Who knows the traditional wedding customs in Fuyang?

Fuyang marriage customs in the night before the wedding, the man's family to feast in the family, and then the groom to worship ancestors, parents and elders, worship, to the groom as the head of the bridegroom team will be ringing drums and gongs, to the bride's home to go.　　

When the procession arrives at the woman's house, the woman's family routinely closes the door and asks the groom to set off firecrackers, which is known as "urging the door to firecrackers," and the family and friends of the woman's family ask the groom for "Qimenqian," which is the reward money for opening the door, and then ask the groom to ask the groom again and again, and the groom will then follow them into the house.　　

The woman's family will set up a feast for the groom that night, and she will drink with her friends and relatives. Before the feast, the groom will bow to the guests, but also to the head of the female family, bowing ji countless times, and the groom will stay in the house that night.　　

The next morning (i.e., the wedding day), the groom's entourage in front of the woman's home firecrackers, known as the "urge to make up", the bride make-up is complete, it will be set off with the groom to the men's home.　　

When she leaves the house, the bride will cry loudly to show that she does not want to leave her parents, and her family will also cry to say goodbye. The groom's brothers or closest relatives will see her off in what is known as the "send-off" of the bride's family.　　

When the bride and groom arrive at the door of the man's house, the man's family will ask two women who have both children to exchange the shoes of the groom and the bride, because "shoes" and "kai" have the same sound, so this move is a symbol of "growing old together".　　

The groom into the door of the male family, friends and relatives will read auspicious phrases, hand to the ground peanuts, jujubes and other fruits, called "spreading happy fruit. Afterwards, the wedding ceremony, such as worshiping heaven and earth, handing over worship and drinking wine, is similar to that of other regions.

Blowing the suona to the sky (heard) --- Anhui Fuyang people after the death of the custom

Morning, heard people say that Ma Zhai Shen XX's old mother (more than 80 years old) died, hastily in the neighborhood store to buy a ten knife paper, cycling to. I had to go directly to his house. It's not a good idea to go to his house on the way or to the villagers' house in his village, because it's a taboo that will bring them bad luck and a long period of insecurity. So don't know where his house is, can only ask from afar, I can't hear well, they use hand signals to tell me. I couldn't hear well, but I could hear the sound of suona from 100 meters away. When we arrived at the place, the younger generation wore white cloth on their heads, hemp ropes around their waists, and white shoes on their feet, and kowtowed when they saw them. You must understand that this is kowtowing to me, but in reality it is kowtowing to "those who are already in heaven". A series of cannons rang out in my ears, and then there were people with wooden boards collecting yellow paper. I then paid 40 yuan to the bookkeeper (as we all know, bookkeeping is very important at weddings and celebrations, and with the rise in material goods nowadays, weddings and celebrations are no exception). Someone for me to give a white cloth, then it is to go to the house parked in the middle of the hall in front of the casket with the ashes of the deceased, do bow, squat, kowtow, this time on both sides of the filial piety will be back to the salute, get up to pacify the end of the matter (if it is very close to the person, of course, not far away from the "bawling, as for whether it is from the heart, it is hard to say). Sit down for a while, on the side of the suona playing interest, there are five people, a man and four women, male force blowing suona, a woman playing the electronic piano, there are speakers, the natural sound is very large, the tune is also good to hear. They inquired about what he was playing. It was all very vague, and one person said it was probably "Meng Jiangnu Weeping at the Great Wall". I know about the allusion to Meng Jiangnu, went to the blowing (we call them here for the blowing class, they are not only for people to blow for joyous occasions, funerals also blowing, but the tune is different) to ask. The answer did not go well, but at my insistence they answered my question. The song they were playing at that time was indeed "Meng Jiangnu Weeps Down the Great Wall", which expresses a kind of sadness. I asked if it wouldn't be the only one, would it? I got an answer, which I now transcribe: "Troublesome Character Tunes," "Old Cha (I didn't have time to look it up)," "Big Open Door," "Small Open Door," and so on. Taking the opportunity of their stopping for a while to exhaust themselves, I learned that the blowing class has the following kinds of instruments: sheng flute, electronic piano, gongs and drums, clip thallium? The following instruments are used in the blowing class: sheng flute, electronic keyboard, gongs and drums, clip thalers, suona (divided into three kinds: large, medium and small), flute, gongs (high, medium and low), drums, no? The music is much more lively now than when I was a child. It was more lively than when I was a child, and the sound microphone was very complete. I asked him how not to play in the tape recorder more convenient? He replied no, the meaning is not the same, I thought about it, I blame myself also confused. Subsequently, they played the next tune, I let them blow another, suddenly deafening again suona, but listening to the tune is still very beautiful. Because of the time is not early I simply ate the meal they entertained, then went back, then the whole process (program) is this: First, the funeral; Second, buy related funeral items; Third, firecrackers, collect paper money, salute, bookkeeping; Fourth, every meal before the mourning sons and daughters of filial piety to send the soup before dinner; Fifth, please carry the coffin; Sixth, look at the feng shui, put the coffin, distribution of paper money, burned papier-mache oxen and horses; Seventh, smacking the bowl; Eighth, the burial. Burial. This is all I know.
