"The world is so big, I want to see it", the internet buzzword says so many people. Maybe many people want to go for a walk and see the big world. However, when we grow up, many things are involuntary. Without a wealthy family, if we want to travel around the world, I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything. In fact, you don’t have to travel abroad. There may be scenery and interesting things you haven’t heard of before. Everyone knows that China has a vast territory and rich resources, and there are fifty ethnic groups, but few people know that there is still a minority ethnic group in China.
Does marriage sound a bit different? Speaking of the traditional marriage cigarette system, what do you think of first? Perhaps many people's cognition is "parental order, matchmaker's words, polygamy". In fact, among the 56 ethnic groups in China, not all ethnic groups have the same marriage customs. For example, the legal marriage age of the Hui is different from that of the Han. Hui men are over 20 years old and women can get married when they reach 18. However, what is most surprising is the unique way of marriage of the ethnic minority "Mosuo" in Yunnan.
The Mosuo people are a minority ethnic group with a rare matrilineal social system in China. They are mainly distributed in Yongning Bazi on the bank of Lugu Lake in Lijiang City on the border of Yunnan and Sichuan. The population is about 40,000 to 50,000. They have their own native language. Called "Mosuo language", it is a pity that there is no unique language of the family, that is to say, there is only Mosuo language.
The most typical feature of the Mosuo walking marriage system is that "men do not marry, women do not marry, and they rely on "climbing the window" to pass on the lineage." This kind of marriage system originated in matrilineal clan society. At that time, men and women were based on "feelings" and married together at night and morning.
Although thousands of years have passed, many places have long been replaced by traditional and modern marriage customs, but it does not mean that this walking marriage culture has become the past tense. Not only the Mosuo people in Lugu Lake have this kind of marriage custom, but also the Zaba people in the Laxianshui River Canyon in Shangri-La.
The Mosuo people are a rare "matriarchal society" system in our country. It can be said that the status of women here is relatively high. It is women who have the final say both at home and abroad, that is to say, women are in charge. Therefore, the offspring who reproduced by marriage are almost all raised by the wife. At the full moon, the child’s biological father will hold a public banquet to announce the blood relationship. The unique "walking marriage" here is called "Se Se" in Mosuo. Se Se is translated into Chinese, which means "walking around". This kind of marriage system of
may not be guaranteed in the eyes of many people. However, in Mosuo, the married life of "night and morning departure" is their traditional virtue. This kind of marriage system has both advantages and disadvantages. It is like a couple living together at night, going back to each house and looking for each mother during the day, and men and women rarely get along alone. The custom of
may be a bondage for some people. Imagine if you don’t see each other during the day, and the couple go on a trip, wouldn’t it be that they would play differently during the day, without any intersection, how can they communicate their feelings? Mosuo is a relatively backward ethnic group. During the daytime, most of the Mosuo people are cultivating their own three-acre land, and they don’t need much communication with each other. If you really want to be together all the time, you can live together. .
Marriage mainly pays attention to each other's eyes. If a man has a woman he likes, he can confess it during the party. If the woman is also interested, then make an appointment with each other. When it’s midnight, you can go to the woman’s flower house and climb the window. Enter and leave the next morning.
There are two forms of walking marriage among Mosuo people, one is "Azhu" settlement marriage and the other is "Axia" alien marriage. Azhu means a boyfriend and girlfriend. Both men and women call each other Azhu. It is a matrilineal cohabitation method. Men and women can move out and live together or the man moves to the woman’s house. Half of the general term. Axia’s alien marriage is a walking marriage. In the evening, the man goes to the woman’s house for a tryst, and then leaves the next day. These two forms of marriage only need a small ceremony in Mosuo. This ritual of
is like a typical Han marriage. The Mosuo ritual is called "Zangba La", which translates into Chinese to mean sacrifice and worship. This kind of ceremony is held in the middle of the night. When a man and a woman have feelings for each other, the man invites a marriage candidate to bring a gift to the woman's house to hold the ceremony. Although the Mosuo people are free to fall in love, they also need to obtain mutual parental consent.
z47When z
is holding a ceremony, it is necessary to wear traditional "Mosuo" costumes to hold the ceremony. After saluting the elders and receiving the blessings of the woman's family, the woman will give the man a flower belt sewn by herself. In this way, the ceremony It's basically over. Can you accept this way of marriage of the Mosuo people?
