A friend who works in enterprise management replied: A friend has found a girlfriend in Chongqing and is going to get married. What are the wedding customs in Chongqing?

Marriage customs in all parts of the country are similar, with some differences. My hometown is Chongqing. I hope what I know can help you!

Let's talk about the marriage customs of Tujia people in Chongqing:

Tujia women have the custom of "crying marriage" before marriage. In order to prepare for crying marriage, girls should learn to cry marriage if they are more sensible. Watch and learn to cry, and cry at an early age. When crying for a wedding, I said a word in my mouth, "Send a wedding banquet." When crying for marriage, the daughters of relatives and friends in the same village will come to cry with them. The person who cries with you, the sadder, the better, the more touching, the better. Before marriage, girls will be discriminated against and laughed at if they don't cry.

Marriage Custom in Chongqing-Marriage Taboo

The superstition handed down from ancient times to the present in Chongqing is really strange. However, superstitious people, people who no longer believe in evil, are bound to respect tradition and conform to customs when facing marriage. The following are some old marriage taboos in Chongqing, which I have included for the reference of new people who are about to get married in Chongqing!

1, after going to bed, on the eve of their wedding, find an underage boy to sleep in bed with the groom. Because the traditional thought holds that "if you sleep in an empty bed, your dead husband will die."

On the wedding day, before going to bed at night, everyone should put the new bed aside as far as possible, especially the new bed should never touch the bedside, which will be unlucky.

Don't let people sit on the new bed on the wedding day.

On the wedding day, the bride should not lie in bed at will, otherwise she will be ill in bed.

5, people who marry the zodiac tiger watch the ceremony.

6. When the bride goes out on the wedding day, the aunt and sister-in-law can't send each other.

7. When the bride leaves home on the wedding day, the more she cries, the better, because "no crying, no hair".

8, the bride's clothes should not have pockets, so as not to take away her family's wealth.

9. On the third day after marriage, the newlyweds go home with gifts, that is, they are mothering. But remember that you need to get back to your husband's house before evening, and you can't spend the night outside.

10, within four months after marriage, the bride is not allowed to attend any wedding, funeral or festive ceremony to avoid celebration.

1 1, don't lend the bride's mirror to others.

12, within four months of marriage, the bride is forbidden to spend the night outside unless it is necessary (such as honeymoon trip).

Chongqing Marriage Custom-Matchmaker

Now it has entered 2 1 century. Although young people in Chongqing are very fashionable now, they basically get married by themselves, and parents generally don't ask. More fashionable people, a couple can only meet at a wedding when they know each other, fall in love, get married, register, take wedding photos, hold a wedding, and engage in a wedding. In the past, the words of the matchmaker have long forgotten the fate of their parents, but in most of our Chongqing, the acquaintance of black couples still needs the introduction of an intermediary. As a matter of fact, Dou is a fashionable youth of our post-80s and post-90s. When two people get to know each other, there is still a matchmaker. Although this matchmaker is no longer the old woman with a handkerchief and a big mole on her mouth, at least, the two sides are familiar with each other and someone always introduces her.

One of Chongqing's wedding customs-making trouble in the bridal chamber

China has the custom of getting married since ancient times. In Chongqing, the old custom of having a bridal chamber is gradually declining, except that young people and new people play together for fun now. In ancient times, "making a bridal chamber" represented happiness, so every household had to make a bridal chamber as long as they got married, and the more noisy it was, the hotter it became. There is neither time nor space, and everyone is "making trouble"! In the past, because the couple were unfamiliar before marriage, or even unfamiliar, living in the same space on their wedding night may cause psychological anxiety. Making trouble in the bridal chamber can undoubtedly help newcomers to eliminate barriers and completely pierce the shy "enough" through the laughter of the public. Today, if the landlord expresses his blessing to the couple, in addition, the bridal chamber has also evolved into the best time for young men and women and newlyweds to play. In ancient customs, during the wedding, three days, regardless of size, means that as long as the groom's brother, cousin, nephew, uncle and so on. They can play with the bride and even sleep in the same bed. Of course, they shouldn't be out of line. On the other side of Shanxi, there is a listening bed. On their wedding night, the brothers clamored to sleep with the bride and groom. Well done in the west, there is no such custom in Chongqing, or according to the character developed by Chongqing girl N for many years, no problem!

I once went to Tongliang County, Chongqing to take wedding photos and met a big bridal chamber. Hehe, the custom of making a bridal chamber there continues our ancient wedding custom in Chongqing. Not only was the bride and groom badly beaten, but the parents of the groom were also frolicked by relatives and friends, being carried around, sitting on their shoulders, wiping the bottom of the pot, pretending to be beggars and tying red ropes. Until the bride and groom are disturbed, they will come out with their elders and friends to smoke and give out red envelopes! In Tongliang, Chongqing, whether in the countryside or in a family with status, whether in the courtyard dam or in a magnificent hotel, it will be staged in the new house!

The bridal chamber is for the wedding. I hope that when friends make trouble in the bridal chamber and play the new couple, they should grasp the standards, don't stop there, just for the wedding, and don't make the new couple unhappy!

On the incense table, cigarettes are lingering, red candles have a high fever, and relatives, friends and functional personnel are in their positions.
