Why are most Miao girls unwilling to marry other nationalities since ancient times?
China is a multi-ethnic country, and each ethnic group has different cultural characteristics. Today we are going to talk about Miao nationality. Miao girls are good at singing and dancing, mostly distributed in Guizhou, Yunnan and other regions, and have their own unique cultural atmosphere. However, through understanding, we find that Miao girls are rarely willing to marry other ethnic groups, and we are very curious. In fact, there is a reason why they don't want to marry other ethnic groups, because the Miao people belong to the primitive minority and some traditional ideas are deeply rooted. In order to maintain this primitive religion, most of them choose to marry their own people.

First, traditional ideas have continued to this day. Throughout the history of Miao nationality, we can find that Miao nationality is a traditional minority with strong ideas and unique local customs and culture. Miao ancestors always believed that everything in the world was harmonious and complementary, and they also had a sense of worship for nature. In the eyes of the older generation of Miao people, if Miao girls choose to get married, they can only marry their own people, so as not to destroy their traditions. At the same time, the cultural beliefs of Miao people are also very different from those of other ethnic groups. Choosing other nationalities to marry will lead to certain cultural conflicts, which is not conducive to the harmony between husband and wife, so they rarely marry other nationalities.

Second, the living customs are different. In our general view, most Miao people live in the vast mountains and forests. They are enthusiastic and advocate freedom of marriage. The local custom is to sing folk songs and have sex. Compared with other nationalities, these lifestyles are not easy to learn. Miao people love to sing folk songs, which many other ethnic groups do not have, so when Miao girls choose to marry other ethnic groups, their lives will be very different. According to the mate selection criteria of Miao girls, singing folk songs is necessary, so we rarely see Miao girls marrying other nationalities. It is precisely because the Miao people have traditional national concepts, and the Miao girls themselves like to sing folk songs and have unique living customs, so we rarely see Miao girls marrying other ethnic minorities. But in any case, every nation has its own characteristics, and we can't blindly turn the impossible into the possible, so we must respect the cultural traditions of all ethnic groups!
