What is the custom of getting married in Hefei?

Wedding custom in Hefei: 1. The night before the wedding, the man's family will hold a banquet to entertain all the family members, and then the groom will worship his ancestors, parents and elders. After the ceremony, the wedding team led by the groom will beat gongs and drums and head for the bride's house. 2. The woman should prepare quilts, pillows and other bedding as a dowry, and also ask a respected elder to sew dates, peanuts, longan and lotus seeds in the quilt to indicate the early birth of your son. 3. In the wedding custom of Hefei, the time of returning gifts is not uniform. Some people go back the next day, while others go back three days later. It depends on the parents' arrangement.

When going out, the bride will burst into tears, indicating that she doesn't want to leave her parents, and her family will cry to say goodbye. In crying, the groom's brother or close relative sends her first, which is called "farewell". When the couple arrives at the door of the man's house, the man's house will let two women with two children exchange the shoes of the bride and groom. Because "shoes" and "Xie" are homophonic, this move has the symbol of "growing old together".

Hefei people attach great importance to marriage and regard it as a lifelong event. The marriage of young men and women in Hefei in the old society was bound by feudal ethics, and most of them were arranged or controlled by their parents. Before you get married, you must introduce yourself through the matchmaker or "matchmaker", and pay attention to the fact that the matchmaker is married.

6. The gift that the woman sends back to the man is called "rebirth" (also called "pressing life"). Take out the man's "dowry" and put it in the empty life. The woman returned a part of the "employment gift" sent by the man. If the divorce fee or only a small refund, the woman will leave a red note, and the matchmaker will take it from the woman's parents to the man's parents.
