For the first time i got to experience different types of foods, weddings, blind dates and how rich in cuture China really is.
By far learned the most I have ever learned in China and the most welcoming people.
Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed this Chinese holiday time. ❤️

Hi, Lizzy! Not only have I, as a Han Chinese, never witnessed a Muslim wedding, but even the weddings of Han Chinese people vary from city to city and village to village. Even within a distance of fifty kilometers, weddings can differ significantly, let alone hundreds or thousands of kilometers apart. In such cases, people may not even understand each other's dialects, let alone wedding customs. If someone invites you to attend a wedding, you must go. I guarantee that each time will be a unique experience for you.Furthermore, what you attended was not a blind date but a formal betrothal ceremony, where both sets of parents were involved. It is a highly traditional practice. Nowadays, in the Han Chinese culture, blind dates typically involve direct meetings between the boy and the girl, with no parental involvement. It is interesting to observe that the Muslim community still maintains this traditional betrothal ceremony.
Yesss, i think its still mindblowing to me how big China is because each village etc has their own kind of traditions, can't ever be bored in China right? 😂❤️
Alex from Xinjiang has a video about 9 months ago on 8 Chinese minorities wedding in China. Of course the typical western troll would claim he is being paid. But I have seen similar videos many places.
@@lizzyinchina Happy Chinese New Year！
Happy Chinese New Year Everybody! Prosperous 2024 to all! 🍊🍊
Happy and healthy ☺️
China has really made you grow; intellectually, culturally, and socially! Its amazing; so glad that you left SA to experience the REAL WEORLD out there; everything is not just rugby; boerewors and brandewyn!! :) :) Take care !from Canada!
Both Chinese mega cities and villages are flourishing and equality of life are improving . The diversity of cuisines, traditional festivals, customs, dialects , landscape, public parks, nature reserves and conservation as well as the safety , comfort, scale, scope and speed infrastructure development, housing, healthcare facilities and public transport are impressive. Thank you for sharing your experiences in China.
My wife is Chinese and constantly keeps filling my bowl. I am English and was brought up to clear your plate before having seconds. It's hilarious. I have to keep moving my bowl away. Ha ha.
Hi Lizzy, happy Chinese new year! Good to know that you had a great time in the small village, the baby is so cute and she likes you😊❤❤
Hi. Happy Chinese New year 🇨🇳☺️! I really had a great time and cant wait to experience more culture!
What a different way to spend Chinese New Year and to enrich your experience!! 👍🏻
Exactly! Loved every minute of it, even the ones i didnt know what to do 😂
Chinese New Year 2024. Year of the Dragon. Looking like it will be a very interesting year for the entire world.
It definitely will be, hopefully a healthy and happy year
you have open minded and really respect the local tradition culture! I can image how shock you feel when experiencing the life in village. Blind date is very old traditional way for Chinese. It still exits in some villages but very rare in towns, cities already. Sharing food is one of the most important part of Chinese reunion. Chinese New year is to celebrate with family with joy and give best wishes to each other for new year! Enjoy your days! Happy loong year!
Happy new year, may you be healthy and happy. Yes i love learning about Chinese culture more and more
I came from southern part of China (many years ago), the "go between" person was a common part of the process for " Blind date", some of them are doing it as a job or occupation, they arrange the meeting between the two families, they usually carry many photo of the available girls for preselection and the male candidate pick out what is most interesting to him first.
You can probably re-visit them for the Corban Festival (aka Eid’l Fitr).
Fresh new feature for the Chinese Muslim folks in your future vlogs
哈哈哈哈哈，人们给你碗里夹菜是欢迎你，怕你吃不饱😂
I will be full for the next few days 😂😂 but very welcoming
@@lizzyinchina他/她们把他们认为好吃的菜夹给你，表示他们好客、尊敬你。你若不喜欢， 你要先说谢谢！ 我自己来,我自己来(夹菜)。
One take away from your video is commonality as Chinese even though we are from different regions and even ethnic group, they do the the same things like fighting to get to the Bride and have to bride with red envolops like we do in Hong Kong and Macau which are mostly from Cantong region! We all do have similar traditions for different celebrations with some variants!
When a foreigner "expert" proclaim they "know" China after a few years in China, making statements like we are lots of different group forced together with authoritarian government, blah blah blah, I just shake my head and say live yhere 50 years before you think you know! Coz all these traditions developed over hundreds if not a thousand years!
Amazing how many different traditions this big country has 😁😁
Your videos Always Cheers us Up.
🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Keep Up Your Great Work, Lizzy.
谢谢博主分享视频！中国有56个民族每个民族的习俗都不同。所以中国所有的民族包容大同。
Lizzy, you are so open-minded to Chinese culture, and I, too, am learning from you via your videos. Thanks. I have my own opinions on this matter. In any other muslim countries, the muslim practices will take precedent over the local regional cultures in any important family events. However, Chinese cultures with 5000 years of history are so overwhelming present that it takes precedent over the muslim religious practices in any important family events like the wedding you just attended. The Islamic religion has only been only around less than 2000 years. I am not trying to say that the islamic practices are discarded in the wedding you have just attended. What I am saying is that the chinese practices you have observed will also be present in the fabric of all chinese wedding ceremonies and practices in all over China; but not the muslim practices if the family is not muslim. Western foreigners failed to understand that China is a civilization, not a state. Therefore, any religions or ideologies that come into China will eventually have Chinese characteristics.
