Among the numerous ethnic minorities in China, Miao is one of the most famous ethnic minorities, which is widely distributed and has a relatively large population compared with other ethnic minorities. What are the traditional festivals and customs of Miao nationality? Let's talk about the unique customs of Miao nationality. There are many places with unique national characteristics, and some social systems are also very different from those of the Han nationality.

(1) social system. Before the founding of New China, the social system of Miao nationality was mainly drum society system, discussion system and old-age management system. Generally speaking, the drum club system is an organization composed of the same clan or several natural villages. Parliamentary system refers to a regional village organization composed of families of different clans. The system of managing the elderly is the natural leader of Miao village, and it is usually mastered by respected people.

3 taboos. Miao people have a strange taboo, that is, it is forbidden for pregnant women to meet with pregnant women, and it is also forbidden for pregnant women to go to other delivery rooms, otherwise it will be considered to prolong the delivery period. There is also a taboo about agriculture. In the field, it is forbidden to mention mice, because they are afraid that hearing mice will destroy crops.
