955.Confused (4/5)

From the time of regaining national sovereignty, the various ethnic groups of South Africa began to value their traditions.

In the past, the white rulers of Britain tried to weaken their perception of traditional etiquette, believing that by limiting the spread of national culture, they could limit the thinking of blacks.

It's hard to say whether this trick was useful or not, but in the end, under the leadership of Mandela, the blacks still regained the right to rule the country.

However, the blacks recognized the sinister intentions of the whites, and after they took over the country, various ethnic groups set off a movement to preserve their traditions and revive their cultures.

In addition, the marriage tradition of the Zulu people is polygamous, and the status of women is not given due attention, which makes some women indifferent to the concept of chastity, and then the number of unwed mothers increases, and the phenomenon of children knowing only their mothers and not their fathers is increasing.

Several reasons combined, and the Zulu resurrected this ancient ritual, which was supported by the news media.

Slowly, throughout the Zulu region, the tradition of verifying whether unmarried girls are born is re-promoted and even fashioned.

Normally, when this kind of activity is carried out, young girls of fifteen or sixteen years old within a radius of tens of kilometers will come to a specific place on a specific day, lie side by side on straw mats spread on the ground, and be examined by elderly women of the same race.

These elderly women have undergone a certain amount of professional training, learning from an old woman who serves the goddess and knows the mysterious method of identifying the intact hymen.

After listening to the introduction, Li Du was dumbfounded and said, "This is simply unheard of!"

Big Ivan was puzzled and said: "Isn't it scientifically proven that the purity of women is identified by the hymen, and it is unreliable to say that this is not a reliable thing?"

The lion hunter took a deep puff of his cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "There is no science in our Zulu territory, only the traditions of our ancestors - that's stupid, isn't it?"

He said this without hesitation, with an unconcealable disdain on his face, and the Zulu men around him who were laughing were embarrassed.

Because of the wealth and status of the lion hunter, they could not refute him, so they could only mumble a few vague words.

For the Zulu people, it is a solemn ritual during which no male, including a young boy, is allowed to approach, and if they do, punishment can be inflicted.

The clearing was surrounded by a long blue homespun cloth, creating a relatively enclosed space, and Li Du didn't know what was going on inside, and wondered, "Sophie is not a Zulu girl, why should she stay inside?"

"Because when this ceremony is held, in order to show justice, it is generally necessary for foreign bigwigs to observe, and Sophie is your fiancΓ©e, my guest of honor, and is regarded as a bigwig from a developed country," said the lion hunter. ”

Li Du smiled: "I thought your people would hate white people very much, after all, white people once ruled you, it seems that this is not the case." ”

The lion hunter shrugged his shoulders and said proudly, "They hate white people, but they can't hate my guests." ”

After more than ten minutes, the blue homespun fence was opened, and a group of five girls walked out.

The girls had yellow mud on their foreheads, just like the old woman had done before.

They walked cautiously and proudly, wearing only jewelry on their upper bodies, still bare-chested and bare-breasted.

The lion hunter nodded, "They have passed the test, they are still pure girls, and they will be blessed by the goddess in the future." ”

"Will they be blessed to marry a man who loves them wholeheartedly, and a man who will not marry another woman?" said the masturbator casually.

The lion hunter looked at him and said, "Young man, our culture is different, in our tribe, if you marry only one woman, it means that you are incompetent, you are a bad race. ”

Li Du said: "According to probability, the proportion of men and women in newborns in the tribe should be the same, some people marry multiple wives, and there are always people who can't marry wives, right?"

The lion hunter nodded and said, "Yes, these people are not even a bad breed, they cannot be recognized and respected, unless there is a war, they go to the battlefield to prove their worth." ”

What else can Li Du say? The value of Zulu marriage is so strange that a man who can't marry a daughter-in-law doesn't even have a social status?

The lion hunters are telling the truth, and in order to ensure that their men can marry their daughters-in-law, there is a custom of exchanging relatives among the Zulu people, similar to the closed mountains of China.

According to Zulu tradition, men and women of the same family cannot intermarry, regardless of how many generations apart, as long as they are members of the same family, they will always be brothers and sisters.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the man of the family can marry a daughter-in-law, and in order to ensure that the family can grow, the elders of multiple families sometimes hold marriages.

Don't worry, most Zulu couples don't have any affection for each other – polygamy is always an injustice to women, and how can a woman fall in love with her husband in this social position?

Besides, many men don't treat women as lifelong partners, for them, this is cheap labor and a fertility machine.

The girl who has passed the verification can continue to show her heart in the future, which is a kind of recognition, similar to the 'female certificate', unlike the rest of the world, women can be naked, which is a symbol of purity and beauty in the Zulu people.

Li Du has a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu about this situation, and in Chinese history there was a thing called the chastity archway, which seems to be the chastity archway of Zulu women.

He and the masturbator, Big Ivan, Da Ao and others felt that this was an insult to women, but the lion hunter disagreed, and beckoned: "Let's go, I'll take you to another ceremony, and then you will know that we don't look down on women and don't discriminate against the great mother." ”

This new ritual is even more bizarre, as the Zulu people will also determine the virginity of the young people of the tribe when they determine the purity of women......

In the same open space enclosed with homespun cloth, a group of older boys are waiting to be tested naked, with their buttocks upright.

When Li Du entered inside, he was directly shocked to see so many black and strong naked men!

He looked at the lion hunter in disbelief and exclaimed, "My God, isn't this nonsense?

"This is an activity that our Zulu King of South Africa started two years ago, and he consulted with a lot of andrologists and folklore experts and came up with a verdict," the lion hunter said. ”

Li Du couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "How can you judge? This is really amazing!"

"First of all, experts believe that if a man is really defensive before he gets married, then his genital skin must be quite tight. If an unmarried man's foreskin has become loose, there is a good chance that he has already had sex. ”

The lion hunter grinned contemptuously: "Also, these children have to pee and urinate head-up......"

Li Du subconsciously asked, "It won't be to test the height and strength of urine, right?"

Hearing his words, the lion hunter snapped his fingers: "You are quite right, according to the standard, if the height of the urine squirted by a man is high enough to reach his head or even exceed his height, then he is pure." On the contrary, I don't have to say more, do I?"
