The Genre Paintings of Taiwan’s Aboriginal Peoples: Welcoming the Bride

Most of the Taiwan aboriginal society was matriarchal by nature, with the man marrying into the women’s family. Young men and women chose their own marriage partners. After the wedding, the bride and groom, hand in hand, returned to the woman’s home. For this reason, marriage was termed “khansiu” (lead by the hand).
