1. Mongolia: camel persuasion ceremony

Camels play an important role in the life of Mongolians near Gobi. Whether camels can reproduce smoothly also affects the fate of the whole tribe.

Therefore, Mongolian shepherds use singing, Ma Touqin, cross talk or touching to appease and cajole female camels, so that they can accept newborn camels or adopt young camels without mothers.

It is said that this ceremony can also stabilize the camel's mood and promote the female camel to produce milk.

2. Mexico: Day of the Dead

Traditional festivals in Mexico are generally considered to have originated from the customs of the indigenous people in Central America and North America, and are influenced by Catholic culture. In this festival, family and friends will get together and bring their favorite food, sugar skulls, marigold and other items to the cemetery to commemorate the dead.

The Day of the Dead is easily confused with Halloween, but it is actually very different. First of all, the Day of the Dead is about the souls of deceased relatives and friends, similar to Tomb-Sweeping Day in China, while Halloween is about preventing all kinds of ghosts from harming human beings. Secondly, the theme element of the Day of the Dead is skeleton, which has nothing to do with other monsters.

3. Lithuania: Cross Sculpture and Its Symbol

The process of making crosses in Lithuania can be traced back to about15th century, when Christianity was introduced into Lithuania.

Now, making crosses has become a national cultural tradition in Lithuania and even the former Soviet Union. Not only the manufacture of crosses and altars, but also the sanctification ceremony of crosses and a series of related ceremonies.

4. Gambia, Senegal: Kankeran (Mandin's rite of passage)

Kankeran is a rite of passage in Mandin, Gambia and Senegal.
