Is the colorful braid on the street of Lijiang a widow's head?

The widow's braid is completely untenable. Naxi nationality is a matriarchal clan society. All the men in a big family are "uncles", and there is no "husband" role in the family. Since there is no "husband", how can there be a widow? Besides, why would a stupid woman want to tell the world her misfortune by tying a few braids? This statement must not be the Naxi people's cultural tradition of advocating free love, but it coincides with the complete materialization of women in China culture, which divides women into different grades, waiting for men to pay the price to choose, and women are forced to do so if they don't want to. According to the rigorous textual research of folklore experts, it is believed that Lijiang braid may have two sources. One is the new cultural phenomenon of making colorful silk bracelets for children before Yunnan Torch Festival, which symbolizes the combination of peaceful and auspicious traditions and the tradition of braiding Tibetan compatriots. The other is the product of the combination of colored silk thread symbolizing peace and auspiciousness and hip-hop culture in Europe and America, which is a localized and improved hip-hop culture. As for those who slander Lijiang braid as "widow braid", most of them are tour guides and bus drivers. The main reason may be that it takes a long time to compile Lijiang, which may delay the trip of other tourists. It is also possible that weaving Lijiang will shorten tourists' shopping time and reduce their income. Therefore, they don't want tourists to make up Lijiang.
