The daughters will. Daughters will be very traditional.

"Daughter's Club" is one of the representative regional traditional festivals of Tujia nationality in Enshi, and it is a unique and novel festival culture, which is particularly dazzling because it shows the unique brilliance of China female culture. Generally, the days from the seventh day of the seventh lunar month to 12 are the traditional auspicious days of the "Daughter's Meeting", which was first popular in Enshi Lime Kiln and Dashantou, and has now developed into a national festival in the whole state.

Known as "Oriental Valentine's Day", Tujia "Daughter's Party" retains the legacy of ancient Ba people's original marriage customs, and is a way of love in remote Tujia villages. Contrary to feudal arranged marriage, it is a holiday activity spontaneously formed by Enshi Tujia youth in the process of pursuing free marriage with the main purpose of collective mate selection. Its main feature is to choose a spouse independently through songs. At that time, mainly young girls, but also married women will attend, looking for suitable people or dating old lovers in the form of duets, and complaining freely.

When attending their daughter's party, young women wear holiday clothes and their most beautiful clothes. They are used to wearing long ones inside and short ones outside. One is shorter than the other, and people can see it layer by layer, called "bright passbook" or commonly known as "three drops of water", wearing their best gold and silver jewelry.

On the day of the daughter's party, the girls put mountain products, a local product brought back in a basket, on both sides of the street, while they sat down firmly on the basket, waiting for the right person to buy things. With a basket on his shoulder, the young man accosted the girl like a casual wanderer. The two sides have the same chance, so they go to the jungle outside the street to catch up with the "daughter's party" and exchange heart songs in the form of female questions and male answers, so as to make a lifelong commitment.

According to legend, the Tujia "Daughter Club" originated in the late Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 400 years. During the reign of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (13), the practice of "returning to the native land" was implemented and the "daughters' association" was banned. After the Revolution of 1911, the "Daughter Club" became popular again. After the 1980s, Enshi held a grand daughter's party every year to show its national customs, making it a symbol of Enshi's national culture and an artistic spectacle that dazzled foreigners. Through the festive, prosperous, simple and elegant "Daughter's Club", people can feel the pulse and soul of truth, goodness and beauty of far Cubans and see the Tujia people's national spirit of pursuing happiness and being positive.

In the past two years, the Daughter's Club, as a masterpiece of traditional culture, has become a grand event in Tujia folk festivals and a big stage to show Tujia folk culture. Therefore, Enshi Tujia Daughter Association itself is only a traditional folk festival, not a tourist product. However, the relevant parties used this festival to make tourism a big brand and package it into a tourism product. ...

Daughter's Club is divided into four parts: blind date singing, trial marriage, tug-of-war between relatives and meeting the bride. Tujia young men send songs to the women they like, talk with songs and pour out their love. If a girl likes a man, she will throw a sachet at her prince charming. In addition, Tujia young men compete for their son-in-law by tug-of-war, and let their children eat bowls of meat made by Tujia people and arrive at Zhugan Pass. Both men and women have "side meetings". In addition, the customs such as crying for marriage, hitting the iron threshold, and stopping the car and horse are also very interesting. When the young man saw the girl, he invited the matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's house. If the woman's parents agree, he chooses an auspicious day to visit the man's house accompanied by her brother and sister-in-law. This is called "looking at the gallery". Satisfied with the consent to marriage and engagement, the families of both parties ask people to "match the eight characters" and write the eight characters of men and women on a piece of paper, and each party holds half a piece as the engagement certificate, which is called "changing the Geng paste". After changing the paste, the man prepares the corresponding letter (meat) and tea (wine, noodles, biscuits, etc. ) according to the number of the woman's elders, accompanied by elders or siblings, recognize and salute the woman. From then on, the man will go to the woman's house to worship. After the marriage is confirmed, the bride price is prepared by the man, the dowry is arranged by the woman, and the matchmaker goes to the woman's house to talk about marriage. This is called "seeking happiness". On the first day of marriage, the man sent the bride price to the woman's house as a "gift". That night, the man hosted a banquet for nine unmarried children from relatives and friends, drank wine with the groom and sang "Accompany Ten Brothers". On the night before their wedding, Tujia girls must pull out their hair from their faces, comb their hair into a round head, put on their hairpins, and then hold a banquet with nine unmarried women, which is called "Accompanying Ten Sisters". Accompanied by the "Ten Sisters" are usually the bride's close friends, accompanying the girls who are going to get married to gather in front of the dining table composed of several big tables, improvising songs and dances, expressing the girls' blessings and reluctance to their partners.

When you get married, you sing "Weeping Wedding Song", pouring out the kindness of your parents, the brotherhood of brothers and sisters, and your attachment to your hometown. When crying about getting married, the woman's sisters, brothers and sisters, mother, relatives and friends all cried with her. After the newlyweds pay their respects, the groom carries the bride into the bridal chamber, which is called "kissing back". Three days later, the newlyweds will go back to their parents' home to kowtow to their ancestral tablets and meet their parents. After dinner, the bride and groom will come back three days later to give gifts to the relatives of the man.

It is a unique custom for Tujia girls to cry when they get married. Crying words are long and short, passed down from generation to generation, and improvised, mostly full of poetic rhyme and musical sense. Its writing is ingenious and profound. The content includes attacking the old system, teasing the matchmaker, expressing old feelings, remembering mountains and rivers, praising women and looking forward to the future.
