Arbre à monnaie Yao

Au Vietnam, la minorité ethnique San Diu inclut souvent des arbres à argent dans ses obsèques. Cette pratique est profondément enracinée dans la Chine ancienne, où les arbres à argent étaient d’importants objets funéraires et étaient enterrés dans les tombes de l’élite à l’époque de la dynastie des Han (25-220 de notre ère).
L’arbre à argent de base se compose de 3 niveaux formés de branches, avec des “feuilles” imitant les anciennes pièces de monnaie chinoises. Ces niveaux représentent des montagnes que les âmes des morts doivent gravir pour atteindre le sommet de l’immortalité. L’arbre à argent est aussi un symbole de renaissance et de vie éternelle pour les défunts. Cette signification est liée au demi-dieu Yao, qui avait dans son jardin la Plante à Présages, sur laquelle chaque feuille poussait pendant 15 jours, avant de tomber pour en laisser pousser une autre; c’est ainsi ce qu’on l’appelait “pétale de calendrier”. Profondément encré dans de nombreuses croyances, l’arbre à argent fait partie intégrante des outils rituels du chaman.

Yao money tree

The San Diu ethnic minority in Vietnam often includes money trees in their funeral services. This practice is deeply rooted in ancient China, where money trees were important funeral items and were buried in tombs of the elite during the Han dynasty (25-220 CE).
The basic money tree consists of 3 levels formed by branches, with “leaves” that imitate ancient Chinese coins. These levels represent mountains that the souls of the dead must climb to reach the summit of immortality. The money tree is also a symbol of rebirth and eternal life for the dead. This meaning is connected with demigod Yao, who had in his garden the Portent Plant, on which each leaf grows for 15 days, before being shed for another to grow; thus it was called a “calendar petal”. Deeply embedded with many profound meanings, the money tree is an integral component of the shaman’s ritual tools.
