Customary taboos in Cambodia

The Kingdom of Cambodia (the Kingdom of Cambodia), commonly known as Cambodia, is located in the south-central peninsula, bordering Thailand in the west and north-west, bordering Laos in the north-east, bordering Viet Nam in the east and south-east, and facing Siamese Bay in the south.

The coastline is approximately 460 kilometres long.

Tropical monsoon climate with an average annual temperature of 24°C.

The capital is Phnom Penh.

The Khmers are the main ethnic group in Cambodia, accounting for 80 per cent of the total population, and ethnic minorities are the indigenous, Punon, Lao, Thai, Stin, etc.

Khmer is the common language and the same official language as English and French.

Buddhism is the State religion, more than 95 per cent of the population is Buddhist, the majority is Muslim and a minority of the urban population is Catholic.

Chinese and Chinese are about 600,000.

Since ancient times, Buddhism has profoundly influenced Cambodian culture, and Buddhist monasteries are not only centres of religious activity but also centres of local education and collections, where religion plays an important role in social life.

Moreover, Cambodian men have to be shaved once in their lives, and they can be common at any time, and they can be monks for the rest of their lives.

Shaving as a monk is easier to propose and to get employed, as a reward for the parents and as a means of improving their social status.

Cambodian Buddhism is divided into two factions: the Moine Gaye and the Damoye, each with a Monk and appointed by the King.

Monks and monasteries live well, while ordinary monks spend their days on fasting.

The Cambodian monks must also abide by the Ten Rings.

That is, they will not kill, they will not steal, they will not lewd, they will not lie, they will not drink, they will not eat from time to time, they will not sing, they will not dance, they will not wear fragrances, they will not sit high, they will not save money, silver, and treasure.

Under the influence of religion, Cambodians have adopted the practice of “no lunch and respect for birds and animals”.

They don't kill, they don't eat animal meat.

When visiting Cambodian monks, they are reluctant to bring their shoes into the house, and if they violate this rule they are considered guilty and the Cambodians call them “poaching”.

Cambodians also believe that cows and buffaloes are protected by the gods that protect the animals, and that if they are harmed, they will suffer the consequences of illness.

However, peacock is considered an ominous bird and does not want to see peacock and its pattern.

Cambodian clothing is thin because of its tropical location.

Their national garments are: men wear a straight collar and wear their tops, and when it is hot, they wear not theirs, but "save" or "Moon Park".

"The cage" is sewn on both sides of a cloth of various beautiful patterns on a number of feet, bound between the waist and a dress.

"Moon Park" is a long cloth, unsutured, entangled from the waist down to the calf, then crossed from the crotch, tied to the waist, with the rest stretching out like fish tails.

Women in plain clothes wear silk-collar shirts and wear "slave" or "san Park" under shirts, usually with a nice long towel around their waists.

The Cambodians are very fond of red and blue, which they consider to be a sign of blessing and festivities, and blue of light and freedom; they don't like white, and they think that white is a symbol of death, so people wear white pants and veils.

They have an old and wonderful dressas usual, they like to express their days in the colours of the colours.

monday likes yellow, tuesday likes purple, wednesday likes green, thursday with gray or light blue, friday red, saturday with black and sunday red.

the above-mentioned pattern of dress is particularly prevalent in religious activities and is therefore referred to as “seven coloured weeks”.

in cambodia, their names are usually the first and the last.

the names of nobles and civilians are also different: nobles usually take the stepfather ' s name and civilians usually take the father ' s name; nobles are well-known and often far-fetched, and the names of civilians are mostly randomly called with little meaning.

cambodians usually do not call their last names, but only their first names and add a verse to the name to distinguish between sex, youth and inferiority.

for example, “calling” meant a grandson; “a” meant a child; “da” meant a grandfather; “ning” meant a girl; “rock” meant a gentleman.

cambodians are also very courteous and very polite in their speech, and when they meet, they must pay a high price to their hands (“the ceremonial gift” is traditional in cambodia).

seniors meet, hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand, and greet each other with kindness and friendship; seniors meet their elders, with their hands up to their chins, and show their respect; people meet high monks, raise their heads up to their eyes, paying tribute; low-ranking people see high-ranking officials, kneel down and then raise their heads high and pay high esteem; they meet guests, bow down and close their hands to their chests, and greet them warmly.

they also have a special folk tradition and a “kidnapping gift”.

it is said that this courtesy is an act of high esteem for the guests of cambodia.

cambodians, under outside influence, also started a handshake, but men and women continue to live with it.

it is customary for people in rural areas to observe only the ten rituals, and in urban areas there are handshakes in addition to the main one.
