(57) The Dzing-shi men build the girls' dormitory for the Totang. |

They receive some gifts at the Oulingbu. |

The parents of the smaller girls give shares of pork to the dormitory on the third day of the Oulingbu and the Dzing-shi men come and eat them. |

Totang girls go with Dzing-shi men to the fields and vice versa. Also Balang and Bala girls go with the Dzing-shi men. |

(58) The Pandzong girls work with Totang and Balang men (not Bala). But the Pandzong men don't go with their morungs to the fields but with the girls of Dzingshi. |
text: |
Pandzong and Wan-wang are considered as belonging together. Wan-wang was once much bigger, but the other Wanching morungs drove it out. |
text: |
(59) The men of the Dzing-shiu, Wan-wang and Pandzong are not allowed to put on any "lengtas" - the men of the other morungs don't allow it. |
text: |
The Dzing-shiu, Pandzong and Wan-wang men wear also a slightly different hair-dress, they have no partition across like the other morungs and the Wakching men. But also the Ang-wan-hu men didn't wear lengtas formerly, only the Thendu people have always worn lengtas. |
