Shoes For Life, White Girl'S Straw Sandals Love

Every the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar is the time for the Bai youth to live at the edge of the sword Lake.

At this time of year, girls and young men will row boats into the heart of the lake at dusk. Each ship is separated by more than 20 meters, and everyone is singing loudly at the bow, looking for the tune of the beloved.

At a certain time, the young man will light the beforehand candles and put them on the lake and let them drift in the wind.

The lantern floats to the girl's bow. If the girl lights the lamp, it means that the girl does not want to accept the chap's pursuit.

If the girl happily catches the candle lamp, the young man can close his boat and the girl's boat and hop on the girl's boat and sing with her.

Then the two can develop further by singing, singing and answering.

In Lanping, Bi Jiang and other places in Yunnan, the Bai ethnic group, the Lama people, began to talk about love from sixteen to seven years old.

If the horse man takes a fancy to a girl, he will go all out to explore the mountain road that the girl often walks.

When the girl came out, the young man hid at the fork of the road, picked up a branch, placed it in the middle of the fork road, and headed towards the direction he wanted to go.

As the girl approached, the young man walked forward, observing the girl's movements from time to time.

When the girl saw the branch at the fork and the young man in front, if she walked in the direction of the branch, she agreed with the young man's proposal.

If she does not walk in the direction of the branch, she will not accept the young man.

The young man looked at him in front of him, and his attitude towards the girl was clear at the same time.

This is ordinary and simple.

If the horse man has any object, just look at their shoes. If they wear four nose straw sandals on their feet, it means that the young man is interested in Chinese.

These four straw sandals are for girls.

The girl learned to play straw sandals at an early age. Generally speaking, she gave her brothers and sisters and relatives and friends two nose straw sandals. Only those who gave their lovers were four nose straw sandals.

In Dali, the Bai nationality must send six wedding plans, such as 16, 106, 266, etc., it is said that the Bai nationality is the descendant of six imperial edicts (six tribes in the Dali area of Tang Dynasty). The ancestors gave six gifts to the Datang every year, and six gifts from the Tang Dynasty.

Living in the east of Erhai.

There are many old customs in the wedding.

On the wedding day, the bridegroom took the bride to the bride's house. When the bride came to the door of the bride's house, the groom would pick out three wax balls and smash them to the stone piers on the doorstep one after another, and make three huge guns.

So this is their homemade soil bomb.

The smoke of the bomb was not scattered. The young man carried a large tea tray containing cigarettes, wine, tea and sugar. He bowed to the guest and welcomed the guests in.

When the bride and groom pick up the bride and return to their home, when they enter the house, the bride and groom rush to go to the bridal chamber to see who will first grab the pillow in the bridal chamber, indicating who will be the master of the family in the future.

"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 custom of the Lama people, that is, the girl gave her love to the young man, a pair of four nose grass, in order to express his loyalty to love.

In the past, the basic dress of the lamas was linen and underwear.

Young people do not have the right to domination at home. If they want to buy something, they must go through their parents. But traditional marriages are all arranged by their parents. Young people's free interaction and love often hide their elders, so it is very difficult for the 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.
