Several customs of Hakka's "playing house"

There are several customs for Hakka people to go through the house: selling well, obeying the rules, really going through the house (heir), going through the house (adoption) and setting up a second house. 65438+ Some children are born elves, lively and lovely, and the other party asks to go home to play. The main purpose of symbolic communication is to make children grow up healthily. Symbolic children who walk through the house call their adoptive parents godparents. Parents choose a good day to bring Geng Xu (black iron is a birthday), children, three animals (pigs, chickens, fish) and fruits; Evergreen grass, cypress leaves, and a 9-foot-long cloth belt (meaning long life and grandchildren) are pasted with red paper and worshipped at the godmother's house. Take the children home after dinner; Godfather and godmother will give the adopted child a pair of chopsticks, a bowl of rice, the child's shirt and trousers. Symbolic communication is very casual. If both sides are happy with each other, they can communicate frequently, and if they are unhappy, they can forget at any time. 2, the real house (Li Si) is generally carried out within the clan and between brothers, uncles or relatives and friends. In the past, some people only had girls and no boys. In order to inherit the family incense and property, some people wear hemp clothes to mourn after death. The real passing of a house means that one of the brothers, uncles, relatives and friends who have two or three boys agrees to give one of them to a family without a boy after consultation, and the family that accepts the boy is called Li Si. This kind of sexual intercourse is not necessarily a young son, as long as it is an unmarried man, it can be given to others. Have a relationship of * * * *. When you go to other places or neighboring villages to buy a boy (usually under 4 years old), the sold boy doesn't know his birthplace, parents and other relatives. The purpose is to prevent him from looking for relatives when he grows up and having the idea of returning to his hometown. Familiar people or the parents of the sold boy in the neighboring village must also make it clear that the sold boy cannot have any contact after changing his surname. 3. Entering a household (adoption) refers to a family that only gives birth to daughters but not boys. In order to inherit the incense and family business, the husband is taken care of in his later years (that is, the man lives in the woman's house), and the family that enters the house is generally a family with more brothers. Another form of entering the house is that a man dies prematurely and his wife invites him into the house; Some of these men have to change their surnames according to their ex-husbands. 4. Ding Liangfang adopted a method called Ding Liangfang (also called semi-adoption) without real adoption conditions. That is to say, if you marry two wives, the children born to each wife will belong to each room or surname (regardless of family or foreign surname). No matter whether you really went home, went to two rooms, or went home, you should perform a customized ceremony, write a sacrificial book, worship the world, worship your ancestors, hold a banquet, invite relatives and friends, and tell them.
