Walking marriage

Walking marriage is a marriage mode of Mosuo people. Mosuo people are matriarchal society. During the day, men and women seldom get along alone, but express their feelings to their lovers by dancing and singing at parties. If a man falls in love with a woman, he will go to the woman's "flower house" in the middle of the night after making an appointment with her during the day (Mosuo's adult woman's room is independent of her grandmother's house, that is, the "home house"). Traditionally, he can ride a horse, but he can't enter the greenhouse through the main entrance. Instead, you should climb up the window and hang a hat or something outside the door to show that they are dating and ask others not to disturb him. Then you must leave before dawn, and then you can leave by the main entrance. It is considered rude to leave at dawn or after the elders of the woman's family get up.

Marriage is the custom of Mosuo people in Yunnan Province. Except for a few people who get married or have husbands to increase the family working population, Mosuo people basically have no marriage system. Getting married is a way for like-minded men and women to get married from men to women, maintain their feelings and raise the next generation. Because the matriarchal society is dominated by women, all the children born are the children of the mother's family, and the biological father will openly hold a banquet at the full moon to admit his blood relationship and avoid incest with his father. Men call their mistresses "xia" and women call their boyfriends "cops". Love is the key factor to maintain the relationship between married men and women, and there is no economic connection. Once the relationship fades or personality is found to be incompatible, the relationship can be severed at any time, so emotional freedom is purer than marriage, but it also makes the relationship between men and women more equal, unlike the extremely complicated economic and social network in other ethnic marriage relationships. But some people think that this is irresponsible.

Mencius Teng Wengong: "A husband is born with a house to live in, a woman is born with a home to live in, and everyone has the heart of parents. If the matchmakers peep at each other and follow each other over the wall without waiting for their parents' orders, then your parents and people will be mean. "After the Warring States period, the literati collected and arranged the local customs and records scattered in predecessors' works into six rituals, which gradually became a unified form of employing people and passed down from generation to generation.
