"Artillery fire" entered the bridal chamber.
A marriage custom of Zhuang nationality. On the wedding day, the bride must be baptized with "guns and fire" before she can enter the house. This marriage custom is popular in Zhuang villages such as Yufeng in Tianyang County, Guangxi. Before the bride comes to the groom's house, she should stop for a while and prepare to "charge" into the house, because there are seven or eight "artillery" groups of young men at the door, hall and new house, holding a string of firecrackers waiting for the bride to come over. When the bride was approaching the door, the "gunman" lit firecrackers to form a "fire wall" to stop the bride from approaching. If you are a timid bride, you have to retreat to the door and wait for the second "charge". The "gunmen" also summed up the experience of victory and prepared for the second "blocking". It can be said that the bride can't enter the door without two or three "charges". The onlookers, three floors inside and three floors outside, are very lively. After a hard struggle, the bride jumped over the door and came to the bridal chamber. This is the last sad hurdle, because the "gunner" has to put a "gun". At this time, the clever bridesmaids and bridesmaids "scouted around" and jumped into the bridal chamber with the bride in their arms when the "gunfire" was sparse. Suddenly, cheers thundered, congratulating the bride on "winning the flag". After the wedding reception, guests will watch the bride go out to "carry water" in the dark under the guidance of the bride. The bride will fill the water tank, which is a test of whether the bride can bear the pain. In this way, the bride can't enter the bridal chamber until late at night.
Enter the village on stilts
In the Zhuang village in Jinlong area, Longzhou County, Guangxi, people have to walk on stilts when going out or entering the village. Go out to the village entrance. Hang stilts on specific nails, and then work in the fields or go somewhere else. When entering the village, take the stilts off the nails and step on them, jump off the stone steps at the door, then hang them by the door, wash your hands and feet, and then go upstairs. It is said that these shoes were handed down from ancestors. They are located in the subtropical zone, rainy all the year round, with muddy roads and inconvenient walking. If they enter the house with muddy feet, it is really unsanitary, so they invented this "non-"shaped "stilt shoes".
