What is the marriage custom culture of Miao nationality? What are the characteristics?

There are four stages in Miao marriage custom culture, which has typical Miao characteristics. First of all, after Miao men and women decide to get married, both parents will choose auspicious day to arrange marriage. After the date is set, the couple can't meet. Until the day before the wedding, the man needs to send all the items and bride price needed for the wedding to the woman's home for her parents to confirm.

One thing in these betrothal gifts is glutinous rice Baba, but this glutinous rice Baba is different from ordinary ones. This glutinous rice Baba needs to be made of 30 kilograms of glutinous rice and then made into a very large glutinous rice cake, which means that the newlyweds can be round and round, and it also indicates that it will last for a long time.

Then on the wedding day, the folks and relatives and friends in Miao stockade will get together, and the man will take several good brothers and gifts to visit the bride's house, accompanied by experienced elders. It's not easy to walk all the way. On the way to meet the bride, many women's villagers will block the way with bamboo poles, and they will sing. After singing, they need to give gifts to the relatives of women who are in the way before they can be released. This road has to go through several times before it can reach the woman's house smoothly.

Some people will play tricks on the groom and put some lime on his face to make him look stupid. On the wedding day, the groom will celebrate, so these funny ways can't be angry, and they also represent the blessing to the blind date. Then, after successfully marrying the bride, she should be taken back to her home, and then a ceremony of meeting the bride will be held to propose a toast to both parents. Feed your parents the first bowl of rice before meals.

During the wedding, the villagers who join in the fun will also seize the opportunity to play tricks on the groom. Some people will put a laundry list on the groom, which also adds a festive atmosphere to the wedding and makes everyone happy. Moreover, some Miao people will deliberately stage the drama of robbing the bride when they marry the bride to show that the bride is in demand. And if the man likes the new and hates the old, the woman has more reason to argue with him.
