Marriage custom is a folk custom with local characteristics. China has a vast territory and a long history. Therefore, the customs and habits formed in the long-term development have strong local characteristics. As an important "celebration" in life, wedding is often paid more attention and attention in its evolution. To a great extent, it represents the cultural tradition of a region and people's conceptual thinking, and it is a folk custom category worth exploring. My hometown is located in the countryside in the northeast of Shouguang City, Shandong Province. Because it is adjacent to Guangrao Dongying, the local customs and habits are more integrated with some characteristics of the surrounding areas in the development process, so it presents diversity, especially the wedding customs are more standardized and strict than other areas in Shouguang. After listening and listening, I was lucky enough to experience a wedding in person during the holiday, and I also lamented the rich emotions and wisdom of the people in my hometown. Here I'll sort out the weddings I've seen and briefly explain them.

The wedding preparation is extremely complicated, which is somewhat consistent with the traditional theories of accepting gifts, asking names, Najib, accepting words, inviting parties and welcoming guests. The last procedure before the wedding is invitation. The man is responsible for finding a teacher of Yin and Yang to choose the auspicious day of the ecliptic to finalize the wedding date, and the uncle of the man's family sends the wedding date to the woman's house. This is the so-called "wedding ceremony". This trip can't be done. If the woman agrees to the wedding date, she should give the man a gift in return. According to local customs, a pair of trousers, socks, an undershirt and underwear should be prepared for the man.

Strictly speaking, the wedding begins the night before the chosen auspicious day. On this night, the man will send someone to the woman's house to bring back the dowry and bedding (the more the better) issued by the woman's house. That night, my in-laws and all the children in my family will work together, spread all the bedding on the new bed, sprinkle peanuts, chestnuts, dates and sesame stalks under the mattress, and hug the man's nephew back and forth on the bed several times, which means that the couple love each other in their later lives. When the guests who help are scattered, the new bed can't be empty, and it must be made by the man.
