Tibetan wedding greetings have a unique national style. Singing and dancing are the main forms of celebration. Wedding congratulations on rape are a poetic artistic activity. For example, in Gansu, Qinghai and Tibetan areas, on the wedding day, according to traditional customs, the man's family will hold a banquet, accompany the bride to the groom's representative office, praise the banquet, thank the guests and bless the newlyweds. These contents are all expressed in poetry, so playing this role requires certain literary talent and social knowledge, and all rappers with certain prestige and good writing should be invited. At the wedding reception, after the guests tasted the delicious food and wine, the "Wow" invited by the woman began to rap "Wedding Toast". Messages have certain procedures and contents, which can be edited by yourself. It is impromptu, lyrical, flexible, lively and interesting, generally including praise for wine, tea and tents, hope for in-laws and education for son-in-law. There used to be words praising religion, living Buddha and human beings. Now, the wedding message has deleted outdated paragraphs, inherited and carried forward the essence of democracy, and at the same time added the content of praising socialism. Wedding invitations are a group of exciting long poems with strong literary flavor and certain artistic value, which are quite popular among the masses.
Below, I will introduce some fragments of their wedding greetings for your taste.
One is "Wedding blessing song" by Labrang, Gansu Province, which was dictated by Gong Quecai, a famous singer and Tibetan scholar, before being recorded and sorted out.
First of all, "Kewa" depicts the happy scene on the wedding day, which is unique, with both national characteristics and local flavor.
The most beautiful thing on the grassland is the golden lotus.
Trollius only blooms once a year;
When the dew is falling and the spring breeze is blowing on your face,
The golden lotus will raise a charming face.
The sweetest thing in the world is the fruit of love.
The fruit of love only bears once in a lifetime,
When love is strong and the heart is the same,
The fruit of love will spit out intoxicating fragrance.
Today
Flowers are bright, fruits are red,
The day that young people yearn for most is coming!
The golden light wheel smiles in the sky,
The silver jade dragon jumps in the clouds,
The twinkling of nine stars,
The rumbling spring thunder rolled across the ground,
Colorful flowers cover every canyon,
Cuckoo flies like a mountain spring,
Magpies kept calling from the top of the tent.
This is really a rare good day.
This is the first day of good luck,
This is the only happy day,
This is a success. On the first day,
A hundred thousand snow-capped mountains shake off their silver helmets,
A thousand rivers put on spring clothes,
The happy morning glow filled five rivers and ten rivers.
In the face of this lotus-like wedding banquet,
The song in my chest,
The waves are rough;
The song in my heart,
The tide surged like a flood.
Congratulation answers people: Today, this honey-sweet day, today's picturesque life, did it fall from the sky? Does it grow on Mustang Beach? Is it a gift from Bodhisattva Baidu? No, not at all. We watered it with sweat, developed it with our hands, and created it with our wisdom. These short sentences profoundly praised the people's labor and wisdom, and subtly criticized the wrong idea of superstitious fate.
When talking about wine, on the one hand, it lists famous wines from all over the world, on the other hand, it praises the special function of wine, which not only introduces the knowledge of wine to the audience, but also expresses the cordial feelings of the Tibetan people for wine, and repeatedly sends parallelism sentences, which increases the appeal of poetry.
This is the fruit wine by Bailong River.
This is Gu Xiang wine from the East Coast.
This is Tao Lufan's wine,
This is Kawajian's highland barley wine.
This is the friendship wine of national unity,
This is the prosperous spring wine of the motherland.
Please drink it,
This mellow and delicious wine,
This is the longevity wine for the elderly.
This is the wisdom wine for young people.
The 99-year-old man drank it,
Will be as young as a nineteen-year-old boy;
19-year-old boy drank it,
Will be as smart as a ninety-nine-year-old man;
60-year-old aunt drank it,
Singing songs that make larks ashamed,
A fifteen-year-old girl drank it.
Jump into the clouds happily.
Speaking of the bride and groom, it is not only to say some polite words wishing them a happy life, but more importantly, to put forward their future efforts, which gives them a strong spirit of the times.
Last glass of wine,
Ask the newlyweds to drink it all at once,
A happy combination,
Like a fine horse with a golden saddle,
Just like rock sugar milk tea,
Like nodding with a steel knife,
Put wings on the ideal!
Life will be sweet and beautiful!
Another wedding message was written by Qinghai to my family. This congratulatory message not only tells the formation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, praises one's hometown, praises teacups, praises wine and other traditional contents, but also contains several innovative lyrics, which are rich in words and emotions, and are very touching. This paper selects several paragraphs and makes a brief comment.
There is an opening paragraph, mainly modest words, but euphemistic and interesting, which can make the meeting lively.
Today, distinguished guests come to celebrate,
Special wedding speech reception,
I am a nobody,
I want to make a solemn statement first:
You're not born smart,
And lack the ability to learn well the day after tomorrow.
What you see is like a trace,
All I hear is the sound in my ear.
Courage is smaller than mustard seed,
Always talking with trepidation.
First, there is no manuscript to read.
Second, there is no book to recite,
Third, there is no genius in public speaking.
Only sincere as snow.
I'm timid in front of you,
Because I'm young.
The elders sat on the table,
Please don't say that I am not good at words;
The young man sitting in the middle seat,
Please don't criticize my poems;
Ladies sitting at the bottom,
Please don't stop laughing.
Speaking of the socialist motherland, it is sincere, powerful and vivid, arousing people's infinite reverie and enhancing their confidence in devoting themselves to the four modernizations.
This cup of wine is dedicated to the motherland,
I have infinite love for my motherland.
She has the wise leadership of the party,
She is a family of one billion people.
She is a paradise for people of all ethnic groups,
She resolutely exercised dictatorship over the enemy.
Working people are the masters of their own affairs,
Drive away the darkness and welcome the light.
Speaking of the great party, listing one fact after another is like drawing the latest and most beautiful picture, which makes people sit up and take notice, arouses beautiful waves in their hearts, loves the party more and trusts it more.
I want to praise this great party,
Like that golden sun in the sky,
Ten thousand golden lights shine on the earth,
People like to see flowers in full bloom.
Because of the leadership of the Party,
People of all ethnic groups have been liberated.
Everything in China is being updated.
Beautiful spring scenery is everywhere.
The ethnic policy is glorious,
Illuminate all directions of the motherland.
People of all ethnic groups are like brothers,
It's like a perfect fusion.
The motherland is becoming stronger and stronger,
Life is getting better every day.
People of all ethnic groups, regardless of gender,
Dressed like a rainbow.
Diet is like sweet honey,
Words are like cuckoo songs.
Happiness is complete and auspicious,
Thanks to the great party.
The new wedding information is developed from the traditional wedding information. It should be noted that new aria are being created, and the old aria still occupies a certain proportion. At the same time, the new aria has a short time, although its content is brand-new, but there are still some shortcomings in language tempering, writing skills, image building and so on. In a word, wedding greetings are closely related to Tibetan social life and have a certain mass base, which is still developing today. This flower of literature formed in history should be inherited, reformed and innovated. According to the new situation and the aesthetic taste of the people, writing some quality and distinctive wedding invitations will still be welcomed by the people and receive certain artistic effects.
