I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm an introverted extrovert and need to be constantly on the move. i want to explore other ways of existing.here's the most utopian society, which is in tibet, that i've heard about in awhile: The Mosuo People who live around the Lugu Lake. isolated from the outside world, this minority society keeps their unique ancient traditions until today. This is a secret "Girls' Kingdom". It remains full of many maternal characters , but has developed some nice elements to form a happy, peaceful and generous society.It would be very interesting to explore the secret of the mystery of this Girls' Kingdom - How would they solve some serious problems in our modern society (Single mothers, marriage problem, women's right, old people etc)?Mosuo People are marriage-free. When the Mosuo girls reach 15 years of age, and the boys reach 17, they are allowed to start their love affairs. The lovers (Called "Female Azhu" and "male Azhu") find each other freely. Mosuo people are good in singing and dancing. The young people sing and dance together in Musou language to express their love.The Musou girl has a special "Azhu" house to meet her lover. Her lover visits her during night and leave at morning. If the girl wishes to stop the love affair, she closes the door of her "Azhu House" to the man. Then the man will not come again. The love affair is finished. The lovers have no economic or any legal relationship. It is based on mutual love and affection only. The willingness of the females is very respected.The children grow up with their mother and uncles. They inherit their surnames from their mother. They don't even know who is their father. Woman is the head of the family. Women are in charge of most works in the society. These "single mothers" are happy. The uncles play the male part in the family and look after the boys. Such blood connections may be more stable than the love-based marriage & duty.The relationships between the members of the Mosuo large families are very nice. They are always looking after each other, caring and pay respect & priority to the old people, and the ill and disabled people.The Mosuo people's religion is Nature. The Gamu Mountain is their Goddess Mountain. In August "Turn-Mountain Festival", the Mosuo people will come together, climbing the Gamu Mountain to pay their respects.what a unique and progressive way of life, eh? http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj249/ebsterling/images.j pg [IMG]http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj249/ebsterling/ima ges.jpg[/IMG]
