Speaking of the marriage customs of the Li nationality is really interesting, for example, "night tour", this custom is a bit similar to the customs of some places in Lijiang, it is a unique form of love between young men and women of the Li nationality, and it has a close connection with the "long boudoir".

When the sun sets, the young men dress up and wade through mountains and rivers to the "sister boudoir" in a distant mountain village, where they look for a lover by singing songs and playing mouth bows and nose flutes.

This can be said to be a real free love.

It takes a bit of ingenuity to get into the "Sister Boudoir". First, the man knocks on the door with a song, and if the woman agrees to let him in, she responds with a song, and if she does not, she throws away a song that does not open the door, and the man has to find another branch.

When the man enters the door, he should not sit casually, but sing the greeting song and the invitation song. After sitting down, the man has to go straight to the point and explain whether he is looking for a couple or a marriage proposal, and the woman responds whether she already has a lover.

If there are many girls in the "boudoir" that enters, and I don't know which girl is willing to fall in love, men and women will sing love songs, and the willing girl will naturally respond to him. Next, the sound of singing, bowing and nasal flute that expresses love will rise and fall one after another until the love is agreed.

After the love is agreed, the man will give the woman silver dollars, copper coins, needles, cloth shirts, waist baskets, bamboo hats and other items as gifts for sleeping in the same bed overnight. In the future, they invite each other and come and go often at night. Some of these relations lasted for one and a half months, while others lasted for two or three years. Of course, there are also flowers that fall into the valley, so they sing songs of breaking love and separating from each other. After that, they did not interfere with each other and looked for a new lover.

If a pair of Li family lovers are in love and need to conclude a good relationship between Qin and Jin, they will tell their parents about the marriage. Then, the parents and brothers of the man's family will choose an auspicious day and bring a dowry, which must carefully pick betel nuts and go to the woman's family to propose.

The betel nut should be sent door-to-door, so that everyone can give good wishes, because the betel nut symbolizes the evergreen and new marriage, indicating that the man and woman love each other and are harmonious and happy. The Li people call it "putting betel nuts" or "putting clothes".

"So these betel nuts are quite important, no wonder this place is called betel nut valley, it turns out that this is the reason!" Yan'er suddenly realized, and suddenly became interested in these interesting customs.

The main thing is that the whole process sounds really fun and is particularly romantic?

It feels a bit like a fairy tale, the prince and princess sing to each other to attract each other's attention, and then they naturally fall in love, the princess lives in the prince's castle, and the two live happily together forever.

This is simply a love at first sight drama, but I didn't expect it to exist in real life, it turns out that people say that art comes from life, and this sentence is not wrong at all!

"Of course, betel nut can be said to run through the whole process of Li marriage customs, and the status is quite important!" Jin Yang raised his eyebrows, as if he was those betel nuts.

"The 'night tour' and 'boudoir' just now...... It can be understood as a blind date, followed by a formal relationship, if the young man and the girl are like-minded, the young man must tell the parents, and then invite two matchmakers, well, here and our Han wedding customs are almost the same, matchmakers are very important. ”

"Everyone knows the matchmaker, who can speak well, and the ugly monsters can be said by them to be good-looking, oh, the man is handsome and chic, and he looks like a fairy. And especially the sewing needles, they will have beautiful flower bucket skirts, and wear brand-new refined hats. Use two new hair buns to go to the woman's house to "check" (check that is, test the attitude of the woman's parents towards the marriage), if the woman's parents open the hair and paste the betel nut, they agree, and then the two parties can agree on the time and price of the betel nut. ”

"The time is mostly set on the double day of June or August of the lunar calendar, symbolizing pairs. ”

"From this, you can imagine how important betel nut is to them, and it can even be said that if there is no betel nut, it is estimated that the Li people may no longer exist today, because the girls will not agree to fall in love with the young men if they can't receive the betel nut, and the women's parents will not agree to marry their daughters if they can't eat betel nut......"

"Puff ......" looked at Jin Yang Zhenzhen's words and looked like something serious, Yan'er couldn't help it, covered his mouth and almost didn't laugh, "Haha, sooner or later, I will be laughed to death by you, what does it have to do with betel nut whether people get married or not? It's so exaggerated to exterminate the clan, without betel nut, people can also choose to send clothes, jewelry, or even money directly, it's not that you can't live without betel nut!"

