Zhongdian been to a lot of my friends tried to persuade me not to rerun the Lugu Lake, and said that lake with Zhongdian Haizi similar, not much features. But I still insisted on going to the lake. I think that attracted me here, not only is the mystery of the lake, as well as live here, follow our ancestors abandoned the social formation of the Mosuo people.
The so-called Moso style: Male not married, women do not marry; night lad guesthouse; 27, eight small group be separated mother; heavenly Jade Emperor, Mosuo uncle ... ... talked about, are the singular form of society - matriarchal .
As the name suggests, matrilineal clan that is here to have the women in the supremacy of men in here, just as the social productive forces and the role of procreation, without the need bear any responsibility for the family. And China's five thousand years of feudal society from top to bottom complete transfer of a male superiority. The family burden rests squarely on the women's delicate body, but that does not crush Moso woman's shoulders, but everything to do very impressive, and thus make everyone happy to pass this tradition.
Lugu Lake to the vehicle, the driver Jiugen we say, and their home was his aunt at the masters, the whole family had to listen to when the family's instructions. Young men and women to the adult ceremony (13 years) future, they can embark on marriage. Taking marriage, do not mean marriage, nor marry, in fact, almost Jiugen cohabitation. Generally speaking, young men and women can participate in a bonfire, dance, to singing in antiphonal style, find her lover on the hook hook heart and reflects the other side, it's a reach should pursue. Assia bull Once you find him at night rendezvous will be to the woman's home, but it met during the day, and have to pretend that no special friendship, in such a situation should be maintained up to have children in order to become clear from the ground.
Have children later, the child by the mother or uncle's care in general, and my father is no need to make parenting obligations. Of course, the conditional can choose to buy some holiday gadget gift their children. However, there will be no more. King of the village take the marriage Alazhaxi told us that he had had 26 Assia, and now this gave him birth to a child, two were settled down for the time being, but uncertain when it will break up; the event broke up, even if the Both Starting afresh, or do not envy each other. But a very sincere hope that the other party happy, which is outside your people, may be impossible, right? Addition, there is the issue of maintenance elders, for you, the home has a few brothers and sisters, adult new families after their marriage, and tend to the elderly at home on nobody, and you push me I push you. We Mosuo people, adults are not home, my family is my mother's family! Therefore, even if the elderly are at home, and we support them for several brothers and sisters, by the head of household arranged. This you will be resolved without us better.
Although this kind of life for us, a little "uncivilized" and mean, but they raised some issues, perhaps we should speechless. Allowing the evolution of modern society, left the road, after all, its advanced social formation of the Department, ah!
I think the taste of the Lugu Lake is really a bit primitive, not that that material, but in them the habit of always keeping a little taste of public ownership. Rowing to send visitors out of lake tours, bonfire nights, accommodation and other meals are the classic tourist projects, which they are "rich with the profits" - the implementation of duty system, each week for one person is responsible.
However, there is one point from start to finish we have consensus, the Mosuo people respect women, especially mothers, maternal love is great! This perception seems to pass very far very far from the ancient times ... ...
