Mingiyan recounts traditional prohibitions:When I was a child my grandmother taught us not to do the following movements: to lift legs upwards to the sky, to whistle in bed (it is a bad omen), to cross hands (this will twist one’s guts), to hold the hand behind the back (this will bring poverty), to dress untidily, to sing or cry in bed, and to take dairy products out of the house in the evening. If two women quarreled with each other (it is believed that women do so when they are possessed by evil spirits), people cut the ends of both women’s hair. It is also forbidden to return one’s pan or cup empty, after borrowing it. Nails and cut hair should be buried. Once on the road, travelers should not look back.
