What are the common sense of Maonan civilization etiquette?

Sacrifice and Etiquette for Newborns The first thing in labor is to boil water. The water in labor is not enough for one basin at a time, and it is divided into two programs. The first step is to burn the pot head red, then drop three drops of water into the pot, and the water drops make a rustling sound in the pot. After evaporation, it enters the second process, which is to scoop water into the pot with a big ladle. The old man said: only in this way can the child urinate less. The child born is a boy. He threw a pen into the water and wished the child a bright future. If it is a girl, put an object in the basin, which means that women have high skills. I wish girls high skills in the future. Only from this point, we can see the Maonan nationality's urgent national psychology of seeking knowledge and learning arts. If a baby boy is born, wrap it in the father's clothes; if a baby girl is born, wrap it in the mother's clothes. The old man said: in this way, the child will be decent and not frivolous in the future. This shows that Maonan nationality has always attached importance to civility and politeness in lifestyle, and it is a civilized and civilized nation. After the child is born, the placenta should be tied to a tree at the head of the village, facing the "Tiandefang" of the next month. In Maonan Mountain Township, every year, a nephew visits the residential area of each village, and the nephew can give back some gifts. "Fat" is mostly held when children are five or six months old, some children are held when they are one year old, and they are rarely held when they are more than two years old. If it's a girl, you have to get her ears pierced. Ear piercing under three years old. It hurts to wear ears when you are old. Ear piercing is to prepare for wearing earrings in the future.

Maonan people over 60 years old. If they are weak and sick, they call it "falling off the horse." "Pushing down a horse" requires a fortune teller to choose an auspicious day to "help the horse", which is also commonly known as "adding food to prolong life". Just like a car, you run out of gas after a long journey and need to go to the gas station to refuel. Another example is a swift horse, which has run thousands of miles to the station and is already tired. If you want to continue running, you have to supplement forage and physical strength. In the past, Maonan people thought that old and frail people were multifunctional diseases, and eating "100 grains of rice" would restore health as soon as possible and prolong life. In order to get the "100 meters", the Maonan people's "food supplement and longevity supplement" has two forms: one is that the family economy is relatively difficult and they can't afford the ceremony of "food supplement and longevity supplement", so the old people themselves rushed to the market to "beg for food supplement and longevity supplement"; The other is that the family economy is relatively affluent. Children arrange several tables of food and wine, invite relatives and friends to come home, give the elderly "food to make up their lives", and ask a teacher to hold a ceremony of "adding food to make up their lives".

The way of "begging for food to make up for one's life" is: on the day of polder, the old man first prepares some spare money and goes to the rice shop to beg for some rice when he drives the polder. Before the old man came to the rice stall, he asked the rice seller, "Can I ask you for some rice?" The old man who sold his opinions came to beg for rice, knowing that it was used to "add rice to make up for life", and the master readily offered "rice": "Whatever you want, old man!" So, the old man grabbed a handful of rice and threw a few pennies into the rice basket as a reward. Dozens of stalls, about three or four kilograms of rice. After returning home, the meal is specially for the elderly. He grabbed a piece of rice and cooked it in the pot until it was finished. In this way, it only takes a long time to beg for food. If it's unhealthy after eating, you should still invite your relatives and friends to "send meals to make up your life" and hold a ceremony of "adding meals to make up your life".
