Marriage custom of Chinese hamburger

In the old Chengcheng County, men were called "daughter-in-law" when they got married, and women were called "girls" when they got married. The age of marriage is generally 15 to 17. The wedding ceremony is: before marriage, the man chooses an auspicious day (commonly known as "sunset") and sends it to the woman's home. After the consent of the woman's family, the two sides prepare for the wedding, and relatives and friends send jewelry and clothes to the woman to be married, commonly known as "adding boxes". A few days before the wedding, the matchmaker sends the wedding clothes, jewelry and coins to the woman's house, which is called "salute". On the morning of the wedding, the woman hired a female senior to open her face (pull the hair off her forehead and neck and braid it behind her head). The man first presented the ancestral tablet in the hall, and then hired four bearers, led by the elders of the clan, to meet the bride in the sedan chair. After the bride's banquet, the bride wears red gauze on her head and embroidered red shoes on her feet, and her brother or sister-in-law sits in the chair. After getting on the sedan chair, the elder brother or younger brother rides in front of the sedan chair and presses the sedan chair, and other family members and relatives follow according to the dowry. After the sedan chair stopped at the entrance of Nanjia Village, the groom wore a flower arrangement hat, a robe, HongLing on his shoulders and a red horse. He bowed deeply in front of the colorful door under the guidance of the deacon, then turned his horse's head and led the sedan chair towards the house. After getting off the sedan chair, you can hear firecrackers and drums, throw four meat buns at the four corners of the sedan chair in turn, and then circle the sedan chair three times with hay torches. After the deacon called relatives to avoid, he accompanied two women to help the bride get off the sedan chair and entered the door and yard under the guidance of the groom. Then the groom takes off the bride's hijab, and the bride and groom worship heaven and earth together for the first time, then their ancestors and parents, and then the bride and groom worship each other. After the ceremony, the bride and groom entered the bridal chamber. The next morning, a cooking stove was held for the bride to confirm the size of the ceremony. After the ceremony, the elderly women in kinship led the bride from door to door to pay tribute to people and neighbors. The groom, led by his elders, went to Zhang Yue's house to "recognize the door" and "recognize the size".
