Naxi American marriage customs prohibit marriage with family members.

Our country is a country of etiquette, so when it comes to important things, we have many customs and habits. This is not only a cultural heritage, but also a beautiful blessing. So, what customs do Naxi people have when they meet important wedding events in their lives? Let's go and have a look with Bian Xiao.

Marriage custom of Naxi nationality

Naxi people are monogamous, and it is forbidden to marry their families. Generally, men and women get married around the age of 20, and early marriage is rare. In the old society, marriage paid attention to the right match, parents' orders and matchmakers' words, while the marriage custom dominated by uncles and aunts prevailed. Generally, marriage has to go through the procedures of betrothal, buying wine and holding a wedding.

In the past, young Naxi men and women had social freedom before marriage, and falling in love was called a happy life. Generally speaking, they will not be interfered by their parents. They get to know each other through various festivals, weddings and funerals, meet regularly in Shan Ye, sing and play the piano, pour out their hearts and give gifts to each other.

This traditional social freedom has formed a sharp contradiction with the feudal arranged marriage influenced by China culture. Coupled with social class oppression and exploitation, farmers are increasingly poor, and young people who love each other often cannot get married. In order to be loyal to pure love, they met in a beautiful place or a village near Yulong Snow Mountain and committed suicide.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the continuous improvement of living standards, the gradual popularization of culture and education, and the in-depth implementation of the new marriage law, the freedom of love and the autonomy of marriage have been effectively protected by law, and the custom of Naxi double suicide has long since become a thing of the past.

Naxi young men and women are free to fall in love, so most of them have their own lovers before marriage. But according to the traditional marriage, parents have to arrange everything, and parents pay attention to the same treatment. Therefore, lovers are not allowed to get married without consulting their children.

This phenomenon was particularly prominent in People's Republic of China (PRC) before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, lovers whose parents are not in harmony often show their resistance by escaping marriage and preference. Some met, fled to remote places, lived in anonymity, and returned to their original places a few years later; Some people simply live outside forever and don't go back to their original places; Some ways of resisting are even more tragic, and that is double suicide.

Suicide methods include diving, falling off a cliff, self-immolation, hanging, taking poison, etc. They think that unmarried people in the world can only stay in the third country of Yulong forever after death. This happened from time to time until the fifties and sixties. With the change of history and people's ideas, the marriage of young Naxi men and women is completely arranged by their parents, which has changed a lot. Escaping marriage and double suicide have become a sad history.
