What are the customs in Daejeon?

Datian people call married women of childbearing age "happy" and "sick". Later, my mother-in-law brewed rice wine and hatched chickens, ready to make a "moon" nutritional supplement for her daughter-in-law. Near the expected date of delivery, you should also make pearl powder to eat when preparing the "three denier". Note: "Pearl powder" is a dialect of Daejeon Houlu and Youxi Xinyang, and it is a snack. Grinding rice, draining water, squeezing it through a rice sieve with external force to make rice sieve-sized granules, putting it into an iron pot, repeatedly turning it, "frying" it with both hands to make the granules uniform and round, and drying and setting. 10 Once pregnant, pregnant women will give birth. After giving birth to the baby, she must first cook eggs and wine for the pregnant woman, and then kill the chicken (male, hen; Give birth to a girl, kill the cock) stew and eat, which is called "falling chicken" and Guangping area is called "sleeping chicken", indicating the month when the baby is born "landing" and the maternal "going to bed" officially begins. Maternal women have no milk at first, and they are usually breastfed by nearby lactating women on the second day after the baby is born.

surname

On the third day after the baby was born, the locals called it "Sandan". The folks who usually come and go (usually send their wives) bring a chicken and ten eggs to eat "three loads of wine" to congratulate. The victim slaughtered and cooked the chicken, and divided the whole chicken into two halves (the chicken breast was taken out first). Half of them were dismembered and put into a bowl, together with chicken breast and red eggs, for female guests to eat, and the remaining half were sent back to take home. Here, Sandan wine is also called chicken wine. The victim "earned" chicken wings after a busy day, so it is a pleasure for the villagers to eat three denier. Nowadays, villagers eat chicken wine instead of taking chicken, instead of giving 50 yuan or 100 yuan as a gift, and they don't return the gift when they serve it; The main family purchases feed chickens in a unified way, each of which can supply two female customers. According to custom, in addition to chicken wine, Sandan has to eat "pearl powder" paste for lunch. Nowadays, besides chicken wine, pearl powder, rice paste and rice cakes, tourists are no longer limited to men and women.

Regardless of boys and girls, the first bath is called "washing three denier" according to the custom of three denier. Add fresh water to Acorus calamus, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, tea, salt (a little) and white stone seeds (meaning children's roots are like Shi Jian) and cook for VI until the water temperature is moderate. Ask a good woman who is alive, full of children and grandchildren, healthy and happy, sitting at the door of the kitchen stove with her child in her arms and bathing her child in front of the kitchen god. Then roll the cooked chicken and duck eggs on the baby, and say a good word to wish the baby a bright future and respect-"egg head, duck egg noodles, three whiskers, square face (meaning square face), Adi healthy, and the position of the master of the hall is respected." The baby is dressed and put back on the bed, and a pair of clean cloth shoes worn by his father (in some places, the door has to be closed three times) to strengthen the child's courage.

Announce good news

Three days after the baby is born, the son-in-law should choose an auspicious day to report good news to the Yue family, commonly known as "delivering wine" and "telling wine". Qianping, Meishan, Wenjiang and Tao Qi sent a cooked rooster (including chicken blood, chicken gizzards and chicken intestines), a pot of cooked rice noodles, a pair of red eggs and an altar of red wine to my father-in-law's house to show their filial piety and gratitude. When going to Beijing, Taihua and Jianshe will also give their father-in-law's younger brother a wine gift. The jars used to hold red wine were also very particular: the jar head should have a protruding mouth (for pouring wine), and the jar body should have an ear, which can be tied with a red head rope, so that it can be picked and carried easily. Now, instead, it is a kettle with a mouth. The wine jar was covered tightly with a new towel to prevent flying dust from entering, and a red note was stuck on the towel to celebrate.

After the mother-in-law accepts the cooked cock, she first unloads the chicken breast, horizontally divides the chicken body into three parts, accepts the middle part, and entertains the son-in-law with chicken and chicken breast (rice flour and eggs are made separately), but the son-in-law can't eat chicken breast because it is filial to the father-in-law; The remaining two parts of the chicken are spliced together and fixed with bamboo sticks, and returned according to the custom; Accept red wine in order, but put the cooked snail, dried loach and a few white stones in the jar as gifts. White stone wishes his grandson a lifetime like Shi Jian; The Yue family also wants to catch a live chicken in return (the man gives birth to a hen and the woman gives birth to a rooster), and the son-in-law must carry it home with his bare hands to make him realize that it is not easy to be a father.

When the son-in-law "sends wine" home, the father-in-law will give back a batch of live chickens (0/4 and 5 in Qianping, Meishan, Wenjiang/KLOC-5, 20 and 30 in Guangping and Jianshe); One or two jars of old wine; Cooked glutinous rice balls are mixed with peas (commonly known as "bean rice", homophonic "multi-rice", which means adding rice), filled with earth eggs and packed in bamboo baskets; On the reverse side of the drawer cover are baby clothes, swaddling clothes, blouses and other baby products for grandchildren, and a blue or black cloth bag is covered outside, which is selected by the son-in-law. My father-in-law was radiant and swaggered to visit his daughter and grandson.

Eat chicken wine

When the grandson is born and the son-in-law sends wine, the father-in-law can give gifts to his daughter and grandson on the same day or another auspicious day. On the day my father-in-law visits, my son-in-law will kill a rooster to entertain and thank him. My father-in-law's brother usually comes to eat chicken wine the next day to avoid the embarrassment of my father-in-law bringing more chickens to treat.