"Where is the exaggeration? You can't afford betel nuts and you still want to marry my daughter? You poor devil get out of here, don't let me see you again in this life...... I don't have any eyesight, don't I know if we Li women like to eat betel nut?" Jin Yang raised his fingers exaggeratedly, and there was a kind of shrew scolding the street.

"Oh, there's a lot of people watching. Sensing the curious gazes of the people around him, Yan'er's face turned red, this guy is too unreliable, don't even look at what kind of place this is, it's a shame to have such a husband.

"What are you afraid of, I'm giving you knowledge, and it's not a shameful thing. Jin Yang didn't care about the curious eyes of the people around him, anyway, no one here knew him except for those who came together, since no one knew him, then what else did he have to be afraid of?

"Well, tell me if what I just said is correct? Otherwise, how could this place be called Betel Valley?

"Hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter around, many people joined in the laughter, and some people in the crowd even shouted: "Then do you know that betel nut chewing too much can cause cancer?"

"Yes, I heard that chewing betel nut is very harmful to people's bodies, everyone didn't know that many people love to eat betel nut, and now many people know it, do you think betel nut will become people's favorite?"

......

Jin Yang didn't hear these words, anyway, he didn't like to chew betel nut, even if there was a risk of cancer, it wouldn't threaten him, although he had always been very curious about that sentence - betel nut plus cigarettes, mana is boundless, betel nut with wine, immortal.

Is smoking while chewing betel nut really refreshing to the point of exploding? Is chewing betel nut when drinking more likely to get drunk, or does it make people flutter?

And what about betel nut with cigarettes and wine? Hades beckoning to you?

Areca nut, a small green seed-like fruit, belongs to the evergreen tree of the palm family, native to Malaysia, and is mainly distributed in several places in China, such as the South China Sea, Yun Province and Wanwan.

It is actually a very important Chinese herbal medicine, has a certain medicinal value, traditional medicine believes that betel nut has the effect of "killing insects, breaking accumulation, reducing qi stagnation, water and dampness", and has been used to treat parasitic infections such as tapeworm, hookworm, roundworm, worm, and fasciola.

The four mill soup composed of betel nut and black medicine, ginseng and agarwood is mainly used to treat "seven emotions and qi reversal, shortness of breath, and no food", and the folk have the tradition of taking the four mill soup after the baby is born one week later, which is said to be beneficial to the child's stomach and intestines, and will not make a stomach trouble in the future.

Of course, this refers to its role when it is used as a Chinese herbal medicine, and if it is used as a chewing hobby, hehe, I'm afraid it is not so friendly.

According to modern medical research, chewing betel nut for a long time is very harmful to the human body, and even causes cancer in serious cases......

For example, betel nut damages the oral mucosa.

Normal oral mucosa is ruddy, soft and elastic, but long-term consumption of oral mucosa fruit atrophy, fibrous tissue degeneration and hyperplasia, hardening, not smooth, loss of elasticity. People with severe cases also have small mouths, can't open their mouths, can't speak clearly, and have difficulty eating. In addition, due to frequent chewing of betel nut, saliva decreases, lip hair is dry, and blood can seep and spots appear in the mouth.

Also, betel nut can ruin your face and teeth, so if you want to get uglier, then start chewing betel nut, chew it in big gulps, and chew hard!

Betel nut not only makes the mouth smaller, but also the face bigger and the teeth worse. The betel nut is very hard and chewed hard, which will cause the masticatory muscles to develop and the face to become larger; And due to chewing betel nut for a long time, the tips of the teeth will be smoothed out, and some severe people will lose their teeth or only have the roots. Their teeth become so sensitive that they feel pain when they eat and drink.

Chewing betel nut can also make people prone to mouth ulcers.

As mentioned above, chewing betel nut for a long time can damage the oral mucosa and easily lead to mouth ulcers. Due to the yellow and black edges of the teeth, there is less saliva production, the resistance of the mouth is lower, and the ability of the mouth to clean is also reduced, which will lead to the accumulation of large amounts of bacteria in the mouth, caries, and inflammation.

Arecine irritates the oral mucosa for a long time and ulcers appear, so people who like to chew betel nut should pay attention to the early appearance of ulcers, and must be treated with medication, such as the development of oral cancer in the future.

