Matriarchal Society in China: "Nonbinding Serial Monogamy" - Ricky Qi

Remote and isolated groups of people offer glimpses into a more culturally diverse past where populations created customs without the influence of interfering governments or technology like television. The Moso people, who live in southwestern China, offer a glimpse into a minority group where, for centuries, society revolved around matriarchs, rather than being run by a man, as is the case in most other societies around the world. National Geographic Young Explorer Ricky Qi is making a film "Under One Roof," that portrays the Moso and also depicts their custom of "walking marriages" which is a type of non-binding serial monogamy, where men help raise the offspring of their sisters, rather than their own.
