Dai
①packet loss
I have only seen the episode of "Throwing a Hydrangea to Choose a Husband" on TV. Isn't it rare to "lose a bag"? In the Dai nationality, this is one of the ways for young men and women to choose a partner and express their love. The flower bag is used as a matchmaker, throwing the bag to express love, it is very romantic to think about it!
Seeing the flower bag being thrown, the fighting power of the lads in grabbing the flower bag is impressive! After catching the flower bag, they will throw it at the girl again. The two sides throw flower bags back and forth to each other.
Occasionally, he will play some "small tricks" to deliberately miss the flower bag, so that he can give the girl a gift openly and take the opportunity to express his love. Hey friends, this little trick can't escape my eyes!
After a few rounds, the young men and women who saw each other will both leave the bag throwing venue and go to other places to talk about love.
② string girl
"Chun girl", of course, is to go to the girl's house~ Why are you so shy at this time!
When the sky is getting dark, I put on a blanket, invite my friends, and come downstairs to the girl's house. At this time, I can't give up in front of the girl I like! Those who know how to be talented, play the piano and play the flute all over again, trying to get the girl's attention.
If the two parties are in the same mood, the blanket will come in handy, wrap the two together, and quickly find a place where no one is there to whisper.
③Blanket wrap
If you see someone on the side of the road wrapping his head and body in a blanket, with only two eyes exposed, don't be afraid! In Dehong, Yunnan, this is a peculiar courtship method of young Dai people.
On the side of the road, if you meet a girl in a light-colored coat, short shirt and trousers, and a small apron, you can go up and strike up a conversation. This is a sign of unmarried Dai girls. Isn't it interesting that the girl's hand leaves?
④ Make local calls
Take two small bamboo tubes, tap a small hole in the middle, and put on a few feet of cotton thread... Does it feel familiar? Isn't this the "calling" game I used to play when I was a kid? I miss it so much!
In the Dai nationality, this is a game used by young men and women to express their love~ "Diaphone" means that a young man likes a girl, but he dare not say it in person, he can tell her through this small bamboo tube. It would be even better if he sang a love song. When the girl is happy, she might sing a duet with you!
De'ang
The De'ang people call them "ancient tea farmers", and the love and marriage of young men and women are also inseparable from tea.
They mostly choose their favorites during the tea-picking season. When the young man sees the girl he likes, he will slowly approach her, singing beautiful tea-picking folk songs, and helping her pick tea to win his favor.
The two can get along well, and the young man will ask someone to send a small bag of tea to the girl. Once he accepts it, he can boldly visit the girl's house!
Lisu
① antiphonal song
The Lisu people love singing very much. There is a saying that "you can't eat salt if you don't eat it; you can't sing if you don't sing songs".
If there is a guy who happens to have a good voice, you will be the C in the crowd~ Girls can’t resist your charm, okay? Capture the hearts of thousands of girls in minutes!
② "Laisu" Teaser
Lisu young men and women also use "Laisu" as a love letter to express their love for each other.
"Laisu" refers to wrapping two small pieces of thatch with the same length, one garlic, one betel nut, grass tobacco and coriander in white paper or banana leaves, wrap them face to face, and tie them with red strings. Well, even if it's done.
This is the oldest love letter of the Lisu people, and the meanings of the small items in it are also different. Among them, the betel nut and the grass tobacco represent: "I like you very much, and I want to hold you in my mouth." It's so interesting to think about it!
③Jiangsha buried lover
report! Someone ahead is besieged by everyone, please help!
Don't get me wrong, in the Lisu people, carrying people to a sandpit and burying them is not a punishment game! "Burying Lovers in Jiangsha" is one of the oldest ways for Lisu men and women to court.
The young man saw someone right, so he asked his friend to help, buried both of them with fine sand, and even pretended to be very sad, and only stopped after making trouble.
Interestingly, when encountering this situation, the normally restrained girl will turn violent in a second, and even pulling and pushing will push the young man into the sandpit, no matter how much he resists, he will be helpless.
Achang
Giving a girl a gift, have you ever heard of giving a cigarette box to express friendship? When a young man of the Achang nationality takes a fancy to a certain girl, he will ask the other party to accept his cigarette case by handing over cigarettes. If the girl accepts the cigarette case, it means that she is interested in you~
After a while, the girl will give the boy a gift in return. If the colored thread that binds the package is tied with a loose button, it means that she is willing to continue dating. Otherwise, she refuses and guesses the answer by looking at the colored thread. This is the first time for me to do this strange way. Know!
Jingpo
Did you know that eating food rumors is a way for Jingpo youths to express their love.
When a boy likes a girl, he will wrap the food with leaves, roots, garlic, matches, peppers, etc. and send it. If the girl is interested, she will return the food.
There are not many things, but there are many friendships. I have been sweetened by the meaning behind these foods~
Leaves - express a lot of words
Tree roots - expressing longing
Garlic - means marriage proposal
Matches - express firmness
Pepper - means hot
In addition, the Jingpo people also use leaves as love letters. For example, a leaf called "Pushie" means: "No matter where you hide, I will pull you out to play."
What's the story of this hilarious classic line of the domineering president? I was actually conquered by a leaf!
Young men and women of the Jingpo nationality are very free to fall in love, and there is a special place for them to talk about love! These are called "public houses". It is said that some of them were built by several elders in the village with huge sums of money. It can be seen that parents really worry about their children's love!
If there is someone he likes, the boy will ask the girl to go to the "public house" to chat and sing, and the relationship will heat up all of a sudden!
I only know that ethnic minorities have their own characteristics in terms of costumes and festivals, but I didn't expect their love customs to be so different, right? There is more than one side to the charm of ethnic minorities~ If you have the opportunity, you must go to Dehong, Yunnan to experience it yourself!
