History and culture of mauritius island.

1598, the Dutch came here and named it "Mauritius" after Prince Morris of the Netherlands.

18 10 British troops occupied mauritius island.

According to the Paris Peace Treaty of 18 14, it became a British colony and resumed its original name as "Mauritius".

From 1842, Britain introduced a large number of immigrants from India to engage in reclamation.

Under the pressure of Mauritian people's struggle for independence, Britain was forced to agree to Mao's "internal autonomy" in July 196 1.

1March 968 12 declared independence and became a member of the Commonwealth.

Since independence, we have been practicing multi-party democracy and adhering to multi-ethnic unity, harmony and cultural diversity.

The customs and habits of mauritius island are similar to the traditional worship of gods in China, and are deeply influenced by their ancestors Taoism and Buddhism. Their activities of offering sacrifices to ancestors, burning incense to worship Buddha and sweeping graves are very common in Maodao.

Among the gods they worship, Guandi Temple has the strongest incense.

There is a strange phenomenon here. Hakkas living here can be both Buddhists and Catholics.

90% of Chinese are baptized Catholics, most of whom are Hakkas.

The priests here not only set up a "Guandi Temple" for Buddhists and offered sacrifices, but also set up a shrine to Maria on the roadside for Catholics to pray.

And the flag-raising ceremony.

As early as 65438+ 1970' s, the Hakkas who drifted to Mauritius began to build a guild hall on the basis of building Guandi Temple.

In order to let children remember their roots, the guild hall has also established a Chinese school, and all classes are taught in Hakka.

After the founding of New China, the teachers and students of China School even insisted on raising the five-star red flag in Little Square in front of the guild hall every day.

Meizhou people are good at playing table tennis.

I don't want to. There are also many masters in Hakka island countries, and they often win national championships.

In the evening, you can see white balls flying around.

In the past, Hakkas had to cook three meals to cope with heavy physical labor.

But in Mauritius, people mostly live according to European habits: they only eat two meals a day, and then have some biscuits or bread at noon.

Both Hakka folks and Nanshun people have gradually adapted to this rhythm, and more and more people only eat two meals.

When eating, do as the Romans do. Many young people like to use knives, forks and plates, and gradually eliminated "chopsticks".

In terms of meeting etiquette, China people do as the Romans do, and they all put their faces on French etiquette to say hello.

The Chinese ethnic group is small, so getting married has become a top priority.

In Mauritius: Most people I meet are relatives.

Therefore, going back to my hometown to find a new wife has become a kind of "fashion" here.

Chen Yuanyuan is a Hakka.

Before getting married, she worked as a salesman in a real estate company in Shenzhen.

Because an uncle is in Mauritius, Yuanyuan met her husband.

In Mauritius, she even felt that "it is very backward here". Compared with Shenzhen, there are no tall buildings and no feasts.

Because Mauritius lives in different races, it has introduced unique eating habits of various ethnic groups, such as Indian curry, East African roast chicken, British roast beef and Hakka braised pork with plum vegetables. The island is also rich in fruits and seafood with reasonable prices and a wide variety.

Moreover, the restaurant environment in Mauritius is very good and pleasing to the eye. Eating in such a restaurant is a pleasure.

Mauritius cuisine fully embodies a strong multicultural and multi-ethnic color.

Among them, Indian food has the greatest influence, and curry and various spices are used very frequently. For example, the world-famous Indian vegetable rice Biryani is made of rice, potatoes, crocuses, cheese, vegetables and meat.

French cuisine is regarded as the local mainstream food because of the rule of France for many years, but it is also influenced by African cuisine and Indian cuisine. Spices and peppers are added to make it spicy.

As a famous fishing port, St. Louis Port is naturally rich in seafood, such as prawns and Mediterranean octopus.

The most typical Mauritian dish is chicken and shrimp curry. Shrimp is first roasted with charcoal fire, poured with gravy and curry juice, and served with pancakes or white rice.

The world-famous millionaire salad is made from the heart of palm trees. It tastes as crisp and delicate as bamboo shoots.

At first, the yield of this tree was so small that only millionaires could afford it, hence the name.