Thanks so much for sharing your own opinion, all of us reading appreciate it and all views are welcome here to share and talk about! So thanks a lot ☺️
A Muslim new year tradition is quite different from that of a traditional Han new year (traditional Chinese new year). For Muslims, they are a monotheistic belief but for traditonal Chinese, we have so many gods and we do a lot of thanksgiving to different gods at the end of a year and it makes the whole practices of new year celebration quite different.
Wow okay, would love to one day also experience different things
Chinese are inclusive, including religions and gods. There are probably more imported religions in China than home-grown ones. On the other hand, there are more home-grown gods than imported ones. Quite a number of the so called Chinese "gods" are actually deceased heroes. For example, the Red-faced Guan Di, worshipped by soldiers, policemen, firemen ... etc was a army general in the Three Kingdoms era (220 - 280 AD). He was a human being, but after he passed away he became a god because he was such a hero when alive.
Muslims are believers of Islam. Just like they can believe in Christianity. They can be Chinese. Those look like Han Chinese Muslim. Muslims are a religious group; Chinese is an ethnicity.
Thank you Lizzy 🌹❤
Chinese Muslim wedding.
感谢您对中国文化的热爱及分享。祝您：新年快乐，万事如意。
Good post. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Babysitting kids is more tiring than running a marathon 😂
翻译软件太糟糕了，很多翻译都错的比骄离谱，建议换一个翻译软件
So happy to see you so happy! Continue to have a great time and enjoy China!
我是中国人～还没参加过少数民族的婚礼～相亲也是三十年前的事！身边的朋友都是自由相恋的！相亲挺好玩！😂😂😂
现在村镇里相亲的比例还是不低的，尤其是中西部地区的农村和少数民族地区
It sure was fun to experience this
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
thumb up, welcome, hope you enjoy and eat a lot - and be happy
Thanks so much! Had the best food and Im still full 😂
The customs of Muslims (also known as Hui ethnic group in China) are different from those of Han Chinese, but there are some similarities. The Spring Festival has been the largest and most important festival of the Han ethnic group since ancient times.
blind date is just so wrong, it is more of the West, if you have a date, and if you are not blind, it is not blind date, in ancient China, they do have blind marriage, you married to some one you may not know well. However blind date is/are not the same as blind marriage.
Thanks Lizzy for the wonderful video!
So interesting to watch how the chinese muslims in China live and their cultures. Glad that you have a wonderful experience there.
🙂🙏👍🙏🙂
🎉🎉🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉🎉🎉🎉
😊
Happy New Year ☺️
I'm Han from Southeast Asia and Lizzie knows more about China than me. Hehehe.
The customs in different parts of China are not the same, and even in the same place, there are differences between two regions, but there are always similarities, and the essence is the same? Just like a tree with only one trunk, but various branches and leaves are complex and can freely play, but they cannot deviate from the main line. This is the soul of China, the culture that has been passed down from ancient times.
她的另一个哥哥和那个女孩我们中国叫相亲。这个传统不只是穆斯林有，全中国都有这个传统。
云南就是要去少数民族的地方吃民族菜，去版纳的傣族村拍一集感受一下，还可以去保山找一下滇西小哥哈
Come on lizzy don't tell there r no handsome 🤣🤣🤣
nice video！BIG Fan from Shenzhen
I think the Hui people who are Muslims mainly live in Gansu and Qinghai. There are some in Xian of Shanxi province and Yunnan province.
Ningxia, Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Shandong,etc, basicly everywhere
Love your vid. Something i enjoyed watching too.
Thanks for sharing,. Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Lizzy, China is so vast. The tradition differs from place to place. You cannot generalize the dating/wedding/CNY.
Yup, two villages 50 km apart may have very different traditions, including dating and wedding activities. That's China.
I hope you had fun in the Potemkin Village.
Emma is so chill
😂😂😂 yeah always
What a wonderful experience to see traditional Chinese or Muslim wedding.
China has many ethnics❤ many traditions
更新了！
😁😁 welcome
看到视频里的小村，才知道为什么说中国是发展中国家，大多数老百姓还是很穷的，还需努力
中国确实是发展中国家。不过她去的这个农村是少数民族地区，比周围的汉族村庄还要更穷一些。
我没觉得穷有什么问题，只要幸福哪里都一样，很多国家村庄其实也都差不多
@@taylor88888 幸福当然是最重要的！但是能富着幸福为啥要穷着幸福呢！
I dont think its just about wroking harder, people are doing better and have a house to go to, definitely growing
穷？有地，别墅比我大城市的房子加起来还大。
Happy Chinese New Year !
10:51 the cute baby loves you. 😊
I love the baby 😁
Hi Lizzy, the reason I enjoy watching your videos is your down to earth, matter of fact way of presenting your experiences, they are always made relatable, enjoyable and uniquely Lizzy 👍
Wow thanks so much! Yeah I definitely try to just stay myself and talk about my point of view, so appreciate your comment 🥰

Amen
新春快乐🎆🍾️🎉加油💪
Are they Han Chinese but Muslim? no pork i assume!
Chinese Han and Hui/other muslim ethnic groups are different ethnic groups, muslim is not Han, but whatever Han or Muslim are Chinese
Hui is pretty much the same as Han ethnicly but changed to Muslim in diffrent dynasty. @@Ibrahim86373
🤩🤗🙏
China is too big, many of them have different customs. So you need to ask when you are in a new place. (入乡问俗，入乡随俗）
😂😂支持你理性发言
Thank you 😁
It's really interesting even for me, actually wedding culture in China are very different from province to province.
50 cars, wow, what a scene.
