The custom of Miao nationality is to step on the foot.

Stepping on the foot is also called "stepping on the girl's foot". It is a way for young men and women of Miao nationality in Miaoshan area of northern Guangxi to express their love.

In traditional festivals, Miao youths choose their Prince Charming by dancing lusheng, dancing in the hall and singing. But it's hard to speak in public. When people are not looking, young men step on the feet of young women to test their attitudes. If young women reciprocate in the same way, 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.

The marriage of Miao young men and women is mainly independent marriage, which is determined by sociality and romance. Social activities are mostly held on the day of the show or the market. The form is that young men and girls sing, get to know each other's situation and exchange feelings. If the two parties are in love, the man's parents will invite the matchmaker to the woman's house to make peace. Marriage is usually when the bride goes to her husband's house without paying homage. But in some areas, you can take a sedan chair or ride a horse.

Xuan En took the bride to her husband's house. You must enter the bridal chamber from the side door, and the "bridesmaid" will toast the bride and groom to show solidarity. The bride in southern Sichuan will enter her husband's house from the east, saying that it is to commemorate the ancestors who came from the east. In some areas of southeastern Guizhou, the husband's family will prepare a pair of cooked carp for the bride, which means that they have become the husband's family.

Among some Miao people in Songtao, Tianzhu, Qinglong, eastern Sichuan and Guizhou, the bride will live in her husband's family after marriage. In other areas, I go back to my parents' house on the wedding day or the next day, and then take it for a while during holidays, busy farming seasons or when the Yao family gets married, so I will live in my husband's house for a long time after a few years.
