Women from the age of 5 years old to put on the neck, limbs must be put on 1 kg of copper ring, from 10 years old to 25 years old every year set a set, some people can put 15 rings, the weight of 10 to 15 kg weight!
There is such a nation, women to long necks for beauty, the custom here as long as it is women, from an early age began to bring copper rings, so that their neck through the accumulation of copper rings elongated, the local commonly known as long-necked people. It is an ethnic minority in Thailand.
The most troublesome thing is to take a bath, because the custom is that it is not allowed to take it off when you wear it, but in the summer, you have to take a bath every day, you can only help each other, or take a rope to stuff it in, and use friction to wash the sweat over and over again. But if the weather is too hot, the copper ring will be burned, and it will not cool down for a while, so the women can only go to the river to bathe and lower the temperature of the copper ring.
I don't understand this custom, there are many kinds of appreciation for beauty, how can the length of the neck define a kind of beauty? I felt that the neck was long, very incongruous with the body, and it would look strange. Like giraffes, they always feel very different from other animals.
Key people will also be very uncomfortable, 5 years old to 25 years old, experienced an innocent childhood, lively and active teenagers, ignorant youth, the great and beautiful time of life are bound by the brass circle, how much experience is missing.
The world is developing and progressing so fast, how can the living habits not affect them, the elders have developed, even if the long neck has been completed, but the little girl should resist, and the parents should not treat their children like this.
Do I think they are bitter?
Or deliberately make people appreciate it that way?
What do you think of such customs? Comments are welcome.
