Making the bed, carrying the car, paying homage, setting wine, offering tea to the bride and returning to the door are the wedding procedures of Wuchuan people.

Wuchuan is known as "the hometown of Cantonese opera". Every year, more than 40 performing groups from Guangdong and Guangxi enter Wuchuan. They have been "lurking" in urban and rural areas for many years, especially the "Spring Class" and "Autumn Class". At the peak, 60 troupes gathered. In rural areas where the "Year-end Festival" is celebrated, dramas often last for several days or even a month at most, sometimes making the troupe "have no drama to perform". Therefore, it has long been said that "Wuchuan supported the Guangdong and Guangxi Cantonese Opera Troupe".
