There are two kinds of robbing marriage: one is that both men and women voluntarily rob marriage; The other is that the man takes a fancy to a girl and forcibly grabs her whether he likes it or not.

Step 2 make love to flowers

Young Miao people often fall in love through flowers, which is called "anthomaniac". The "flower-fixing love" is usually carried out when the Miao people hold a grand song meeting. On this day, groups of men and women came to the concert hall, jumping on bamboo poles, playing golden reeds and singing songs in their hearts.

In the music world, if Ge Lang has a crush on a girl, he tries to put a flower on the rock slope where the girl is easy to be seen and hide himself. If the girl takes a fancy to Ge Lang, she will sing "Flower Chasing Song".

Step 3 "Bite your hand" to make a promise
