The customs and habits of each ethnic group naturally have their own differences, and the same is true for the customs and habits of the Manchus, which are rich and unique. However, some of these customs are not only unique but also quite weird. Have you heard of the "Three Weird Manchus"?

? In the past, the Manchus and their ancestors had long lived a life of fishing and hunting, which was not only difficult but also often associated with snakes, scorpions, mosquitoes and insects.

It is said that even the most venomous snakes are afraid of the grease in tobacco pipes. Therefore, smoking is not only a pastime and hobby, but also plays a role in self-defense and safety.

This custom is also closely related to the early fishing and hunting life of the Manchu people.
