What are the wedding customs in Hubei?

Common areas: Enshi, Xianfeng, Yichang, Xiaogan and Huangshi.

In rural Hubei, there is a custom of crying to married women. When a girl gets married, her mother and her family will cry, mainly her mother. A mother cried about her daughter's sufferings and taught her how to be a good daughter-in-law when she went to her husband's house. When a married woman cries, she usually expresses her gratitude to her parents for raising her. Handed down from ancient times, there are "Mother Advises Daughter" and "Pregnant in October". In some places, crying weddings should start three days in advance.
