Excuse me, "What is the traditional Tibetan marriage like?"

Tibetan Marriage Customs Due to the special living environment, Tibetans have formed special traditional marriage customs. Because of the interaction with Chinese culture and other national cultures. Infiltration has changed so far, but those ancient marriage customs with profound connotations are still interesting. Historically, Diqing Tibetans had three forms of marriage: polygamy, monogamy and polyandry. Polygamy is limited to the upper class in history, but it is different from the Han nationality's taking wives and concubinages. A man married two sisters as his wife. In the wedding, Ming Media is marrying 1 person, and other sisters live with her brother-in-law. There is no difference between several wives, and they can live in harmony. Polygamy is the most typical marriage form of Tibetans. Under the general conditions before 1949, men mostly entered the temple by becoming monks or leaving, while women took care of their family business at home. If a family has several brothers, only the eldest brother will get married. After the wedding, the housewife can take turns living in the house where she got married with several other brothers. There is usually no conflict, because there are often people outside, or "my brother is widowed." Even if they are at home at the same time, there will be no contradiction and they hate each other. With the progress of the times, after 1949, monogamy gradually replaced the above two forms of marriage. However, the custom of the eldest daughter staying at home has never changed, and the hardship of women at home and the status of running family business are deeply rooted. The rest of the brothers and sisters either became monks, or entered temples, or entered temples, and some sisters stayed and became family nuns. Tibetans enrich their lives with bold and affectionate songs and dances, so there are weddings in songs and dances. Young Tibetan men and women met each other by singing at tea parties, and after falling in love, they used love songs and divination to talk about love. At the wedding, the families of both men and women should specially invite men who can talk and sing to be the wedding emcee as the leader of the wedding team and the farewell team. Before Zhongdian Tibetan married people (or those who join the club) go out, their parents make an order. Go out and sing a farewell song, like crying. At that time, Guan will hold white Hada and lead the team to sing around the column. Riding on horseback, the farewell party sang Luge village songs along the way, and passed on an affectionate song to the scenery along the way and to the whole village, wishing everything in the village happiness and well-being. The wedding team has lined up in front of the door, ready for the incense table, dismounted table and the girl carrying water. When the seeing-off team arrives, the leader of the seeing-off team respectfully invites the seeing-off team before closing, and closes at the dismounting table to dismount. In some places, weddings are held before dismounting. The farewell party sent a rider, holding an arrow and a flag, to meet him far from the door of the house in order to welcome the blessing. The farewell party came with a song of blessing, indicating that it brought blessings and called for the blessing of the Lord. The person who greeted the blessing listened to the song and rode around the farewell party, said that it was hard, and then shouted: "Blessing is coming!" " Pegasus rushed to the village to greet relatives as a blessing. At this time, there is an interesting "episode": the rider who sent off the wedding also flew forward, aiming to catch up with the rider who greeted the blessing. If he catches up, he can be punished with a whip. In fact, this is a good opportunity for young riders to show their riding skills, and it also brings a lot of fun to people at the wedding. After the team dismounted, Hada was presented on the water tank of the water bearer to show good luck, and then a door song was sung. When entering the door, the guests attending the wedding are dipped in water and wine, and sing watering songs to the people who send the wedding banquet and the new couple. After entering the door, the farewell party will also sing hymns, praise the ancestors of the newlyweds, and then announce the dowry gifts. The bride and groom knelt down to light a lamp and tie a red rope, marking the formal marriage. At the banquet, the bride and the couple toasted the guests with tea to show their thanks. In some places in Zhongdian, there is a final "summer sleep" ceremony at the wedding banquet: the host presents highland barley wine to the guests, accepts the gifts from the guests, then takes off his hat in turn, and humorously jokes and makes fun of each other from the wedding ceremony to make the wedding atmosphere more active. Before the farewell party returns, the wedding official will also sing "exhortation song" to show his love for the couple. That night, Fang Ying's family held a pot dance, which lasted all night or even several days. The song atmosphere of Deqin Tibetan ceremony is more intense, and a whole set of wedding songs runs through it. Song proposed marriage first. The matchmaker offered wine to the woman's (or man's) father and uncle, and sang for the meaning of the Dragon King and the father's and uncle's wishes. Wedding teams and wedding officials are the leaders of singing. In the woman's home, the bride-to-be is invited to wait patiently for the arrival of time with the corresponding lyrics. Newcomers go out to sing horseback riding songs, creating an auspicious atmosphere. Then, in the form of question and answer, the two sides sang songs about the journey and the road. Along the way, they sang songs about forks, about crossing bridges, about water and mountains, and about worshipping God when they met Manidui. The farewell party is very fun, and the wedding reception is also very fun, singing and laughing all the way. In question-and-answer singing, the farewell should try to ask questions, and the welcome should try to answer fluently. If there is no answer, he will politely propose a toast to the farewell, and the farewell sitting on the floor will get up and walk forward, so that the bride can step into her new home at the time decided by divination. At the door of son Mann's house, the wedding guests held a welcoming ceremony, and then there was a song when they entered the door. After entering the door, go upstairs and sing the song of Fanti, sit down and sing the song of the card seat, and sing the song of the seat. The singing set off the atmosphere of the wedding. At the climax of the man's wedding, we should also sing a dream song, send cordial greetings to relatives and friends, give happy wishes and a beautiful symbol of marriage. Before leaving, the farewell sang a song of sustenance, indicating that the bride had been placed in a happy new home, where she was asked to take care of her. In some Tibetan areas of the state, the custom of robbing marriage was once popular. When affectionate men and women can't freely combine or have no financial resources to hold a wedding, one party will gang up to carry the other party's parents and drag the other party home. The so-called "robbery" is actually just a formal title. The man who was robbed volunteered. Later, the robbed owner apologized to the parents of the robbed party, and the parents of the robbed party generally stopped objecting and the marriage was successful.
