Little girls don't pay New Year's greetings. Birthday 9. The nine wedding customs of temple fairs once spread an ancient wedding custom in rural areas such as Gao 'an and Fengcheng. Although there is no lack of feudal backwardness, this custom condenses history and the customs of a place and an era; From its changes, we can hardly hear the progress of the times. The so-called "nine wedding customs" are the nine formal etiquette that a couple need from acquaintance to marriage. These "nine wedding customs" are: blind date, door-to-door, engagement, seeing off, consummating marriage, crying marriage, wedding, quarreling and returning to the door. The so-called "blind date" is the first time we meet. Both men and women choose the date and place, and then, about 8- 10 people from both men and women and their parents, matchmakers and immediate family members meet at the selected place. If both men and women don't express their opinions, the man will give the woman a meeting gift at that time. The meeting gift is generally not very big, just a gesture. Afterwards, the man paid for a banquet to entertain all the people present on both sides. The so-called "going through the door" means that both men and women go to each other's house to recognize relatives. The day of "going through the door" is also a good day to choose. First, the man came to the woman's house with a few pounds of meat, noodles and cakes, and the woman's house was greeted with firecrackers. Then the woman's parents took the man to see relatives. The man usually comes to the woman's house in the morning, and it must be an even number. After breakfast, the man invites the woman to his house for lunch, and the woman's house must also come to the man's house in pairs. When the woman goes to the man's house, the man's parents must give gifts to the future daughter-in-law, including money, bracelets, earrings, rings, etc. When the woman goes home, the man must also send her a good quality material. "Engagement" means that the man gives the woman a certain "bride price money". How much "gift money" is drawn up by the man and the woman, and the amount is generally large. In addition to the "bride price money", the man must also send 200-300 Jin of pork and 100 Jin of noodles to the woman's home. On the day of engagement, the woman's family wants relatives and the whole village in the guest house. Generally speaking, after the engagement, the names of husband and wife are basically determined, and there is no special reason for both parties not to get married. "Farewell Day": After the "engagement", the man can set a date as the wedding day. The man went to the woman's house to copy the woman's birth sign and took the "Geng Tie". "Geng Tie" must be written in red paper, and then ask the fortune teller to reconcile the "eight characters" according to heavenly stems and earthly branches and the five elements of Yin and Yang: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Both men and women are "eight characters", so choose an auspicious day, write the wedding date on red paper and give it to the woman's home. If the woman's family accepts, the two sides will make intense wedding preparations. "consummation": the day before the wedding, the man's family lights four candles at the four corners of the new bed in the evening, and then chooses two boys and two girls to sit at the four corners of the new bed, and asks the elderly mother-in-law in the village to preside over consummation and say something auspicious, of course, most of them are giving birth early. The night before the wedding, there was another habit in the woman's family, that is, "crying for marriage." That night, the mother and daughter slept together, and the mother cried and explained to her daughter some experiences of being a woman and life at home, and taught her daughter to be filial to her in-laws, unite with her neighbors, and live in harmony with her husband and wife. The mother will also give her daughter some money or other ornaments such as gold and silver. Some girls who are about to get married have also made many handmade insoles, which will be pressed at the bottom of the box that night. On the wedding day, the mother and daughter cried again. In some places, married women show their reluctance and attachment to their parents by dieting or simply not eating anything from the first day of marriage. Of course, the most lively and grand thing is the wedding day. The man's house invited a group of trumpeters, and a dozen young adults marched to the woman's house with long poles. When she came to the woman's house, she moved out a series of dowries (such as tables and chairs, sofas, wardrobes, electrical appliances, etc.). ) Go to the door and tie them up with long poles. The bride wears a red hijab and carries the groom, either by car, by bike or by horse. Blowing and beating all the way to the man's house. Worship the ancestors of heaven and earth first, then the guests. When visiting the house, the guest should give the couple a gift, no matter how much, according to the guest's wishes. After meeting the bride, they both entered the bridal chamber. The bride put away the red coat, green trousers and red shoes she wore from her parents' home. These clothes are absolutely not allowed to be brought back to her parents' home. Otherwise, the woman is suspected of divorce or divorce, and her family is suspected of causing bad luck. On the wedding night, no matter how rich or poor, gongs and drums should be invited to make noise in the new house. The crowd sang, danced, solve riddles on the lanterns, smoked and toasted around the bride and groom, having a lively and interesting time. The new house is in trouble, and most places only fry rice flowers, cook beans and make