Peru's humanistic customs?

Peru is a multi-ethnic country, which has been formed by the integration of different nationalities in the past five centuries. Before the Spanish colonial rule, Indians lived in Peru for thousands of years, but due to the spread of infectious diseases, their population dropped from about 9 million in the 1960s to 600,000. During the colonial rule, Spaniards and Africans flooded in and merged with the aborigines. After Peru's independence, European immigrants from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain gradually settled down. After the abolition of slavery, China people began to work in the countryside in A.D. 1850 and became an influential nation. In 2008, Chinese in Peru accounted for about 10%, most of them were immigrants from Guangdong and Fujian, and some of them did not understand Chinese. Other immigrants include Arabs and Japanese.

Language and religion

1993, Spanish is the main language in Peru and the first language of 80.3% Peruvians over 5 years old. Some Indian dialects are also used in some areas, the most important of which is Quechua, which is the first language of 16.5% population. 3% and 0.2% of Peruvians speak other mother tongues and foreign languages as their first languages, respectively. According to the census results of 1993, 89% of the population call themselves Catholics, 6.7% believe in evangelical theology, 2.6% believe in other religions, and 1.4% have no religious beliefs.

Peruvians are used to shaking hands when meeting guests and saying goodbye in social situations. When boyfriends meet, they usually hug and pat each other on the shoulder and back. Peruvian women are used to kissing each other (kissing each other on the cheek) when they meet, and they keep making friendly sounds or greeting each other. Anyway, flowers can be used as gifts. Peruvians have the characteristics of Latin nation. They are hospitable. It's best to give them a discount when they are obedient, and they can't believe everything. Some of them are often unpunctual. During the commemoration period of 65438+ 10 and 165438+ 10 in Lima every year, bullfighting competitions are held in ACHO Square every Sunday. The vast majority of Peruvian residents believe in Catholicism. The Chibalo people in Peru regard wizards as gods and worship them very much. Peruvians are particularly afraid of the word "death". If you curse others with "death", it will definitely cause a big fight. Inca Indians in Peru hold exorcism festivals regularly every September. Because September is the rainy season. Plague spreads easily. In order to drive away diseases, everyone should fast on the first day of the full moon after the autumnal equinox. In the evening, get together and bake a tortilla with children's blood. After taking a bath, people use this bread to wipe their heads, faces, chests, shoulders and legs, thinking that it can eliminate the pain. Then wipe the threshold with this bread to prove that the whole family fasted and purified themselves. Peruvians taboo "13" and "Friday". I think these are unlucky numbers and dates. If you meet them, you will be in big trouble. They are afraid of crows. People think crows are ominous birds, which bring people the impression of bad luck and disaster. They are taboo to give swords as gifts. I think giving these things is breaking off friendship. They don't eat grotesque foods such as sea cucumbers in their diet.
