Your family may have some traditions that you embrace (or that make you cringe), but they probably can’t hold a candle to what traditions the Long-horn Miao minority in China have. The Long-horn Miao have unique head dresses that they bring out for special occasions. These head pieces are oversized and look a little silly, but that’s not the strangest part.
They are fashioned out of the hair of their ancestors.

Even though this tradition may seem downright bizarre to you, it’s impossible to judge other cultures. Cows used to be considered sacred in that area of China, so the Longhorn people probably initially created the headdresses to honor that animal. It’s amazing that such a longtime tradition is still going strong; they are making history today.