This is not empty words, betel nut contains arecaine, as early as 2003, betel nut was internationally recognized as a major carcinogen, the highest carcinogen.

If you smoke and chew betel nut, you have a high risk of oral cancer because of the significant increase in toxic substances in your saliva, and chewing betel nut soaked in lime can cause oral irritation. India is said to have the highest incidence of oral cancer in the world because the asans love betel nut.

That's why the sentence just now appeared: betel nut and tobacco, the mana is boundless, and betel nut with wine is immortal.

Uh, it's far away, a group of people around him followed and coaxed, Yan'er's face turned red when he heard it, and he hurriedly pulled his unreliable husband to run away, "What is popular, what era is it now, maybe the set you said is not popular now, hurry up and come with me, let's change places." ”

As if she was a thief, she was really panicked, and she was even more panicked when she ran, of course, it didn't seem easy to see the road with her head down, and she didn't know how far she ran all the way in a panic, but when she was relieved and raised her head to see where she ran, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

This is a large open space, surrounded by some very tall trees, if you are not mistaken, it should be the most famous betel nut tree here, and there are many flowers and trees next to it, in short, the scenery is very beautiful.

But these are not the point, the point is that there is a group of women in the center of this clearing, uh, to be precise, it should be a group of grandmothers, they all look at least 50 years old (grandmothers, or Li women, most of them are very dark, it is really not easy to distinguish their age, but it is still easy to distinguish the elderly, the wrinkles on the face can not deceive people, and there is no artifact in makeup to that extent), at this moment the grandmothers are sitting on the ground one by one, their legs are stretched out, and there are brightly colored things like cloth on them, and there are some raw materials and gadgets next to them, is bowing his head and concentrating on weaving the work in his hands.

They all look so serious, and the grandmothers' hands are also very dexterous, as if they are dancing on a piece of fabric to dance a unique dance, and then the cloth will be outlined with beautiful patterns and patterns, or birds and beasts, or flowers and plants, or people, everything is lifelike, it doesn't feel like they are weaving something, nor are they working, but performing some unique art.

It's wonderful!

At this moment, there are already many people around the grandmothers watching, but it may be the original meaning of the regulations, tourists can watch but not too close, let alone directly or indirectly disturb the work of every grandmother, otherwise they will be fined or even expelled from the valley by the staff.

Jinyang and Yan'er finally squeezed in from the crowd, so that they could appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of the grandmothers up close.

They have just inquired, the grandmothers weave this is called Li brocade, "Dongxi Fiber Chronicles" contains: "Li people take Chinese colored silk, dismantle the color silk and Jibei, and weave it into a brocade." ”

Li Jin is mostly used in women's tube skirts, rocking pockets and other daily necessities, is an indispensable life necessities in the life of the Li people, and has developed into a unique national art and culture.

Today, Nanhai Tongshi has a special "Li Jin Research Institute" to engage in research and production, which is simply a wonderful flower of Chinese textile art.

There are many characteristics of Li Jin, such as: exquisite production, bright colors, rich in exaggerated and romantic colors, exquisite patterns and patterns, matching colors and, birds and beasts, flowers and plants, characters are lifelike, and there are national characteristics in spinning, weaving, dyeing and embroidery.

Li brocade is mainly embroidery, weaving and dyeing, and weaving flowers, and there is less embroidery. Dyes are mainly made from wild or domestic plants in mountainous areas. These dyes are brightly colored and do not fade easily. According to their own preferences, the Li people in various places have created a variety of weaving, dyeing and embroidery techniques. For example, the Li people of Baisha County have a kind of double-sided processing of color embroidery, which is exquisitely made, colorful, and distinctive, and has the reputation of "double-sided embroidery" in Hainan.

Li Jin is mainly made of cotton thread, supplemented by twine, silk thread and gold and silver thread.

The Li people in the Dongfang and Changjiang regions created a brocade craft that combines tie-dyeing and weaving. The warp is mostly dyed by valerian (i.e., tie-dyeing), the warp is braided on a tie frame, and then the yarn is knotted on the warp, and the yarn is removed after dyeing, that is, the pattern of blue ground and white flowers appears, and then woven into the colored weft.

Weaving and weaving tools still use ancient traditional tools, such as hand-rubbed deseeded cross sticks, wooden hand-cranked ginning machines, pedal spinning machines and looms.
