Honeymoon Paradise-Fiji's customs and customs
Fiji, an island country in the South Pacific, has unique and mysterious customs. Villages are the most basic form of organization in Fiji. The current President Josefa Iloilo came from Viese Village, so the village is called "Fiji's No. 1 Village".
In Fiji villages, there is a special rule, that is, you cannot wear hats or touch children's heads. Only the village chief has the privilege of wearing hats; touching other people's heads is the greatest humiliation to others. More than 100 years ago, it may lead to death. In 1867, a British missionary was chopped and cooked alive by angry natives for taking a comb from the head of a local chief. Now Fijians have fully entered modern civilization, but the custom of not touching other people's heads has still been preserved.
Men wearing skirts and flowers:
Fiji has many flowers, and people wearing flowers everywhere, men and women without exception. National flower: Fusang). It is said that wearing flowers on the left side means they are unmarried, while wearing flowers on both sides means they are married. In addition to men wearing flowers, what is even more surprising here is that men also wear skirts. The skirt is called "SOLO" here. Not only do men wear SOLO in ordinary times, but even police officers who command traffic also wear SOLO to perform official duties. It's really a street scene. A week-long Red Flower Festival is held in mid-August every year. Red Flower, or hibiscus flower, is Fiji's national flower. During the festival, islanders hold makeup parades to elect the Red Flower Queen.
Many traditional customs are still preserved on the island, such as the magical singing ceremony of calling fish from the deep sea to the shallow sea for easy capture, and the traditional fire discharge ceremony. They are all mysterious traditions that have not yet disappeared in Fiji.
Fiji's two major national quintessence are the flat teeth of whales, called "Tabua", and the other is a local drink "Yangna".
In the Fiji tribe, young girls from the Vidudou tribe hold a coming-of-age ceremony and suffer from ants biting them. This means that the local people want them to be able to endure the pain and at the same time unite like ants. However, Tikuna girls have to cut off all their hair at the coming-of-age ceremony and leave only a small amount of hair on the top of their heads. This is to show the inheritance of the family, and that piece of hair is suitable for a bridge between ancestors. At the same time, some clansmen beat drums and sang. Then someone will put a needle through the girl's ears to leave pierced ears. If in order to prevent the baby from being unable to safely pass the coming-of-age ceremony in the future, the ear piercing can also be done in advance is the parents 'hope for their children's happy life in the future.
