The marriage customs of Wuxue also have their own local characteristics. Look at the owner's own conditions and elegance. Generally speaking, the formal marriage relationship between men and women (whether it is free love or matchmaking) mostly has to go through the following procedures: 1. When both men and women on blind date are willing to get married, the matchmaker will usually take the man to visit the woman's house and provide one for both parties. When both men and women are satisfied with each other, marriage is formally confirmed. The woman's family will hold a banquet in honor of the man on an auspicious day, and both sides will be accompanied by important male elders. Usually, the woman will give her son-in-law an engagement present, and the man will also hold a banquet for her on an auspicious day. Both sides will be accompanied by important female elders. Usually, the man will give gifts or gifts to the woman's entourage, and the new wife who goes through the door will receive gold jewelry and gifts from the man. The daily newspaper is about fifteen to twenty days before marriage. According to the eight characters of the bride and groom, the man chooses the auspicious day for marriage, and brings gifts and various gifts to the woman's house to formally inform the wedding date. The dowry must be prepared the day before the wedding. These colorful dowries are a symbol of a woman's status and wealth. In addition to household appliances and daily necessities, there must also be some auspicious things in the dowry, such as scissors (butterfly Qi Fei), spittoon (children's bucket), ruler (fertile land), candy (sweet honey), silver belt (wealth), copper basin, shoes (old age), cypress, lotus seeds and longan (ample food and clothing). On the morning of the wedding, the groom and the man's relatives and friends brought vehicles and other carrying tools to the woman's house to move the dowry items given by the woman to the man's house, and the woman gave a banquet to entertain the man's guests. When the man is moving things, he should improvise and say some corresponding good words in order to successfully move the dowry items. 6. Choose a good day to make the bed. A few days before the wedding, the lucky guy will move the new bed to the right place. Then on the wedding day, a good woman is responsible for making the bed, spreading mattresses, sheets and dragons and phoenixes on the bed, and sprinkling all kinds of happy fruits, such as red dates, longan, dried litchi and red mung beans. After the bed is installed, no one is allowed to enter the new house and touch the new bed before the new couple enters the house on the wedding night. 7. Take a bath on your head, and both men and women will hold their wedding eve in their respective homes. Choose a good day (the man should be half an hour earlier than the woman, that is, an hour ago) and perform the ceremony. This ceremony must be performed by a "lucky guy" and a "lucky woman" (elders or relatives of both men and women who choose their parents and children to live and have a harmonious marriage). The newlyweds should wear pajamas, and the woman should choose a window that can see the moon, light a dragon and phoenix candle, light a wick, and add three bowls of lotus seeds and red dates soup pills, each with six or nine pills. Both men and women should prepare rulers, mirrors and scissors, that is, the so-called "faucets and scissors". While letting "Fu Lao" and "Fu Po" comb the couple's hair, they said: comb it to the end, comb it to Qi Mei with white hair, comb it to the children and grandchildren, and comb it to four silver bamboo shoots. It symbolizes that a couple has entered the "adult" stage and wishes them a long life together. 8. Greeting the bride is the climax of the whole wedding. The groom followed the wedding procession to the place agreed with the bride's family and waited. The groom went straight to the woman's house. He has to go through a series of twists and turns if he wants to get back the beauty smoothly. The bride's best friend had to stop the groom and forbid him to see the bride. The woman can make a condition for the groom to agree, and then she can go in. After opening the door, the bride should be led out by her sister or maid of honor, given to her father, and then given to the groom for a formal ceremony. Couples will worship heaven and earth first, then their ancestors, and then offer tea to their parents. The woman's mother and elders will cry and marry to see her daughter off. In the open air, the eldest sister or maid of honor holds up a red umbrella to protect the bride to the appointed reception point of the man's wedding. While walking, the elder sister and other sisters scatter rice into the air and the top of the umbrella (red mung beans can be added). At the appointed place, the men and women who are seeing me off are once again fighting wits. Finally, before boarding the float, the bride should bow to her relatives and friends who saw her off to show her gratitude. When the bride gets out of the limousine, a blessed elder of the man should help the bride enter the hall. When entering the door, the newcomer must not step on the threshold, but cross it. 9. New houses and new houses are full of tricks, but as long as they are not too out of line, the bride and groom will accept them with an inclusive attitude. 10. On the third day after the marriage of the Three Dynasties, the wife's sister-in-law or a suitable person went to the man's house to take the bride home, and the groom accompanied the bride to bring gifts back to her family. On that day, both the bride and groom must go back to the man's house and are not allowed to spend the night at the woman's house.