tea and wine to entertain guests. When the couple got tired of playing, the crowd dispersed. Three days after marriage, the newlyweds both went out. The man visits his parents-in-law, and the woman visits her parents, brother-in-law, brother-in-law and other relatives, commonly known as "Huimen". On the day of returning home, the man will give gifts to the woman's parents, and the woman's family will hold a banquet. In the afternoon, the husband and wife must go home, rain or shine, and may not stay overnight. The "Nine Marriage Customs" have been circulating in these areas for hundreds of years. Nowadays, more and more young people are no longer keen on such complicated customs, but most of their parents come from these nine wedding customs. People in different times have different behavior standards and value orientations. Looking back at history can make us feel the feudalism of the past and arouse our pride in today and our love and yearning for modern civilization. -Bullfighting is safe. Tujia village holds a traditional folk competitive activity-bullfighting every year in the early May of the lunar calendar. In the bullring, a cow is strong, mostly about 300 or 400 kilograms. The owner specially bathed the cows for this day's competition. Combed hair, shining in the sun, is very charming. When watching a bullfight, people pay attention to which cow is stronger and prepare to pay a high price after the game. A cow whose head was carefully dressed by its owner appeared one after another. After entering the arena, the two cows became a group, opened their fighting postures and pushed each other with their horns, showing no weakness. When the two cows were evenly matched, the surrounding audience cheered, and the owners of both sides were extremely nervous at this time, hoping that their cows could beat their opponents. After a fierce struggle, it finally won. When the owner of the winner saw that his cow had won, the whole family was as excited as winning the Olympic champion. After several rounds of fighting, the "fighter" who won the ranking wore red flowers and looked arrogant. Car owners can get bonuses on the spot. -.30 in the early morning, every family prepared a big retort, put half-cooked and unripe rice into the retort, put it on a cauldron, and cooked in Jiawang Thermal Power Plant. Choose another place, put the retort well, put a red note on it that says "More than one year", and then set off firecrackers. The rice in the retort becomes "New Year's rice". Sealed rice is not allowed to be opened at will. On the first day and the second day, you are not allowed to cook again, and you are not allowed to eat "old rice". You can only cook miscellaneous rice. In this way, it not only means saving, but also means "surplus" It was not until the New Year tourists came that they opened the lid and ate the "New Year's Eve". At this time, firecrackers will be set off again, once again indicating that "there is savings every year." -28. However, in Hejia, Wuqiao, Gao 'an City, the custom of celebrating the Lunar New Year on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month and eating group wine is still maintained. According to legend, during Zheng De's reign in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1506- 152 1), there was a bully named He Laocai in Wuqiao Hejia. He Laocai is mean and ruthless, and he also exploits and crushes his relatives and nephews. His nephew is called Xue Gouzi (Hu, a famous peasant uprising leader). Xue Gouzi and some poor farmers were exploited by He Laocai, and were forced to go to Hualin Mountain. They put up the banner of "killing the rich and helping the poor" and decided to attack He Laocai on New Year's Eve. But word got out. When Xue Gouzi brought people to kill him, He Laocai spent a year drinking with the whole family as early as the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and then slipped to Gao 'an County with a thief on the 29th. From then on, He regarded New Year's Eve as an unlucky day. In order to avoid this unlucky day, they chose the night on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, which gradually became a custom and has continued to this day. -On the balance beam. On the day of Liang Shang, the host made a banquet and relatives and friends came to congratulate him. When the beam was erected, Ji Hongtian had a large audience. Chicken blood is used as a sacrificial beam for carpenters. Dongfanghong worships Liang. The carpenter clapped his hands and applauded: "Fuyi!" Dong Cai: "Good!" "Portable golden rooster and phoenix call, good! It's good to worship the golden chicken and be lucky! ..... "Call and answer, unique charm. The carpenter cheered and threw out the numbness below, and the children in the village and the women in the countryside rushed to grab it, which was very lively. After the founding of New China, people built new houses, which were designed and built according to the architectural planning. They no longer ask the "fairy" to choose the base according to the old custom. When choosing witches, Lu Ban broke ground in choosing teachers. However, on the bright day, they still talked about poverty. On that day, relatives and friends came to give gifts and congratulations, helped with the vertical fan work, and painted the beams red with the name and auspicious day of the building written on them. Today, in some places, there is still the wind of "offering sacrifices to the beam" and robbing hemp, while in others, candy is used instead. -Post. About half a foot wide: the small ones are scaled down. When making "hanging money", first use a delicate and sharp carving knife to carve rich patterns on high-quality red paper, and then use gold platinum paper to carve corresponding patterns and paste