Hong Kong media South China Morning Post reported that it is almost the only ethnic minority to wear hot pants and maintain an open sexual relationship after marriage, and that men still touch women's chests during the festival.
Fewer than 20,000 people of the Yicher clan, a branch of Yunnan Province 'Hani clan, are currently maintained.
They attract attention for their unique and open culture.
First of all, these women are considered to be the first people to wear mini shorts in China.
They wear traditionally pointed, cone-shaped, white-clad hats, navy-colored costumes, and reveal their legs with black or navy-blue hot pants throughout the year.
Wearing mini shorts is presumed to be due to the fact that these wives live deep in the mountains and that short pants are more convenient for manual labor in the fields.
There is also the traditional belief that women with thick, muscular legs are attractive.
This means that women's ability to work represents beauty and health.
This family has a free love custom.
Couples can date and enjoy their relationships to their heart's content after their engagement.
Traditional houses have small, separate rooms outside the living room space, where girls are free to meet men when they turn 14.
These women can get married several times in their lifetime, and the price of the bride is twice as high as the previous marriage.
Locally "The more married women get, the richer they getThere is also a saying that ".
After marriage, even before giving birth, these women can maintain an open love relationship. You can even bring your lover home, according to the media.
However, once you have a child, free love is strictly prohibited, and if you violate it, you will be kicked out of your house.
This family has different unique customs.
Women don't wear shoes while they're alive. Only after death are the shoes embroidered with beautiful decorations worn. This means that a woman's soul crosses mountains and rivers and returns to her hometown.
The sexual openness culture of this clan is more prominent during the festival.
At the festival called 'Girl's Day', young Yatu women sing and dance in the mountains and wait for their male partners.
During the festival, it is possible for men to touch a woman's chest as long as the woman allows. This is a sign of greeting.
In the case of unmarried women, both chests can be touched, and in the case of married women, only the right chest is allowed. According to local media, the left chest belongs to the husband.
