What should you pay attention to when traveling to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang?

What we all must know is that there are many rules and taboos in Miao Village, so the following are the things we need to pay attention to.

1. The custom of the Miao village is to entertain guests with wine. As soon as we enter the village gate, we will encounter wine barrage. The most solemn wine barrage has more than 12 courses! If you are not a "drinker", then you must remember that when drinking horn wine, do not use your hands to catch it, but just stretch your neck and take a sip.

Because as long as you catch it with your hand, it means drinking the entire horn of wine in one gulp. Moreover, the Miao family generally believe that the more wine you drink, the more respect you will give to your master. Therefore, when you arrive at the Miao village, if your alcohol capacity is limited, you can inform the owner in advance!

2. Taboo on dog beating: Miao family We really love dogs, so we must not hit dogs when we are guests in Miao Village. Although local dogs are commonly raised in the local area, and they are smaller in size, they usually just roar at you, so you don’t have to worry about being attacked.

3. Taboo on walking: Remember during the trip, when we meet newlyweds on the road, we must not walk through the middle, let alone the heads of Miao children, because the Miao family thinks that their children will grow older. Not high.

4. Taboo on leaving: When we leave the Miao village, we must politely say "Wow Zhou" to the owner there. This is the Miao language's meaning of "thank you" and is a thank you. The hospitality extended to us by our hosts.

5. Taboos during the Miao Year: During the Miao Year, the Miao family is most taboo about sweeping the floor and pouring water. At the same time, they are not allowed to take a bath in the soup or blow air while eating. If the taboo is violated, in the eyes of the Miao people, it means that in the new year, the mountains and rivers will wash away the fields, and the mountain wind will blow down the crops.

6. Eating taboos: The Miao people are very particular about eating. When they eat chicken, chicken liver and chicken offal are used to honor the elderly women, while chicken legs are for children, and customers can eat chicken heads.

These must be remembered.
