The country's most "girly" ethnic minorities, why do they carry flowers on their heads, more delicate than girls?

China is a multi-ethnic country, in addition to the Han Chinese, there are 55 ethnic minorities. How do people affect the ethnic minorities? In psychology, there is a concept ? stereotype? To use an analogy, you think that so-and-so is a bad person, and no matter how much good the other person has done, you will think that he is up to no good and is playing the long game. For a variety of reasons, some people think that the customs of ethnic minorities are odd. Let's say that people from ethnic minorities who carry flowers on their heads are ? Niang? But in fact, each ethnic group has different historical origins, and carrying flowers cannot be called ? Niang? In the country, Achang males will bring flowers to their heads, why?

Firstly, there is a great significance to bring flowers to the head. Generally, to show their welcome to guests, women of ethnic minorities will dance. However, the Achang do not have women dancing, but men. The male who is responsible for the dance will wear the characteristic clothes and a hat on his head, and put the flower in the middle of the hat, which is in the color of fan. Compared to the beautiful dance of women, the male dance, which has a masculine flavor, is a different kind of fun.

The second, to the head with flowers, has evolved into a custom. Many years ago, Achang men would wear flowers on their heads. Today, the method of welcoming guests has changed, but the custom of carrying flowers on the head has been passed down to this day. For the Achang people, flowers are colorful and pretty, and putting them on the head is a sign of respect for the guests.

Thirdly, bringing flowers to the head does not mean that they are more delicate than girls. In most people's eyes, only girls put flowers on their heads, or weave a garland of flowers and put them on their heads. If there is a man with flowers on his head, people around him will look at it with colored eyes. For example, in this country, many people will think that men who wear makeup, are more effeminate and not manly. But in fact, carrying flowers on the head does not mean anything, it only shows that the person has a hobby of carrying flowers on the head. Bringing flowers is a fact, bringing flowers is very girly is an evaluation, evaluation has a strong personal preference. Don't confuse fact with evaluation.
