What is the reason why Miao people toast with horns? Need a comprehensive answer. Thank you.
In many Miao villages in southeastern Guizhou, in order to show their enthusiasm for their guests, Miao people always receive "Niu Jiao wine". Since ancient times, Miao people have regarded plowing cattle as a treasure at home. Because cows plow fields for people every year, they have worked hard to create wealth for mankind. Miao and old people regard cows as relatives who can't talk, and they are carefully raised and cared for. When they go out, they will feed the cows with water around the cowshed. When they come back from the outside, whether it is early or late, they should first look at the cowshed and feed it with fresh grass.

Miao people all have buffalo horns, which are beautiful in appearance and engraved with patterns. When the guests arrived at Zhaimen, the well-dressed Miao girls held up croissants to toast the guests, while several girls hung two or three purple eggs on the guests' chests to show good luck. If the guests know the Miao family rules, they should hold the horns with both hands, drink them off and enter the Miao village smoothly.

Miao people believe that it is only routine and human nature to entertain guests with chicken and wine, and "drinking horn wine" is the best way to entertain guests.

Every Miao family has a wine glass made of yellow horns. This kind of horn cup is not commonly used, so it is not often drunk. Only when the eldest son and daughter-in-law get married, and the eldest daughter gets married and celebrates, will the horn cup be taken out for the "drinking horn wine" ceremony.

At the wedding ceremony, after all the guests have had three rounds of wine, the host family will invite three or five young men and women to propose a toast to the guests on behalf of the bride and groom, and each guest will propose three glasses. After drinking three glasses of "Niu Jiao wine", elders and ordinary guests can say a few words of congratulations in return for the glasses. Friends of the bride and groom, after drinking three cups of "croissant", can't rush to return the cup. If you pay it back, the toaster will make you drink three more cups. How many times will you go back and buy you a drink? If you really can't stand it, you can cleverly avoid the toaster, run out of the house and throw the trumpet glass out of the village so that the children can't find it. If the child finds the horn cup, you have to drink three more cups honestly. When you finish polishing the bottom of the glass, the toasts and guests present will thank you for bringing good luck to the bride and groom.