them, showing magnificent scenery. "Hanging money" is a kind of folk paper-cutting art with clear and gorgeous patterns and exquisite patterns. In the old days, it was called "hanging money" because most of the patterns were ancient money shapes. The words on its horizontal board are getting richer and richer. There used to be only "peace" and "harmony", but now there are "* * * good party", "good luck", "live a long life" and so on. As a festive decoration, "hanging money" is as popular as Spring Festival couplets, and it is often matched with Spring Festival couplets on the lintels and shrines, which not only gives people a happy New Year, but also gives people a beautiful enjoyment. However, after the Lantern Festival, this "hanging sign" must be taken off. If you don't take it off, it is said that people who are sleepy will stay with you all the time, which will make the family often doze off, affecting production and not getting a good harvest that year. -There was an old legend. Once upon a time, there lived a family, a couple and a beautiful and lovely little girl. On the first day of the first month, the little girl clamored to pay New Year greetings to the elders at home with her father. When she walked out of the house not far away, suddenly a strong wind blew and the little girl disappeared. In the evening, the girl's father had a dream that his daughter was with Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin said to him, "On the first day of the first month, Fan, the Jade Emperor sent his staff to inspect the world. He saw your little girl as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade outside, and thought that evil spirits were endangering the world, so he caught her in the sky. Your daughter is not considered a monster. Seeing that she is clever, I accepted her as an apprentice, and she can't go back to earth. Please remember, on the first day, it is best not to let girls go out to pay New Year greetings. " Since then, Girls here no longer go out to pay New Year greetings to their elders on the first day of the new year. ................................................................................................................................ When the children in ............................ went to the fields, their parents held two pots of wine and sent them to their grandmother's husband's house to report good news, commonly known as "tooth wine", also known as "eye-opening wine", with a red note on the hip flask and a cypress leaf on their mouth; On the pot cover, give birth to a baby boy and put a pinch of yellow smoke; Give birth to a baby girl and put a pinch of salt. Three days after the baby was born, parents held a banquet, commonly known as "being three dynasties". In addition, "full moon", "full hundred days" and "full one year old" should all be held with wine and banquets. As the saying goes, "wine is served at the age of one, friends and relatives are invited at the age of ten, and wine is served at the age of twenty." Thirty unknown, forty unknown. Fifty kills a chicken, sixty can do it, and seventy flies all over the sky. " However, after a girl is one year old, she can only eat a pair of eggs on her birthday. When men and women reach the age of 60, they are called "sixty-six" old people. Children and grandchildren will celebrate their birthdays with wine according to family circumstances. The base camp of corrupt officials and bad clubs took the opportunity to rip off. In June of the Republic of China 19, Zhang San, a bully in front of the village, celebrated his mother's seventieth birthday by hosting more than 300 drinks, inviting two Beijing classes to sing operas, and the company stood guard for the army, forcing tenants to give gifts without gambling, and plundering the wealth of the people by tens of thousands of yuan (silver dollars). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the improvement of economic conditions, many working people celebrate their elders' birthdays. There are birthday candles, flowers, birthday meat, birthday noodles, birthday shoes, birthday quilts, colorful explosions and other things in front of the hall. The procedure is as follows: set off firecrackers, eat birthday noodles, celebrate birthdays, enter banquets and toast the elderly. The son-in-law should prepare meat, noodles, birthday candles, birthday flowers and birthday celebrations for his parents-in-law. -Farmers around also came to worship and pray for God's blessing. Another "disciple" invited the whole class to sing a play to thank God, which was called "wishing". There are many vendors in the market, which is very lively. On August 2 1 every year in the county, Bodhisattva Gutan "crosses the lane", and villagers take this opportunity to enter the city and transport some agricultural products, handicrafts and daily necessities back to the market for trading. The two cities in the north and south are adjacent to each other, shouting for business, and people are buzzing; There are both puppet juggling and watching "peep show" to entertain and educate. In other towns, temple fairs are often used to sell local products and exchange materials. On March 8, Huayang "Jockey Club" gathered riders from all directions to trade horses; The "Bullfighting Club" in big cities attracts cattle from far and near, and the "Bullfighting Year" is fun. We choose and replace cattle by comparing their advantages and disadvantages. In front of the village, Wuqiao and Wang Jia mainly sell bamboo and wood materials, farm tools and rice grains. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), superstition was broken, and materials were exchanged on the day of temple fairs to invigorate the urban and rural economy. That is what Gao 'an people now call "street".
