Marriage customs in rural areas
1, engagement: Usually, the man asks the matchmaker to introduce the matchmaker, and prepares a gift to send an invitation with the man's birthday on it. After the woman receives the post, it is calculated according to the woman's eight characters. If it is reconciled, I will reply to Jane's promise. This is called a post, and it is also a formal engagement.
2. Choose an auspicious day: that is, the man proposes the wedding date to the woman. Please ask the Yin and Yang teachers to work out the auspicious day first, and avoid Singles' Day and Dark Day. There are still two days, especially Flower Festival and Laba Festival. After choosing, write the happy event on red paper and give the gift to the woman by the matchmaker. If the woman has no objection, the two sides will begin to prepare for the marriage.
3. Preparation for marriage: the man builds a new house and decorates the room, and the woman buys a dowry. Dowry can be divided into full marriage and half marriage. Married people have four sets of clothes and quilts, which means that the four seasons are prosperous; Half-marriage is two sets, symbolizing couples. Most middle-class families are married, and most farmers are semi-married. Very rich people buy a full dowry, which is extremely luxurious. One or two days before the auspicious day, the man prepared a big gift and sent it to the woman's house, including meat, chicken, goose, clothes and so on.
4. Wedding: The wedding time is in the early morning or early morning. When the wedding is held, the man prepares a sedan chair to the woman's house to receive the wedding.

Then set the table and entertain the guests. At the banquet, the bride and groom should propose a toast to each guest in a certain order, such as intimacy and respect.
6. Noisy rooms: usually on the wedding night, some last for several days.
7. ancestor worship: before departure, the groom should worship his ancestors at home, report the happy events to his ancestors and ask them to bless peace.
8. Posting happy words: The man's family will post happy words outside the door in advance before the wedding and take them off in the morning of the wedding. Generally, the old people who write well in the village are invited to write. This happy word is proof of marriage.
9. Setting off firecrackers: This custom began when the wedding motorcade approached the woman's door, and it was always put on by the groom to take the bride out.
10, sedan chair pressing: The queue to pick up the bride is often very long, including those who play suona, those who carry sedan chairs and those who sing operas. The sedan chair can't be empty. There must be a child in it. My hometown calls the child a "sedan chair". Children who press sedan chairs can't come out casually when they get to their parents' house. Parents must seduce her with a red envelope before the child can come out.
1 1, crying marriage: Before the bride gets on the sedan chair, she should cry marriage. Crying for marriage is not the bride's unwillingness to leave home, but an expression of gratitude and reluctance to her parents and family.
12. Kidnapping: Many places have the custom of robbing relatives. The door of the woman's house was closed before the wedding procession arrived. The man's best man will get off and knock on the door, then get on the bus quickly and open the door when the groom gets off.
