Binzhou Yangxin wedding custom

In the marriage customs of Hui people, there are two kinds of people who are very important: matchmakers and uncles of both men and women. There is a saying in the Hui nationality: "The beauty of a daughter-in-law depends on the matchmaker's mouth." It means that with a good matchmaker, you can marry a smart, virtuous, hardworking and kind wife, which shows the importance of matchmaker. After the matchmaker repeatedly agrees that men and women know each other better, the matchmaker and the man will go to the woman's house for a blind date with simple gifts at the wedding ceremony. In the process of blind date, not only should the woman's parents meet her son-in-law, but also an "accidental" opportunity should be deliberately arranged for men and women to meet. If the woman's family is willing to accept the gift from the man, it means "phase" Then, agree on the engagement date.

Fix the wedding date on the main hemp day.

Hui people call engagement "Daoxi". The best day to celebrate happiness is Sunday. In the early morning of this day, both men and women will go to Nietie to place their good hopes. Give the woman a certain gift before engagement. Then the man's uncle or matchmaker and the woman agreed on a wedding date. Generally, the wedding day is also the main hemp day, depending on whether it is a double day of the solar calendar or the lunar calendar. Later, the woman's parents returned gifts such as clothes, shoes and socks to the future son-in-law and waited for the wedding day.

Engaged men and women can't meet for a month before marriage. On the day before the wedding or in the early morning of that day, the groom went to the woman's house to hold the "Nikahan" ceremony. After the ceremony, the man can marry the bride. Hui people call the bride "new sister". After washing and dressing, the new sister should have a good cry before leaving. Even if there are no tears, squeeze out a few drops, or she will be laughed at by others. On the way to the wedding, if you meet a well, cover it with red cloth or red paper, indicating that the couple will not encounter bumps in the future. You can't meet other wedding teams on the way to the wedding. If they meet unexpectedly, brides should exchange belts with each other to prevent "rushing to celebrate".

At the ceremony, guests will ask the couple for "happy events". The groom then picked up a large plate of walnuts and red dates that had already been prepared and scattered all over the floor, which attracted men, women and children to scramble for them to celebrate. Then the host invited the guests to the wedding banquet.
