National characteristics of Hani nationality
Most Hani people live halfway up the mountain and build villages according to the mountain situation. Red River, Yuanyang, Lvchun and other places are inhabited by earth-walled grass-topped buildings, with stone mats and wooden columns as columns. The earth wall is made of thatched roofs and some tiles. This building has three floors: the upper, middle and lower floors. The lower level is livestock, the middle level is people and food, and the upper level is fruits and vegetables. Mojiang area is mostly earthen buildings with flat roofs and interconnected rooms. Xishuangbanna lives in a bamboo building with a balcony next to it, which is very unique. Hani people generally use their own dyed and woven navy blue homespun to make clothes. Men wear double-breasted jackets and trousers and wrap their heads in black or white cloth. In Xishuangbanna, you wear a right-handed coat, decorated with two rows of large silver pieces along the lapel and wrapped in black cloth on your head. Women often wear collarless tops with right lapels and trousers, and the shoulders, lapels, cuffs and trouser legs of the clothes are inlaid with colored lace. Women in Xishuangbanna and Lancang wear short skirts, leggings, strings of silver ornaments hanging on their chests and round hats inlaid with small silver bubbles. Some women in Mojiang and Yuanjiang wear long skirts or wrinkled skirts, and some wear pants slightly above their knees, that is, embroidered belts and waists. Women distinguish whether they are married or not in clothing and decoration, some are single and double braids, some are drooping braids and braids, some are the color of belts, and so on. The family form of Hani nationality is basically monogamy, which is quite strict in Xishuangbanna. It is generally believed that polygamy does not conform to the customs of the Hani nationality. If a boy cannot have children for many years after marriage, he is allowed to marry a concubine. Young men and women are free to fall in love before marriage, but marriage requires parents' consent, and arranged marriage is also practiced in some areas. Mojiangbi tourists have the habit of "stepping on the road" to get engaged, that is, after both men and women fall in love, the old people of both sides walk together for a while. If they don't meet rabbits and other wild animals on the road, they are engaged. The Hani nationality still retains the tradition of the ancient Qiangrong father-son surname system, that is, one or two words after the father's name are used as the initials of the son's name and passed down from generation to generation. The funeral is mainly cremation.
