In traditional weddings, marriage is always inseparable from eating eggs, whether it is the groom or the bride! In the rural areas of Hunan and Chu, some still retain an ancient and interesting custom, that is, the whole wedding can not be separated from eggs, so it can be said that you can't get married without eggs. In some mountain villages in eastern Hunan, the man asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman. When the matchmaker comes to the woman's house for the first time, if he eats a bowl of plain noodle soup, it shows that the woman is cold to the matchmaker. If the woman gives the matchmaker egg noodles, it proves that this marriage has hope. Local villagers call this kind of egg "matchmaking egg". If the matchmaker eats the woman's "matchmaking egg", the man has to invite the matchmaker to the woman's house to formally propose marriage. When the woman entertained the matchmaker with a glib tongue, it showed that the woman's family decided to be cold and skeptical about the marriage after investigation. If the woman gives the matchmaker four eggs, it means that the marriage is half done. Similarly, the woman goes to the man's house to "watch the door" (blind date), and no matter how many people there are, the man will treat them with eggs, four for each to show respect. On the day of engagement, the man who proposed marriage, the matchmaker and two relatives from the same family went to the woman's house to finalize the wedding date, and the woman's house also served eggs. Similarly, everyone has four eggs in the bowl. On the wedding day, eggs have become a must for guests. In the early morning, the relatives and matchmakers selected by the man's family to pick up relatives from the woman's house should start eating eggs, which means wealth and frequent visits. After the bride receives it, the person who sent the bride will eat a bowl of boiled eggs in the man's room, and the number is even, either two or four; The bride and groom each have a bowl of eggs and chicken legs, wishing the newlyweds happiness. The next morning after the wedding, the newlyweds finished washing, and the groom's mother walked into the new house with the steamed chicken of Codonopsis pilosula, which had been prepared early last night. The bride and groom closed the door and ate slowly. There are two boiled eggs in the chicken. Everyone eats an egg first, then a drumstick, and then a chicken, indicating that two hearts are soul mates and will never be separated. If the chicken can't be eaten in one meal, the bride and groom will continue to eat at noon until they are finished, so that they can grow old together. However, in some villages in Shaoyang, central Hunan, their marriage customs are different. When a man goes to a woman's house for a blind date, no matter whether the woman agrees or not, the visitor is a guest, and the woman will entertain the blind date with eggs: if the woman disagrees, only boil an egg for the man, which means "wishful thinking"; If you like that man, beat a dozen egg soups. There are two, which means "man". On the eve of engagement, relatives and friends will send eggs to both men and women to congratulate them on their success. When getting married, men and women should put red happy characters on the eggs, which are called "the number one scholar" (strong and round), and send them to the bridal chamber together with red dates, peanuts, longan and melon seeds for the newlyweds to eat, which means "the number one scholar will be born early". When a girl gets married, in addition to other marriage documents, a pair of big goose eggs should be prepared at home, because the homonym of "goose" and "harmony" indicates the harmony and happiness of the married couple. On their wedding night, the newlyweds should eat "Zi Tea" (sugar tea eggs) before going to bed, wishing them an early birth.
