Iraq customs and taboos

In comparison, although the vast majority of Iraq people are Muslims, in terms of clothing, they have many characteristics. The most obvious ones are that they are more enlightened and liberated. For example, fewer and fewer women wear veils, and more and more men wear suits. In particular, the capital Baghdad and its surrounding areas appear to be more civilized.

In addition, women's clothing varies in different parts of Iraq. In baghdad and neighbouring areas, women wear long-sleeved, loose-fitting dresses known as "hashemi", the dominant colors of which are black and green. Women in central and southern Iraq often decorate the sleeves of tunics. Generally, blue clothes are embroidered or inlaid with lace with white or gold silk threads. Many women in this area wear gold or silver bracelets and beaded rings.

The clothes of Iraq men are also different in different regions. In Baghdad and surrounding areas, they wear long white shirts. The pants are "Cheol" made of white cotton, and the feet are worn with open shoes or leather sandals. Kurdish men in the north wear a loose coat over their shirts and soft slippers or sandals on their feet.

The website pictures are located in Iraq, green represents Islam and black is used for mourning. The three colors have special meanings, namely, red is represented by the passenger transport industry, gray is represented by police cars, and black is represented by funerals. Green is the favorite color of Arabs. The olive green of the national flag is prohibited for commercial use. There is a people in this country called Yejide, who are Zoroastrians. They worship the devil and believe in God. They imagine the devil in the shape of a peacock, so they worship the peacock. They do not even eat roosters because the roosters are like peacocks. They also believe that the devil does not like blue, blue is unlucky, and blue is taboo. It is very taboo to make patterns with pigs, pandas, and six-pointed stars, and the number 13 is a taboo number.

In daily life, Iraq people generally greet friends and guests warmly, and they are very happy when they are affectionately called by their surnames, positions, degrees and other titles. Shake hands when meeting guests, and more face-to-face greetings or hugs with friends or family. Especially for men's face-to-face gifts, each must look down and say some words of blessing. The women hugged each other many times and kissed each other warmly and sincerely to express mutual respect and love.

Iraq people also attach great importance to the attitude of others towards them, so they must maintain a strict attitude everywhere, especially when talking with others, be serious, focus and not look away. Not being able to cross your hands when talking to others is what they hate most. It is common for men to hold hands with each other as a friendly gesture. They also often smile and nod to others, but this is just a courtesy and does not indicate approval of something.

The eating habits of Iraq are the same as those of most Arab countries. The main food is rice, and the most extensive recipe is fried rice, which is eaten with the right hand. Of course, I also like to eat white bread. I don't like to eat green vegetables. The most common ones are cucumbers and tomatoes. They are usually chopped and eaten raw with a little olive oil and lemon juice. Moreover, every household in Iraq marinates a large jar of olives and chews a few before each meal. It is customary to mix jujube juice with milk and goat's milk and regard it as a delicacy. They love to eat grilled fresh fish, especially those in the capital Baghdad, and they often eat it with chili and tomato salad.

Moreover, many traditional Iraq dishes are very close to Syria and Lebanon dishes, such as roasted sheep meat, kebabs and certain fried meats made in the furnace. Iraq cuisine has a strong taste. It uses a lot of peppers, onions, garlic, and various horseradish and spices. The dishes must be steamed. They do not like to eat them raw or half-cooked.

Alcoholic drinks are not available in Iraq like other Arab countries. Local people generally like to eat sweets made from fruits, pies and other pasta, as well as yogurt, yoghurt grounds and cheese. They rarely drink alcoholic drinks. The more common ones are yogurt "ginger" with a lot of foam and various juice drinks, such as almond juice.

Because it is a Muslim country, Iraq people do not eat pork, and Shiite Muslims in the south do not eat rabbit meat. They also taboo passing things or food with their left hand, regard their left hand as dirty hands, and believe that using dirty hands to pass things or food is actually an insult to people. They also avoid guests not washing their hands and leaving in time after dinner, believing that the hotel's delay or delay in leaving is a sign of gluttony and impoliteness.

the weddings of Iraq people are full of strong religious colors and strong national traditions. Weddings are mainly about ordering weddings and wedding gifts. At the time of engagement, a grand celebration will be held at the homes of both men and women to entertain visiting relatives and friends. However, the traditional habit of Iraq is that men and women have separate activities, and men and women are not allowed to mix together for celebrations. Young men and women are not allowed to stay together after being engaged, let alone go out for activities together.

The wedding ceremony became even more lively. Some small cars formed a new float team, which was majestic and lively. In particular, it is necessary to dance and sing in front of the woman's house, gathering many people. The scene is grand and the atmosphere is warm to congratulate the couple on their beautiful life; some are eight-lift sedan chairs, some are large floats, and some are other methods, mainly based on the specific local conditions and the wishes and economic conditions of the parties involved.

The funeral customs and etiquette of Iraq people are similar to those of other Muslims, and most of them are buried in earth. After death, you must purify your body, wrap the body with white cloth, go to the mosque to recite scriptures and pray, and be buried by the imam.
