丘丘人習俗的多元化——以蒙德的達達烏帕谷為例

「好肉族」喜好大吃大喝，它們在部落中搭建了蓄養野豬的豬圈，並且有專門的「豬倌」負責看管。它們會以火史萊姆為天然的爐灶，支起一口大鍋用以烹煮肉湯，部落成員均可按需分食。
在它們的部落中，最引人注目的是一座龐大的擂台。似乎無論任何人只要登上這座擂台，就會被預設為接受部落的挑戰，而被趕下擂台者會遭到全部落的嘲笑。

「好睡族」更傾向於抓住一切可能的時機打瞌睡，它們甚至會專門為更舒適的睡眠而搭建簡陋的房屋，挑選柔軟暖和的獸皮作為床鋪。可能由於睡眠充足的優勢，它們是丘丘人中最狡猾和精明的。

「黑日族」是蒙德丘丘人部落中最神秘的一支。比起肌肉和小聰明，它們更重視信仰的神秘力量。與一般丘丘人信仰的自然元素力量不同，它們崇拜的物件似乎是一個仿若黑色太陽的簡陋符號。它們的薩滿比其他部落的薩滿擁有更強的力量。在部落營地的中央，黑日族為地位最高的薩滿準備了最高大的「御座」。

Dadaupa Gorge, Mondstadt: a Case for Cultural Diversity Among the Hilichurls

The Meaty tribe is fond of feasting. They have built a boar-rearing pen in the center of their settlement and assigned a swineherd to watch over it. Over a natural stove made with a Pyro Slime, they cook boar stew in a single, large pot from which each tribe member feeds according to their needs. The most striking feature of this tribe is its sizable combat arena. Those who set foot in the arena are understood to be accepting an open invitation to engage in combat, and those subsequently ousted from it face being mocked by the entire tribe.

The Sleeper tribe is prone to sleeping at every opportunity. They have built themselves an environment especially conducive to sleep, consisting of simple, wooden huts furnished with soft animal hide for beds. They are the most cunning and devious of the hilichurl tribes, and their above-average mental capacity can perhaps be attributed to the superior sleep quality they enjoy.

The practices of the Eclipse tribe are the most occult of any in Mondstadt. They concern themselves neither with brains nor brawn, but with occult power. Distinct from the elemental powers worshiped by their peers, the object of their worship is a crude symbol that appears to represent an eclipsed sun. Their shamans are more powerful than those of the other tribes. In the center of their settlement, the other tribe members have built a grand throne for the most formidable of shamans who leads them.
