If we talk about Mien people, we will think of “who have kindness, friendship and peacefully” Usually Mien people are diligent and skillful in business, like cleanliness and have a good interpersonal relationship. When guest visits their house, the Miens welcome the guest with hot tea or water and prepare a table of food for the guest. During meal time, the head of the family or the son will sit together with the guest and take care of his needs. Usually, they will serve alcohol to the guest as a form of kind gesture.
Believe and the manners.
Mien believes that the universe has its own regulations and customs. Humans maintain good relationship with nature both physically and spiritually. The traditions are reflective of the considerate and peace-loving nature of the Miens, as they avoid offensive behaviour to others and enjoy harmony within the village as well as in the family. Miens try to adapt themselves to the social rules and customs and behave accordingly to traditions and cultures. The traditional practices are passed down to from generations to generations. They also have great respect for the spirit and god, and maintain connections with them by offering of food. Mien make a lot of promises in their life and these include promises of marriage between the man and woman, promise to adopt a child with the god and also pray to asked help from the spirit to be better after sickness, Pray to the god to support them to be rich in the future. The villagers will keep their promise and do not break them.
