Why do you want to wipe your elders faces when you get married

According to the local customs of Nanyang, Henan, wipe the face of your parents-in-law. The strange appearance of the parents-in-law added a festive and humorous atmosphere to the wedding.

I haven't heard of wiping the face of the woman's parents, but I have only heard that the custom in some places in Shaanxi is to wipe the face of the man's parents during the wedding, but I think these are too old customs, and they should be changed.

In fact, not only Pingdingshan also has such a custom, but most places in Henan have such customs! There are many people who get married, neighbors, relatives and friends, and it is a festive day, of course, you have to draw your face! To be happy.

This is a lively picture, and there is such a custom in rural Shaanxi.

Make a joke and make a fool of yourself, so that everyone can be happy.

Maybe this practice is more auspicious for the wedding day, so it is said to be done.

This may be beneficial to the child's body and has certain benefits, so it will be done if you use a red egg to rub it on the baby's body, which will represent the removal of bad luck.

I don't know about this, maybe it's festive and frolic, and now I like to smear people red.

This is because such a statement has a great impact on the statement.

Because if you say that the more flowers on your face, it means that you will get better and better in the future.

That's more auspicious, that's why I did it, but I don't know why.

Because it looks festive, and it's traditional.

I think this practice is not scientific enough to be based on, there should be no scientific proof, generally speaking, the old man is trying to be auspicious.

I think this should be a kind of Tujili approach, and it is better to believe it than to believe it.

While the peers frolicked with the bride and groom, the elders of the clan smeared the groom's parents or uncles and aunts with the bottom of the pot with soot. What's even more lively is that the people who participate in the haunted cave house have to take turns to carry the bamboo woven scoop prepared in advance, put on the bamboo hat, and hold the walking stick. Put bamboo brushes, bamboo baskets and other household utensils in the basket.

With the scoop on his back, everyone has to say blessings for the bride and groom, and if he doesn't say well, not much, and without being witty, he can't put down the heavy scoop. In the room and in front of the courtyard dam, it was very lively, watching, talking, pushing, pulling, cheering, laughing one after another, until late at night.

This is a traditional custom, which is festive.

What is the custom of this place? We don't have it here.

Are you wiping it for the elders? My wife's maiden house is to wipe the groom, saying that when I went to pick up my relatives, I was wiped with paint by a group of children, how can I not wash it off, the distance is still far away, I just walked all the way with my face. . .

There are a few local customs, but I don't hear much about them.

This custom is not only in Xinyang, but also in many places (Zhumadian also has this custom). Generally, everyone knows that on the day of the wedding, it is a very lively thing to slap the face of the happy father-in-law and mother-in-law, which is the Songkran Festival of the Dai people.

Similarly, it is also blessing the parents of the newlyweds.

However, the origin of the flower face (which may be called smeared in some places) is because in the past, when I was poor, my family basically used a pot to cook and burn firewood. On the first day of the couple's marriage, the man will gather for a meal, because tomorrow, there will be one more person in the family (referring to the bride entering the door), and one more person will cook. In order to celebrate the bride and groom, they dig up the wood ash from the boiler and put some water on the wedding day, and smear it on the faces of the groom's parents, so that the bride and her family can recognize their in-laws at a glance.

Although the pot has gradually moved away from our lives, this custom has been preserved. Now most of the flowers are to be lively, festive, and bless the family with a playful attitude. Nowadays, cosmetics are often used to make faces, and shoe polish is also used.

When I got married, my family was smeared with black shoe polish.

The real origins of the smear should be the following:

One is that it originated from people's worship of the god of fire, and of course people hope that it will be prosperous, so people who marry very early are to light torches, and lighting torches will inevitably make their faces black, and the second is that it originated from ancient marriage robbery. In order to avoid being robbed, it should be the most realistic way to deliberately wipe your face black when marrying.

The third is the meaning of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil, and blessing peace.

Why do people still want to smear it now?

Some people who officiate at weddings mostly say that they want to be festive and lively. To sum up, there are three general statements:

1. When the groom goes to the woman's house, the woman's sisters-in-law or other sisters smear it, indicating that the bride has a good relationship with everyone at home, the bride has a status at home, and the sisters-in-law are also very envious of the girl who has found a good husband, so smearing black can't make you too handsome.

2. After the groom is blackened, someone will ask the groom if he washes [happy] or not, and the groom will definitely say that washing [happy] is originally a happy event, so people just want to be happy.

3. When it comes to errands now, the juniors of the man's family will also smear the groom's parents. And the juniors of the woman's family will also smear the parents of the woman's family, in addition to the picture of a happy child, an important reason is to let the relatives recognize the woman's parents at a glance. At the same time, the people who send the woman's family can also recognize the man's parents at a glance, which is a very important mark.

It only existed in the early years in the countryside, and I personally think it is an act of revenge. It is a custom in Handan.

There is a relatively bad custom of marriage in rural areas, which is the "hole house", and there are generally younger brothers or nephews who carry the bride to the stool, and the bride is generally afraid of this pass. So on the day of the wedding, the bride's sister-in-law will smear the groom or parents-in-law with black shoe polish on the face, so that the two sides are even, o( o....Ha ha.

This is a local custom.

We're scarletizing Tugilly.

I guess that's what smear means.

Smear the faces of the parents, the groom, in order to be auspicious.
