Love custom:

Love custom refers to the love behavior of men and women before marriage, which is an important process of life and an important content of marriage custom culture. The love customs of all nationalities in the world are very different or similar, which can be described as colorful. As far as the same nation is concerned, it is different from generation to generation. On a large scale, love customs in various places can be roughly divided into three ways: open, conservative and fixed between open and conservative. Open love, also known as "free love", refers to a way of love in which young men and women can communicate freely, express their love freely and choose their lovers independently. This custom of free love has a long history, but it is difficult to see the exact record in ancient China. Marriage Customs of Yi Nationality in Liangshan, Sichuan;

Before the democratic reform, Liangshan Yi people had a strict marriage system. Can't marry other people; No intermarriage between different grades; Can't get married in the same branch; Cousins can't get married, but aunts, uncles and cousins have the priority to get married. If you violate it, you will be reviled for life, and if you lose face, you will be executed. With the development and progress of society, some restrictions have been relaxed, but most of them have been inherited. Generally speaking, Yi men and women get married earlier, which is usually "parents' orders and matchmakers' words". Of course, both sides should like each other. Nowadays, most people are free to fall in love, but they can only get married with their parents' consent. If both parties are interested, and the door is suitable and meets the requirements, the father will entrust the matchmaker to make up. After the parents reached an agreement, they killed a pig and took its bile and spleen to predict good or bad luck. If the pig's gallbladder is yellow and the spleen is straight and fat, it is considered auspicious and detailed, and the two can get married; Otherwise, it will not work. Some people still have to see whether the zodiac signs of both sides match. After the marriage is settled, any one of them will ask Bimo to make a lot of money. If there is no money, they will send a matchmaker to discuss the bride price back and forth between the two families. After discussion, the man chose an auspicious day, and nine people ("nine" is homophonic with "Jian" in Yi language, indicating that they hope their marriage will last forever) went to work and drank the wedding wine. Before the man's guests arrived, the woman's girls were ready. They filled containers, large and small, with clear water and hid them on the road where guests must pass. As soon as the guests arrived, everyone immediately swarmed and threw water at them to surprise them. The groom-to-be is the key target of being splashed, and often even his underwear is wet. But I still have to disagree and keep laughing. Some guests are very cunning. They turn their backs on the guests, pour water, or simply pour it on the girl. At this point, the guests fled in confusion, followed by girls, screaming and cheering, very lively. While splashing water, the girls will suddenly give the guests a big face with their hands covered with pot ashes, which will make them laugh and make their backs bend with laughter. Everyone had enough fun and laughter, so they sat around the fireplace and started drinking and chatting. Mainly through the matchmaker, describe how the bride-to-be is virtuous, hardworking and kind; The groom-to-be is handsome, smart and capable, and can shoulder the responsibility of being a husband, and so on. After all the greetings, the young man will give the bride's parents the dowry, and the mantissa of the dowry must be nine. The woman took the money with a tall wooden tray and gave back a certain amount of money for the guests to share equally. When engaged, both parties need to slaughter more than three animals each, and the woman has one more animal than the man, otherwise it is impolite. The heads, hooves and skins of livestock were given to the matchmaker as a token of gratitude. After drinking the engagement party wine, it means formal engagement. Yi people have a proverb that you can play anything but marriage. Once engaged, neither party can go back on its word for no reason. Otherwise, disputes will arise, and the defaulting party must give it to the other party in double indemnity to settle. Sometimes things can't be solved, which leads to two families turning against each other. Before liberation, the two families may also fight over this, causing casualties. Therefore, marriage is generally not easily destroyed, and the pre-marital etiquette procedure of Yi people is quite complicated, which reflects the people's attention to marriage. However, it is interesting and lively. The lively engagement ceremony kicked off the marriage, and then the husband-in-law carefully chose an auspicious day and held a grand wedding ceremony.

The custom of giving birth to godson:

In the old society, after the baby was born, there were customs to celebrate, such as good news, three washes, family reception (Gā Gā, in-laws are grandma), leaving the nest, grasping the week and so on. Meeting family members is one of the important activities. When the baby is born, or on the 3rd or 10, a "three-phase" or "ten-dynasty" wine will be held to invite every family home. Other relatives and friends also brought gifts to the party. Every family has the most abundant "porridge rice" gifts, including rocking nest, cangue chair, coat and hat, shoes and socks, eggs, sugar and rice (porridge rice). At the banquet, everyone sits down first, and red eggs (also called happy eggs) are essential. At the age of one, a "Grab Week" ceremony will be held, and stationery, money and utensils will be put on it for children to catch, so as to predict their future career, identity and luck with what they catch first. Family, relatives and friends will send clothes, food and gold and silver ornaments. After liberation, these customs continued.

Fertility custom of Baima people in Sichuan;

Baima people have no special custom of celebrating the birth of children, but the first child in the village still needs to give gifts. Usually send eggs, food, wine and children's clothes. There is no full-time delivery, no delivery tools, only ordinary scissors and cotton thread, and there is no habit of disinfection. If you are in labor, please ask Bai Mo to recite the scriptures and pray for God's blessing. The husband can't be present when the baby is born. The husband can't go home until the baby is born. Before going home, you have to wait for your family to shovel a shovel of charcoal ash outside the threshold before you can enter the house, in case you bring the hungry ghost back. Children are usually born by the fire, not in bed. Husband can't wash mother's dirty things and children's diapers, and can't eat mother's diet, otherwise it's unlucky.

Birthday naming habits:

"Buy the students a drink and worship", which means that it is the initiative of children and grandchildren to celebrate their birthdays, and there is no need to send invitations. Relatives usually give "four colors" birthday gifts. Son-in-law and nephew should give "eight colors" or "twelve colors". The so-called color refers to a fruit or a dish. There must be birthday candles, peaches and longevity noodles in the birthday present. The red birthday candle is about a foot long and weighs about one kilogram. The wax surface is printed with golden birthday characters or pine crane pictures, which are lit up during the celebration. Shoutao, also known as Shoubao, is the main birthday gift, with 65,438+004 peaches, meaning "show your head". Longevity noodles, noodles eaten at birthday party, are eaten on birthday, which means "long" to celebrate longevity. On the day before the birthday, a birthday hall should be set up in the birthday celebration room, and the word "Shou", birthday axis, birthday star and birthday couplet should be hung high. The birthday girl is the god in charge of longevity and is painted as an old man.

There is no way to avoid death, the vast universe, the vast world, where people are born, grow up and die. For thousands of years, people have formed funeral etiquette, which is to satisfy both the dead and the living. In the whole funeral process, it is a dialogue between the living and the dead, and there is an intractable knot between them-remembering their ancestors and cherishing their loved ones. This knot is manifested in the physical connection between the living and the dead, and also in the spiritual connection between them. This reveals the deep connotation of China's view of life and death.
