There were "Six Rites" in ancient times. During the Republic of China, it was simplified to four steps of engagement. Pass on the boxer, Gu said "take eight characters", that is, Grandpa Hong (the matchmaker) will give the woman's boxer paste to the man, but it must be calculated according to the date of birth first. If the two sides hit it off, they can get engaged. If they have a conflict, they will return Geng paste. After engagement, the man gives the woman a gift once a year, which is called "Geng Chong" until marriage.

After a while, the man's parents invited his grandfather to the woman's house to consult about marriage, and agreed on the wedding date (usually two days in the lunar calendar). The woman's parents asked Hongye for a bride price (quantity and quality of jewelry and clothes) and asked Hongye to tell the man's family. If the man agrees, they will get married separately. The day before the wedding, a banquet was held to entertain the guests. The man called it "warm langxi" and the woman called it "hair-combing wine". On the wedding day, the groom dressed up, sat on the official bridge, led the sedan chair to meet the bride, and firecrackers rang all the way. When I arrived at my daughter's house, I worshipped her ancestors to show my willingness to be her son-in-law. The bride is wearing a rockhopper, a red coat and a skirt around her waist. After the farewell ceremony of ancestor worship, her brother carried a sedan chair on his back, and his brother or nephew gave it to her, which was called "Faqin". The groom's sedan chair is in front, and the bride's sedan chair and dowry are behind, marching in the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers. The bride arrived at the door of the man's house, and with the help of her "mother-in-law", she boarded the hall in a sedan chair and worshipped heaven and earth with the groom.

After the ceremony, the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber, have a "toast" and put their shoes together to show their love for each other. In order to increase the festive atmosphere, his cousins and young guests entered the bridal chamber and joked with the bride, naming it "noisy room". Some uncles are also "noisy", the so-called "three days without two days." The next morning, the bride brought tea to the elders, that is, each person had a cup of rice flowers in syrup, and two special snacks similar to moon cakes were added. Everyone who drinks tea has a tea money reward. On the third day, the bride was taken back to her family by her sister-in-law or nephew, and the groom, as a guest, brought a gift and named it "Eating Huimen Wine". After dinner, the bride came back with the groom because there was no room for three days.

Birthdays celebrate birthdays, commonly known as "living" or "doing life". Children eat longevity noodles on their birthdays, wear new clothes, and elders give toys, stationery or food. Old people's 50th, 60th and 70th birthdays are even more grand, and most of them are presided over by the younger generation, congratulated by relatives and friends, presented with birthday couplets, birthday plaques or other gifts, and treated with wine by the host.
