There is such a nation with frequent beautiful women, they are Tajiks, most of the women in this group can sing and dance, fair skin, and outstanding appearance, so that people can't help but be moved when they see it, and want to marry home.
It's a pity that these heart-warming guys are destined to return home, just because this race has a very strict rule, that is, women in the clan are not allowed to intermarry with foreign races.
Speaking of which, this is also one of the 56 ethnic groups on the mainland, but why do they have such regulations?
A race of beautiful women
Taxian is the largest concentration of white Chinese people, and many beautiful Tajiks live here.
According to a recent census a few years ago, there are nearly 50,000 Tajiks here, which can be said to be very rare, because there are more than this number of people in any town in China.
However, it is such a small race, but it has its own firm principles, and it has not changed in the slightest over the years.
This race is particularly prone to beautiful women, they have fair skin, deep facial features, charming eyes, and a smile as if they have magical powers, so that people can't help but pay attention to them.
The most typical type of Chinese is yellow skin, but this race is born with white skin, which is a unique existence in China.
This is born with white skin, who doesn't want their children to grow white and tender in the future, even whitening products and sunscreen can be saved.
And the most important thing is that the probability of a woman of this clan producing a beautiful woman is extremely high, and the man is the kind of strong and strong, and he is very healthy at first glance, who doesn't want a baby with such good genes?
The Tajiks must have thought the same way, so they strictly forbade intermarriage between clansmen and foreigners, just to keep their blood pure.
They believed that intermarriage with foreigners would weaken the identity of their people, and that over the generations, their characteristic Caucasian characteristics would eventually cease to exist.
In this way, they cease to exist. So in the matter of bloodline, they are particularly persistent.
Tajiks do not intermarry with foreign peoples, on the one hand, in order to inherit the spirit and face of their ancestors, and on the other hand, they also have some religious beliefs.
Tajiks have a consensus that if they marry a foreigner, they will not be able to obtain the protection and blessings of their ancestors, and this life will be more difficult.
Tajiks also have their own set of social etiquette, which is very different from most restrained and conservative Chinese etiquette, but more similar to some foreign etiquette.
In the eyes of Tajiks, kissing greetings represents friendship, respect and blessings.
However, in the eyes of the Chinese people, these behaviors are too unrestrained and can only be used to express love between lovers, and it is best not to do these behaviors in public, otherwise it is impolite and unsightly.
China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and the Tajiks who are Chinese attach great importance to etiquette, but there are some differences.
Tajiks have very detailed rules about kissing and greetings: the same sex kisses both cheeks, the opposite sex kisses the right cheek, and the elders kiss the young respectfully.
Kissing is a very important part of every holiday celebration or family gathering, and they use this ritual to send blessings to each other and strengthen their relationship with each other.
Because of the great importance attached to tradition, Tajiks have a strong sense of family. In the Tajik community, the parents have absolute authority, and the children are relatively weak, and they are not even allowed to live alone.
Tajiks have a very old belief that separating families is a shameful thing, and they have always believed that relatives should stay together, which is one of the reasons why they advocate marriage between close relatives.
Defend your home with your life
As we all know, children born of consanguineous marriages can be defective, so why aren't Tajiks afraid?
This may have something to do with the way of life and beliefs that Tajiks have been figuring out over thousands of years. The Tajiks have a very long history, dating back more than 2,000 BC.
The ancestors of the Tajiks were the Aryans, and at that time, the Aryans were on the move, looking for a place to rest.
Along the way, some Aryans took a fancy to the vast land of the Pamirs, and took root here to begin their recuperation.
After thousands of years of development, this ethnic group continued to grow and expand, and finally established a "Shupantuo Kingdom" in the early A.D.
The kingdom also had a brief period of glory, and finally had to succumb to the iron cavalry of the Tibetans, and was once again displaced.
It was not easy to be ruled by others and lose their freedom, and the Tajiks were powerless to resist and were at the mercy of others.
In history, they are like a shining star, since the appearance of Tibet, it has been dim and depressed to an inconspicuous level, until the late Qing Dynasty, this star began to react again, and slowly bloomed its own glory.
When the Kokand Khanate wanted to invade Xinjiang, the Tajiks learned the lesson that meekness and harmlessness would not bring them life, but would only be an overwhelming disaster.
Therefore, this time they are extraordinarily brave, vowing to wash away their humiliation and usher in the freedom they want.
If the race is strong, the people are full of hope, and the Tajiks know this truth very well, so they must resist, resist desperately, so that those invaders can see their death as home, and see that they are not easy to provoke, so as to hinder the pace of their aggression.
The leader of the rebellion was called "Kurchak", and at the age of 13, he was sold into slavery and was never allowed to be free.
Lucky enough to be able to return to the country again, Kurchak did not want what had happened to him to happen to his own people in the future.
He had been drenched in the rain, and he didn't want his people to get drenched too, so even if he fought to the death, he would never back down.
The Tajiks have long had enough of aggression, and if one person stands up to resist, countless people will stand up and follow.
In the face of extreme poverty, they still set up their own border guards to protect China's borders and their own homeland.
In December 1949, their battle ended, and they finally defended their homeland under the iron cavalry of the Russian and British powers.
They do not need to be displaced, they have used their own strength in exchange for ultimate freedom, ushered in a new hope, opened a new chapter, and shined again in history.
The population is small and does not want to intermarry with foreigners
After this battle, the Tajiks settled down again.
If they want to grow, grow, and regain their former glory, now is the time to recuperate. Tajik beauties are like clouds, and as long as they want, there are many people lining up to marry them.
However, the Tajiks have no intention of doing so, and they have always adhered to the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation and are determined not to intermarry with foreigners.
Although their rules seem very unkind, in fact, they are quite enthusiastic in other aspects except for their marriage.
Xinjiang is a good place, where there is an endless sea of flowers, beautiful mountains and lakes, and many good scenery that you can't imagine, which is a beautiful scenery that belongs to Xinjiang.
When you go to Xinjiang, you will find that in fact, Tajiks are not so xenophobic, they are still very hospitable.
There are gentle and beautiful girls, straightforward and enthusiastic guys, and they will pull you to sing and dance together.
If you happen by chance, you may come across the "Eagle Flute" and "Eagle Dance", which are generally performed only for hunting and celebration, and are also unique to the Tajik people.
As the name suggests, the "Eagle Dance" is a dance created by the ancestors of the Tajik people during falconry, mainly by simulating the movements of the eagle to show the combination of power and beauty.
In addition, Tajiks also have an important festival "Festival of Lights", also known as "Pirik Festival".
The festival can be said to be quite lively, and for this day, Tajiks make a lot of preparations.
On this day, people eat a lot of delicious food, light up all kinds of beautiful lamps, send the most sincere blessings to each other, and go to worship the ancestors. This is somewhat similar to our Qingming Festival, but it is very different.
The Tajik ethnic group has a variety of refreshing programs and ceremonies, which are unique to the charm of this people.
Maybe some of the regulations are too old-fashioned and old-fashioned, but they are also the characteristics of this nation, and the world does not need to be as good, what is needed is the characteristics of a hundred flowers blooming.
I don't know if it is a loss for the Tajiks or a loss for foreigners if they don't intermarry with foreigners, but the Tajiks have held on for so many years, but they still exist, which shows that their persistence still has a certain amount of justification.
Although they may seem a little "stubborn", they are also resolute and brave, and there are heads and tails of coins.
