One of the strange traditional marriage customs is that Li Zhan can only get married two days a year.

In congjiang county, Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture, there is a Dong natural village named Li Zhan. It is hidden in the valley north of Sizhai Estuary on the Liu Du River at an altitude of 380 meters, only 20 kilometers away from congjiang county City, with a land area of about 15.97 square kilometers.

As a tribe of the Dong people, Li Zhan people, like other Dong villages, realize their marriage by singing duet, confinement and lusheng. However, the difference is that Li Zhanren's marriage only takes place in the village. In other words, the husband does not marry outside, and the woman does not marry outside. Is that the same husband can't get married. Even if you get married, you must have more than three generations. It is absolutely forbidden to get married through menstruation or your cousin. ("Dou", Dong language, refers to the intermarriage group organized according to blood relationship)

Not only that, Li Zhanren also advocates late marriage and late childbirth. Men are generally 26 years old and 20 years old; The oldest female is 27 years old and the youngest is 19 years old. In other places or ethnic groups, it is generally believed that getting married too late is because you can't find a woman and miss the age of marriage, which is considered to be a matter of lifting your head. On the other hand, Li Zhanren thinks that people who marry late are an honor, so they are the object of worship.

After both men and women get married, the woman is in no hurry to "stay at her husband's house". Usually, only during the busy farming season or when the husband's family needs the help of his daughter-in-law, will the woman stay in the husband's family for a short time. Only when the woman is pregnant or old can she completely settle down in her husband's family. They do this because they think that marriage and childbirth are completely causal, and marriage means having children. At the same time, they also realize that late childbearing is beneficial to women's physical and mental health and children's health.

Only two days a year are allowed to get married. Li Zhanren got married at the same time, that is, they can only get married on February 16 and February 26 of the lunar calendar, and they are not allowed to get married at other times. This can be said to be unique in other regions and ethnic groups. Neither husband nor wife can divorce.
