What is Guangfu culture and what are its contents?

Guangfu culture, that is, the culture of Guangfu people of Han nationality. This is an important part of the popularity of China and South Korea. Those: Cantonese, Cantonese opera, and Cantonese music are often called Cantonese culture. So what does Guangfu culture contain? I found some information, let's look down at the city culture together!

A festive marriage

In terms of festival customs, it not only inherits the traditional culture of the Central Plains, but also has local characteristics. In Guangzhou, there is a flower market on New Year's Eve. It's been around since Nanhan. By the middle of the19th century, the flower market was scheduled to be held a few days before New Year's Eve. Flowers and trees poured into the city, and the citizens held hands to "walk the flower street", which was very lively. Up to now, it has become more and more popular, and many cities in the Pearl River Delta have this custom.

Panyu's colorful entertainment activities include lettuce party (homophonic wealth), Boluo's birthday, Zheng Xian's birthday, Jinhua's birthday, He Xiangu's birthday, Pangu's birthday, Fish's birthday, Dragon's birthday and so on. Most of them are related to the theme of offering sacrifices to local immortals, making a fortune and sailing safely.

It reflects the deep structure of Guangdong customs and culture. In terms of marriage customs, the old society accepted the feudal marriage system of the Han nationality. In Guangzhou and the urban and rural areas of the Pearl River Delta, there are also customs of staying at the in-laws and women dressing themselves. The former retains the legacy of the ancient Yue nationality. After a woman gets married, except for weddings, celebrations, condolences and other weddings and funerals, she usually doesn't go back to her mother's house and lives in her husband's house for a long time. The latter is that some women, in order to make a living independently and get rid of the shackles of feudal marriage, announced that they would sort themselves out and never get married. This kind of marriage custom is not only the variation of ancient marriage custom, but also the color of personality liberation. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC).
