Sweep kang.
After dinner, a group of people will sweep the kang and make the bed for the couple. This task must be undertaken by the groom's pregnant sister-in-law
There is also a song "sweeping the kang", which says: Drink and eat sugar. I clean the house for the newlyweds. ? Sweep the mandarin duck pillow together? Second, conjugal love.
Third sister-in-law gave birth to your son early. Sweep all the children. ? The groom works hard. Sweep the bride's dexterity and mind.
Sweeping the east and the west, the female man ran all over the kang. East round, west round, girls and boys are adults. ? After sweeping the kang, the couple waved. Sweep the edge of the kang and there will be a champion. Sweeping the windowsill makes a red face (boy). Sweeping the corner of the kang gives birth to a fairy (female). ..... and so on, the lyrics are all some good wishes and some banter, which often makes the bride and groom blush with anger and feel ashamed.
They are also very particular about bedding. Some sisters-in-law only made them a bed, so they let the husband and wife undress and fall asleep on the spot (this goal is often impossible). Usually a red quilt is laid. Some sisters-in-law spread two beds, but the bed mouth is not facing down, but opposite.
There is a red quilt between the two quilts. Sister-in-law secretly told people on both sides: "Whoever grabs the red quilt will be able to command each other in the future." In fact, in ancient times, men and women got married earlier and were shy, and no one wanted to talk about sex first.
If we all grab the red bed, we will all get into the red bed. A man and a woman are in the same bed, and dry wood is in the fire. How can we not burn it? ? altar lamp that burns day and night
On the first night of the bridal chamber, you can't turn off the lights. You should light a long candle until dawn, which means longevity lamp. listening room
After the bride and groom lay down, the groom's sister-in-law and brothers crept to the window of the new house, afraid to go out and listened to a couple's private conversation. If two people are congenial, of course, they will talk endlessly, and then they will start "that"
The people in the room happily told the groom's parents that they were fine. Parents are relieved.
If two people don't get along or don't talk, or quarrel. If they quarrel, their parents will scold them in the yard: "why don't you sleep?" We'll talk tomorrow morning. "
If we don't have a sister-in-law, we should invite a sister-in-law with another surname to listen to the room. If you really can't find a sister-in-law, the bride's mother-in-law should also listen to the room, mainly to touch their emotional bottom.
If there is no mother-in-law or sister-in-law, you should lean against the window with a bamboo broom and cover it with a coat to avoid listening to evil spirits. ? .
2. What does the bridal shop say?
When you make the bed, you usually sing "Make the Bed Song":
Make the bed. Make both ends of the bed.
Sir, your son, slow-born girl.
A: The pillow is supported at both ends, and the groom climbs at both ends.
B: Throw pillows at both ends, and the son looks like a loach.
Tomorrow's day is really strong, parents-in-law will make the bed, fill sesame and oranges, and a son will be a big official (what official, secretary of the provincial party Committee! )
Laying straw, laying bean straw, children are all scholars at school (what scholars, college students). Spread bean stalks to keep warm, put chestnuts and dates, it will be delicious, talented people will come forth in large numbers, and gold and silver will pile up in a kang.
Put on the mattress and quilt, one pair for each child, one for the left and one for the right, and one child will not be punished.
Tomorrow will be a bad day, with mattresses and sheets. There are phoenixes, single phoenixes and double phoenixes on the sheets. Next year, a pair of champions will be born. Tomorrow will be a wonderful day. Gold and silver can't be turned into treasure. Hurry up, I'll go to the fair, have a big son after marriage, and the bride and groom will live in a new house. When they get married, they won't forget their parents. A wedding is when the groom marries the bride and the parents-in-law make the bed.
