The marriage customs of Minnan people are strange and amazing. For example, in the wedding procession, the thick pig feet in the red bamboo and blue are particularly eye-catching, and the locals call them "pig feet in front of sedan chairs". Whenever someone marries a daughter-in-law, among the gifts to be sent to the woman's home, pork knuckle meat with the same leg size is indispensable (meaning that the two in-laws are happy). The weight should be about 20 Jin per foot. If it is too small, it will be considered stingy by the woman. The joints of pig's trotters should be tied up with red silk thread, and the other end should be wrapped in red paper into a red envelope, in which is 12 yuan, which means that you have no worries about food and clothing every day for the next 12 months. Then put in two red baskets for workmanship inspection (that is a gift box specially used for weddings, commonly known as red baskets). In addition, the pole with "red basket" is also exquisite, and red paper should be stuck at both ends of the pole for good luck. When you arrive at the woman's house, the pig's feet in front of the sedan chair should be placed in the hall of the woman's house. The bride's parents should count the pig's feet and the gifts they brought, and symbolically cut a piece of pork, weighing about 2 kg. If it is cut too big, it will be said that the family is greedy, and the rest will be taken back to the man's house by the wedding team together with the dowry.

It is said that "pig's feet in front of sedan chair" was very popular in southern Fujian as early as the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the indigenous people in southern Fujian often rebelled, and the imperial court often sent troops into Fujian to quell the chaos. At that time, when my daughter got married, Minnan people were crying and very sad. The team leader sent someone to inquire. It turns out that southern Fujian is sparsely populated, and there are towering old trees and wolves everywhere. Girls are often attacked by tigers on their way to marriage, and some even lose their lives (another legend is that the Tiangou bit the bride), so they cry very sadly. Some people in the army felt strange and brought the matter back to Beijing to report. Cheng, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, came up with a plan: the tiger was forced by hunger and hurt people, but the tiger was born to eat meat, so he could hang pork in front of the sedan chair. As soon as a tiger appears, they throw it to the tiger to fill their stomachs, and the bride and everyone can follow suit. Because it is easy to carry, the whole piece of meat is hung in front of the sedan chair, so it is called "trotters in front of the sedan chair".
