What are the national cultures and customs of Miao nationality?

The national culture and customs of Miao nationality are:

1. Eat Camellia oleifera: Camellia oleifera is a kind of hospitality tea, which is made by mixing fried popcorn with water. If the guest drinks it, the host will be very happy. If he doesn't drink it, it will be regarded as contempt for his master. Some people want to drink three cups, the first is camellia oleifera, the second is bitter tea, and the third is sweet tea.

2, stepping on the foot: also known as "stepping on the girl's foot." In traditional festivals, Miao youth will choose the right person by dancing lusheng, dancing in the hall and singing. But it's hard to speak in public. When people are not looking, young men will step on the feet of young women with their toes to test their attitudes. If young women return in kind, they will accept courtship. Otherwise, we won't blame each other. After "stepping on the foot" to determine the relationship, you can often meet and give each other tokens, and then the parents of both sides agree on the wedding date.

3. Eat the Year: Miao people call the New Year "Eat the Year", which means that "Year" has been eaten by everyone and passed. During the "Year of Eating", people put on festive costumes, and various recreational activities such as playing lusheng, bullfighting and kicking shuttlecock were carried out in various places. After the "Year of Eating", we should put away the bronze drums and reed flutes and start spring ploughing.

4, plucking pheasant hair: Guangxi Miao young man pursued the right person, inserted a beautiful pheasant hair on the reed, and blew a beautiful tune to the girl. The young man waved the reed and let the pheasant's hair brush the girl's cheek. If the girl is interested, she will dial off the pheasant hair on the lusheng; Otherwise, turn around and walk away.

5. Living in a diaojiao building: A diaojiao building is usually 2-3 rooms with upturned cornices and white wooden railings carved with various patterns around the corridor. The bottom layer of crane feet is used to store grain, farm tools, firewood, soil ash, or cattle, sheep, pigs and toilets. The upper class is inhabited by people.
