When the welcoming ceremony was held, Maori men and women lined up on both sides, and the venue was silent. After a long silence, suddenly a strong man with bare feet ran to the guest.
He waved sticks and spears, danced, shouted, grimaced, stared, stuck out his tongue in front of the guests, making people feel scared, and even pointed his spear at them. But don't be afraid. Maori have no malice. This is a sign of friendship.
Maori are indigenous and ethnic minorities in New Zealand, belonging to a mixed type of Mongols and Australians. The common Maori language belongs to Austronesian-Polynesian language family. Now use the newly created Latin alphabet. Originally believed in Maori primitive religion, there were priests and wizards, and there were many taboos. Now most of them believe in Protestantism. It is said that their ancestors moved from society islands in central Polynesia after 10 century.
Later, they married and lived together with the local indigenous melanesians, so they were slightly different from other Polynesians in physical characteristics. According to official New Zealand documents, Maori are aborigines who moved out of Taiwan Province Province more than 4,000 years ago. When they visited the ancestral temple of the Ami Ba Tai tribe in Taiwan Province, they found that the doors and windows were open and the structures such as building beams and columns were the same as those of the Maori gathering place.
