Folk customs of Xinjian village

There are all kinds of customs in this village, and each custom is different. Hakka weddings are organized according to traditional customs. Minnan immigrants are simple, and the local customs of Ansha are different from those of Hakkas. For example, the groom must go to the woman's house to pick up the bride when he gets married, which is more complicated in etiquette. The following is a brief introduction. On the first day, the married man went to the woman's house and picked out two big boxes and three small boxes. The big box contains three offerings, rice, twelve packs of six items, and a small box of cigarettes, sugar, firecrackers and incense. Six articles were wrapped in red paper, which read: pure and clean, getting married, having a baby early, fragrant tea buds, dragons. In the evening, the relatives of the bride's family are on both sides, and the groom worships. When the woman gets married, she hangs a string of lotus seeds, longan, peanuts and a bronze mirror from the man on her body. The groom put on red silk, hat, golden flowers, took relatives back to the house, lit them with torches and knocked gongs to clear the way. When visiting the church, the relatives of the elders are on both sides, and the bride and groom stand at attention. The groom bows, makes three rounds of wine, and the emcee presides. Worship the door and the sky, and the husband and wife will reunite forever. Second, it is auspicious to worship the land every year. Worship Dong in Yaochi three times, and your wealth and splendor are better than Shi Chong's. Jade Temple visited the Queen Mother of the West, and the couple lived as long as Peng Zu. Worship the ancestors five times in class, and the husband and wife live a happy life. Six parents are in the hall, and my child is in mourning today, tired and serene. Seven worship Gong Bing, Xie Huaiyin as the medium. There are 800 brothers and uncles such as Confucius and Fan who help to build a family. Nine couples toasted each other. The bride was introduced to the kitchen god by the bridesmaid, scooped water into the pot and put rock sugar in it. Then enter the bridal chamber and lift the veil. Grandma will make some new clothes for her grandchildren when the children are wearing shoes. At noon, there will be a chicken sacrifice in the main hall, and the tray will be filled with scales, onions, red eggs, scales, calendars, abacus, writing brushes and silver coins. Take whatever you want from Jou Yuan. For example, the first thing a child takes represents what he wants to do when he grows up. ★ Sweet onion: stands for growing up and being smart. Scale abacus: it means that you will do business when you grow up. Measurement: It means to be a tailor when you grow up. Yellow calendar brush: it means you can study when you grow up. Red egg: It represents good luck and peace. Silver Circle: Represents wealth and brilliance.

(Five Blessingg's sixth birthday), a few to dozens of tables will be set for the elder's birthday party, and then a large-scale birthday ceremony will be held for the 60th birthday. In the morning, there will be several square tables in the hall, with tributes, peaches, tea wine and birthday presents from friends and relatives. A high-backed chair will be placed on both sides of the main hall to light incense. When the son and daughter-in-law kowtowed and offered incense, the master of ceremonies presided over the ceremony, singing and worshipping. ★ Happiness is like the East China Sea. Qian Qian is getting old. Second, life expectancy is more than a thousand years in Nanshan. Three worshippers are reborn as hills, and they are not old in spring and autumn. Four worship splendor, wealth and longevity. Five worshippers are full of children and grandchildren, and live a long life.
