What are the customs of marriage in Maoming, Guangdong?

Customs in some rural areas of Maoming:

The man chooses an auspicious day, writes a wedding date on red paper and sends it to the woman's house, and the woman agrees to return the gift. So parents tell women how to get married. From then on, within a month, the girl lived in seclusion, listened to her aunt and sister-in-law at home during the day and sewed her own dowry. Ten days or a few nights before the girl gets married, she "cries and marries" with her good sisters behind the bedroom bed. The content of crying marriage is to thank parents for their kindness in raising their children, praise uncles and aunts for their teaching, and instruct brothers and sisters to be diligent and self-respecting and determined to be useful people.

Two days before the girl's wedding, her in-laws put face-lifting powder on her face and neck, then unscrewed the hair on her face and neck with linear force, shaved her eyebrows with a razor, and finally let the girl look at herself in the mirror, only when she is satisfied can she be considered intact.

On the wedding day, the sedan chair came to the door, and the girl's sister-in-law moved a stool to stop the door, so that the matchmaker could drink two glasses of wine on the stool and give the "gift money" before moving the stool to let the matchmaker enter the house. Moving a stool to block the door like this shows that I don't want my sister to leave my hometown. After the parents received the wedding gift from the matchmaker, they held the girl's wedding.

Candles and incense are lit in the hall for ancestor worship, and there is a big chair in the hall. In the boudoir, the married girl put on red clothes, skirts, embroidered shoes and socks, put on long hair, covered her face with a towel, and was carried out of the hall by a woman who had a good life (happy life) and sat in a chair. The woman tied the girl's hair into a bun. At this time, the girl "cried goodbye" to her ancestors and relatives, and the other contents of crying were roughly similar to crying for marriage. Comb your hair in a bun, and insert silver hairpin and hairpin ornaments to show that you are married. The "daughter" of a rich family is married, wearing a golden hairpin in her hair.
