wedding and funeral customs

marriage customs

There are three kinds of weddings in Ming and Qing dynasties: receiving lottery, asking names, Naji, collecting levy, inviting parties and welcoming relatives. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, folk customs had evolved and gradually formed a set of marriage patterns:

Matchmaker, middleman introduces the situation of both sides, commonly known as matchmaker; Marry, please ask the fortune teller to marry according to birthdates, is there any mutual restraint; Engagement, commonly known as the exchange of dragon and phoenix big names, is decided by the man on an auspicious day, preparing a bride price and sending the dragon and phoenix big names to the woman's house. The woman also returned the dragon and phoenix brand to the man, indicating that the marriage was settled. Choose the date, also known as the date of delivery, choose the date of marriage, inform the woman, and send the second gift, commonly known as the bride price. After receiving the notice, the woman prepared 2 kilograms of noodles and scrolls as gifts, indicating that the wedding date has been fixed and will not be changed; Giving a dowry, the woman prepares a dowry before the wedding, and relatives and friends give money and things as gifts. This is called adding boxes. Delivered to the man's house before noon the day before the wedding. On the same day, the man set up a banquet shed to paste happy characters, receive relatives and friends, prepare the wedding banquet, and relatives and friends gave money, which was called waist pressing; Wedding, held in the morning, the man sent a car to meet him, and the woman sent her next of kin to see him off, then held a memorial ceremony, took off the hijab, opened her face, made up a new one (sat on the auspicious day), had a reunion, divided the size, and held a wedding at night; Going back to my uncle's house, three days after marriage, the man took his wife back to her parents' house to visit her parents-in-law, which is called going back to my uncle's house; Bai San, three days after marriage, newlyweds visit relatives and friends respectively, which is called Bai San. Ten days after marriage, the bride goes back to her family and stays for nine days, which is called ten days and nine days. After liberation, the old marriage customs gradually changed. Feudal superstitious customs such as marriage, gift giving and worship of heaven and earth are basically out of date.

Mourning custom

In the past, funeral ceremonies were complicated and superstitious. When adults die, they burn their heads, have their hair cut, clean themselves, get dressed, wrap their clothes and stop bed. After death, guide, mourn, report to the temple (also known as paper feeding), list disasters, report funeral, funeral, offer family sacrifices, point the Lord (memorial tablet of the deceased), send the road, surround the shed, and go to the funeral; After burial, the tomb will be rounded three days later and will end seven days later. After that, every 7 days 1 time, there are five big sacrifices and seven big sacrifices, also known as Dragon Boat Festival. Then Zhou Nianji, the anniversary of the first year, followed by Memorial Day. The above etiquette is carried out by the rich, but after the death of the poor, many of them are very simple because of limited financial resources.

After liberation, people still follow the old customs of the 1950s. In the 1960s, the government called for changing customs, advocating funeral reform, simplifying funerals, raising people's awareness and gradually reducing superstitious activities. Especially since 1970s, the government has built crematoriums, strengthened funeral management and gradually abandoned coffin burial. In the past, when babies died, they would be put into reed boxes in Xiao Mu and buried in just places. Unmarried adults and married daughters are not allowed.

Now the main products handed down are: walking on stilts, yangko, martial arts drums and so on. In order to let readers know the contents and forms of several flower exhibitions, we now choose three kinds of introductions as follows:

walk on stilts

Walking on stilts, commonly known as tying firewood feet, also known as "stilts", "walking on stilts", "tying high feet" and "walking high legs", is a popular mass skill performance in Ningche. In some folk festivals, dancers usually perform in the square with long wooden stilts tied to their feet. Walking on stilts is skillful and lively. Because stilts are taller than ordinary people, they are easy to watch from far and near, and their mobility is no different from that of the activity stage, so they are deeply loved by the masses. Participants stepped on wooden legs three feet long, playing, white snake, green snake, Yang, woodcutter and fisherman. When marching, gongs and drums are played, Song Wu leads the dance with double sticks, and the others dance with drums. Do it right in batches during the performance. There are fishermen fishing, butterfly flapping and so on. , and rub into a turn, turn, jump, move, fork.

Dance yangko

Yangge dancing is one of the most representative folk dances in Ningchegu. Because of its colorful dance forms, it is very popular with farmers. Yangko has its own style and characteristics. Generally, it consists of more than 10 to 100 dance teams. It dresses up as historical stories, myths and legends and people in real life, and dances while walking. With the rhythm of drums, he is good at changing various formations and dancing in a colorful way, which is deeply loved by the audience.

Black hair drum

French drum is a form of drum music performance in Ningchegut, which has a history of 100 years. The performance of the French drum is magnificent, and the ceremonial deacon is graceful and exquisite, so it is called "half-deputy Luanjia". It is characterized by dancing while playing, and it is both civil and military. Its unique skills are mainly reflected in the accompaniment of drums, the up and down dancing of cymbals and the left and right twisting of cymbals, and the different actions are changed through different beating methods of cymbals and cymbals. It can be said that the law is in harmony with civil and military affairs, and drums are in harmony. French drum performances can also be divided into three types: grammar drum, snare drum and music drum. Their forms are distinguished by a fixed pendulum and a marching guild. Some win by beating drums, some are good at beating cymbals and cymbals, and some are eye-catching by tying colors, lighting and props. Generally speaking, the number of people who take part in an encouragement varies from 100 to as few as 70 or 80. There used to be as many as four or five hundred people in the whole village.

Besides, Peking Opera, Pingju Opera and Hebei Bangzi are the favorite operas of the ancients in Ningche. In terms of music, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there was no special music organization, and most of them were folk music classes, playing instruments such as wind, sheng, flute, flute, suona, erhu and percussion instruments.
