Although we have come to the era of equality between men and women, but this era will still put forward various requirements for women, requiring that the female body is fit. Although many women have achieved independence now, in order to be the highlight of the crowd and have a proud figure, they still deliberately control their diet and strengthen exercise. However, in some primitive tribes around the world, they do not make demands on the body shape of women, but on the body shape of men.
In Africa, there is a special primitive tribe, the tribe is a big belly for beauty, in the tribe the bigger the belly of the man can attract girls like, the man with the biggest belly, is able to marry the tribe’s most beautiful girls. Africa, a barren land, has also nurtured many primitive tribes. As this region is very barren and little affected by the industrial Revolution, it has largely retained the original flavor of civilization, which is also unfortunate.
Therefore, when we want to understand the inheritance of civilization and the development of human society, we can actually go to the primitive tribes in Africa and have a look at the living conditions of the primitive tribes under the civilized society, so that we can understand the evolution and history of human development. A tribe in Africa whose beauty is considered big bellies is the Bodi tribe in Ethiopia. In fact, most primitive tribes had limited living conditions, so men needed to go hunting. Therefore, men’s bodies were very strong. Although not everyone had eight-pack abs, their bodies still had obvious muscle lines.
But in the Bodi tribe, men here are not thin for beauty, not to have muscles for beauty, but to have a big belly for beauty, all the men here will try to have a big belly. In order to select the most beautiful men in the tribe, the tribe holds a special festival every year to select the men with the biggest bellies. And the man was crowned the most beautiful man. At the end of the festival, the man would marry the most beautiful woman of the tribe.
Before the pageant begins, all the men will prepare at home, of course, the preparation time will be changed according to the different conditions of the family. For example, people with good family conditions may have started to prepare half a year ago, and people with average family conditions may start to prepare three months ago. All men do the same preparation before the pageant festival begins, they just need to eat and sleep at home.
It seems that this job is very simple, but it is very difficult to lock someone in the house for three months or six months, just eat and sleep, try not to move as much as possible, and reduce the consumption of calories as much as possible. At the same time, in order to achieve the goal of rapid weight gain, men here will drink more milk and cow’s blood.
On the opening day of the pageant, all the men covered themselves in mud and walked into the arena with their paunches. Cheers rang out around the arena as people eagerly expected the most beautiful man to walk into the arena. Although men with a big belly, travel is very inconvenient, but they will try to put the belly forward, let others see their proud achievements, let people see their most beautiful place. During the beauty pageant ceremony, all the men will dress up and walk around a big tree in mysterious circles, showing off their proud bodies to the tree. The criteria for selecting the most beautiful men here is also very simple, that is, whoever has a big belly will be the most beautiful man.
After the ceremony, the tribe would also kill a cow as a sacrifice to the gods, and the most beautiful man would marry the most beautiful woman of the tribe immediately after the pageant. The reason why men of Bodi tribe have the name of big belly is actually related to the local poor living environment. As early as 3,000 years ago, the Bodi tribe came to Ethiopia in order to escape the disaster of war. Because of the remoteness of the area, the Bodie tribe found a natural barrier, allowing them to live here in peace. But the barren land also hindered their life, so the Bodi tribe believed that only fat was the most beautiful, so their criteria for selecting the most beautiful man was very simple and rough, the one with the big belly would be the most beautiful man.
Any kind of phenomenon is caused by special living conditions and special social systems. When we have the opportunity to visit and travel in different regions, we must learn to respect the culture there. Only when we learn to respect the culture, can we achieve peace and development in a real sense. The Bodie tribe’s love of compost meat stems from their aversion to poverty and their desire for a state of abundance.
