Why do the Miao people hit you in the high mountains and flowing water?

It is a unique custom of the Miao people to hit you with mountains and flowing water. Its original intention is to express a kind of hospitality, but it also means some challenges and tests.

In Miao culture, wine is a very important drink, representing friendship, enthusiasm and trust. Therefore, when the Miao people toast you, they will raise the wine glass high and then pour the wine so that it flows along the wall of the glass into your mouth. This process is called "mountain flowing water", which means that the wine flows continuously into your mouth like a mountain stream.

In the process of toasting, if you accidentally touch the hands of the Miao people, it means that you accept their respect, and it also means that you can drink and have a high appreciation for wine. Therefore, the Miao people's high mountains and flowing water hitting you is not only an expression of hospitality, but also a test and challenge, which requires you to have a certain amount of alcohol and drinking skills.

It should be noted that although the high mountains and flowing water of the Miao people are a traditional custom, you should respect the wishes of others at all times, and pay attention to moderation when drinking, and do not drink excessively.
