Unlike other ethnic groups, Yao people like to have long hair, regardless of gender. There is a record of Yao nationality's "vertebral bun" in ancient books, which means to keep long hair on the top of the head. Yao people not only have long hair, but also like to wear colorful clothes.
Compared with the traditional marriage of other nationalities, Yao nationality has its own unique marriage customs. Among Yao people, there are not only customs of marrying women, but also peculiar customs of marrying men. Before the founding of New China, Yao people generally did not marry outside. However, unlike other nationalities, marriage is not free. Yao people advocate freedom of love. Generally, Yao men and women are free to fall in love through singing, dancing or other festivals, and they can get married with the consent of their parents.
After Yao Man married the woman, both husband and wife were equal, and there was no distinction between high and low. After marriage, men and women have their own division of labor in peacetime, but in real life, unlike the Han nationality, women don't listen to men. Important events in the family are often decided by both parties through consultation. Both men and women have the right to inherit the legacy of the elderly at home, and they also have the obligation to support the elderly.
After the founding of New China, it is no longer forbidden for Yao people to intermarry with other nationalities. According to some records, the intermarriage rate between Yao and other ethnic groups is as high as 26.46%, which is already a very high proportion. You know, Yao's total population has reached more than 2.8 million. If you have a chance, you can try to marry a Yao girl. You should know that the status of marrying Lang is the same as that of the rest of the family, and the status is equal.
