Daye Wedding Customs: "Crying to Marry" Through the long history, many customs and habits of the Daye people, whose ancestral home is in western Jiangxi, have been influenced by surrounding customs, but some customs have been well preserved. For example, when people in Daye get married, they have always followed the "crying marriage" custom of the Tujia people in western Ganxi. Generally, a girl will not go out to do work ten days and a half before receiving the notification from her husband about the wedding day. Instead, he set up a table in the boudoir, placed ten bowls of tea, and invited his neighbors and children to sit around and sing the wedding song. There are rules for crying: usually it lasts for three to five days, but sometimes it lasts as long as ten days and a half. The main content is to recall the love between mother and daughter, talk about the pain of separation, thank the parents for their upbringing, ask the brothers and sisters to take care of their elderly parents, teach the daughter how to behave, etc. Crying has a melody, ups and downs, and is a very difficult art that combines crying with singing. When crying, he uses modal words such as "hum", "man", and "ah ah ah", crying and complaining, which is sad and moving. For example, "crying for my sister": reminiscing about the good times spent with my sister; "crying for the master" (pronounced "伢") for the mother: tracing the deep love between mother and daughter; "crying for the mother for the daughter": expressing the mother's concern and expectations for her daughter. The custom of weeping in marriage has been around for a long time, reflecting the sincere nature of the local people. When the daughter is about to leave, those crystal tears are the deep love for the mother and the homeland. The tears welling up on the mother's face are the lifelong advice and love for her daughter. Only Daye people understand such deep feelings. Daye Spring Festival customs 1. Time. The Spring Festival in Daye area is usually celebrated on New Year's Eve, which is the last day of the year. But for some people named Liu, it is the 29th day of the New Year, the day before the end of the year. It is said that the ancestors surnamed Liu were looking forward to the New Year so much that they moved the New Year's Eve one day forward. 2. Warm up the fire. On New Year's Eve, families usually gather around the fire to warm up, so most families prepare a large tree stump for this night several months in advance. The stronger the fire, the more prosperous life will be in the coming year. 3. Happy New Year. After the New Year's Eve is celebrated in Daye area, the most important thing after the New Year is to pay New Year greetings. Relatives within Wufu must pay New Year greetings to each other. The form of New Year greetings is to visit each other's home and send some cakes and a snack. Two pounds of pork. And the time of New Year greetings is also particular. On the first day of the New Year, New Year greetings are given to the most respected relatives or relatives, such as grandparents, parents, parents-in-law, etc. New Year greetings on this day show the greatest respect for this person. The second day of the Lunar New Year is to pay New Year greetings to those who have died in the family in the past year. If a relative has passed away in the past year, all his relatives will pay homage to the deceased in his family's ancestral hall on this morning. People pay New Year greetings. On this day, you are not allowed to go to the homes of people who have no relatives who have died during the New Year. Going there is taboo, and it is a curse on others for bad luck in the coming year. Starting from the third day of the Lunar New Year, we have been paying New Year greetings to relatives other than the two days mentioned above. The later the time is, the more distant the relationship between relatives. 4. Turn on the lights. In the Daye area, all the lights in the home must be lit on the first and second day of the lunar month, as well as the 14th, 15th and 16th days of the first lunar month, so that everything is brightly lit. It is said that the human world has offended God, and the Jade Emperor wants to punish the human world. He wants to make the human world a sea of ??life during those few days. I don’t know who leaked the news, so the human world lit up all the lights in the house during those few days to make the Jade Emperor grow old. The son mistakenly thought that someone was angry, so he used this to ward off evil spirits and avoid disaster. 5. Play drums and gongs. That is, during the six days when the lights are turned on, all the young people in the village go to the door of every house with drums and gongs. Everyone who arrives must set off firecrackers. The longer the firecrackers, the more enthusiastic they are. Pastries and cigarettes are also served to those who visit the drums and gongs. . 6. Betting on copper coins. That is, use two ancient copper coins with holes in the middle, let them rotate, and then cover them with a bowl. If the upward faces of the two coins when they stop rotating are the same, they are "holes" (homophonic, I don't know the true meaning). If they are different, they are "holes". "Separation" (homophone, I don't know the true meaning), and then let everyone guess whether it is a "hole" or a "separation". The one who guesses correctly wins, and the one who guesses wrong loses. Judging from the tools used for betting, this activity must have a history of more than a hundred years. 7. Play with dragon lanterns and lion lanterns. That is, after the sixth day of the first lunar month, larger villages organize a dragon lantern and lion lantern performance. All the sons-in-law and nephews in the village are organized to help during that time, and then perform in other places to pray for good weather in the places they go. 8. Small taboos. For example, if you make more rice on New Year's Eve, it means you have more than enough every year. During the New Year, you can only say "have" when you are full, and you can only say "enjoy" when you fall asleep. You cannot touch the ground on New Year's Eve. , the water used on the first day of the Lunar New Year cannot be poured outside. It must be poured at home and collected until the second day of the Lunar New Year.
