Why do Karen women wear collars

Because that's their custom, but now with the progress of society, most of them don't bring it.

Because she is a Karen woman.

The neck is too long, and it is easy to break without a ring.

It will die, because the weight of the head is supported by copper rings. The neck muscles are underdeveloped and very weak.

I've drunk Sprite, bottled, small, in fact, you just need to think about it, but after all, it's a matter of nationality or don't guess!

However, there is another theory, according to legend, that in the past, the inhabitants angered the gods and sent tigers to eat women. Therefore, they decided that all girls should wear copper collars for self-defense. However, there is also a legend that these Karen people originally lived in eastern Myanmar and made a living from farming.

However, the deliberate annexation of the region's natural resources led to war. When men went out to fight, women cast precious metal objects into rings of gold, silver, or brass, and put them around their necks or feet, and this custom was handed down. Every long-necked woman knows how to use herbs to wash her neck, and there are only a few times in their life when they take the copper rings off their necks: when they get married, have children, and die.

Usually they do not easily let outsiders see the appearance of taking off the copper ring, even if they are as close as the long-necked clan.

The reason for the long-necked woman's endless continuation is money. Since fleeing war more than a decade ago, hundreds of Pakistani tribe members have been living in refugee camps on the border between northern Thailand and Myanmar. Although they are illegal immigrants, they have been able to establish themselves in Thailand because of their attractive tourist value, and their lives are much better than those of other tribal refugees.

The long-necked ladies deal in all kinds of souvenirs, and they survive entirely on tourism.

The Long-Necked tribe is made up of the Padang ethnic group, an ethnic minority of the Karen ethnic group in northern Thailand on the border with Myanmar, and can only be seen in the town of Mae Hong Shun.

Mae Hong Shun Town, a town with a population of less than 30,000 people, needs to transfer from Chiang Mai, but the 737 planes come and go, which shows that there are many tourists. The long-necked people live in the village of Nai Suo, about 30 kilometers away from Mae Hong Shun.

The copper ring on the neck of the long-necked woman can reach twenty-five circles, weighing 5-10 kilograms, and the neck is not elongated, but the shoulder bone is pressed down by weight, so that it looks as long as the neck of a phoenix. The neck under the copper ring is an absolute forbidden place that even the husband can't see.

Nowadays, wearing a copper collar is seen as a symbol of beauty and wealth. It is for this reason that the Karen people continue to wear copper collars for little girls when they reach the age of five.

The aesthetics of each ethnic group are different, in the Tang Dynasty, people thought that plump people like Yang Yuhuan were beautiful, and now in the early days, they thought that the skinny was beautiful, and now they think that the healthy ones are beautiful, which is a big aspect, each ethnic group has their own aesthetics, which may seem incredible to you, but maybe they also think that you are not beautiful with a normal neck, and there are not only long-necked people, but also long-eared people.

What is the situation of the Thai long-necked people living in northern Thailand, where the village is basically full of women and children?

Real women are used for pets, so they all want to be like pets, don't fall out of favor, coil him, and it's over.

Maybe it's because of the good looks and personality.

Turnip greens, each with their own love.

You have your preferences and lifestyle.

Others have other people's preferences and lifestyles.

As long as it doesn't get in the way of others, it's okay.

You don't have to impose your views on others, just as others won't impose their views on you.

Since you can't help the world, then please be alone!

The fad and fashion of the moment may be thrown aside later, and I don't know what it is.

If you want to buy diamonds, she will also bring them, one is for decoration and matching, and the other is to follow the trend.

There doesn't seem to be one in my country, only the Kolun people in Thailand and Myanmar have it.

It's not China, northeastern Thailand. ** women almost 4'5 years old to wear about 1 kilogram of collars, will gradually increase in the future If the ears carry a lot of things, it should be which ethnic group in Yunnan, the ear piercing is as big as a table tennis ball

Ouch, I saw it on the blog a few days ago, I forgot it! I'm a rote memorist!

However, it's really nerve-wracking, it's ugly to wear, and the neck is deformed; It's inconvenient to move, hey.

You can just look it up.

It may be the national customs of the locals. It's like the old Chinese woman wrapped in small feet.

Does he have to do it, or does it mean to win a little trust or add to the tragedy?

Some people analyzed that it was to make Shinji believe him, so he said: "Don't worry, let me bear it" It's almost like this, it seems that because of the problem with the thirteenth machine in the back, the pit dug by the ruffian is basically no one understands.

Maybe it's for the sake of the plot, but he can be made again anyway.
