Editing Tug of war (section)

===Burma (Myanmar)===
In [[Myanmar]] (Burma), the tug of war, called {{lang|my-latn|lun hswe}} ({{linktext|လွန်ဆွဲ}}; {{IPA|my|lʊ̀ɰ̃ sʰwɛ́|pron}}) has both cultural and historical origins. It features as an important ritual in {{lang|my-latn|[[phongyibyan]]}}, the ceremonial cremation of high-ranking [[Buddhist monk]]s, whereby the funerary pyres are tugged between opposite sides. The tug of war is also used as a traditional [[Rainmaking (ritual)|rainmaking]] custom, called {{lang|my-latn|mo khaw}} ({{linktext|မိုးခေါ်}}; {{IPA|my|mó kʰɔ̀|pron}}), to encourage rain. The tradition originated during the reign of King Shinmahti in the [[Bagan Era]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/gallery/tug-war-rain.html|title=Tug of War for Rain|website=The Myanmar Times|language=en|access-date=2019-05-31|date=2019-05-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190531064552/https://www.mmtimes.com/gallery/tug-war-rain.html|archive-date=2019-05-31|url-status=dead}}</ref> The [[Rakhine people]] also hold tug of war ceremonies called {{lang|my-latn|yatha hswe pwe}} ({{lang|my|ရထားဆွဲပွဲ}}) during the Burmese month of [[Tabodwe]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.moi.gov.mm/npe:zg/?q=news/8/02/2017/id-41925|title=ရခိုင်ရိုးရာ ရထားဆွဲပွဲ ပျော်ပျော်ရွှင်ရွှင်တူဆင်နွှဲ|last=ကံထွန်း|date=2017-08-02|work=Myanmar Ministry of Information|access-date=2021-12-22|archive-date=2020-07-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728131157/https://www.moi.gov.mm/npe:zg/?q=news%2F8%2F02%2F2017%2Fid-41925|url-status=dead}}</ref>
