Yunnan Customs Yunnan Customs Introduction

Chanting songs is a traditional way for many minority youths in Yunnan, and it is also a way to celebrate festivals.

2. Crying to get married

Weeping marriage is the marriage custom of Zhuang, Yi, Hani and Tibetan nationalities. Usually a few days before the wedding or on the wedding day. The bride's mother and female relatives in her family accompanied her to cry, showing her sadness at her teenage death, repaying her parents' kindness, being attached to her family's departure, and complaining about her dissatisfaction with marriage.

Step 3 rob relatives

In Yunnan, Yi, Dai, Bai, Achang, Lisu, Jingpo, Yao and other ethnic groups all have the custom of robbing marriage, which generally occurs when the free love and marriage between men and women are blocked. With the woman's prior acquiescence, the man's partner pretends to rob the bride or the partner takes the girl who has been secretly selected. Even if girls want to, they should pretend to resist.

4. Packet loss

Every year, during the Songkran Festival, young Dai men and women should wear festive costumes and line up in two rows. The woman threw the flower bag at the boy she liked. If the man is interested, he pretends not to pick up the flower bag, gives up happily, gives the gift to the girl, and both of them leave the scene to talk. I lost my bag and sang, danced and had a picnic.
