The most unique tattooed woman in China lives in the mountains. Do you know where it is?

China is a multi-ethnic country. It is only because of the existence of so many nationalities that such a big family has been formed. Different nationalities have their own unique cultural customs, but not every one is worth inheriting. Some unreasonable and harmful customs should be gradually abandoned in modern times, while those customs with unique significance and many cultural colors should be passed down. Among the many nationalities in our country, there is a very small minority called? Dulong? .

Dulong is a little-known minority, and now there are very few people, about 5000 people. They are composed of about a dozen different clans, and each clan has different branches. Dulong people now live in Gongshan Dulong Nu Autonomous County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Most Dulong people live in the isolated Dulong River Canyon area, where the traffic is very blocked at present. Moreover, it is almost isolated from the outside world every June 165438+ 10. Because of the heavy snow, more than ten meters of snow keep all the houses out of the snow-capped mountains.

Dulong people have a very unique custom of tattooing some patterns on women's faces. Generally, animals such as butterflies and birds are tattooed. The most common tattoo graphic is butterfly. These tattooed women are called. Tattoo girl? This custom is cruel to local women, so now it has been lost. There are only 36 tattooed women left, and as time goes on, there will be fewer and fewer tattooed women. Tattooed women usually get tattoos at the age of 12 and 13. The origin of this tattoo custom has not been verified, and the meaning of tattooed women also has different meanings in the local area.

Some clans think it is to avoid being robbed of slaves, while others say it is to distinguish between men and women. Some people say that tattooing is an extremely painful thing to take away things before death, while others say that tattooing is to look good. As we all know, there are many nerves on people's faces, and tattoos are dyed with dyes made of Betula alnoides, which will last for life.

Now the local people don't have this custom of tattooing, and the local tour guides are also very quick. In the future, when they introduce tattooed women to tourists, they will use stickers instead, which is also a good idea. Moreover, Dulong people do not have surnames. Locals usually use the place name where their home is located, plus their father's name, nickname and ranking.

The most unique tattooed woman in China lives in the mountains, and there are only 36 people left. Tradition has been lost. Dulong people have the opportunity to visit it, but the weather in Nujiang Gorge is changeable and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Please keep warm.
