Ancient China's evolution gradually evolved from a feminist society to a patriarchal society, and in the previous social period, there was a period of time when women married men in China, but with the gradual development of China, China has no such marriages.
In Africa, there is also a mysterious tribe that maintains a polyandrous system, and even the men there wear makeup every day, waiting for the "luck" of women. ”
Primitive tribes
This is a mysterious primitive tribe, modeled after the ancient emperors who had a beautiful harem of three thousand, women here can marry their husbands at will, and the most primitive matriarchal society is still maintained here.
The most traditional society of the Wadabe primitive tribes in Africa is because they are a nomadic people who migrate every once in a while, living nomadic throughout Africa.
Although they do not have a certain number of rules in their lives, they have a certain number of norms and standards for love, and they are the purest people in thought and spirit.
The men here in the Vodabe tribe have no status, they want to be favored by the women, they need to be selected and dressed countless times before they can be picked by the women and then married home.
In fact, in today's Chinese society, it is very conceivable how they survive in a matrilineal society? The status of women in the Vodabe tribe is very high, and the status of each woman is comparable to that of ancient emperors.
The status of male superiority and female inferiority has completely changed, they respect women very much, and men always have to submit to women, women can dominate men at will, and can marry many husbands.
The purpose of the three-year election of the harem is to select beautiful women, pay tribute to the emperor, make the emperor happy, and hold a beauty pageant every year in the Vodabay tribe.
The purpose of the pageant is to make these men stand out and try to show their beauty, so that the women of the tribe will choose them and marry them home.
This courtship festival is the biggest festival of the year in the tribe, and for this day, many men in the tribe even start preparing a year in advance, and there is no man in the tribe who does not pay attention to such competitions.
They put on heavy makeup and black lips just to get the favor of women; They changed into the most colorful clothes and matched them with the most noble jewelry, just so that women could see him.
On this festival, a woman who falls in love with any man only needs to pat him on the shoulder to marry the man home, and from then on the man begins to serve the woman with other men.
These women who are married home together will not quarrel over serving women, and they do not want to be returned to their "mother's house", because this is a very shameful thing in the tribe.
Africa is a relatively water-scarce country, and the Voda Betain steppe migrant tribes also rely on water, they follow the direction of the water flow and live on the grassland in search of water.
The water on the grassland is very precious, and the men of the Vodabay tribe will only dress up and take a bath on this day of the courtship festival, which is enough to see how important this annual courtship festival is.
Courtship Festival
One of the most important requirements of the courtship festival is to dress up, because there are many men competing on the day, and men have to show their best side to women so that they can be married home.
They have a traditional way of dressing up as a national, and they have to dress up from head to toe so that they can participate in this courtship festival.
The annual courtship festival is held for seven days and seven nights, during which any male who is loved by a woman can have sex with each other, and if they get along well, they will be married home.
If you can't get along, women can also quit the man directly, and then find another one, such a tradition is also very "long face" for women.
After the men have bathed, they first refine their faces, which they will use red clay or yellow mud to paint their faces, which is the traditional color of the Vodabay tribe.
Then they would sculpt their eyebrows and lips with lead powder from used batteries, and they turned their lipsticks black, and the black lips were printed on the red and yellow base makeup for a more colorful collision.
Africans are more able to highlight the whiteness of their teeth because they are black, and they also pay attention to the whiteness of their teeth, so they paint black on their lips to set off the whiteness of their teeth.
Next, they have to do the final touches on the face, black and white is the most matching color, so they will use white paint to paint on the face, a unique symbol belonging to the tribe.
Drawing some special symbols on the face can also attract the eyes of women more, male friends in order to attract you, women also pay a great price.
After the face is made, they have to make changes to their hairstyle, Africans like to braid small braids, preferably colored or feathered braids.
But to keep their braids neat, they shave off part of their forehead hair before braiding.
The pigtail with colorful feathers is also to win a good head for yourself, and the bottom of the mat will also wear some small shells, not only for beauty, but also to attract the attention of women when dancing.
The last thing male friends care about is their own clothing, they will wear their most colorful and ethnic clothes on their bodies, and they will also bring some feather decorations on their bodies.
Others would apply leftover white paint to their arms and legs, painting attractive white stripes, and the overall look now looks very funny, but it is very much in line with local culture and customs.
The entire courtship festival lasts 7 days and 7 nights, and male friends will use their whole body's "seduction skills", such as singing, dancing, musical instruments, which are all "weapons" to attract women's attention.
Why do these male friends work so hard to perform for seven days and seven nights? They also just want a first-place spot, because getting first place allows them to pick any number of women.
Such an opportunity is too precious for all male friends, which is like students only have a place in the university, which allows them to choose their own school, so the men in the tribe will never give up this opportunity.
After the seven days and nights of singing and dancing, the women will contently take their male concubines home for a dashing life, and those men who are not chosen can only wait for next year's courtship festival.
Such a traditional tribe, in the eyes of no surprise, still adheres to such customs to the present, and such traditional tribes and national cultures are worth continuing.
