What are the customs of Yi family?

The house boat, located along the Xijiang River in Zhaoqing, is called "a woman's home". It's interesting to marry a young man: if a man has no job, he puts a plate of grass at the stern; If a woman is not employed, she will put a plate of flowers at the stern to create a matchmaker. Three days before marriage, men and women don't meet. On auspicious days, special wine boats are set up, decorated with lanterns and sparkling flags, which are very lively. When it was auspicious, firecrackers exploded, so as soon as he had a good day, he accompanied the groom and drove the flower boat to the bride's red boat. After the bride took it back, she immediately boarded the boat to meet her parents-in-law and worship her ancestors with the groom. In the evening, relatives and friends drive the ark to eat. At the banquet, no matter how small the dish is, the dish "taro braised pork" is absolutely indispensable, and it is particularly large, so the matriarch must brew it herself. The banquet was full of people until late at night. Small families also have the habit of raising children, and those who get married when they grow up are called Zhuan Baozi. Nowadays, most houses have moved to the shore. Although their living habits have been assimilated with the people on the shore, their marriage customs still have some ancient traces.
