marriage customs

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each ethnic group has its own customs and etiquette, such as Nadam, Yi and Bai of Mongolian nationality.

The torch festivals of Naxi and Hani nationalities are colorful and exciting. But what I like best is Tibetan etiquette. Tibetans are mostly distributed in Tibet, and the rest are distributed in Qinghai, Yunnan, Sichuan and Gansu. Their national customs are diverse and their manners are very grand. Offering Hada is the most common and grand etiquette for Tibetans to their guests. Every household will present Hada on a festive day. Hada sewn with white silk is beautiful and pure, just like a fairy in the heavenly palace. Offering Hada is very solemn. Tibetans should wear long and big robes, high hats and boots. The longer and wider Hada is, the heavier the etiquette is. There are different ways to present Hada to all kinds of people, holding Hada above your head to show respect for your elders; For peers, just hang Hada on each other's wrists; For the next generation, hang Hada around each other's necks. Those who accept Hada should do the same actions as those who offer Hada, expressing their gratitude. People in Xizang's manners are amazing. When greeting, they nod their heads and stick out their tongues to express cordial greetings, and the recipient should also nod and smile. If a guest comes to visit, the host will wait outside the account to meet him. If you meet an elder or an acquaintance, take off your hat and bow 45. Tibetans are also very interesting. If there are guests, the host should propose three glasses of highland barley wine, regardless of whether the guests can drink it or not. If the guest doesn't drink, the host will dance to persuade him to drink, but the guest has to drink. "A hundred miles of different winds, a thousand miles of different customs", 56 ethnic groups have their own folk customs and etiquette, all of which are wonderful, which opens our eyes. Although the number of Tibetans is not the largest, they still live a lively life. My uncle who came back from Tibet told me some strange Tibetan folk customs. My uncle said that as soon as I got there, I met my former classmates, so my classmates took him home. Let him look at the contents of the two jars and guess how many years they have been hidden. The answer later was more than ten years. Uncle was surprised and I was shocked. More interesting is buttered tea. Butter is made by pouring cow's milk and goat's milk into wooden barrels and stirring them quickly with hazelnuts to separate oil from milk. Butter is regarded as sacred among Tibetans. Originally used to worship Buddha, it is now cooked with milk, brick tea and so on. It tastes rich and wonderful. The cooking method of butter tea is different from that of another company, but they are all equally rich. This smell is reminiscent of warm sunshine. It is very comfortable to sit on the Tibetan hot kang and drink one mouthful of butter tea after another. There is always a pot of butter tea in the Tibetan room, which is prepared for every guest who comes from afar. My uncle later told me that there is actually another folk custom in Tibet, and that is Hada. Tibetans are a very polite people. They will present white Hada to the guests from afar, which will make them eat chicken legs, because it is a symbol of making them full. Tibetans are a nation that loves beauty. Men, women and children all wear colorful clothes. Tibetan women are more beautiful, wearing gorgeous clothes on their heads and bodies. Tibet is really a magical land, because it has hardworking and capable Tibetan people. 3. Tibetan traditional costumes The most basic features of Tibetan traditional costumes are fat waist, long sleeves, big skirts, long skirts, boots, braided hair and exaggerated gold, silver, pearls and jade ornaments. Thick insulation, wide and warm waist and long-sleeved clothes naturally adapt to the specific environment and climate where Tibetans live. For example, there is a prominent gap (shaped like a bag) on the chest of herdsmen's robes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so as to store Ciba, tea and rice bowls when going out. When it is hot or working, they can show their right arm or arm as needed, tie their sleeves around their waist to adjust their body temperature, and put them on when necessary; Sleeping at night, unbuttoning your belt, taking off your double sleeves and covering them half-way, becomes a warm sleeping bag, which can be described as a multi-purpose garment. Tibetan hats are called "summer hats" in Tibetan, and there are many kinds. People in Dongchang, Tibet like fur hats. Most Tibetan fur hats are made of whole fox hair, giving people a rough and unrestrained feeling. "Gold Sizing" is a kind of hat made of fur, gold satin, silver satin and gold ribbon, which is popular in Lhasa, Shigatse and other places and shines in the sun. It is deeply loved by men, women and children. The traditional Tibetan decoration is a wide robe made of hand-spun wool. And robes sewn with pure cloth. Most of the shapes are large collars or round necks, which are open to the right, with or without buttons, and the hem or neckline is inlaid with colored cloth or leopard skin. Cowhide clothing In Cuona, Tibet, women's clothing is very unique. No matter young or old, there is a complete calf leather on the back. The fur is inward and the leather board is outward. The calf only needs to have its head up, its tail down and its limbs extended to both sides. In this area, women are the main force in animal husbandry production. Their costumes reflect the primitive totem worship. In addition, the back is cowhide, and the rice on the back frame can avoid wearing clothes, and at the same time, it can keep warm and moisture-proof. Tibetan shoes can be roughly divided into three types, namely "Songba shoes", "Galo shoes" and "Dozza shoes". Generally, the main raw materials are Lu, woolen cloth, velveteen and leather, and the color matching is very particular. Some use silk thread to embroider various patterns, while others are decorated with gold satin and decals. The toes of shoes are square and round, pointed and hooked, and have different shapes. It's just that all kinds of Tibetan shoes have a flap with a length of 10 cm at the back of the waist, which is convenient to put on and take off. Wear Tibetan shoes with laces. Shoelaces are very delicate, woven with fine plush, with all kinds of beautiful patterns, and colorful spikes at both ends, which are