employ oneself in/engage in
The engagement is called Wu Rangmu in Yi language. It is the main symbol of the formal marriage between the two parties. As the Yi proverb says. Zuling can play, marriage can not play. Once the engagement ceremony is held, neither party can dissolve the engagement. The engagement ceremony should splash water, wipe the pot and smoke, and kill pigs and sheep. At the engagement ceremony, you should set a wedding date. Generally speaking, the date of marriage is decided by the man, but it depends on the subordinate relationship and discord between the two sides. We should ask Bimo to measure it.

A few days before the wedding, the bride fasted, eating only one or two eggs, drinking a few mouthfuls of water or eating a small piece of buckwheat cake every day. No drinking water on the wedding day. According to Yi custom, the less the bride eats, the more she knows etiquette and perseverance. Because Yi girls usually have a long wedding journey, they fast before marriage to avoid having to relieve themselves in front of their elders and brothers during the journey and wedding.
The wedding when the groom pretends to kidnap the bride.
According to the Yi people, it was handed down from the older generation. What men rob is a family that respects women, that is to say, they can send them away without getting married. Although the marriage between men and women is arranged by parents and arranged by a matchmaker, on the first day of marriage, the man's family sent a matchmaker and the groom, the woman's brother. He asked two relatives to cover themselves with blankets and take a trumpet. When you take your relatives to that woman's village, you must go to that woman, two people holding croissants. A woman's family has the right to beat and scold relatives at the door with a stick.
Splash water to welcome the bride.
When the man's family reunion team arrives at the woman's door, it should accept the water thrown by her brothers and sisters and young men and women of the same age to show welcome and celebration. Yi Jia believes that after splashing water, girls will not go far away to carry water, even if it is dry, there will be food and drink.
