Manchu customs and habits are as simple as possible.

In the old Manchu marriage, family status was emphasized, and early marriage and marrying older women prevailed. This has something to do with the man in the flag going out to be a soldier, hoping to have a baby early. In aristocratic official families, marriage refers to marriage, which is mostly designated by the court. Banner also refers to marriage by parents. The "draft" of the Qing court was to choose concubines for the emperor and the prince, which was limited to the internal selection of officials of the Eight Banners.

2. Clothing:

Men keep their hair from the back half of the top of their heads, and their braids hang down behind their heads. After the Qing dynasty entered the customs, it was forcibly popularized all over the country, making it the hairstyle of Manchu, Han and Mongolian nationalities in the Qing dynasty.

Women's hair styles are the same as those of boys in childhood, slightly longer, with one or two braids at the back of their heads. When you get married, open your face and have curly hair. Usually the bun is tied on the top of the head, with a shelf head and two first-class hairstyles. Wear earrings, one ear has three rings.

3. Funeral:

Before entering the customs, Manchu people were mainly cremated. Since the late period of the emperor shunzhi, influenced by the Han culture, Manchu people generally changed to coffin burial, and combined with their own national characteristics, they formed the funeral custom with Manchu characteristics. Before Qianlong, flag bearers stationed in various places kept cremation and packed their ashes back to Beijing because they wanted to send the deceased and their survivors back to Beijing.
