帕勞是一個依然維持著母系氏族的社會，在這個小小的島國里，女人絕對是至高無上的，她們決定一個家族、乃至整個國家的命運，盡管帕勞沒有女王，也沒有女皇。正因為帕勞是母系社會，所以帕勞人喜歡生女孩兒，女孩子剛生下來沒兩天，就要舉行一個隆重的儀式，那就是剛生下嬰兒的產婦要和親戚及鄰居們一起在她們的家門口狂歡，慶祝小女孩的誕生。

Palau is a society that still maintains the matriarchal clan. In this small island country, women are absolutely supreme. They decide the fate of a family and even the whole country, although Palau has no queen or queen. It is precisely because Palau is a matriarchal society that Palau people like to give birth to girls. Within two days of the birth of a girl, a grand ceremony will be held, that is, the pregnant women who have just given birth to a baby will revel at the door of their home with their relatives and neighbors to celebrate the birth of a little girl.

帕勞人一般比較胖，體質也挺棒，女人們也是如此，胖其實也是帕勞女人的一種自豪，在她們的眼里胖胖的身材或許就是一種美吧？生產后的產婦依然是非常的活躍，她的身上涂上亮光光的一層油，就像健美運動員身上的那種油亮差不多，她和別人一起載歌載舞地瘋玩，人們還要把一盆盆的水潑到她的身上，剛生產后的產婦也不怕中“月子風”。這種狂歡的場面很是熱鬧，我曾經遇見過好幾次，我把車子停在路邊，擠進去跟著看熱鬧、瞎起哄，她們也不在意我這個老外，只管興致勃勃手舞足蹈地跳她們的舞，有時還會朝我出鬼臉，因為不少的人也認識我。

Palau people are generally fat and have a good constitution. So are women. Fat is actually a pride of Palau women. In their eyes, fat body may be a kind of beauty? The pregnant woman after giving birth is still very active. She is coated with a bright layer of oil, just like the oily one on a bodybuilder. She plays crazy with others singing and dancing. People have to pour pots of water on her. The pregnant woman just after giving birth is not afraid of the "moon wind". This carnival scene is very lively. I have met it several times. I parked my car on the roadside and crowded in to watch the excitement and make a fool of myself. They don't care about me, a foreigner. They just dance their dances in high spirits and sometimes make faces at me, because many people know me.
