The relationship between three dynasties wines

The third day of a baby's birth is called the Three Dynasties, and the ceremony held on this day is called the Three Dynasties Ceremony. On this day, many ethnic groups bathe babies, entertain guests and accept congratulations from relatives and friends, so it is also called the three-washing ceremony in some places.

The Dong people attach great importance to the birth of babies and hold grand three dynasties ceremonies for them. In Dong township, the three dynasties ceremony is called three dynasties wine, which is characterized by a big banquet for guests, usually held on the third day after the baby is born or on a single day within 10 days.

At that time, most of the guests invited to the celebration were relatives of the woman and generally did not invite friends. All the guests should be here before noon, except grandpa, who must be here after sunset. Moreover, all guests should give gifts, among which the most generous gift is from my grandmother, mainly pork, glutinous rice, eggs, Dong cloth, Dong cotton, sour grass carp, silver collar, silver lock, silver bracelet, two new quilts, a pair of wooden boxes or dressing tables, etc. In addition, my grandmother had to bear half the food and meat of three dynasties.

According to the custom of Dong nationality, children should not prepare their clothes in advance before they are born, and they are usually wrapped in soft old dresses after they are born. After the ceremony of the Three Dynasties, the baby can only put on the temporary new children's clothes. Therefore, during the three dynasties ceremony, the relatives of my grandmother (such as menstruation, menstruation, etc. ) Very busy. On the one hand, they have to make straps, clothes and skirts for newborn babies; On the other hand, we should hold the baby in turn, look at it from left to right, and say something auspicious and beneficial. Then, the young man invited menstruation to sing a famous song for the baby. Menstruation is answered by singing. After discussion, grandma decided and announced the baby's name.

At noon, the three dynasties banquet began. Guests should eat sweet wine and eggs first, then oil tea, and then have lunch. Lunch is generally rich and grand, while dinner is relatively rare. Many foods are provided by women's families, commonly known as eating and enduring family meals.

After dinner, people will play pipa songs for babies to express their blessings. After the banquet, female guests should bring one or three pieces of fat meat strung with bamboo pieces when they go home, which means that there are too many meat dishes in the three dynasties banquet held by the host family to celebrate the birth of their children. Take the kebabs home, play with camellias, and invite neighboring women to eat them to tell good news and share happiness. This is commonly known as the meat skewering ceremony.
