Xinyi Wedding Customs

Wedding customs in some rural areas of Xinyi are also changing quietly: new houses are located in the city and wedding banquets are held in hotels.　The most important thing for young people in rural Xinyi to get married is housing. In the 1980s, there were tiled houses, in the 1990s, there were bungalows and small two-story buildings, but nowadays, in order to live in the city, some rural young people are keen to buy commercial houses in the city. According to a responsible comrade from the Rural Work Office of Xinyi Municipal Committee, with the rapid development of the economy, many rural youths are working and doing business in the city. Therefore, when they talk about marriage, they all want to buy a commercial house in the city or buy a plot of land in the town to build a building. According to the survey, most of the people who buy houses in the newly built neighborhoods in Xinyi City are rural youths who are employed in the urban areas or who work and do business in foreign countries.　　In addition to buying houses, many rural young people also like to hold weddings and wedding banquets in big hotels in towns, changing the old custom of killing pigs and slaughtering goats and setting up banquets in family style. This is not only convenient for the guests, but also reduces the many troubles of the wedding banquet organizing family.　　In addition, Xinyi rural brides used to be proud of their quilts, but nowadays quilts are replaced by duck down quilts, flower quilts and woolen blankets. In Ahu Township, some parents of brides also accompany their daughters with home air conditioners, motorcycles, home theaters and computers.　　This new trend reflects the affluent rural youth's new concept of consumption, but also shows the rural youth's desire to improve the quality of life. Marriage Customs On the day of marriage, the woman must arrive at the man's house before 12 noon in Xuzhou, but in several townships in the northwest of Fengxian County and several townships in the southeast of Xinyi, the woman's arrival at the man's house must be after sundown.
