Yi people's weddings have preserved many ancient customs, such as splashing water, wiping face and fasting before marriage. In the Yi people, if both parties have the will and get the consent of the woman's parents, they can hold a wedding. On the wedding day, the memorial tablet of the Yi people, the Western God, will be dedicated. When the bride gets married, the bride's brother or younger brother will splash water on the groom.
