What are the wedding customs of weird ethnic groups?

First, Yugur marriage custom: shoot an arrow at the bride.

At the wedding, the groom shot three arrows at the bride (to avoid hurting people), symbolizing that the bride and groom love each other and grow old together. After the shooting, the groom broke his bow and arrow and threw it at the door. The old man threw it into the fire and burned it.

This custom comes from an old legend: once upon a time, there was no fire in Yugur, and then a hero brought it, so Yugur lived a good life. There was a newly married couple. The husband went out hunting and the wife accidentally put out the fire at home. In order to get a fire, she had to give her blood to the three-headed demon. A few days later, the husband came back, and his wife became skinny because the devil came to suck blood every day. After the husband knew it, he shot the devil's three heads with three arrows. He died of his injuries. Since then, in order to prevent the evil spirits from coming again, and to commemorate the hero who expelled the evil spirits, Yugur people began this ceremony at the wedding. It symbolizes that the bride is protected by a brave and shooting husband, and monsters dare not make waves. It contains the determination and desire of Yugur people to overcome evil and pursue a happy life.

Second, the folk marriage custom of Yunnan-Tibet line: polyandry

In Dense Fog Ding Cun, Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, there is a polygamous marriage. The formation of polyandry is related to geographical conditions. It is located in the Hengduan Mountains and is full of high mountains and canyons. The high temperature in the valley is suitable for farming. The mountain or the top of the mountain is grassland, so you can only graze. This is one of the most special areas in China: semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas, which determines that one man can't take care of both agriculture and animal husbandry, and two or more men in a polygamous family can just solve this contradiction. Many tourists came to Lugu Lake with unprecedented "sexual fantasies" and tried to get married, but most of them ended in failure because Mosuo people refused foreign "invaders".

Third, Hainan Miao people: "Bite their hands" and make promises.

"Reach out and give my brother a bite. The more you bite, the more you see your sister's affection. Castle peak doesn't always leave traces. Seeing that tooth mark is like seeing a person. "

This is a ballad spread among Miao people in Hainan. "Biting hands" is a unique way for young Miao men and women in Hainan to express their love. On holidays, especially on March 3, young men and women sing beautiful and moving songs under betel nut trees, mango forests, streams and grassy slopes to express their ideals, interests and wishes and find their Mr. Right.

In southern Fujian and Taiwan Province Province, tea trees are symbols of unity and death. According to Lang Ying's "Seven Revisions" and Chen's "Tian Ji", "Every tea tree must be planted and moved, and cannot be resurrected.
