What are some of the strange but real customs you ve encountered?

Ethos. Of course, the customs of ethnic minorities are more peculiar, and I am a native of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The terrain is treacherous.

Poverty and backwardness. There are many ethnic groups in the mountains, the Hmong. Zhuang, Buyi.

Li. Yao. There are many customs of each race, so I won't introduce them one by one.

Let's get to know my hometown, every New Year's Day is not allowed to go to other people's houses, especially girls. It is commonly known as giving money to others. Generally, when you go to relatives, you can only start the second day of the new year.

You can't look in the mirror at night, haha, it's weird. After coming to the big city, I was speechless for a moment, people's barbershops were still open at two or three o'clock in the evening, and the concert was held on the third day after the death of the person, and the show was held. Laughing.

It is commonly known that when you are born, you are crying and crying, and you must be happy after death. It's also a relief.

I've heard of the noodle kneader, I'm talking about a different custom. The custom in my hometown village is that when a person dies, he has a ritual, blows, blows, beats, and then buries. When the third anniversary comes, the grave is dug up and the person is carried out of the coffin, and the dough is mixed with paint, and the dough is used to mend, cover, knead, and shape the ...... on the bonesPinch out the shape of the face, then draw the nose, eyebrows, mouth, paint, wait for the dough to dry, put on a new longevity clothes, and then do a ritual, blow and blow, and then bury.

That's a dead end.

Believe in superstitions. If there is something wrong at home, such as someone who is sick and cannot be cured for a long time, he will go to find it"Medicine cats"(Chuanyin), similar to a fortune teller, but with a difference, is usually a woman in her fifties or sixties. They would do the math, burn an egg, and bring it back to the sick to eat. Or give another amulet.

The steamed white glutinous rice cake in Jiangnan for the New Year, dotted with red characters, is as hard as a stone when it is cold, and most of them don't eat it because they are too rich. I find this interesting. There are also Jiangnan women who have to buy very luxurious clothes when they get married, even if the salary is not high, admire this petty bourgeoisie!

Hello, first time we met and took a shower together? "The most important thing in living in Brazil is to take a bath in addition to eating, especially when you meet some guests who come to travel, they usually invite them to take a bath together, and if they accept the invitation, then try to wash for a longer time, which also indicates that the host is more considerate. This social etiquette is too individual.

Some of the folk "customs" that are slowly disappearing have disappeared!

The times are advancing, science and technology are developing, and some of our backward customs are now slowly disappearing! Let me introduce a few folk customs that are slowly disappearing.

Merchants, in the old days, people in the countryside or urban streets and alleys to sell daily groceries, some of them also buy local products. Also known as "merchant". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the transportation was gradually convenient, the circulation of goods was relatively fast, and the merchant burden has gradually disappeared.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, this day is called "breaking the five", every family eats dumplings, and then women can go out to the street. Women generally do not leave their homes before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

New Year's greetings are a traditional Chinese folk custom, which is a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year and express good wishes to each other. On the morning of the first day of the new year, after the younger generation gets up, they should first greet the elders and wish them a long and healthy life and all the best.

It is also a custom before the Chinese New Year, and the stone trough used to make glutinous rice cakes weighs more than 200 catties, and it takes several people to carry it together. There are four people who make glutinous rice dumplings, everyone, you and I, or in a few minutes, the glutinous rice that is buried in the fragrant wheel will become glutinous rice dumplings. The young people who beat the rice dumplings finished beating this family, and then went to fight the other family, and then they could eat a lot of rice cakes.

One in a thousand miles - in rural areas, the bride price is just a form, and the value is not the amount of money, generally only one thousand miles to pick up liquid, and some rural areas also have a saying that one in a hundred.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the government is on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the general private house is on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and now this ceremony is no longer held in many places.

You know which ones!

"Living children and grandchildren".

It means that if the old people in the family live for a long time, their children and grandchildren are dead, and the old people are still very spiritual, that is the life of their children and grandchildren.

There is also a saying that if the old man lives too long, it will affect the fortune of suppressing the children and grandchildren.

The most terrifying folklore that makes me feel is that close relatives can intermarry in the past, and this kind of behavior has been banned in modern times, but in ancient times, this phenomenon was still relatively common, and there were many tragedies, which is what I can't understand.

I think one of the horrible customs is to find a partner for the dead. If a woman is not married or married before she dies, then she will marry another man who has died.

Ghost marriage, the dregs of feudal dross, Cao Cao's son Cao Chong died young, Cao Cao matched him with a ghost marriage, and the reason why the ghost marriage still exists in some places is people's fantasy of the afterlife, having a wife and a family.

Underworld marriage, and there is a funeral with property, of course, there is anything else to catch ghosts and cultivate immortals, it may be that technology and culture have not been popularized, so this situation will occur. The main thing is the powerlessness of the people at the bottom, so there will be this phenomenon.

I'll give you an analogy of the kind of ethnic group you are talking about, let's say it's a marriage trouble. In fact, in many areas, it is still rumored to give the bride a dismount, so that the habit of marriage trouble can continue.

Because our country is actually very large, maybe we can't understand the customs of some places, because we haven't lived there, which is also the reason for the large geographical gap.

Underworld marriage, marrying a ghost bride.

1. In the Chaoshan area, a boy or son who marries a wife in the previous year will worship the "master" during the Lantern Festival in the second year; 2. Worship when sweeping the tomb on the Qingming Festival"Sugar cane", the meaning is that the festival is high; 3. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should buy many kinds of fruits and moon cakes to worship the "Moon Niang", that is, to admire the moon; 4. When boys and girls are fifteen years old, they are called "entering the garden", and they have to wear new clothes and receive red envelopes on the same day; 5. When a girl reaches the age of marriage, she cannot see her future mother-in-law before she gets married, and she is afraid that she will not be able to get along with her future mother-in-law after marriage.

Chinese culture has a long history, and many folk customs have been left in the long history, among which the more interesting ones are: the custom of hanging wormwood, the custom of playing mud fights, and the custom of boiling plums

Eating rice cakes, preparing New Year's goods, etc.

A lot of folk customs have disappeared, and I know that the more interesting folk customs are. The Dragon Boat Festival uses a colorful rope to make a ring and wear it on the hand, and there are feet on the neck and neck, saying that it can ward off evil spirits, and many children like my mother's weaving.

For example, the Tujia family celebrates the Daughter's Day every year, and all the Tujia girls will sing mountain songs together, but now this custom has slowly disappeared.

Hit the tree flowers. Hitting the tree flower has a long origin in Wei County, Hebei Province, at night, the craftsman will hit the molten iron on the city wall, the fire tree silver flower, very spectacular.

New Year's greetings to the elders of the younger generation, in our hometown, every New Year's month will kowtow to each other, now from the hometown, young people no longer use this way to pay New Year's greetings!

Don't shave your head during the New Year. It's a really interesting custom. Originally, I wanted to take care of it when I was in the first month, but my mother was stunned and didn't let me pay attention.

I know that on the day of the second dragon raising its head in February, many people will go to get a haircut, which means that they will have good luck this year.

With the underworld marriage, Xiangxi chases the corpse, releases the dust Gu worms, hangs the coffin burial, marries the deceased, so that they have a companion underground, and the corpse is the head of the Qin manuscript Master Xishou Zen, and there are many corpses lined up behind.

For example, in the underworld marriage, which is to make a wedding sacrifice for the dead, and bury the man and the quiet woman together. There are also bones picked, 3 to 5 years after the person dies and is buried in the ground, the bones of the Zhiyun code are dug up and stored again.
