After the wedding reception, Xi Niang accompanied the bride to the kitchen for "circumcision". What ceremony is this?
The old-style wedding evolved from the ancient "six ceremonies" (one ceremony, two questions, three ceremonies, four ceremonies, five invitations to the sun, and six weddings). When men and women propose marriage, the matchmaker, according to their parents' orders, decides that the door is suitable for each other, and exchanges "Geng Tie" (age, date of birth) at the bottom of the net cup in front of the kitchen god statue to test God's will.

The custom of circumcision is said to have originated from Judaism and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Among Jews, circumcision is actually a sign of fulfilling the Covenant with God, confirming Jewish identity and entering the scope of marriage permission. Until today, circumcision is not limited to Jews or men, but is common among boys and girls of many nationalities in the world.

In Africa, more than 30 countries in more than 50 countries practice circumcision in different ranges. Among them, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and other countries, about 80% of men and women have had this kind of surgery.

Circumcision. Circumcision ceremony is very common in human society all over the world. Muslims, Jews and Australian aborigines all have circumcision customs. Melanesians and Polynesians (Pesiansolyn) also practice circumcision. Even the ancient Egyptians and some American Indians apparently practiced circumcision. "Circumcision" of course refers to the removal of the male foreskin, that is, the loose and curly skin that usually covers the sensitive penis glans.

Female circumcision has always been a bit mysterious, because it is performed privately and alone. Except for a few people who go to the hospital, most of them are run by folk witch doctors, midwives or relatives and friends as always. An old Ugandan woman who is good at this told us that the traditional cutting tools are iron knives or small blades, sewing is done with ordinary needle and thread, and thorns are even used in some places.

Contrary to female circumcision, male circumcision is not only not required to be abolished, but also being carried out in some areas. In many parts of Uganda and Kenya, male circumcision is usually performed in even years, while individual tribes, such as Bukonjo in western Uganda, only perform it once every 15 years. The time of circumcision is generally chosen in the slack season in July and August or at the end of each year.
