Which Mizo zai/hla was not known before crossing Tiau River by Mizo ancestors?
A)
Hlado leh Bawh hla
B)
Chai hla
C)
Pi Hmuaki zai
D)
Saikuti zai
According to Mizo oral tradition and historical accounts of the migration of the Mizo ancestors, the 'Chai' dance and its associated songs (Chai hla) were not known to the Mizos before they crossed the Tiau River. The Chai is believed to have been adopted or developed after the migration into the current territory of Mizoram, specifically influenced by interactions with other ethnic groups or developed as a celebratory rite after settling. In contrast, 'Hlado leh Bawh hla' are considered ancient songs that date back to the period before the crossing of the Tiau River. 'Pi Hmuaki zai' and 'Saikuti zai' are specific folk songs/ballads associated with legendary figures from later periods of Mizo history and are not categorized as ancestral songs from the pre-Tiau migration era.
