Different ethnic groups have different characteristics. We are a big family of 56 nationalities in China, and each of them has different customs and habits. Domestic are so many different customs and civilizations, and in foreign countries different customs change more.
The Kazakhs have a very interesting custom called? The girl chasing? This activity is a combination of immediate sports and a variety of recreational activities and a game. It is held at weddings and festivals and has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage of the United Nations. Specifically, the game is played by young men and women of different social backgrounds, who form a team. Two people ride horses to a fixed location. During the process, the men will tease the women and even kiss and hug them.And the lady can't be angry. And after reaching this designated spot, the man has to backtrack faster while the woman chases after him. The whip is waved frequently over the head of the south, and it is even possible, to whip the man with the whip. Again the man is not allowed to get angry, or fight back. The woman is using this as a way to get back at the man for his initial teasing, but of course, most women don't actually crack the whip on the man's body.
Especially if the woman is interested in the man. Most often the whip is swung high and then dropped gently. Of course there are exceptions. If the woman doesn't like the man, and the man's initial teasing is still very excessive, this time the woman's whip will fall hard and strike the man's body. This custom began as a way for the Kazakhs to get rid of arranged marriages or religious marriages and to pursue free love between young men and women. Later, with the change of time, free love was gradually popularized by all. But this kind of activity, which reflected the youth's struggle against arranged marriages during the feudal era, has been preserved as a recreational activity nowadays. This also reflects that in any era, once there is oppression, there will be resistance .
