When Wuchuan people get married, they all like to invite an "uncle" to preside over the wedding. This "uncle" is equivalent to the role of master of ceremonies. Clever tongue, clever tongue, quick thinking, being able to cope, at least drinking some wine ... is the minimum "skill" of "Uncle Wuchuan". When "Uncle Wuchuan" presided over the wedding ceremony, it was different from other wedding ceremonies and had a unique "Wuchuan characteristic".
At Wuchuan people's wedding banquet, "the bride and groom" is a bright spot, and "uncle" is often a bigger bright spot. "Uncle" plays the most active role. What is the atmosphere of the whole wedding reception, how eloquence is played, whether the host is good or not, whether the guest and the host are happy or not ... people will finally judge uncle.
"Drinking as an uncle" is a landscape at Wuchuan's wedding reception. I don't know when this "custom" began to form. This "play", with a little trick, is a bit like the popular "spoof". Weddings emphasize celebration. Civilized weddings are also human nature. Therefore, it is not too out of line for Wuchuan people to "play uncle" at the wedding banquet. There is vulgarity in elegance, and elegance in vulgarity. It can add a lot of color to the already jubilant wedding banquet scene. The guests who came to the banquet were full of delicious food, smiling and pushing cups for a change. When they are satisfied, some people will come up with the idea of "making uncle happy" while waiting for the uncle to lead the "newcomer" to toast. They picked up leftover chicken heads, chicken butts, roast pig heads, etc. from the dishes and gave them to their uncles; Some also play pranks, dipping in salt powder, peppers and so on. Stuff them into my uncle's mouth; Some people even suggested that uncle should sing and dance live (most people who act as "uncles" are versatile) ... Otherwise, everyone would not stand up and raise their glasses, so that your uncle could say good things as much as possible, and they would "leave it intact" and make your uncle anxious, but there was nothing to do. Sometimes uncles have to "behave themselves". So the wedding banquet was full of applause, brilliant and climax after climax.
At the wedding reception, people played the uncle, but both the bride and groom were relaxed. Generally, it will not be "spoofed". It doesn't matter if they drink with cups. Just pretend to grin. If a guest insists on drinking two cups of "new people", uncle will naturally come forward and refuse to answer the phone, and drink to the "new people".
"Uncle" is becoming more and more popular, and Wuchuan wedding banquet culture is splendid.
In Wuchuan, some people are famous "uncles". A cadre of the former County Cultural Bureau went to Hongmei Town because he was versatile, eloquent and good at saying "big words". At the mention of his name, Mei Lan became a household name. He is not good at drinking, but at every wedding banquet, he can go through the formalities with eloquence. Not only did he drink less, but he also ate less chicken heads and burned pig heads. The "sweet words" flowing from his mouth often make the host and guests smile and hear that "the ears are full of oil." In Lu Mei, when people invite "Uncle" to a wedding reception, they will think of him first. His appearance rate is quite high and he is very popular. The schedule at the end of the year is always full. Later, he was transferred to Shenzhen, and he was invited back to Wuchuan from time to time to preside over the wedding. A cadre of the film company, a native of Meilong, is quite popular in the local area. In recent years, his popularity has soared because he is often asked to be an "uncle". There is also a famous uncle in the health system, but he is famous for being funny. He often sings loudly at weddings. "Cantonese contemporary revolutionary songs, one after another" makes people laugh until their stomachaches. One of my normal students, who is a teacher, claims to be a little eloquent. A few years ago, he actually learned to be an uncle. But because he is still "tender" and has not experienced many big occasions, he is almost always in a daze and has to be carried away by several people.
Wuchuan people are real and value human feelings; Wuchuan people have a good face when they get married and love to talk about "ostentation and extravagance". Before inviting Uncle, they should compare them in advance. The more famous and eloquent the uncle, the more face he has and the more wedding flavor he has. The industry of "Uncle" is becoming more and more popular in Wuchuan and has become a wonderful wedding culture.
