What is the significance of marriage in Lugu Lake?
Walking marriage is a marriage mode of Mosuo people. Most residents around Lugu Lake are Mosuo people, and divorce is a unique marriage custom of Mosuo people.

Lugu Lake wedding is a marriage and family model based on feelings and aiming at sexual pleasure.

Mosuo is a matrilineal society. During the day, men and women seldom get along alone, but express their feelings to the right people by dancing and singing at parties. If a man falls in love with a woman, he will make an appointment with her during the day and then go to the woman's "greenhouse" at midnight. Traditionally, he can ride a horse, but he can't enter the greenhouse through the main entrance. Instead, you should climb up the window and hang a hat or something outside the door to show that you are dating and ask others not to disturb him. Then you must leave before dawn, and then you can leave by the main entrance. It is considered impolite to leave at dawn or after the woman's elders get up. This is the Lugu Lake wedding. In Lugu Lake, the key to maintaining the relationship between married men and women is love, and there is no economic connection. Once their feelings fade or their personalities are found to be incompatible, they can cut off their relationship at any time, so their emotional freedom is purer than marriage, but it also makes the relationship between men and women more equal, which is the purity that the current marriage lacks.

Marriage is the custom of Mosuo people in Yunnan and Sichuan. Except for a few people who get married or get married in order to increase the family working population, Mosuo people basically have no marriage system. Getting married is a way for like-minded men and women to get married from men to women, maintain their feelings and raise the next generation. Because the matriarchal society is dominated by women, all the children born are the children of the mother's family, and the biological father will openly hold a banquet at the full moon to admit his blood relationship and avoid incest with his father. Men call their mistresses "xia" and women call their boyfriends "cops".