One shop is gold, the other is silver, and Kirin sends the children to the door. (Continue to spread) The third bed is Taoliyuan, and the husband and wife love each other for a hundred years. The fourth bed is full of the wealth of the four seasons, and gold and silver treasures are rolling in. The fifth and sixth beds are rich, the seventh and eighth beds are full of treasures, and the ninth bed is full of big ingots. The tenth bed is really full, and all the babies are girls and boys. Give birth to a woman as a queen and a man as a champion. A new blanket, a duvet, a young couple sleeping at the same time, giving birth to a pair next year, a man and a woman singing together, giving birth to a pair of college students. The bed is so well made that neither of the boys can escape. This bed is so complete that it will last forever.
Widows or childless women are not allowed to make bedding, make beds and help the bride at the wedding, nor are they allowed to book seats on the bride.
Of course this is unlucky.
Marriage in feudal society does not mean the emergence of independent families, but its significance lies in having children and reproducing offspring. Therefore, begging for children and heirs has become the main purpose of marriage customs, such as sewing dates, peanuts and chestnuts when sewing wedding bedding, symbolizing the early birth of your son. When making the bed (kang), jujube, peanuts and chestnuts are also sprinkled. When spreading the bill, sprinkle dates and peanuts on the couple. Chestnuts, all for the sake of early birth and more births. There are also "Kirin to send the child", "Five children into the topic", "Early birth of your son, full house of children" and so on. This kind of early birth and early childbearing, many children and many blessings, and the folk custom and fertility concept of carrying on the family line.
Making the bed is also called "sweeping the bed", "making the bed" or "spreading the bill". In many places in Henan, after drinking a toast, the groom's family will also invite a woman with two children to make the bed for the couple. There are also people who let grandpa or uncle make the bed. Before making the bed, the bride should turn the deliberately upside-down seat on the wedding bed over. When flipping seats, the groom should ask "Did you flip" and the bride should answer "Flipped", otherwise the prostitute will not agree. When making the bed, the bed maker puts a pair of bamboo chopsticks in the pillow, and then sprinkles red dates, peanuts, chestnuts, seed cotton and walnuts on the bed. The bed-maker sang "Bed-making Song" at the same time, and the lyrics were humorous and flexible, mostly praising the couple's love and wishing them an early birth.
Chengdu dialect has the sayings of "master bed" and "making bed", which is also a custom, especially a ceremony when getting married. On the wedding night, we should invite elderly women from Shuang Fu who have children and grandchildren to make beds for the newlyweds, thinking that this will bring the newlyweds good luck in making beds. The people who make the bed say whatever they have in their hands, mostly saying auspicious words to congratulate their wedding, such as "dominating the bed, dominating the bed, reversing the beam, introducing the child first, then introducing the woman" and so on. When making the bed, the newlyweds must be present, with friends and relatives watching and joking. When the person who makes the bed throws things (such as pillows and quilts) on the bed, the groom will give her a red envelope.
Qianjiang ethnic customs
The bride and groom are also very particular about making the bed at their wedding. Only when both husband and wife are alive can people make the bed for the newlyweds. Until now, this custom has been preserved. When a girl from a poor family gets married, because her mother's family has no money, there are few quilts for her, and there is no extra cotton wool as padding. Her husband's family will go to Pingba area in advance to find rice grass, dry it, bundle it into 12 straw, spread it evenly on the new bed when they get married, and cover it with sheets, which will become the wedding bed of the bride and groom.
Marrying a woman is going out of the boudoir overnight. That is, the day before the wedding, the wedding procession came to the woman's house, put the sedan chair in the courtyard dam, and then the bride's brother or younger brother carried the bride out of the boudoir, sat under the eaves in rainy days and sat in the courtyard dam in sunny days, accompanied by relatives and friends and girls in the same village, singing a lamentation, singing a song of gratitude to parents for their upbringing, singing a song of nostalgia, and pressing "Mao Yin sends a kiss, Tatsumi doesn't want it"

5. Customary marriage and making the bed
As we all know, both men and women have been legally married since they got the marriage certificate, but because marriage is a major event in life, people often hold weddings according to customs, which reflects the sanctity of marriage.
