What is the marriage custom in Xiangfan? What are the customs of the Spring Festival in Xiangyang

First of all, it should be two people who are friends and feel that they are almost suitable for each other, and then they can meet their parents. But there are rules for meeting parents. It doesn't matter which parent the seer is.

Let's say meet the woman's parents. The man should mention 4 kinds of gifts, which are generally sugar, meat, wine, and cigarettes. This is the etiquette of the old generation.

Now that the living conditions are better, it is generally enough to buy some high-end cigarettes and gifts. The rest is up to the woman's parents to approve of you. Let's talk about the man's parents.

The woman seems to be going to buy something, too. This depends. The woman is relatively simple and does not have so many courtesies.

After eating, if you want to leave, the man's parents generally have to give gift money. The amount of this greeting gift generally varies depending on the individual's financial situation. Some parents give 1000, some parents give jewelry, and some parents give 500

But be sure to give. The first time my sister went to her mother-in-law's house, she gave 500 plus a gold ring. Some men don't know these etiquette.

It may be given at the wedding banquet or on the day of the engagement. This woman should not be too demanding. If you don't give it, there may be two reasons, the first is that you don't know about this custom of Xiangfan, and you don't have so much care for one son in the family.

The second is that the woman is not satisfied. Or is it afraid that if you give it, you won't come back, etc. In some places, the man is also required to pay a bride price, and this bride price may be given to the woman in the future.

This has to be talked about by the man's parents, if they give, how much to give. How to give the law and so on. Secondly, during the period of talking about friends, the relationship between the two parties is stable, and it is time to change the talk of marriage.

If the banquet is held separately by the man and the woman (not in the same city), the parents of the man and the woman will pay their own money. If you have a banquet together, for example, if the woman has 4 tables, she will only pay for 4 tables, and the gift money will be separated. Whether or not this gift money is given to the newcomer depends on the respective parents.

Nowadays, many women are asking the man to buy a house and live on his own after marriage, in fact, this depends on the individual's financial ability, if the parents have a house, it is not so important to buy a house or not. After getting married, you can live with your parents without spending your own money.

The day before the wedding, a banquet was held to entertain guests, and the man called it "warm lang wine" and the woman called "combing wine". On the day of the wedding, the groom is dressed in full clothes, dressed in red and hung colors, sedan chair or horseback, and leads a sedan chair to greet his relatives. Along the way, firecrackers, gongs and drums were constantly sounding.

To the woman's house, worship the woman's ancestors. The bride wears a phoenix crown, a head cover, a red jacket and a skirt, and goes on a sedan chair after bidding farewell to her ancestors, and is sent by a brother or nephew male, which is called "sending relatives".

Then, the groom's sedan chair (horse) leads, the bride's sedan chair and dowry follow, and gongs, drums and firecrackers welcome to the man's house. After getting off the sedan chair, the bride is supported by the bride to get off the sedan chair and ascend to the hall, and the groom worships heaven and earth, worships the high hall, and enters the cave room to drink a glass of wine. On the day, guests, cousins and uncles can all participate, which is said to be "no size for three days".

During the feast, the guests are called "drinking happy wine".

Xiangfan's marriage customs mainly include the following steps:

1.Betrothal: The man's parents invite the red master (matchmaker) to the woman's house to propose.

If the woman's parents agree, the red master will deliver the woman's "eight-character Geng sticker" (that is, the Cambodian sticker indicating the woman's birth year, month, day, and time) to the man. It is commonly known as "taking eight characters", also known as "Chuan Geng". The man's parents choose an auspicious day and ask a trusted fortune teller to calculate the eight characters of the male and female, which is called "combined eight characters".

If the two of them offend each other in their lives, the marriage will be abandoned; If they are compatible, they can be engaged. The betrothal is the responsibility of the parents, and young men and women are not allowed to intervene.

2.Elective: After the "combination of eight characters", if no unfavorable factors are found, you can choose a date.

The man asked the red master to negotiate the date of the wedding to the woman. Generally, please invite the red master twice, if the woman has no objection, the man will give a dowry and determine the date of marriage, commonly known as "filling Geng". One month or half a month before the marriage, the man should give the woman a considerable amount of money and goods as a dowry to show his gratitude to the woman.

3.Wedding: It is one of the most important ceremonies in a wedding.

The day before the wedding, the man will send a drum band to the woman's house to blow and play, which is called "urging makeup". The woman sets up a feast and invites the man's parents, relatives and friends to give him a bridal gift. The next day, the man's home was decorated with lights, drums and music, and the sedan chair went to the woman's house to greet the woman in a costumed wedding procession.

On the way back to the man's home, the drum band played all the way, which was called "ringing group".
