This is one of the few matrilineal clan tribes in the world.
They advocate female superiority and male inferiority, polygamous system, men are responsible for beautiful flowers, heavy makeup all day long, carry small mirrors, just to attract women's attention, and women have the absolute right to speak and choose a mate, and can go to Wushan Yunyu with the men they like at any time.
This strange tribe, named Vodabe, for thousands of years, they have maintained this tradition, living in the desert, it is difficult to be caught, it is reasonable to say that the Vodabe tribe should not be known, but they will hold a year, the world's amazing event, the Gregor Festival, also known as the Wife Stealing Festival.
Every year in September, just after the end of the rainy season, people will rush from their small homes to the plains and sing and dance for seven days to celebrate the gifts of the rainy season, but this festival also has the most important purpose: beauty pageants, men put on exquisite makeup, put on bright costumes, and show their singing and dancing in groups.
Women, as judges and spectators of the competition, choose their favorite men, which can be one or more, for a wonderful encounter, women occupy an absolute dominance, and the selected men cannot refuse.
And because the men and women who participate in the festival are mostly married couples, men will be selected by married women, and women will also choose other people's husbands, so this festival is called the Day of Wife Stealing, but I think it may be more reliable to steal husbands.
This was the first time after the six-year drought that Glevere was held, and the people of the tribe were in high spirits, and Dibe and her husband, Gio, walked 80 kilometers to the venue of the event, and in these days, they could ignore their marriage vows and choose their favorite cloud and rain object.
It is no secret that not long after Di Bei arrived, he had already found three men he liked. However, Gio's appearance also makes her feel proud, in Dibe's heart, Gio is tall and handsome, sings a good voice, and his body is sexy, that is, the most beautiful cub in this beauty pageant, there will definitely be many girls who will choose him.
The aesthetics of the Vodabe tribe are also the same, relatively single, if men have a tall figure, bright eyes, white teeth, high nose bridge, it is a proper plus, so before the start of the beauty pageant, the men who participate in the contest have to spend 6 hours dressing themselves.
To lengthen their height, they would wear long ostrich feathers on their heads, and to highlight their bright eyes, they would draw thick and dark eyeliner around them, coat their faces with thick red clay, and paint their lips as black as if they had been poisoned to show off their white teeth.
Soon, it was Gio's turn to play, he was like other men, wearing cool and bright costumes, dancing, singing, showing his proud posture, teething, staring, making as exaggerated expressions as possible, attracting the eyes of the women present, the women looked at these men one by one, if there was a favorite, they would pat him on the shoulder, which meant that you were good, I looked at you.
The scene looks very happy and harmonious, but this is not easy for the men, they need to sing and dance for several hours, and there can be no mistakes, once they make mistakes, they may lose touch with the woman they like, and gradually, The red face of the Gio brick is covered with sweat.
Five hours later, the three judges stepped forward one after another, inadvertently a gesture, and picked out their own Prince Charming, but one or two three, no Gio, he failed, he was not selected, nor did he see the woman he liked, but the problem was not big, there was a wife at home who hurt him, and when the other dewy couples began to speed-match, Dibe was still braiding his hair.
In addition to speed dating couples, of course, a champion is selected in the beauty pageant, and people will also specially nominate an unmarried woman to formulate the champion of this competition, and the champion will marry this girl.
The women of Vodabe are somewhat different from ordinary people, ten years old is basically fully developed, after the arrival of the first menstrual period, they can choose the object of the first cloud rain, this object is not necessarily the object of marriage, feel inappropriate, we can also change, women hold the absolute freedom when they are unmarried.
In addition to the absolute dominance of the women in the relationship between men and women, the women of Vodabe also held the position of the head of the family and the economic power of the family, and the beds of the Vodabe people were named after the women, and they were filled with dowries handed down from generation to generation, the treasures of the family and the herds of cattle and sheep, which were also the products of the women's names.
Even if you live alone in this life, it is also very moist, anyway, for them, most men are just the spice of life, women have absolute wealth and status confidence, men are also confident in their appearance, so the Vodabe tribe is also called the most conceited and smelly tribe.
However, in recent years, under the impact of modern civilization, such as the Wordabe people who live outside the world, they are also slowly connecting with the outside world, their festivals have begun to allow foreigners to watch the ceremony, and various scientific and technological products have begun to appear in life, modern civilization has assimilated human beings, and when young people begin to make a living in big cities, the traces of tradition will slowly fade.
These civilizations that once existed on Earth may suddenly disappear one day, leaving only these images of the past, but at least there are these images that can tell people not to forget where they once came from.
