On the marriage procedure in liushi area.
On the wedding day, you need to find a blessed old man (longevity, children and grandchildren, etc.). ) to make a new bed. At high tide, the groom's family set off for their parents' house and set off firecrackers when they set off. Accompanying the groom is called Hanglang. There can be several walkers, and one of them holds the lantern. Besides, the matchmaker is going with him. Even if you know the bride yourself, you need to find a matchmaker. Traditionally, in China, sexual intercourse without a matchmaker is a habit. The groom is holding a bunch of flowers and a red parasol. When he arrives at the bride's house, the bride's house will set off firecrackers to welcome him. When you get to the bride's house, the bride's house will entertain guests. Then take the bride to the groom's house at low tide. At this time, the groom needs to hold a red parasol.
The groom's house set off firecrackers to see him off.
The motorcade takes the bride to the groom's house, and relatives and friends who come at this time can also get together at the groom's house. Then go to the hotel for dinner and start the wedding ceremony. During the dinner, the friend table was the last toast. According to custom, friends are here to make trouble, so friends' tables can't be dissolved until the end. Similarly, the friends table may be more difficult for newcomers, such as performing programs and the like.
It's over when you get rid of your friends.
The customs in Liushi area are complex, but the wedding is quite simple. What's really complicated is engagement.
In addition, the high tide and low tide mentioned here refer to the flood season of Oujiang River, which is different every day.
