Myanmarers, both men and women, have no names. They usually have a name on their names to indicate differences in gender, age, social status and rank. Men usually call themselves "prosthetic" modest; they also call them "prosthetic" to younger generations; and they say "go" to elders or people of status. It means "uncle or uncle" to show respect; it means "quo" to an ascendant or young man. For example, a man called "sweet warm" can be called "sweet warm" by his age or status, "gou seon-win" or "oh seon-win". If he's an officer, he's called "thea." but i call myself "pretty hot" or "pretty hot". And the name "duchin" in front of your name means "ownership." during the years of independence for the people of myanmar, many patriots were crowned by their own names。

For example, a daughter named "dandan" can be called "madam" or "dudan's" but she herself is generally called "madam's" and a woman still marries in her own name。

Attention is drawn to the fact that when two parties of different sexes are introduced to each other, the man cannot reach out and shake her hand if she does not show a handshake。
There is a greeting that can be used by myanmar people on any occasion: "good luck!" and the other one said, "good luck."。

The long skirt is one or two times wider than the body, without any belt, and the male dress is tied to the front with a knot and the female skirt is tied to the side. Men's skirts are often made of white veils and their tops are shorter and often unsealed. Recent myanmar women are also wearing short sleeves, but not commonly。
Myanmarans rarely wear socks on a daily basis, and they usually wear thin slippers or bare feet, regardless of the event. In the past, when visiting the houses of myanmarers, they had to take off their shoes at the door and enter the house barefoot, the custom had gradually changed, but in order to enter the pagodas or temples, both men and women, senior officials and foreign envoys had to take off their shoes. When someone sits in front of him, they must bow and be polite。
In burma, it is common for a man to have a veil or silk on his head, a turban with a horn to his right ear. This turban is called a turban。
It has been documented in historical books that cover customs began in the bulgan era, from kings to civilians, and that, unlike kings, ministers and haomen nobles, the heads of kings, ministers and nobles are to be covered; royal nobility? Quot; knitted with gold, gold threads, precious jewels, etc., in the bag; the queen's head is to be kept with a straight end of a turban, and the queen's nobility is to be left with two tails. The kit is not only a decoration, but also a symbol of power。
After a number of conversions, it has become rare for men to be covered, but this custom has not been eliminated. Today, men can buy the right sizes in the store, like hats, and fit the fine "packs" so that modern heads can be satisfied。
Housing
The zhugega building is mostly a bamboo structure in the shan village of myanmar, with two floors of grassing. Upper and lower livestock. This form of construction is said to have been invented by zhug liang. It was reported that after zhuangnam's capture, a group of soldiers left behind to settle in the border area between central myanmar and myanmar, but the soldiers were afraid to stay. It is estimated that the housing problem is due to zhugsang. So they designed a new building based on their tile hat and ordered the soldiers to fake it, so they really avoided the danger of quot; gas. This building is called the zhuge gwang hwang。
The villages of the kachin ethnic group in myanmar are located on the hills. In their houses, there are many fire ponds on one side, and in the guest room and the "ghost house" where the ghost god and ancestral tablets are placed, with red green towels and cow heads on the pillars of the house, which are not allowed in by strangers. There are two doors, the front door is alive and the back door is ghost. If a guest enters a ghost by mistake, he is punished for the sacrifice of his livestock, for the god of the ghost and for the shame of his master。
When guests visit, they enter the house and leave the horse. They enter the house barefoot and walk again, or they are considered thieves. The contents were to be placed in a designated location, with the knife hanging in the direction of the outside, and the inside would be considered an assassin。
5. Religious rituals
Myanmar is a buddhist country with a highly regarded and respected monk in society. Boys of any buddhist family have a solemn leave ceremony between the ages of 5 and 15 years, and they enter the temple for a quiet period of time, usually a week. Monks can still be popular and men cannot marry without a certain band of monks. For this reason, do not be surprised to see many monks。
6. Marriage
In accordance with myanmar's traditional practice, a young man wants to marry a girl and to tell his/her parents what he/she is thinking, they go to her home and tell her parents. If the old people agree to the marriage, young people live together. But that doesn't mean we're starting to live together, but it's the quot; the cognitive phase." two or three years later, young men and women had not changed their intentions, and that had been the case. A common feature of myanmaran marriages is that the wedding is religiously neutral, the bride is autonomous after marriage, does not change her name, has ownership of her property and can be taken away in case of divorce. Economic equality. So there's a saying in this "first feminist country in asia" that says, "when monks are thin, buffalo are fat, man is smart, woman is married."
Seven, taboo

For example, some ethnic myanmars must sleep south or east; the elderly in their home are seated at the top of the head and the rest of their children at the end of the foot; they cannot cross the river by boat on friday; and they encounter bacterial plants during their journey, the most fortunate omen, etc。
When the shan master goes out, the hostess must present a bouquet of flowers in front of the buddha's statues in order to take away the bad news of the outsider; they must not sit in the man's fixed position without the permission of the owner, whether he is a family member or a guest; they must take off their shoes on the stairs; they must eat tea, fruits, food for the guest, otherwise he will consider the guest to be rude; and they will not be allowed to blow down and whistle at the merchants' homes, which they believe will blow away the money。

Kachin men are the ones who are most repulsive about touching their heads; kachin men cannot allow women to rise above themselves in any way. For example, if a woman is in a room upstairs, a man will never come downstairs and a man will never use what she has used。
