Interesting love stories between a Miao man and his woman

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Who are the Miao?

The Miao is a minortiy group residing in the mountainous southern and southwestern China. They are also named Hmong. The Miao are well known for their extraordinary handmade arts and crafts like embroidery, brocade, batik, and unique silver jewelry.

During holidays, Miao people like to go singing and dancing to express their great passion for life. Holidays also offer a good opportunity for young guys to seek for their partners.

Flirting

If a man shows interest in a girl, he will follow her and may suddenly give her finger a gentle pinch. The girl will look back and give the man a sweet smile; or only ignore him if she has no interest.

Some men can find an excuse like “asking for candy” to play with girls.” He’ll ask a girl for some candy, and if she doesn’t like him, she will say, “my candy is all sold out, you can go to somewhere else to ask.” But if the girl likes the man, she would suggest, “ now follow me.” Then she leaves. Following her, the man goes to the riverside or woods to have a chat together.

Dating

When going on a date, Miao lovers have their own signs to indicate the place and time to meet. The one who gets there first will make a knot with some grass and put a unique mark on it to tell the other where to meet.

Every single sign has an implication. A bee made of couch grass means: I am waiting here, will you come? A dragonfly weaved by a vanilla plant implies: come to the same place, where I will wait for you! A grasshopper signifies: please forgive me, I can’t come to see you now. A white flower pleated with grass signifies: I won’t see you anymore because you have never kept an appointment.

When another one reaches there, she/will use the same bundle of grass to make a second knot meaning “don’t bother us”.

After meeting a few times, the couple will exchange some of their private things as a keepsake. The man gives his waistband or tobacco pipe to the girl, while the girl gives the man her silver rings,  hair pin,  or a pair of embroidered shoes.

Marriage

When a Miao couple decides to get married, they will tell their parents, who then ask a matchmaker to fix the wedding date.

If the parents don’t agree, then a funny thing happens. The man will bring some people to “break” the girl’s home at night to “kidnap” her and take her to his home. Three days past, the man’s family now send an old reputable man with a chicken to see the girl’s parents, and persuades them to agree.

On the day when they get married, a big fire will burn at the door of the man’s home to pray that their marriage will last long. In the evening, a choir with both families will sing songs for many hours until daybreak.

The songs tell how the couple met and fell in love, the basic information of their parents, grandparents, and great-grand parents. They will also tell how their ancestors moved around China throughout history.

The bride and the groom are busy with preparing the sweet rice wine for their guests during the whole night.

In some Miao areas, married women can’t go back to their parents’ home until they have a kid.

I’m C. Liu and I am very interested in Miao culture. I even have a website with some of the most beautiful examples of Miao silver jewelry available here. The best silver jewelry is produced in Miao areas: such pure silver can be hardly got in your local markets, and their workmanship is unmatchable.