In the areas of Qianping, Meishan, Wenjiang and Tao Qi, maternal uncles and sisters all sent representatives to congratulate her (grandma, uncles and aunts generally don't have menstruation), and it is still customary to call it "eating chicken wine". Father-in-law and his brother will prepare a banquet respectively. It is the custom in the areas of Beijing, Taihua and Jianshe that grandmothers, parents, sisters, uncles and aunts, menstruation and uncles come to eat chicken wine on the same day and arrange them at the same table. According to the custom, all the relatives of the bride's family take roosters, rice noodles and eggs, and baby clothes as gifts (now most of them are changed to gifts of 200 yuan).

After three rounds of drinking during the dinner, the parturient is a woman who has been married for many years and has no children. Everyone has a "chicken head wine" (chicken breast, chicken legs, chicken slices and red eggs). I wish her happiness and an early birth.

thank

I like to add a man to my family, and my son-in-law is a new father. First of all, I want to thank my parents-in-law for their kindness to my wife. On the day or a few days after the baby boy is born, the son-in-law will hold a family banquet to treat his mother-in-law, accompanied by his uncles and cousins. If a baby boy is born, the mother-in-law will shirk her responsibility by doing a lot of farm work at home, but she will give up her kindness. On the other hand, if a daughter is born, her mother-in-law will generally say that she will refuse until she has a grandson in the future, and the victim will follow suit. Datian people seriously prefer boys to girls. Daughter is not a child, granddaughter is not a grandson. What makes you happy about a girl movie? Courtesy communication is also simplified a lot.

The daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby boy, and the son-in-law gave a banquet to entertain his uncles, brothers, uncles, cousins and other close relatives-"father-in-law" (son-in-law's father-in-law, close relatives' in-laws). Usually, relatives give a banquet first, which is not large in scale, with a maximum of three or five tables. It is nothing more than a gathering of relatives and friends with good relations; Finally, the grand finale was the son-in-law banquet, which was very large. When close relatives and friends get together, it can reach more than ten tables. Villagers have to give gifts when they go to banquets (it used to be rice noodles and eggs, but now it is twenty or thirty yuan in cash). The total number of banquets is three or five (now the etiquette is simplified, and it is usually a few hundred yuan gift from the closest relative to the in-laws instead).

On the day when the son-in-law gave a banquet to his grandfather, several cabinets in the hall were surrounded by "table curtains" embroidered with the pattern of Fu Lu Shou Xing. Grandfather's seat was covered with a blanket to show solemnity, and there was a box at the head of the hall, which contained four meat and four vegetarian offerings and lit candles to burn incense. A respected and familiar "master Shi" (equivalent to the patriarch) who arranges a banquet to invite guests to sit down will inevitably give them some humility (of course, if the seats are not properly held, occasionally the host and guest will leave the table to go home), and then fire a gun to start the banquet after the arrangement is made properly.

Chicken is still the first of the four major meat dishes in the hall. Some towns are full of white chickens, and some have heads with beaks. At the beginning of the banquet, the beak of the chicken faces the person at the end of the hall to show respect for the father-in-law. According to the custom, after drinking three rounds, my father-in-law will leave his seat and turn the box of offerings at the head of the hall into a chicken beak facing the head of the hall, which means to worship the land god, and we ordinary people dare not "cross".

Grandma, parents, sisters, uncles, aunts, menstruation, uncles, aunts and other relatives eat chicken wine, but also on this day to set up another link to complete.

Do "On the Moon"

"confinement" begins with the delivery of the mother and lasts until the full moon. During the period, the lying-in woman has nothing to do but stay outside in case of "catching cold (tetanus)"; A few days before delivery, women should not "go into the water" to wash diapers to prevent gout (vasculitis) in the elderly; Don't wash your hair before the full moon, for fear of the wind.

Pregnant women eat pickled rice in the dormitory, don't go to the public table (it is said that pregnant women will be greedy after staring at the table), and don't eat green vegetables (eating green vegetables can easily lead to diarrhea for the baby). Chickens that nourish the maternal body in the next month are also stewed and heated. It was sent home by the mother-in-law or mother in the month and put on the table. First light the oil lamp to worship the mother-in-law, and then put it in a porcelain bowl and mix it with wine. Maternity is nothing more than feeding the baby, helping to change diapers at most, and then eating chicken and drinking red wine (made of glutinous rice) to stay in bed, eating well, recovering quickly, and having a much better appetite, which makes the baby happy.

During the "moon-making" period, if a neighbor's relatives visit, the mother will often give him a piece of chicken breast and chicken slices to eat, but the neighbor's relatives will give the baby a gift according to the custom, and now it is only 30 to 50 yuan in the market.

Shaving head

Two or three days before the baby's full moon, you should choose an auspicious day to ask the barber to shave the baby's fetal head to remove fetal poison, and according to the custom, you should give the barber a red envelope. Babies should avoid taboo days, broken moon days, the first, fifteenth and fourth days when shaving their heads. Peng Zubai said, "If you don't shave your head, you will get sores." It makes people deeply jealous. The parturient wrapped the cut hair and put it on the door frame of the bedroom, then closed the door three times; Then let one of the closest children (preferably the baby's sister-in-law or brother-in-law) "bang … bang ……" turn the grain feeding equipment commonly known as "wind drum" on his back; Finally, the children carry their babies with bamboo poles (made of bamboo with bamboo tails) to drive the ducks, dance and walk, "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

The etiquette of giving birth to children in Daejeon reflects the good feelings of Daejeon people who appreciate their parents-in-law drinking water. Here, not only are Tiansui people happy to congratulate themselves, but they also wish others happiness and early birth. Although the forms of etiquette and customs are constantly evolving, the connotations of blessings and wishes remain unchanged for a long time.
