What are the wedding customs in Dangyang, Yichang? Please know the answer, thank you.

The marriage custom in Dangyang has changed. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, most marriages between men and women were "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers". From matchmaking to marriage, there is a set of etiquette:

The man invited the matchmaker to the woman's house to get married with a generous gift.

After asking the woman's parents for a promise, the matchmaker asked the woman's birth character.

After finding out the birth and death characters of both men and women, Najib went to the temple to draw lots or ask fortune tellers for good or bad luck. Lucky people are called "Najib", also known as "eight-character combination".

After Nazi Naji, the woman's parents agreed to send her daughter's eight characters from the matchmaker to the man's house.

After eight characters, the parents of both men and women came and went for the first time.

Let the man go to the woman to discuss the wedding date.

At the end of the year when I resigned and prepared to get married, the man's family prepared a gift for the woman's family, also called "filling in the period".

Before the wedding, the man gave the bride a bride price.

The night before the wedding, the groom's uncle menstruation hung a plaque for the groom, with the names of the bride and groom written on it, indicating that the groom has "come of age", and people who hung the plaque should read hymns while drinking.

Accompanied by ten brothers, commonly known as "companion seats." On the day before the wedding, nine boys and girls accompanied the groom to the banquet.

The day before the wedding of the ten sisters, the bride was accompanied by nine girls.

At noon the day before the wedding, the woman to be married faced the direction of "Western God", twisted her hair with thin thread, commonly known as "pulling her face", combed her hair into a bun, and arranged flowers by Dell, all dressed up completely.

The groom leads the band, sedan chair and wedding team to the bride's house, where they worship the ancestors and in-laws of the Yue family, and then hold the wedding. The bride got into the sedan chair and was sent to the man's house by her brother and sister-in-law. The drums and firecrackers all the way were very lively.

Before pulling the horse sedan chair into the man's house, "Li Sheng" took the groom and musicians to pick it up. The groom burns incense paper for the sedan chair; Li Sheng read a prayer: "The gods avoid the sedan chair from turning to the hall" and sprinkled grain and tea on the top of the sedan chair; Musicians sounded gold to clear the way and drums and firecrackers greeted the sedan chair into the hall.

Giving a big gift is "bowing to the church". Also known as "worship heaven and earth". A gift student stood on the left and right sides of the mourning hall, and the bride and groom were escorted to the mourning hall. The student who gave the gift said, "The bride and groom are in place before the ancestors. When performing the temple fair ceremony, one bow-two bows-three bows ".At this time, the musicians all made sounds with the ceremony, and the suona also fell. Later, I visited my parents, relatives and friends. The bride and groom enter the bridal chamber.

On the third day of the back door wedding, the groom accompanied the bride back to her mother's house.

A month after marriage, her family took her home to live.

Dowry generally includes drawers, double wardrobes, clothes hangers, dressing tables, large cabinets, square tables, coffee tables, wooden chairs, wooden basins, braziers, washbasins and bedding.

From 65438 to 0950, the state promulgated the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China, followed by the Marriage Registration Measures. Dangyang has established a perfect marriage registration system. Feudal arranged marriage was abolished. Men and women are free to fall in love and get married, go through the marriage registration formalities according to law, and do the marriage diligently. Weddings of public officials are usually held in the meeting room in the form of tea parties. When residents and rural youth get married, they invite relatives and friends to have dinner, sprinkle sugar and set off firecrackers, which is very enjoyable. With the improvement of living standards, modern weddings are more lively and grand. In rural areas, cars are also used in wedding ceremonies, and fashionable wedding photos and wedding furniture are constantly updated with the development of the times. Urban youth weddings are mostly held in hotels. The ceremony was presided over by a special master of ceremonies, which absorbed the elements of western weddings. At the wedding, men wear suits, women take vows in wedding dresses, have a few drinks and exchange wedding rings. At the same time, it also inherited the national tradition. Worship heaven and earth, parents, guests and couples. After the wedding, the bride put on her cheongsam and toasted the guests. Aunt and aunt should eat the egg tea brought by the bride from her family, and the tea drinker should give the bride "tea money".
