What are the taboos of Manchu?

Manchu has a glorious history in history, especially in modern times, and it is a nation that can go down in history forever. The origin of Manchu can be traced back to 7000 years ago. During this long period of time, the Manchu people finally formed a unique Manchu culture through continuous development, and these customs and habits also have their own taboos. This article will briefly share this knowledge:

Manchu people have many dining customs and etiquette. For example, passers-by can share used cakes and meat, but generally they can't take them away, and they are not allowed to wipe their mouths after eating. When a family eats, the elders don't move chopsticks, and the younger generation never moves chopsticks; It is a habit to invite relatives, friends and neighbors to eat white meat and blood sausage when killing pigs in the New Year.

Manchu people avoid killing dogs, eating dog meat, using dog skin, and not wearing dog skin hats. Because Manchu people have been engaged in hunting for a long time, dogs are indispensable "assistants", and dogs are also used to pull sledges in winter, which has become an important tool. So Manchu people have the custom of respecting dogs. They usually keep dogs carefully and bury them when they die. They don't beat and kill dogs, they don't eat dog meat, they don't wear dog fur hats and they don't spread dog fur mats. Foreigners wearing dog fur hats will make their owners unhappy.

Many people have a bad impression of crows, and even have a sense of disgust. But Manchu is an exception. Instead of coaxing crows, I cherish them more. In Manchu inhabited areas, many people have a tall wooden pole in their yard, which is used to feed crows and magpies. There is a bucket on this wooden pole, which contains pork, pig water, rice and other foods for crows and magpies.

Manchu people regard the Western Wall as a sacred place to worship their ancestors, and are not allowed to hang clothes and paste New Year pictures here. Xikang, commonly known as "Fokang", has an "ancestor board". It is forbidden for people, especially women, to sit and lie down casually. At ordinary times, Xikang does not allow guests to rest, and it is not allowed to put dog skin hats or whips here. Avoid beating, killing and eating dog meat; Guests who don't wear a dog skin hat or a dog skin mattress are forbidden to wear a dog skin hat or a dog skin sleeve. Don't cross the tripod of the stove and fireplace, don't trample or sit down on the stove or fireplace at will; Do not bake feet, socks, shoes and boots on the stove mouth or pond; It is forbidden to throw leftover food, bones, fishbones, etc. Put it in a cooker or fireplace.
