National customs

The Dai Code stipulates that "a thousand rivers should be built in Meng." Enriching water resources is one of the important conditions for Dai people to settle down in Dai villages.

The Dai people in Xishuangbanna are related to water, which is called the water nationality. The folk proverb says, "bubbles drift with the waves, the Dai family follows the water" and "water creates the world, and the world relies on water". The water in Dai people's mind is the milk that breeds all things and the blood source of life. In the Dai's Creation Epic Batama Ga Pang Shangluo, it is said that the blazing new trails in heaven and earth were created by mixing water with other substances. In Dai's medical treatise Huita Wuyun, Batavita (Tu), Apotadu (Water), Dazhuotadu (Fire) and Wayotadu (Wind) are interpreted as the material origin of human body. Water acts as a glue and a source of life. Dai people realize that water not only has the functions of drinking, washing, shipping, irrigation and driving water trucks, but also has the function of nurturing all things in the world.

However, because of the existence of family and village community forms, the marriage of young people is directly related to their rights and obligations to the family and village community, so they need the consent of the head of the family and village community. When both men and women are mature in love, the man invites his uncle and aunt to go to the woman for marriage.
