Get married. Once upon a time, there were many marriage rules in Taiwan Province Province, and people with the same surname did not get married. There are two kinds of marriage: large-scale marriage (legal marriage) and small-scale marriage (married or semi-married). Generally, it takes four stages: marriage negotiation, engagement, dismissal and wedding reception. The age of marriage is generally not more than 30 for men and 25 for women. At present, it has been changed from matchmaker introduction to free love, sedan chair for car, and court marriage. However, the extravagance and waste of weddings in Taiwan Province Province is very serious, which brings a heavy burden to many young people. In rural areas, some people are willing to get married collectively. The marriage of Gaoshan people is monogamous, and most of them are decided by their parents when they are young, so they often divorce after marriage.
Funeral. Funeral is similar to Chinese mainland's funeral. After the parents died, the children woke up that night, and the whole family mourned together, providing a bowl of rice, burning paper money and making shroud for the deceased. At the same time, tell relatives and friends, buy coffins, and then sacrifice. After the sacrifice, the child helped the body and died indoors. Breakfast was given to "filial piety rice", and they took turns crying. Then they chose a day for the funeral. The funeral procession is like a long queue, and relatives and friends are sent to the suburbs. Filial piety man bowed his thanks and said goodbye. Then truck the coffin to the cemetery for burial. Cremation is quite common at present. Some places in Taiwan Province Province have funeral parlours, crematoriums and cemeteries, and some Buddhist temples and pagodas also have ashes for storage.
Fertility. When a woman gives birth to a child, she must tell her relatives and friends. This is called "good news". At the full moon, red eggs will be distributed to relatives, friends and neighbors to show good luck. Pregnant women give birth to a full moon, which is called "confinement". Most of them take sesame oil pork liver as non-staple food within one month. Grandparents must give clothes and gifts to the baby when it is full moon, April and one year old. Taiwan Province Province has a serious preference for boys over girls. Male students hold grand ceremonies regardless of their first birthday, 16 years old, while female students greatly simplify or even do not hold ceremonies. Over the past 30 years, the authorities of Taiwan Province Province have been carrying out the "Family Birth Control Program" under the slogan "Two children are just right" and "Girls are as good as boys".
Shouqing. Taiwan Province compatriots like to celebrate birthdays. When men and women grow up, every birthday, their families will prepare vegetarian noodles and incense sticks and hold a simple celebration ceremony. The average life expectancy starts at 50 years old. 60 is the next birthday, 70 is the middle birthday, 80 is the last birthday, 90 is the old birthday, 100 is the future birthday.
