Marriage Customs in Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province

1. To get married in Shaanxi, the man needs to give the woman four gifts, namely meat, lotus root, tobacco and wine. On the wedding day, the bride and groom need to eat glutinous rice balls, which means that the family is round and round. On the wedding day, when the bride goes out, the lucky female elder should hold a bamboo plaque or a black umbrella to protect her from going to the limousine, because the bride can't see the sunshine overhead, on the other hand, it means that she hopes to live a happy life like this female elder. Tips: Bamboo plaques need to be labeled with happy characters. Before the bride got on the limousine, an auspicious little boy held a fan (put it on the tea tray) for the bride, and the bride returned a red envelope to express her gratitude. (Note: prepare a fan with two small red envelopes) After the bride goes out and gets on the limousine, she can't say goodbye to her parents and family! After the limousine leaves, the bride needs to throw the fan out of the window, which means she won't bring her bad temper to her husband's house. The little boy picked up the fan and gave it to her family. They would give her a red envelope to thank her. After the car leaves, the bride's family needs to set off firecrackers to express their blessings.
