I believe that everyone has more or less heard of some tribes in Africa, and when people mention Africa, everyone may think of poverty and backwardness, but in addition to these, which tribes in Africa are still very eye-catching. Of course, we can't say bad, but our beliefs are different, the Ministry of National Culture is different, and our incomprehensible behavior may be very glorious in their own eyes. For example, the African lip plate people that make us strange. Don't look at this as if this is very common in Africa, but in fact, lip plates are not for everyone to wear, this is a symbol of special groups, so here to visit the African lip plates together!
The lip plate, as the name suggests, is to hang a large disc made of mud on the lips, holding the lips very large, the lip plate is a primitive tribe in Ethiopia, also known as the Morsey people, and still live a nomadic life. The lip plate is exclusive to Moorish women, who will make a hole in the lips from an early age to place the lip plate, and then as they grow older, they will replace the larger and larger lip plate. And with the size of the lip plate also represents a lot of things, the larger the lip plate, the more bride price the woman will get when she gets married! As a result, the lip plate has also become a symbol of wealth, and in the perception of the Moorish people, the larger the lip plate means the more beautiful, even if we can't imagine why a plate with lips hanging on it can cover the entire face will become a symbol of beauty, but as a culture of the clan, we should still respect it.
However, the origin of the lip plate is not because of beauty, but on the contrary, it is caused by ugliness. Everyone knows that since they are nomadic people, it is natural that there will be direct tribal wars. It is said that a long time ago, in order to prevent the women of their own tribe from being robbed in tribal conflicts, the Moorish tribe put lip plates on their faces, so that for the Moldy women with poor posture, other tribes naturally did not plunder. So after the baptism of time, the lack of lips gradually evolved into a symbol of Moldy culture and beauty.
Today, the lip plate is synonymous with the Moorish tribe, although we can't understand it, so that we will find it ridiculous and funny, but this is indeed the culture of the Belief of the Moorish tribe, more like a national totem, so we must respect it.
