What national culture does the Qiang nationality's marriage custom reflect?

"Daughter Horse" is a unique marriage custom of Qiang people. No matter how beautiful Qiang girls are, if they don't sow their daughters' hemp in the land of love with hard-working hands, they won't bear rich fruits. Young Qiang men and women met and fell in love. After the two sides officially ate the engagement wine, the girl to be married began to prepare for planting her daughter hemp. The girl chose a piece of wasteland on the hillside for reclamation. After the spring, plant hemp on this land, weave it into cloth after the autumn harvest, sew it into new clothes or weave it into a belt to get married. No one is allowed to intervene to help, and the whole process is completed by the girl herself.

If others help with farming, it will be considered that girls are unfaithful to love. Therefore, in order to pursue beautiful love and form a happy marriage with the beloved young man, Qiang girls silently engaged in planting and harvesting. They go out early and come back late, avoid talking to others, and don't mention their daughter's hemp planting to anyone, relatives and friends, so that girls can remain shy before marriage, so as not to make people laugh or talk behind their backs. Where there is a daughter, no one is allowed to go at will to show respect for the girl.

Before the wedding, Qiang girls woven their daughters into seven belts, tied them to themselves when they got married, and untied them by the groom himself on the wedding night. The daughter wove linen into clothes as a dowry for the girl when she got married. Then both husband and wife take this dress as a permanent memorial, and generally no longer wear it, but pass it on to future generations to educate future generations to maintain the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift of the Qiang people.

Qiang people also have the custom of robbing marriage. When the man's proposal was flatly rejected, he took the woman home while she was working or going out. The next day, the man brought pig fat and wine to the woman's house to propose again. Since the uncooked rice is cooked, the woman agreed. If the woman doesn't want to, she can go home secretly the next day, and the man generally doesn't pursue it. Snatching a marriage can rob a girl or a widow.
