They changed partners when they wanted to. But a cruel Chinese emperor changed all that and forbade these relationships. Arranged marriages became the norm and there were many lovers' suicides.In this fascinating documentary filmed in Mosuo Province near the Tibetan border, we learn about a matriarchal society that seems to echo many aspects of the legendary Li Chang. There are no fathers, husbands or marriages in Mosuo society. Uncles take care of their sisters' children and act as the fathers of these children. Brothers and sisters live together all their lives in their mothers' homes. The women do all the work, including physical labor and are the bread-winners in their families. They are expected to establish harmonious households. Women are usually courted by men from miles away, who come for conjugal "visits."This colorful film also goes on to show how change is now coming to Mosuo Province. Mosuo has only been open since 1990. The first CD player and TV set have created a "mini-revolution", with dances and parties being held. The women of the village now go to a market by bus, where they are learning to shop. And the first school opened two years ago. Change is indeed on its way; the Mosuo may lose their traditions. 001356337 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001356337 546__ $$aEnglish. 001356337 650_0 $$aMatriarchy$$zChina$$zYunnan Sheng. 001356337 650_0 $$aNaxi (Chinese people)$$xSocial life and customs. 001356337 650_0 $$aWomen$$zChina$$zYunnan Sheng$$xSocial conditions. 001356337 655_0 $$aDocumentary. 001356337 7102_ $$aRadio-Télévision belge de la communauté culturelle française. 001356337 85640 $$zAccess restricted to subscribers.$$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1654985 001356337 901__ $$aASP1654985/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25661$$tbiblio 001356337 905__ $$uadmin 001356337 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356337$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356337 944__ $$a1785336$$z1003830937 001356337 945__ $$aNorth America$$cMalaysia 001356337 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356337 980__ $$aBIB 001356337 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356337 983__ $$aOnline
