What is the folk custom in rural areas?

1, the custom of praying for a long life.

Give birth to a baby name and hang a long life lock. Some babies in rural areas also have birth names, which mostly indicate longevity, such as "silver lock".

Whenever a child is born at the full moon, grandma will give the child a silver longevity lock, a collar, bracelets and anklets to wear. The longevity lock is engraved with the word longevity on the back and the word "long life" on the front, with a silver necklace. There are also silver bells on bracelets and anklets.

2. Old customs

Kill pigs, laba garlic, laba porridge, steam annual dry food, make tofu, sweep dust, quit cooking stoves, write Spring Festival couplets, post money, cut window grilles, post New Year pictures, post Spring Festival couplets, erect lanterns, erect poles, drive away the poor and so on.

3. Joy of Autumn Harvest in Double Ninth Festival

In some mountainous villages, because of the complicated geographical location and situation, the flat land in the village is few, so every household will hang crops in front of or behind their own houses or windows or balconies to dry for a long time, which has become a traditional custom in rural areas.

4. Rural "Ruishi"

Every New Year, some rural "Swiss lions" are on the road one after another, and the gongs and drums are loud and lively.

The lion's head at the top of the front looks like a king, which means the king's demeanor; Protruding forehead, very smart, and so on. There are dragon and phoenix paintings on the back, which means dragon and phoenix are auspicious; There are eight immortals treasures and eight immortals poems in the middle, which embodies the idea that every profession of Hakka children can be the top scholar.

5. Eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival. Villagers eat moon cakes on this day. In the past, villagers put on a big moon cake with wool and hung it on the children's chests to enjoy. These customs are rare now.

6. The time for building houses in the north is mainly in spring.

First, in the spring in the north, the climate is relatively dry and the rain is scarce. At this time, it is most suitable to build a house with walls, such as mud cement. When it dries and condenses, it is not worried that half of the house will be damaged by rain. Because there is little rain, there is a saying that "spring rain is as expensive as oil", and there is also a saying that there are nine droughts in ten years.

Second, the reason for the off-season is mainly because people have time in the off-season to facilitate supervision. Workers also have time to concentrate on building houses, or they can ask relatives and friends for help. Relatives are all working for nothing, that is, eating or saving a lot of money.

7. Wedding bride price

It is more and more difficult to marry a wife in rural areas, mainly because the cost of marrying a wife is too high, and many young farmers are unable to pay a huge bride price. So there is another strange thing in the countryside, that is, the amount of bride price determines whether you can get married.

8. Rural Monument

It is really grand to erect a monument in the countryside now. After several days and nights of singing, relatives and friends came back to join in the fun. The time to set up a monument is always on my father's anniversary, and my mother will follow.

Of course, when the monument was erected, both parents died. No matter which parent died behind his back, it will take at least three years to erect the monument. Three years is a mourning period, and the ancestral graves cannot be broken. In these three years, even Tomb-Sweeping Day can't visit the grave.

The front of the tombstone is engraved with the names of the people in the earth tomb, the names of the people who built the monument and the date when the monument was built. This method of erecting a monument is also a ceremony for our rural children and grandchildren to erect a monument to the elderly.

9. "Lantern Festival" custom

This custom organized dragon dance teams in rural areas and villages all over the country, and sent congratulations and joy door to door in uniforms, which restored the long-lost scene of "making the Spring Festival" in rural areas.

10, poached egg customization

In some rural areas, there is a traditional custom of entertaining guests. Before dinner, invite guests to drink a bowl of poached egg tea, that is, boiled poached eggs, boiled poached eggs and sugar. This kind of tea can clear away heat and fire.

The origin of folklore:

Folklore is one of the most suitable cultures for people to inherit their body and mind-there are folk customs of producing labor during labor, folk customs of daily life, folk customs of traditional festivals and folk customs of social organizations;

Every stage of life growth also needs folk customs to regulate. Married people need a wedding ceremony or ceremony to gain social recognition. There are also folk customs in people's spiritual consciousness, and so are many taboos in life: from New Year's Eve to the second day of junior high school, you are not allowed to sweep the floor at home. If you clean it up, it will ruin the fortune of the coming year.
