Unique Token: Four Nose Straw Sandals.

"Mom and dad gave birth to me, I was poor. I had no money to send love to my brother. Love brother didn't want to be ugly. He sent you four hearts."

This is a folk song circulated in the Lama people, singing a kind of custom of the Lama people, that is, the girl gave her love to the young man, a pair of four nose straw sandals, in order to express his loyalty to love.

In the past, Rama people wore basic linen underwear and straw sandals.

Young people do not have the right to domination at home. If they want to buy something, they must be approved by their parents.

However, traditional marriages are all arranged by parents. Young people's free interaction and love often hide their elders. This is very difficult for girls to send gifts to each other.

But, as the saying goes, "love makes people smarter", the Rama girls make full use of their skills to create a unique love token.

When she was young, she learned to do needlework and learn to play straw sandals. When she was 14th Five-Year years old, she could play sandals for her brothers and sisters, relatives and friends.

There are two small rings on the front of this straw sandal, which are tied on the feet by the rope, like two noses.

The old man said two noses meant two feet, and the string of the back ears of the straw shoes meant one body, so the straw shoes also appeared human form.

Lamama is inspired by this analogy. They add two noses on their sandals, and the symbol of their feet becomes four feet. And four shoes and noses are linked together, and they also have the meaning of four feet connected with one heart.

Among them, two men and women agree with each other, and the meaning of mutual affinity is self-evident.

So every time a girl finds a lover, she starts to play this unique four nose straw sandals for a loving young man.

The young man wore four nose straw sandals and was filled with happiness and pride. He cherished the beloved girl as if he were cherishing life.

Today, Rama youth's love and marriage are more free. They do not need to hide away from their parents in the past.

But the girl's habit of giving four nose straw sandals to her husband remained so that if a girl could not play straw sandals, the young man would not see her, and her parents would scold her for nothing.

In Rama people, everyone knows this: "if you want to know if a eighteen year old boy has any object, he can see that his feet are not wearing a pair of four nose straw sandals.

If you want to know if a eighteen year old girl has a boyfriend, just look at whether there are four pairs of straw sandals hidden around her pillow.
