Nanchang's marriage customs have a long history, which makes several generations feel interesting, and welcoming the bride is one of them. As soon as the wedding day arrived, the man's family hosted a banquet for the female guests early in the morning. After the banquet, the one-year-old man's family and his family went to the wedding. In the past, the sedan chair was carried by eight people, and the man's house was equipped with a barbell and a gift basket. At that time, the wedding was very heavy, 100 Jin of meat, 100 Jin of noodles, 100 Jin of flower cake, and 60 yuan. Sister banquet is a farewell to her little sister. All the items are sprinkled with red confetti and pine boards, and red eggs and paper-cuts with the word "hi" are placed on them. When I arrived at the woman's house, I greeted her with firecrackers. However, the female helpers all closed the door and refused to let the men's guests in, vying for the men's favorite cigarettes, wine and sugar. The wedding guests beat gongs and drums outside the door to show "make-up". After the two sides discussed, the door opened, and the woman's house hosted a banquet for the man's guests, and received three gifts to send eggs, sugar and cakes to the children who came to watch the fun. At this time, the woman's family scolded the man's family for not having enough things, and the man's family also excused themselves or scolded the woman's family. The two sides are arguing endlessly, as the saying goes, "the more you scold, the more you scold." Although modern society advocates changing customs, the ancient and simple marriage customs have a long history and have been integrated into modern civilization.
