Yunnan, a minority, why do men have to become monks, otherwise they will be regarded as "savages"?
First, customs and people's feelings

In Yunnan, the Dai people are an excited Hinayana people. When their children reach the age of five, they will be sent to temples to become monks. The short time is seven or eight days, and the long time is many years. This person thinks that sending a child to a temple for a few days is particularly learned, and it also means that the child has found it and will be respected by his family and society when he returns home. If a child has never been to a temple, he will be regarded as a barbarian, so the child will not be respected.

Second, religious belief.

In Yunnan, people have this custom of religious belief. They think that Buddhism is particularly sacred, so they are also very religious. This religious belief has been passed down for more than 1000 years, so when they go to Yunnan, they will see many young monks walking around the temple, which is also because their local customs and habits will send their children to the temple for a few days and then go home.

Third, religious customs.

Dai people have such a religious custom, that is, to let their children become monks and make them look educated. If they don't do this, they will be looked down upon, so we will see many young granddaughters wearing cassock, but their childishness can't be concealed. In this way, they let their children know from an early age that they should abandon evil and be good, that is, let their nation inherit a peaceful and kind nature.

Many tourists will know that they are very excited about the Buddha when they travel to Yunnan, so it can be seen that many people will worship the Buddha there devoutly, hoping that they and their families will be safe and auspicious, so there are also many temples in Yunnan.
