Customs and customs of the Isle of Man

The Isle of Man is also known as the Isle of Men. Legend has it that the first people to develop desert islands were men. They first lived on the Nordic continent and could only go home to have a happy reunion with their wives, children, and children once a year and a half. It was not until the island was almost fully cultivated that he brought his wife and children to live together on the island. The name "Men's Island" records the hardships of men, so that future generations of women will never forget the hard work of their male ancestors on this land. The Isle of Man's history dates back 10,000 years. The island was originally inhabited by descendants of Celts and Normans. The Isle of Man was nominally under the sovereignty of Norway until 1266, and it was finally under the direct jurisdiction of the royal government in 1765.

The Isle of Man is an internally autonomous British Crown dependency with independent judicial, legislative and administrative systems. It has its own flag, national anthem and national emblem. The courts have the final power to elect the president, government and parliament and other matters. It is all conducted independently by the Isle of Man, and the British government is only responsible for its foreign and defense affairs. The flag of the Isle of Man consists of three running legs on a red background.

The Isle of Man has a long history of self-government and has had its own parliament since the 10th century AD. The Isle of Man's Parliament is the oldest parliament in the world, originating in AD 979. The Isle of Man Parliament is responsible for the island's legislative work and oversees various administrative, financial and social policies on the island. July 5th is Parliament Day on the Isle of Man. Members of Parliament and government officials will gather on the four-story hill in the center of St. John's Village to announce the new laws passed that year. This day is therefore also the "National Day" of the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man has an independent currency and language. The currency of the Isle of Man is based on the pound sterling, a banknote with three running legs printed on the back, and is worth the same amount as the pound sterling.

There are tailless cats in various forms on the coin, including gold, silver, color and other types. Its novel design has attracted tens of millions of people. Welcome to collectors of precious metal commemorative coins. English is the common language on the Isle of Man. The island's national language, Manx, began to die out in the 1930s. Through timely training measures, 200-300 people have learned Manx.

The island has a mild climate, warm winters and cool summers, rich natural history, simple folk customs, beautiful scenery, and has more than ten important historical and cultural sites.

The Isle of Man has a coastline of 160 kilometers and a population of only 65,000. Although it is located between the three British islands, it is a "country within a country" with a unique style. Its capital is Douglas. Douglas's alluring sight is the "Railway Carriage." The big horse is over 2 meters tall. They pull tourists running forward at a speed no less than that of ordinary trams. There is a "Bride Village" not far from Douglas. There is a "Bride School" in the center of the village and a "Bride Bridge" in front of the "Bride School". Some people speculate that there must have been more women than men in the past on the Isle of Man, and this village was mostly populated by girls waiting to be married, and many men came to this village to marry brides. Otherwise, how could it be named "Bride Village"?

People of more than ten different ethnic groups live harmoniously on the island. They are all peace-loving people and despise those who bully the weak. In addition, they are most taboo about saying the word "rat". Because in ancient times, rats often got into and dug holes in wooden boats used for fishing, causing many tragedies in which the boats were destroyed and people died. Although today's wooden boats have been changed to iron boats with the advancement of science, the habit of hating rats has been passed down from generation to generation. The islanders replaced the word "rat" with "that bad thing that cats like to eat".

The Isle of Man has a beautiful natural environment and a well-ordered society. People lead a harmonious life of "not picking up lost things on the road and never closing their doors at night". The islanders welcome tourists to visit and people with skills and culture to start businesses on the island. As long as you don't think the islanders are weak, as long as you treat others equally and regard the islanders as friends.