The wedding is not only to announce the birth of a new family, but also to congratulate both men and women on their sweetness, kindness, love, growing old together and filial piety. There is also a more important significance, that is, praying and wishing the child will be born in the future, looking forward to the early birth of the child, looking forward to the two children, and looking forward to a bright future for the child. Although different nationalities and places have different wedding customs and habits, it has become a common habit to wish the couple "early birth" at the wedding. This is the inheritance of our ancient idea of carrying on the family line. The "make the bed" program on the wedding night is available in many places, and the specific methods have their own characteristics. In some local customs, it is very vivid to cover the baby's clothes under the quilt, so that the bride will have a sense of responsibility on the wedding day and know that she has the responsibility to carry on the family line. Therefore, the combination of newlyweds is more integrated into the meaning of family inheritance. Our "bed making" project in Baoding, Hebei Province adopted the practice of saying jingles and putting dried fruits. One of my colleagues got married today, and many people in our unit have corresponding positions. Sister Zhang and Mei Mei and I played the role of making the bed. There is an important condition for choosing this role, that is, we must admit that human nature is good. If you have children and a husband, it is best to be "completely lovely"-a "completely lovely" wife whose children, husband, parents and in-laws are healthy. In the evening, the bride eats "rice cakes". Jiaozi wants a small bag, usually as many as the bride is old. It's better to have several big jiaozi with a small jiaozi in it. When cooking jiaozi, you should cook a few undercooked ones. When the bride eats jiaozi that is not ripe, someone will ask her, "Is it alive?" She replied, "Healthy." Then put away the raw jiaozi. Ha! Jiaozi's "life" is the homonym of "life"!
Then it's time to make the bed. I used to make the bed for my relatives and friends when they got married, but I just listened and did what others said, never thinking about what to say. This time, among the three of us, let me say that sentence. I don't know how to say it at the moment. I had to ask my old neighbor first, and then I searched online. I made up a few words myself, so I printed them into small notes for fear that I couldn't remember them.
The bride also smiled at us in the bedroom. The three of us put the extra bedding on the bed in the wardrobe and began to make the bed formally. Zhang Jie said, "Red official and green lady". Mei Mei and I were sorting out the bedding and laid two red and green quilts. I also opened the side of two quilts and folded them together. Put some peanuts, chestnuts, jujubes, candies and walnuts in the course of paving. I have a saying: a handful of chestnuts and a handful of dates will give birth to a big one next year.
Walnuts and dates can make boys and girls smart.
Being crushed by the side, giving birth to a child to be a big official.
Being cornered, having a baby is smart and handy.
It's better to have a baby than to have a corner. There are still a few words I haven't remembered. I took out a small piece of paper and read it out loud, which made everyone laugh:
Sprinkle flowers to grow, and sow chestnuts to bear seeds early.
Sprinkle a handful of raw peanuts, a man and a woman arrange flowers.
Sprinkle a handful of sugar, and the days will become more and more prosperous.
I stopped talking when I found other lines. I think whether it is traditional culture or modern culture, we should choose the most suitable one according to local conditions, and don't use it if it is not suitable. The formation and changes of folk customs are also carried out in the process of constant selection and deduction in history.
Because we usually only prepare dates and chestnuts in the north, but not lotus seeds and longan, it goes without saying that there are lotus seeds and longan in the southern water town, and even the birth of your son is the best.
Because the current marriage system is monogamous, the ancient desire of "one stack of children in the east and one stack of children in the west" cannot but be said to be the product of polygamy in feudal society.
Because the current national policy of family planning requires one child, we should try not to bring in words such as many children and many blessings.
Ha ha! Different customs and habits reflect the same desire for children. Long before the fetus is formed in the mother, the wedding day is a great blessing and expectation for the child.
Isn't it interesting to summarize these jingles? Maybe a sister will need it when that friend gets married and makes the bed. If you've ever heard of this kind of jingle, or you've made up better lines, be sure to tell me. I put them in the column of lawyer Hao's marriage and family network/family culture so that more people can see them and learn from them. Haha's laughter ...