gorgeous and incomparable, and are pleasing to the eye with Tibetan shoes. Tibetan women in Bangdian wear colored aprons around their waists. Bangdian weavers are exquisite and colorful, which has a profound impact on people. The process of making the adhesive pad is complicated: generally, the thread is spun by hand, then dyed, brushed, woven into strips, and finally sewn into skirts. Tibetan Meeting Ceremony Tibetans pay great attention to etiquette. In daily life, they bow to their elders and peers in different ways. When you meet an elder or a respected person, you should take off your hat, bend over 45 degrees, hold your hat in your hand and get close to the ground. When you meet your peers, all you have to do is lower your head and put your hat on your chest. At this time, bowing is just a courtesy. In some areas, crossing hands and bowing are used at the same time. Cross your hands above your head as a sign of respect. This kind of gift is mostly used to meet old people or respected people. Offering Hada is the highest etiquette for Tibetan guests, expressing warm welcome and sincere respect to the guests. Hada is Tibetan, that is, scarf or silk scarf. Mainly white, but also light blue or light yellow, generally about 1.5 meters to 2 meters long and about 20 centimeters wide. The best is the colorful Hada in blue, yellow, white, green and red. Multicolored hada is used for the highest and most solemn ceremonies, such as Buddhism. Kowtow Tibetans kowtow to Buddha statues, pagodas, living buddhas and old people. Kowtowing is usually done in temples with religious activities. Put your hands together, hold your head high, bow three times from top to forehead to chest arch, then crawl to the ground, mark the ground with your hands straight, and so on. Kowtowing is also performed in temples. Cross your hands and arch three times, then arch your waist to the foot of the Buddha statue and pat your head gently to show your sincere repentance. When paying homage to the elderly, you should kowtow to show your respect and blessing. In Tibetan, "bian" means "dirty", "color" means "clear" and "bian" refers to an activity to remove bad luck. On the third or fourth day of the child's birth, relatives and friends will bring highland barley wine, butter tea, clothes and hats to congratulate the child. When the guests arrive, first present Hada to the mother and baby, then propose a toast to the mother and pour tea. Finally, they looked at the baby and praised the child's good luck and facial features. Then they hold a rake with their thumb and forefinger and put it on the baby's forehead, wishing him good luck and progress. Marriage customs The marriage customs in Tibet are different, but the basic steps are similar. If a young man and a young woman are interested in each other, we must first ask the Lama to be a Buddha to see if their future marriage is auspicious and their family can be happy. If it is "lucky", then the man or woman will ask their relatives or matchmakers to bring Hada and gifts to each other's home to propose marriage. If the other party agrees to this marriage, they will accept Hada and a gift, and immediately present a Hada as a gift. Subsequently, the two sides negotiated the date of the engagement ceremony. At the engagement ceremony, the man or woman presents gifts to the other family, makes an engagement, holds a banquet to celebrate, and finally invites the living Buddha to sign the divination and choose the wedding date. On the wedding day, either the bride marries the man's family or the groom is adopted by the woman's family. Relatives took horses to each other's house to pick up new people, and the greeted party took his dowry and rushed to the other's house to get married. After welcoming the couple, we arranged to sit down on a special mat and began to offer them hada and wine. In the evening, when the couple entered the bridal chamber, their relatives toasted them and sang blessing song. May they grow old together and have good luck. Within half a year after marriage, both husband and wife will go back to each other's house for a few days. At this point, the whole wedding is over. Diqing Tibetans should splash water on the bride and groom when they get married. Legend has it that this is a sacred etiquette, which means that newlyweds respect, love and care for each other, and their feelings are as long as running water and as deep as sea water. When meeting Tibetan taboos and precautions, avoid calling them by their first names, and add honorifics to show respect and kindness. For example, in Lhasa, the word "la" should be added after the name; In Shigatse area, male names are preceded by "Aji" or "Ajue". When visiting a Tibetan family, the host must first respect the guests' highland barley wine. Guests should first dip a little wine into the sky with their ring fingers for three times in a row to show their sacrifice to the sky, the earth and their ancestors, then take a sip, and the host will fill it up in time and drink it three times. He needs a toast when he fills it for the fourth time. Otherwise, the host will be unhappy and think the guest is impolite or look down on him. When the guest enters the room and sits down, the host will pour butter tea to show respect for the guest. Only when the host holds his hands in front of him can the guests take it and drink it. Never serve it yourself. Sit cross-legged when you sit down; When accepting gifts, you should pick them up with both hands; When giving gifts, bow your head and raise your hands above your head; When offering tea and toasting, offer it with both hands and don't put your fingers in the bowl. When drinking tea, guests must wait for the host to bring the tea to them before reaching for it, otherwise it will be considered impolite. Pay attention to eating when you are full, don't chew aloud, don't drink aloud, and don't be picky about food. When entertaining guests with mutton, a piece of meat with a tail at the lower part of the sheep's spine is the most expensive, so it should be given to the most respected guests. Tibetans don't eat donkey meat, horse meat or dog meat. In some places, they also don't eat meat with five claws and flying birds. Due to religious beliefs, there is general opposition to killing wild animals. When you meet religious facilities such as monasteries, manidui and stupas, you must go around from left to right; Don't cross the vessel and brazier; The warp tube and wheel shall not be reversed. Don't let others touch his head. I hope I can help you!
