditary chief. I will move to Mali Hku Majoi, where our migration began. I will settle there and collect taxes on iron, gold, and other minerals." He knew that there were many gold mines, iron mines, and jade mines. He brought all his family members, relatives, and servants to Hkingdu Yang. When they arrived in Hpat Hka, he said, "From this area upward, I will not practice feudalism. I will not collect taxes or tribute. I will abandon feudalism. I will practice democracy from now on." "Gumrawng Gumtsa" is a democratic system in which anyone who works hard can hold a Manau festival, enjoy equal opportunities, become a respected elder, and even become a chief if they are admired by the people. Since then, he has practiced democracy here. The Duleng people practiced democracy in this land. The villagers could decide who would be their village headman. Anyone could become the village headman if all the villagers supported him. When the British arrived, they allowed the existing village headmen to remain in their positions. The villages were governed according to British rules. Even though we didn't practice feudalism or collect taxes or tribute, we could still keep slaves. Any wealthy people were allowed to keep slaves called Zau Lahta to work for them. When the British arrived, they freed the slaves. The British paid wealthy people to free the slaves, paying a set price for each slave. We used to rule our land in this way. After the British arrived, we governed our land according to their rules. The Kumdi Shan people in the plains ruled their lands according to their own customs. They had their own Shan chiefs governing their areas. The Hkamti Shan people also had their own system of rules. Their rules were different from ours. However, the rules in the Hkamti Lawng area had to be followed by everyone who lived there. Our Kachin elders argued against their rules. Our elders said, "Your Hkamti rules only apply to your people, not to us. We have our own land ruled by our own village headmen. We have our rules and customs. So your Hkamti Lawng rules and customs are just yours and apply only to your people." That's why the Shan people are trying to strengthen their Hkamti rules these days. The previous Shan chiefs tried to establish a single system of rules for all people, but our Kachin elders opposed them. The government intervened and decided not to use the Kumdi Lung or Hkamti Lung laws. No one except the government could rule the land separately. When the British governed our land, we had to follow their laws. When we gained independence, we followed our country's laws. Under British colonial rule, we followed their laws, but we still had our own chiefs and village headmen. Under the Burmese government, the country has been ruled under military law until today. This explains our country's laws and how we have ruled our land. Transcription (La Ring) Putao ginra gaw Putao ginra hpe up hkang ai lailen gaw moi prat hte prat nbung ai.
