彝: Mysterious dress change ceremony

the bar mitzvah, every country has its own customs! in my country's small and medium-sized minority, the zan ethnic group, their bar mitzvahs are called “changes of skirts” and zolalo, which means that young girls will take off their dress of childhood and wear adult dresses.

the young girl was wearing a red and white dress in the “salalo” range, with a single braid and an ear piercing.

at the end of the ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial period, you will wear an interrupted tri-trucked skirt, with a single braid changed to a double-brand, with a embroidered plaque and a concussion, which means that you have reached majority.

after a “skirt change” ceremony at

, young girls are free to go shopping, rush, watch horses, play friends and fall in love.

the period of “skirt change” is based on the development of young girls, usually between the ages of 15 and 17 years and single-years.

because, in the view of the local population, a two-year-old “changed dress” would be difficult and unlucky for life.

as for the specific date of the “change of skirt”, the elderly must be asked to make a good choice before a good date can be set.

because `redressing' is a symbol of a woman's childhood to adulthood, it is important to be a parent.

in particular, the mother, who is a close friend of her daughter and who is most aware of her physical condition, has been eager to prepare for her daughter, close to the change of dress, a bouquet of her head, a new dress, and clothing of various colours, such as beads and silver medals.

on the day of the change of skirt, the home is as happy as the festival, the rich are going to kill pigs and sheep, and the poor are going to at least kill the wine and entertain their neighbours.

early in the morning, guests of both sexes came to the house to present their congratulations.

in accordance with local custom, no man is allowed to be present during the “redressing” ceremony and only a girlfriend is invited to attend.

the “redressing” rituals vary from region to region.

in some cases, an adult woman is asked to sit under a fruit tree and beat a pig, so that when the pig dies, the dead pig is turned on the head of a young girl who has changed her skirts, thus exorcising evil.

the girl was then put on the ears, combed into two arguments and replaced with a new dress.

in some cases, it is assumed that a woman will be a husband, such as a tree or a grinder, then dress her up as a fancy “false bride”, with an adult woman carrying her back and walking three laps around the hypothesis, i.e.

marriage.

in the course of the ceremony

there are places where women are the only ones who say funny words and wishes about young girls, and places where they have been singing and laughing.

first, the girl at the top teases, interrogates, asks who she likes.

do you like people who are lazy or hardworking and brave? do you like people who are honest and loyal, or do you like people who gamble? in the face of interrogations and pranks, “skirmishes” girls usually do not answer, but sit low and shy, and are routinely questioned.

all the interrogations were answered by a girl sitting next to her.

in the end, the first girl always sings a single song: "you have to wear a silver medal, you have to wear a bead chain, you have to have friends and friends, you have to find someone who knows you can choose." after the song is finished, a beautiful, capable, good-looking woman brushes the hair of the "skirt changer" and takes the harper: combs the one that was in the back of the headface it, right in the middle, brush it behind your ears and wear it again.

and the sea of liu was washed and polished with a little water, so that it shined and shined, so as to show the young girls the beginning and the beauty of their love.

"p" wears radiant bells, which shines, and which are more radiant and beautiful.

in the end, the blue, black, and so on are three-trailed skirts, moving around, walking gently, zenan, full of the beauty of youth and the vitality of life.

this is the best moment for a woman or girl to be present in a good memory or a desire for happiness, so as to reach the climax of the salaro.

at the end of the

salaro ceremony, men will be able to attend the feast.

sitting down, eating meat, meat and noodles, and drinking and drinking.

"the change of skirt" means that a young girl is an adult and is free to find a lover and fall in love.

in the case of sexual relations, customary law generally does not sanction them as long as they do not violate the hierarchy or the blood relatives.

if the woman is pregnant, the man can apologize or marry.

on the contrary, if, before changing a dress, young girls were to be strictly protected from flirting, adultery and illegal cohabitation, such incidents would be severely punished under customary law.
