由于受认识水平的限制,生活在云南西部的阿昌族民众往往把妇女在月经期间正常的流血现象与恐惧和死亡的观念联系起来,认为经血会带来极其可怕的后果,进而把所有曾与月经有任何联系的人与物都看成是不洁的。在阿昌族社会,针对经期妇女的这种错误认知起到了负面的影响,行经妇女被看作一个特殊身份的群体而受到村民的歧视,她们的行为方式也受到各种传统禁忌与习俗的制约。 Due to the limited level of awareness, Achang people living in western Yunnan tend to associate women’s normal bloodshed during menstruation with the notion of fear and death, believing that menstrual blood will have extremely terrible consequences, People and things with any connection are considered unclean. In the Achang society, such misconceptions about menstruating women have had a negative impact. They are discriminated by villagers through the groups they regard as a special status. Their behavior is also restricted by various traditional taboos and customs .
