Naxi customs

"Step on the pig fat" is the Naxi rite of passage. There is a branch of the Naxi people called the Mosuo people, and the Mosuo people will be called "stepping on pig fat", "wearing a skirt ceremony" or "wearing pants ceremony" when organizing the rite of passage for the children. This traditional rite of passage takes place when the child reaches the age of thirteen. Girls stand under the female pole and boys under the male pole, and after the ceremony begins, parents bring out the skirts and pants that they have carefully prepared for their adult children. When they put on their skirts and pants, it means that they can stand on their own and become adults.
