哈尔滨旅游的爆火引发了人们对少数民族赫哲族的关注。在56个民族大家庭中，赫哲族是人数较少的民族，因为少，所以许多人对他们都感到陌生，但其实他们是一个历史悠久，文化丰富又具特色的古老民族。
The Hezhes are one of the smallest ethnic minority groups in China. The 2021 official survey of the population of the Hezhes was 5,373. To understand the Hezhe people, one has to know the importance of fish in their life and culture. Fish is their main food source, so all the Hezhe people settle by the river plains of Heilongjiang’s three major rivers.
赫哲族是中国最小的少数民族之一。2021年官方对赫哲族人口的调查为5373人。要了解赫哲人，就必须了解鱼类在赫哲人生活和文化中的重要性。鱼类是赫哲族的主要食物来源，因此赫哲族都定居在黑龙江三江流域平原一带。
In history, Hezhe people would fish in spring, autumn and winter, and hunt in the mountain forests now and then. A Hezhe family has different boats for different purposes, for example, for casting fishing nets, for spearfishing, etc. When they were not fishing or hunting, they spent time repairing broken fishing nets and boats.
在历史上，赫哲人会在春天、秋天和冬天捕鱼，不时在山林中狩猎。赫哲族有不同的船，用于不同的用途，例如铸造渔网、用矛捕鱼等。当他们不捕鱼或狩猎时，他们会花时间修理破损的渔网和船只。
The Hezhes know how to make the best use of their catch. They eat some fish raw and dry or freeze and store the rest. The fish skin is turned to beautiful clothes that have become the symbol of their ethnicity (种族特点). A coat may require dozens of pieces of fish skin and a month to make. In modern times, the traditional fishing-and-hunting lifestyle has been replaced by a combination of farming, livestock rearing (禽畜饲养) and fishing. But fish remains a major part of their life.
赫哲人知道如何最大限度地利用他们的捕获物。他们生吃一些鱼，或者把剩下的冷冻并储存起来。鱼皮变成了漂亮的衣服，成为了他们种族的象征。一件外套可能需要几十块鱼皮和一个月的时间才能制作完成。在现代，传统的渔猎生活方式已被农业、畜牧业和渔业相结合所取代。但鱼类仍然是它们生活的重要组成部分。
The Hezhes have no written language, but their oral legacies in the form of the Hezhe Yimakan story-telling have been put on UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list. The oral art includes both singing and speaking and has been passed down from generation to generation by the Hezhe people.
赫哲人没有书面语言，但赫哲人以讲赫哲人伊玛堪故事的形式留下的口头遗产已被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录。口头艺术包括唱歌和说话，并由赫哲人代代相传。
The Hezhe people believe in Shamanism(萨满教). They believe that the world is created by the gods and that a shaman is the bridge that connects humans with gods. When a person is ill, they look to the shaman to ask the gods for the cure. On important occasions, for example, when the fishing season opens, the shamans gather to perform their symbolic blessing ceremony, which features traditional songs, rituals, costumes and dancing.
赫哲族信奉萨满教。他们相信世界是由神创造的，萨满是连接人类与神的桥梁。当一个人生病时，他们会向萨满寻求治疗方法。例如，在重要的场合，当捕鱼季节开始时，萨满会聚集在一起进行象征性的祝福仪式，其中包括传统的歌曲、仪式、服装和舞蹈。
