Do you know what the bride sticker means, Jieyang's,

When the two parties get married, they can date each other, "look at the family style." In the old society, when we looked at the rural family style, we not only looked at other people's land, houses and grain, but also paid attention to the three pots at home: rice pot, water pot, toilet pot, rice pot, grinding pot and fruit mixing pot. If you have no objection to the family style, you can hire it.

There should be a 12 version of the red sticker, which should list the amount of the dowry of the man and the dowry of the woman.

The format of this 12 is "Opening the Door", "General", "Visiting the Church", "Visiting the Church", "Visiting the Church", "Visiting the Church" and "Visiting the Church" respectively.

The old marriage customs in Chaoshan are different from county to county, but they are basically the same. The usual procedure is:

First, propose. Usually arranged by the matchmaker or introduced by relatives and friends.

Second, get married. The matchmaker sent the woman's birthday sticker to the man, so that he could invite the star family to get married on the birthdays of both men and women. As Mr. Jing speculated, it doubled.

Birthdates of Fang won't "conflict", so he put Geng in front of "Kitchen God". Within three days, everything went well at home, and it was certain that it was a combination. If something goes wrong.

Things, is considered to be "not", the woman's Geng Gao back.

Third, open employment. When the two parties get married, they can have a blind date and "look at the family style". If there is no objection, they can hire it. The man should be on the 12 red post.

Number of dowry and bride's dowry. In the old days, the bride price was called "sprinkling water", and what "drinks" went with what dowry. There are different levels of "drinks". The first category is called "food"

The second category is called "eat a few baskets", the third category is called "eat baskets", the fourth category is called "baskets" and the fifth category is called "chicken wine". Chicken wine is the lowest, poor man

If he can't pay back the money, the man will give the woman two cocks, two Jin of pork, two pots of wine and several pairs of eggs. The bride's parents also give little dowry. Object genus

The mantissa of engagement fee usually needs two "nine" digits, which is a good sign for a long time. Hire a red sticker and send it to the woman's home by the matchmaker. If the woman approves, male.

Convenient to send an engagement.

Fourth, engagement. Sending an engagement, also known as "accepting talents". On auspicious days, the man sends the agreed bride price money to the woman's house, and the woman returns two pieces of candy to the man after the intersection.

Putting pomegranate flowers in a bag is called "employment".

After being hired, both men and women give a packet of sugar packets to relatives and friends, which is called "being popular". Relatives and friends congratulated each other, and the gifts for the woman were cloth and flowers.

Gifts such as powder are called "adding boxes".

In the old society, men and women could not ask each other's names before they were recruited, and even after they were engaged, they could not greet each other and communicate with each other.

Letters. Therefore, in the old society, men and women didn't know each other except blood and marriage until the red cloth was uncovered. Before the son-in-law goes to court, he can't either.

Go to my wife's house.

"Going to class" is actually a kind of etiquette to entertain a new son-in-law. In the past, after a daughter got married, Jieyang's parents had to choose an auspicious day, or

Take advantage of the lively performance of the village god tour to prepare a banquet for the son-in-law. The son-in-law must wear a "gown" and sit at the banquet. This is called a "red table". then

Fifth, get married. The man chooses the wedding date, writes it down in red pen and sends it to the woman's home, which is called "reporting the day". Before a woman gets married, she should invite an elderly woman to "pull her face"

When pulling a face, the woman first powders and lubricates her face. Then, open a circle of yarn with both hands and bite the other end with your teeth.

Biting and scratching a woman's face "wrings" the dirt off her face, which is also equivalent to massage and plastic surgery. Before getting married, girls should also treat their sisters to a good meal.

Beet, sleeping in front of a stove covered with straw, wishes to get married and start a family, has a good relationship and a sweet and beautiful life.

In the old society of Jieyang County, girls slept in the grass shop the night before they got married, just like prisoners before execution.

Mr. Huang Guangqi said that this custom originated from a vicious stepmother in the past. This stepmother will be very happy to marry and humiliate the daughter left by her predecessor.

It's like sending someone to death row. Unexpectedly, after this woman got married, she made a fortune and her children prospered. Since then, people have followed suit and followed suit.

Sixth, get married. When the woman gets married, the man prepares colorful sedan chairs, relatives and friends prepare costumes, and accompany the groom to the woman's house to get married.

Fashionable women get married, and the procedure for men to get married is like this.

After the arrival of the man's sedan chair, the bride's father or clan elders poured a bowl of water on the top of the sedan chair and said auspicious words: "When the bowl of water was poured on the sedan chair, the daughter became a lady." new

Before getting on the sedan chair, Niang should say goodbye to her parents, choking, indicating that she can't bear to say goodbye to her parents who raised her, and leave some eyes.

Tears are a "guy" (wealth) to my mother's family, which was called "rhyme" in ancient times.

The bridesmaid and sister-in-law accompanied the bride into the sedan chair and left together.

My uncle (the younger brother of the bride) "whipped the oil bottle" and accompanied my sister to get married.

The guests' family are also picking red cloth bags to "press the sedan chair" with the wedding girl. The sedan chair was carried to the man's door, and another boy bowed to the door, and then the groom fanned it with a paper fan in the sedan chair.

In the old society of Huilai County, when a girl married her husband's family, she had to plant two plants of "grass head incense" (sedge) and two plants of "canna" brought from her family.

In the vegetable garden. According to Mr. Wang Yongyi's textual research, this custom originated from a folk story.

After the defeat of Zhao Jian, the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he fought fiercely with the Yuan Army in a place called Qian Qiu, about 0/0 miles north of Huilai County. Shaodi

Zhao Min was exhausted and fell asleep on the grass. When he woke up, Yuan Bing had run away, but the place where he slept was a green meadow.

This kind of grass is called "sedge" locally. The young emperor said to sedge, "I will give you thousands of descendants." The breeze caresses and the grass rises and falls, nodding and thanking. Shaodi

Happy, he ordered his men to dig some plants as a souvenir. When he took the sedge, a fragrance overflowed from the grass roots, and the young emperor blurted out, "It smells good."

Since then, people have called sedge "Caotouxiang" and used it as a mascot. "Married couples" are also called "grass-headed couples".

Chaoshan old marriage also has the custom of "turning back". After the girl got married, she went back to her family for the first time, which was called "the first time". Going home is usually not overnight.

The second is to stay for a day or two, and the third is to stay 12 days to a month, but the number of days to stay is generally even. At present, the folk still retain the custom of "returning to measures".

However, they usually come back after a few days of marriage. Come out and turn around twice after going back to your mother's house, even if you go back to your mother's house for two or three times, you should make a program.

It's just that everything is simple. Some of them are already good.
