Hawaiian hula dance
In old Hawaii, the social hierarchy was strict.The Karp system divides people's ranks and stipulates that men are superior to women.The highest social ranks are chiefs and priests, the lowest are slaves, and the middle are civilians.The Kapp system stipulates where people of different grades fish and hunt, where they farm and harvest, where they swim and play, what they eat, and how they dress. Violators are capital offences.Hawaiians believe in gods and fatalism. They believe that the power of God depends on the seniority and age of God's family, so the status of people depends on the status of the family in society and the seniority and age of people in the family.The older the seniority, the older the qualification.Hawaiians believe that anything that has life has "mana", which is the air and spirit obtained from the ancestors and gods.Hawaiians believe that after death, the soul of the ancestors will always come back to bless their descendants.But ordinary people have little patience. They can't always get it from the gods in the sky like the chief.In order to protect their numbness, people are very taboo about giving their personal clothes to others.
Many modern traditional Hawaiians still believe that pillows cannot be trampled or sat on.When a man goes fishing, his family should not ask him where he is going, nor entertain guests when he is away from home. People who go to sea should not take accompanying bananas, or they will have bad luck.
Modern Hawaiian customs have been integrated into the customs of people all over the world.When you visit a Hawaiian family, you must take off your shoes before entering.In Hawaii, suits are worn only when attending weddings, courtrooms and funerals, which is a compromise between Hawaiian local customs and Western customs.
