Generally men are two or three years older than women. After the parents of both parties agree, the marriage will be engaged, which is called "Xia Cambodia".
① For engagement gifts, rich families give gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin clothing, silver coins, etc., while ordinary people give them cloth and call them "clothes and noodles"; poor families give them as gifts and are rude. The wedding day is chosen by the man and sent to the woman’s home. When getting married, the man is called "the general's wife" and the woman is called "the daughter-in-law". The man prepares an official sedan and a colored sedan, and the man takes the colored sedan to go to the woman's house. The new daughter-in-law must be carried into the sedan by her uncle or brother, with her head covered with a red cloth. When they return, the men ride in official sedans and the women ride in colored sedans. The dowry comes with them and the guests see them off. When getting off the sedan chair, the married woman has to pick up her daughter-in-law. That night, everyone has a "bridal ceremony" and looks at the dowry. Three days later, someone from the natal family comes to visit and say "I have seen you." On the ninth day, the bride goes home to visit her relatives, which is called "Zhan Jiu". Her parents' family will brand "Zhao Guo" and bring it back to her husband's family as gifts for her daughter.

They build relationships and get engaged while working or studying; some are introduced by others, understand each other, and seek advice from others. After parents’ opinions, they got engaged independently. Most engagements involve exchanging gifts, and the wedding date is usually set during festivals or the Spring Festival. Some people travel to get married, and when they get married, relatives and friends come to congratulate them. Group weddings are also held, and relatives and friends like such weddings as "civilized, simple, lively, and generous." 2. Weihai’s characteristic folk customs

The window grilles of fishermen along the coast of Weihai are also very particular. As long as it is a fish pattern, the fish head will either face the land or face upward, which means "a hundred fishes will come ashore".

5. Idioms describing folk customs
Best answer report
1. Cold food in the morning, Lantern Festival every night
Cold food refers to the Cold Food Festival. Yuanxiao refers to the Lantern Festival. The whole sentence is a metaphor that every day is like a festival, with luxurious life and unrestrained fun.
2. Being well organized
The custom of breaking and wearing willows during the Qingming Festival later evolved into inserting willow branches by the well. (The idiom "in good order" comes from this), which is also the origin of tree planting during Qingming Festival
3. The idiom "Peach Blossoms on Human Faces" comes from the Tang Dynasty Poet Cui Hu's poem "Inscribed on Nanzhuang, Capital City". Cui Hu, named Yin Gong, was born in Boling (now Anping County, Hebei). He was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Zhenyuan and was the governor of Guanlingnan. There is a story about him writing this poem in "Taiping Guangji": Cui Hu was traveling alone in the south of Chang'an during the Qingming Festival one year before he became a Jinshi. He saw a farm with peach blossoms in full bloom. He went up and knocked on the gate of the farmyard. I want to ask for a glass of water and wine to quench my thirst. Unexpectedly, a woman with extraordinary beauty and peach blossoms opened the door to receive her. On the Qingming Festival of the next year, Cui Hu couldn't help but go to look for the woman. The peach blossoms are still there, but the door is locked and the fragrance is gone. Disappointed, Cui Hu wrote a poem on the door, "The peach blossoms on the human face complement each other red" to remember the extraordinary beauty of the woman. Later, "human face peach blossom" evolved into an idiom. In addition to describing the beauty of a woman's appearance, it was also used to describe the sentimentality that the scenery remains the same but the people and things have changed.
4. General Dali
Zha Yihuang is from Zhejiang. When he went to a wild temple to drink during the Qingming Festival, he saw an ancient bell in front of the temple, which could hold more than two stones. However, the ancient bell The handwriting marks on the upper and lower soil seemed to have been left recently. Peering in from below, I saw a bamboo basket inside, but I didn't know what it contained. I asked a few people to help me and wanted to lift the ancient clock to take a look, but I couldn't move it a little. Yihuang was even more surprised and decided to drink slowly and wait. After a while, a beggar came in with some food. I saw him lifting the ancient clock with one hand and putting the food into the basket with the other. After putting it away, he closed the ancient clock and left. Soon the beggar came again and fetched food from under the ancient clock. After eating, I looked back and it was as easy as opening a box. Everyone was surprised. Yihuang asked: "You are so capable, why do you beg?" He replied: "I eat a lot, and no one hires me." Yihuang persuaded him to join the army, but the beggar was worried that there would be no way out. Yihuang then took him home and gave him plenty to eat. It was estimated that he could feed five or six people. I changed his clothes, shoes and socks, gave him fifty gold and sent him away.
More than ten years later, Zha Yihuang had a nephew who was a county magistrate in southern Fujian. Suddenly a general named Wu Liuyi came to pay him a visit. During the conversation, he asked: "Who are you, Mr. Yihuang?" He replied: "He is my uncle. Is he old with the general?" He said: "He is my teacher. We have not seen each other for ten years. I miss you very much. I hope you can Let’s meet.” The nephew agreed casually, but secretly thought: My uncle is a famous scholar, how can he be a disciple of the Wu family? Soon Yihuang came and told him, but Yihuang was also at a loss and had no memory. Because the other party was very attentive in asking questions, I went to visit him. The general rushed out to greet him outside the gate. Yihuang looked carefully and realized that he was a stranger and suspected that the general had made a mistake. But the general's attitude became more and more respectful, and he sent away the other guests, and even invited Yihuang to enter the third and fourth doors. When he saw a woman coming and going, he knew it was a private house, so Yihuang stopped. The general bowed and invited Yihuang to take a seat in the hall. Someone brought court clothes, and the general suddenly stood up to change his clothes. Yihuang didn't know what he was going to do. Several people pinned Yihuang to his seat, and the general paid homage to him as a father-in-law. Yihuang was shocked and even more puzzled. The general changed into his civilian clothes, sat down with him, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't you remember the beggar holding the bell?"
Later, Cha Yihuang was involved in the case of revising history (a literary inquisition in the early Qing Dynasty) ) was implicated and imprisoned, but was ultimately spared, all because of the efforts of the general. 6. Information about folk customs (preferably from Weihai)

Many slender seaweeds grow along Rongcheng and other coastal areas. When fresh, they are green and lovely, and are rolled up onto the beach in clumps by the tide. After drying, they turn purple-brown and become pliable.
Coastal residents use thatched houses. The thatch of the house is extremely thick, the slopes on both sides are very steep, and the ridge of the house is high. The warmth in winter and coolness in summer are incomparable to the humble grass elsewhere.
