American customs and culture in Fujian are very strong in all aspects, and there must be many customs in the face of such an important event as marriage. Now, let's see how some customs in Fujian are different from those in other places, and what kind of process there is.

First, stop the sedan chair.

The groom went to the woman's room to meet her. Fuqing invites new people. On the way back, people can block the way with chairs. The bride and groom must not be angry. In the old society, the bride sat in a sedan chair, accompanied by a band, and gave the groom melon seeds, candy and so on. For those who stop the sedan chair. Now the sedan chair is not used, and the band is also used as a tape recorder. People in the way either let the bride and groom sing or let them distribute cigarettes and candy to people in the way. No matter in the past or now, you can only pass if you encounter roadblocks. The more someone gets in the way, the more it shows that the talent of the bride S is well known and the groom will be more glorious.

Second, avoid shocks.

When the groom welcomed his mother to his home, the man and his family set off firecrackers to welcome him. At this time, the relatives or neighbors of the elderly woman and the bride's husband will help the bride enter the door, and other women in the family will temporarily avoid it until the bride enters the hall. This custom is called collision avoidance.

Third, close the new room.

As a bride. No, I didn't find that man. The house, the groom's family chose a smart and considerate boy to wait at the door. When the wedding procession arrives, the boy will come forward to collect the new toilet in the dowry. This toilet is called toilet. Boys should also enter the new house, close the door with the boys and girls inside in advance, and let the groom beg for cigarettes and sugar before opening the door. At this time, the bride and groom visited their ancestors, parents and aunts. After the wedding, the bride and groom lead the introduction of the new house and have to knock at the door. In the past, the bride would sing "Clap the Door Song". Now, the bride and groom bargain with the people who close the door. The longer the bargaining time, the more patient the bride and groom are, which means the longer the couple love each other. Finally, the groom agreed to the request of the children who closed the door, and the children opened the door to let them in. There are many gifts on the bride as a reward for the boy who cleaned the toilet.

Fourth, the bedroom

Yes, both families prepared a sumptuous banquet for their guests. Among the guests, the groom's uncle is the most distinguished, and the hospitality should be respected the most. The chief should sit at the banquet. Most places were busy that night. Most noisy rooms are attended by relatives and friends. The content of the dormitory is to create some embarrassing topics for the bride and groom and tease a couple.

Five, go back to the door

On the third day after the old bride got married, the bride's family sent someone to invite the newlyweds back to her family. Fuqing has this custom all over the country. I used to call mom, but now I also call you please go first. In the late 1950s, it was not the third day after marriage, but the second day. Please go back to your home. On this day, the woman sent her family to invite the bride and groom back to their parents' home, and the woman gave a banquet to entertain her son-in-law. Daughter. Prepare egg noodles in advance before the banquet, and let the son-in-law cut the cooked eggs with a spoon before the banquet.
