Composition of characteristic national culture. 600 words, hurry! ! ! !

Miao nationality:

Men are usually cloth shorts. Miao women's dress is beautiful and generous. The big chest coat is embroidered with floral patterns, and the pleated skirt below is like a broken tail, which is very ethnic. The dress of Miao women is the crystallization of the wisdom of Miao people.

Miao women are good at weaving, embroidery and rainbow dyeing, and their craftsmanship is exquisite, which has won praise at home and abroad. Miao nationality is monogamous, and young men and women have traditional social activities before marriage. For example, "meeting girls" is the way for Miao youth to fall in love freely.

Miao people have the custom of nature worship and ancestor worship, and some people believe in Catholicism and Christianity. The traditional festival of Miao nationality is the annual Huashan Festival (held on the fifth day of the first lunar month, also known as "stepping on Huashan Mountain"), which is the most prosperous festival for Miao people. During the festival, men and women dressed in festive costumes get together to sing and perform drum music, lion dance and lusheng, which is very lively.

Love: jumping on the moon is also a favorite activity of Miao young men and women, usually held on sunny days in spring and autumn. This activity is actually a grand gathering for young men and women to choose their spouses. When jumping on the moon, young men and women sing and dance wildly, choose what they like and make love to each other, so it is also called love dance. On a bright night, young Miao men and women gathered in the Yueyuechang, playing lusheng, shaking small bells and singing love songs. Boys lined up in front with reeds, while girls lined up behind with small bells, and began to dance according to traditional rules and movements. Accompanied by lusheng and bells, the team constantly changes its formation and movements, sometimes forming several big circles, sometimes becoming petal-shaped, sometimes shuttling back and forth, and sometimes alternately arranging flowers. Between * * * mixed with girls and boys singing, laughing and screaming, the scene is very warm. When dancing, men and women can talk and laugh, boys can play lusheng for sex in front of girls, and even collide with each other with dance movements to make them happy. Girls can throw small flower balls wrapped in green towels to their favorite boys in the dance, not once, but twice or three times. People in the stadium are tired of dancing, so they can sit outside and have a rest. People who were watching and resting outside came to dance again, so they took turns dancing until dawn. During this period, young men and women can eat and drink rice wine in the straw shed outside the stadium, or sit outside and sing to each other, or whisper to their new partners, or invite lovers to express their feelings in a secluded place outside the stadium and form a lifelong alliance. In short, many Miao girls and boys became lovers after jumping on the moon overnight. All shall be well, Jack shall have Jill.

Several etiquette taboos for weddings, funerals and having children: Take some money or things to express congratulations or condolences to the Miao people's weddings and funerals, like the locals. During the funeral, after receiving the property of the guests, a group of filial sons and daughters will bow down and toast to the guests to express their deep gratitude. No matter how much a guest drinks, he should take a cup, otherwise it will be considered rude.

After giving birth, Miao women are taboo to outsiders, especially wearing rain boots and pregnant women. If there is a pregnant woman at home, hang a broken straw hat in front of the door or insert a green branch at the fork in the road outside the house to show that outsiders are not allowed to enter. If you accidentally break into the maternal home, the host will bring out a bowl of water for the guests to drink. Guests should drink all the water, and remember not to pour out the endless water. If the guest breaks into the maternal home wearing rain boots, the host asks the guest to take off his shoes and take it out when he leaves, and the guest should respect the host's request. People who break into the maternal home within three days after delivery are called "trampling on life". Those who trample on life must give the baby a name, and be the child's michel platini and godmother, which is the custom of Miao people. Out of courtesy, leave some money and things for your children when you leave, and remember this adopted son or daughter later. If the baby cries day and night or is often sick, the Miao people think that a nanny should be found for the baby. There are two ways to find a guardian or nanny: one is to choose a good day and wait at home. The first person to go home within three days is the child's guardian or nanny; The second is to choose an auspicious day, hold a baby, hold a rooster, hold incense, paper and so on. Take a new bridge by the stream bridge and wait for the first passerby. It is said that it is a blessing for each other to bump into the Miao family and ask for a nanny. Guests should not refuse. They should take their children, say some words of blessing, give them a desirable name, accept the host's hospitality, and leave some belongings as a souvenir when they leave.
