What are the weird customs in Vietnam?

As a territory in the south of China, Vietnam has gradually become a tourist destination for more and more people. Generally speaking, when traveling to a place, you must first understand the customs of these places. There are many strange customs in Vietnam, especially in some places in northern Vietnam. Some customs are simply abnormal. Let’s invite everyone to take a look.

Men wear green helmets on their heads. During the long war, Vietnamese men liked to wear this kind of green helmet that could both camouflage and protect from rain. There is no taboo against "cuckolding" among Chinese people. Nowadays, Vietnamese people use it as a helmet when riding motorcycles.

It is customary to marry first, then to marry. The marriage customs of the Gong people in Vietnam are also very special. The most important characteristic of their marriage is that they marry first and then get married. First, the man's parents, brothers, clan chiefs and the groom go to the woman's house to propose marriage. They bring a bag of salt, a bag of tea, a bundle of hemp rope for weaving, and a bottle of wine to the girl's house in the evening. They smoked and drank while discussing their children's marriage. If the woman agrees, first agree on the number of years for the man to marry the woman. In the past, it was 8 to 12 years, but now it is roughly shortened to 3 to 4 years. It was agreed that the groom would bring a quilt, pillow and a knife to his bride's house the next day. The girl's hair style also began to change, and she would put her long hair on top of her head to signify that she was married.

The cheongsam is slit to the waistband. The Vietnamese cheongsam is a traditional clothing for Vietnamese women. It has a top that is slit to the waist, and has slits on both sides to the waist. The bottom is loose trousers, which is convenient for walking and cycling. It seems that Vietnamese women are slim, dignified, elegant and graceful, becoming a beautiful scenery.

Vietnamese people like to wear slippers. Whether it’s raining or sunny, walking or cycling, going to work or going to a banquet, they all like to wear slippers. I don’t have the habit of wearing formal attire on formal occasions. Vietnamese people are taboo about taking a group photo of three people together. You cannot use a match or lighter to light cigarettes for three people in a row. When there are green branches hanging at the entrance of the village, you should turn around and leave. Because it means no entry.
