Abstract

Hmong views of birth are different from the western views in terms of physical and biological. The views of birth in the Hmong society are natural and are the travelling of the third part of soul from a dark world to a bright one. There is a belief of giving birth, do not blare while labouring for safe labour. The mother is the one who gives birth, while the father is the one who gives life-calling the third part of the infant’s to be back the infant’s body. The infant is raised in the father’s family with the afford of the mother to teach them to be a good Hmong. The status of Hmong women is as followers and they are expected to work hard, be a good woman and a good mother. When they get married, they have to change from their patrilineal clan to be her husband’s clan until she dies. When they die, their soul will leave their body-the first part will protect their family, the second part will be back with their ancestor in the dark world and the third part will wait for reborn in the old clan. These are views, beliefs and way of life of the Hmong which their main social base is from the family. (p 263-272)
