First, the Chinese New Year, a cup for everyone.
On the first day of the first month, Wuzhou people have had the ceremony of "Celebrating New Year's Day" since the Han Dynasty, which has been spread to the early years of the Republic of China. On New Year's Day, the whole family, old and young, put on new clothes and hats early in the morning, and worshipped their ancestors in the hall in an orderly manner according to their generations, and then worshipped the reunited elders. After everyone worships each other, everyone should take a glass of wine from the altar, send a new year's funeral, say a few auspicious words and raise a glass. People and children who can't drink should also sip a cup to show politeness, and then sit down according to their age and enjoy the "New Year's Eve banquet". The etiquette of the Spring Festival is "to worship your family on the first day, to worship your aunt and uncle on the second day, to worship Zhang Yue on the third day, and to leave on the fourth day and the fifth day".
Second, on the wedding night, the couple * * * drinks eggnog.
The custom of ancient Wuzhou is a series of wine events before and after marriage, starting with matchmaking wine, followed by blind date wine, engagement wine, dating wine, dowry wine, sedan chair wine, wedding banquet wine, uncle worship wine, Taigong wine, Huimen wine, neighbor respect wine and so on. One of the most unique is the wedding night. After the second watch, the mother-in-law in the city gave the bride and groom a bowl of "egg wine" steamed with three eggs, which means sweet three yuan.
Third, the son has three dynasties and wants to taste wine.
On the second day after the birth of the child, a meal of "Three Dynasties Wine", also called Three Dynasties Ceremony, was called "Imperial Male Wine" in the old customs. When the Three Dynasties wine is held, special chicken, meatballs, steamed bread and cakes are needed to celebrate this great event. In some places, when you taste the wine of the three dynasties, you will also admire "sweet wine, blessing longevity, licking your head and worrying for a lifetime." If a child has dimples on his face, people will say, "The two dimples on his face make him rich when he comes home." . When the child is full moon, the barber moistens his hair with wine and water, and wears a pink hairstyle. After the haircut, everyone drank full moon wine.
Fourth, my in-laws come to have wine with cows.
There is a custom of bullfighting in Wuzhou countryside. The success or failure of bullfighting often affects the reputation of the owner, so the owner attaches great importance to feeding the bull. During the bullfighting season, cows should be supplemented with nutrition and fed with aged wine specially brewed for bullfighting. Traditionally called "Niujiu", the brewed "Niujiu" is rich in glutinous rice, uses a lot of water, is old for a long time, and has excellent quality. If you are a foreigner, you will often have doubts when you hear that the host is going to spoon wine for the cow. In fact, the owner is sincere.
