"String girls" is the traditional love way of Bulang people. The love and marriage of Bulang youth are very free and supported by family and society. Whenever the moon rises, the boys put on their new clothes, hold the three sages, and come to the girl's bamboo building together, competing to impress the girl's heart with witty language and enthusiastic singing. Dressed-up girls also lit the fireplace early, opened the door, invited boys in, and expressed their love for their sweetheart in ingenious ways such as singing, handing out cigarettes and serving tea. A string of girls in the brown mountain area can go together or go alone at night. It is a common form of ideological, cultural and emotional communication between young men and women.
When men and women are deeply in love, men will propose to women. Many places in Brown Mountain use flowers as a medium to propose marriage. The young man gave the girl flowers picked from the mountain. When the girl confirmed that the young man really loved her, she chose the most beautiful flower from the bouquet and put it on her head to show her consent to the marriage.
Weddings of brown people are also unusual. A couple's wedding has to be repeated two or three times. After the first engagement, the girl was taken to the man's house to tie the thread. After that, the bride and groom went home. Although the groom will stay at his father's house every night, he will still go back to his home to work and live during the day. It was not until the second wedding that the bride officially married into her husband's family as a daughter-in-law. The third wedding is usually held after the child is born. This time, we must kill pigs and cattle, and have a wedding banquet to entertain relatives and friends in the village.
