The strange marriage custom of "dental inlay to confirm love" among Zhuang compatriots

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each ethnic group has its own special cultural imprints, which makes it a colorful family of the Chinese nation. There are many ethnic groups that have some strange customs and customs that have been passed down for thousands of years. Today, we are here to reveal some strange customs hidden in the Zhuang people in Guangxi.

It is reported that in Napo County, Guangxi on the Sino-Vietnam border, it is full of beautiful scenery. But deep in the mountains, there is a mountain village called Tunlitun. Thousands of Zhuang compatriots live in the village. What strange customs do the Zhuang compatriots here have?

The marriage customs of the Zhuang compatriots in Tunlitun

are very strange. This strange custom should be relatively rare in China.

It is reported that one morning, A Feng and A Zhu in the stockade had just confirmed their relationship with each other. Ah Feng took Ah Zhu to a room, and many people might have the wrong idea. The two of them came to this room just to do one thing, which was to pull out Ah Zhu's teeth. Could it be that her teeth were broken and needed to be re-installed?

In Tunlitun Stronghold, when men and women love each other, they need a love ceremony, and tooth extraction is an important part. Pull out one of Ah Zhu's teeth and insert another gold tooth, so that the two of them are together.

The location of the

is here. Both men and women must establish their relationship and knock out the girl's teeth and insert gold teeth. This undoubtedly makes people feel scary. How did this custom in Tunlitun come about?

In ancient China, the Han people's marriage paid attention to "the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker," and also took into account the family background of both parties. However, in Tunlitun Zhaizi, there has been no such thing as arranged marriages since ancient times. For them, love is absolutely free.

What is even more surprising about the

is that men and women in Tunlitun never cover up when they fall in love, let alone try, etc. They do not have such troublesome and complicated matters. Tunlitun reaches the tenth day of the first lunar month every year, which is the romantic festival for the strong people in black.

On this day, young single girls and young men from the whole village gathered together to sing and dance. They first got to know each other before everyone got to know each other a little. They would stand around a dustpan and throw their own moon bags containing their birth dates into the dustpan. If single girls and guys are interested in each other, they will pick up their moon bag.

They will give the birth characters of both parties to people who know the industry. Only if they match can they be together. If they don't match, they will be opposed and they cannot be together. After the two of them successfully hold hands, they will have to perform the ceremony of making love with dental implants.

Since the 1990s, people in the stockade have often gone outside and have gained more knowledge. There have been some changes to the custom of "dental inlay". Nowadays, people in Tunlitun have replaced the ritual of tooth extraction as a token of gift to a moon bag.
