Because the customs and cultural spirit of Miao nationality are different from other nationalities, the living habits and language behaviors of Miao women are also different from other nationalities, and Miao women have many regulations and taboos.
Miao women can't shake hands with others. Perhaps in our central plains concept, shaking hands is just a basic etiquette, which is harmless, but both older and younger Miao women are more taboo to shake hands with others, because shaking hands with them will be considered as disrespect to them.
Miao and Han people can get married, but it should be considered clearly, because the customs of Miao and Han people are different.
Relevant customs and habits of Miao nationality
Before the founding of New China, Miao Drum Society was a group of people united by a male ancestor. Drum clubs are generally composed of one or several natural villages of the same clan, ranging from dozens and hundreds to hundreds or even thousands. A society * * * sets drums to worship ancestors, has the same religious festivals, the same regional concepts, the same customs and habits, wears the same clothes and speaks the same dialect.
A clan is a drum club called "Black Club" with many branches. Miao people call it Brother Drum Club, also known as "White Club". The "black society" generally has leaders such as Guo Lulue (drum head), (song head), (table head), Guo (ritual head), (martial head), (living head), (guard head), (guard head), Ding Gang (guard captain) and Jia Yangye (grain head).
The highest authority of the drum club is the general meeting of all members, that is, the drum club festival in 13. At that time, men, women and children will participate. On the Drum Club Festival, a grand ancestor worship activity will be held to worship Yang Gong and Yang Po, and new drum heads will be elected, and major issues such as the articles of association of the Drum Club will be discussed and decided. Drum club has the basic functions of organizing the development of production, adjusting marriage relations, promoting population growth and adjusting internal and external relations, and has the function of "military weapon", which is responsible for maintaining clan honor and revenge.
Miao drum club is a closely integrated blood group, and the blood system, ancestor worship, regional concept and mutual help spirit embodied in people's production and life are its important pillars, which strongly support the organizational concept of drum club. Therefore, the drum club is a remnant of the clan system. In modern times, the drum club organizations only remained in the southeastern Guizhou where the central dialect was spoken, and other areas have disappeared or mostly disappeared.
