The Miao people in western Hunan still have the practice of dancing to the moon. On a breeze and moonlit night, young boys and virgins go to the top of the forest in the mountains to sing and dance in antiphonal style.
Even if the two are not acquainted with each other, they can still make an appointment to get engaged.
The engagements of some young men and women from ethnic minority groups have a unique flavor.
The engagement token of the Yao people in Longhui is an oil-paper umbrella. If the girl's family wants to, they will tie 12 triangular silk thread bundles with various colored fabrics and silk threads and hang them on the support bones of the paper umbrella; the Dong people in Huaihua use thorn chicken.
To make love, on a bright moonlit night, young men and women meet together accompanied by their partners. The man pierces the comb of the big rooster he brought and drops the chicken blood into the wine. The two parties drink and swear to be united forever.
The weddings of ethnic minorities each have their own set of etiquette, which are joyful, warm and full of fun.

When the bride arrives at her husband's house, the groom's elders bring a basin of water with a silver bracelet in it. The bride and her husband's family use this basin of water to wash their faces.
It is said that after washing the "harmony face", the whole family can live in peace and harmony.
Tujia weddings are unique. When a girl gets married, she sings a "weeping song". When seeing off the bride, the girl and her mother sing a "salan song." When the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber, singers sing "celebration songs" and "guest greeting songs."
The Yao people in southwestern Hunan have a custom of "bride snatching". When the groom goes to meet his bride, the bride avoids her and the groom chases her. This happens three times before the bride is considered married.
