Chapter 7 Volume 23 Customs and Customs

Lian Heng said: The Six Arts are also the books of sages. That's why "Ritual" is used to treat people, "Le" is used to create harmony, and "Dao" is used to explain things.There is nothing like "Spring and Autumn" to turn the troubled times into reverse.During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wang Xi's "Poetry" died, and Confucius hurt Yan, so he wrote it to study the time between heaven and man, and understand the changes of the past and the present, and its usefulness is extensive.Those who stick to the sky are not enough to rule people; those who are muddled in the past are not enough to control the present.Customs have been formed for hundreds of years, decades, or as far as thousands of years. They are subtle, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and become a group of virtues. Therefore, the reason why they are tied to the nation is really great.The people of the Xia Dynasty value loyalty, the people of the Yin Dynasty value quality, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty value literature. The prosperity of each generation has its own production.Therefore, those who eat rice are soft, those who eat wheat are strong, and those who eat millet are narrow. The food is different, but the temperament is different.People from Taiwan, people from China, and people from Fujian and Guangdong.Fujian lives near the sea, while Guangdong lives in the mountains. The location is different, and the customs are also different.Therefore, the people of Fujian are more enterprising, while the people of Guangdong are more conservative.Only enterprising, so its ambition is great, its behavior is wanton, and it may flow into emptiness.Only preservation, so its ambition is firm, its travel is narrow, and it may be close to the pass.It is the virtue of one side, and it cannot be changed.Reminiscing about the past, my ancestors and my ancestors crossed the sea, entered the wilderness, faced danger and survived difficulties, and colonized this land for a long time. It is like the Puritans who expanded America as far as they could, and they could not bear to be slaves.Therefore, he is very brave and generous, and after ten generations, there are still survivors.This means that the morality of the group does not fall, but is tied to customs, how small it is!

age One day before the Beginning of Autumn, there was a Siyu sculpture of a spring cow, which was placed outside the eastern suburbs. The view of men and women in full dress, the fragrance of clothes and the shadows of fans, is full of noise.When a spring ox passes by, children will grope its ears or whip its body, which is said to be a blessing.The Spring Festival is like the beginning of the year, especially lively, just like a scene of peace. On New Year's Day, each family cleans the room first, changes peach charms, and lays a new one. After the third watch, the door is opened to worship the gods, candles are lit, and firecrackers are set off, which is called the beginning of spring.The next time I pay homage to the elder, Jin eulogizes.Go out to visit friends, cast stabs to congratulate, meet, and say auspicious words.When guests arrive, serve them with betel nuts as a sweetener.When the sons and daughters of relatives and friends arrive, they will be presented with red strings of money, or a hundred or dozens of letters, which is called a tie.On this day, every family eats rice balls in the meaning of reunion, or avoids meat, worships the Jingmen stove, and the sound of firecrackers is endless day and night.

On the second day of the lunar new year, worship the ancestors at home.The newlyweds went to their natal family early to celebrate the spring, and set up a banquet for them, and the son-in-law gave them gifts. On the third day of the lunar new year, I went out to show the tomb in the suburbs and sacrificed rice cakes and sweets.From the day to the end of spring, there is a constant flow of traffic between the lands. On the fourth day of the lunar new year, animals are prepared, wine is prepared, paper horses are burned, which is called receiving gods, and the shops are opened for business.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, it is said that it is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, and all the streets perform operas to offer sacrifices.From New Year's Day to Wangri, the gentry's family often hosts banquets and entertains each other, with the meaning of spring wine to promote longevity. On the eve of the Lantern Festival, people from cities and villages will light up lanterns and festoons, set off fireworks and compete in dragon lantern competitions.Ladies and gentlemen go out on a trip, singing and dancing.There are many temple fairs in every street, and the King's Temple in Sanshan, Tainan County, holds a flower competition, displaying hundreds of pots of narcissus, and judging their merits and demerits, which is also an elegant event. "Chi Xian Bi Tan" said that the daughter of the Yuanxiao Weizi stole the flowers, branches and bamboo leaves of others, and was criticized by others, thinking that she would find a good son-in-law in the future.This wind is gone now.

On the second day of the second month of February, it is the official day of the society, and there are many sacrifices in all streets, and people gather to drink, which is called the head office.And take December 16 as the end.The beginning of the beginning, the end of the end, the collection of Yamen, it is said that the first collection is made by Chundong.The hometown is especially prosperous, and so are the merchants. On the third day of March, it was called Shangsi in ancient times, and Zhang people called it the Three-day Festival, where ancestors and tombs were worshipped.And people in Quanzhou call it "tasting the tomb" and "tasting the spring sacrifice" in the Qingming Festival.Sacrifice with cakes, cure animals and wine, hang paper money, and return to eat.The pastry is covered with koji, wrapped in meat and vegetables, and those fried in oil are called spring pancakes.To taste the ceremony of the tomb, rich and noble families go together every year, while ordinary people go together every two or three years.When the women and children return home, they put banyan branches in their buns to keep good luck.

March 19th is said to be the birthday of the sun, but in fact it is the day when Ming Sizong died for his country.Make porridge and sheep with noodles, nine porpoises and sixteen sheep, which is still a ritual of being too prison.Looking east to worship it, the emperor was shocked.Every family lights up lamps, wanting to see them brightly.The thought of subjugation is leisurely and far away. On the 23rd, Tianhou's birthday.Many people from Nanbei Township went to Beigang to Jinxiang, and Yuezhuang was particularly prosperous.From the beginning of spring to the end of the month, the sound of the flag and the shadow of the Luan continues in the Tao. People who are Jinxiang will not dare to be robbed by robbers, and they are afraid of God's condemnation if they are robbed.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is called the Dragon Boat Festival in ancient times, and the Taiwanese call it the Midday Festival.Put cattails in the door, use moxa as soup, and worship the ancestors with the fruit of horn millet.Women wear cocoons and tigers, and use five-color silk to make birds, animals, flowers and fruits, and children wear them, which are said to ward off evil spirits.Dragon and boat races along the coast, temples and ships are all beating gongs and drums, which are called dragon boat drums.Since the commercial prosperity of Tainan, suburban merchants have made gold medals, each worth dozens of gold, and they will welcome them with advocacy for a few days.

On the first day of June, people worship their ancestors with rice pills, which are called half-year pills.Or do it with hope. On the first day of the seventh month, it is called the opening of the prison gate, and each family offers sacrifices.From the day to the end of the month, the workshops take turns to perform Purdue, prolong the ritual repentance of the monks, and give generously to the hungry ghosts.Put the water lamp first to illuminate the ghost.The custom of worshiping ghosts is especially true in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and the money is huge and unbreakable. The seventh day of the seventh month is called Qixi Festival in ancient times.Scholars offer sacrifices to Kuixing, offering sheep heads with red ■ on top, which is called Jieyuan.Those who are on the east side hold the sign of returning home, which is explained by the fact that sheep have horns, and the shape of ■ is like a yuan character.For wealthy families, children up to the age of sixteen will paste a paper pavilion to sacrifice to the Weaver Girl, and set up wine for punishment and animal sacrifices, to wish them adulthood and relatives and friends to congratulate them.At night, the women put flowers and fruits in the court, offering sacrifices to the twin stars, just like begging for cleverness in ancient times.

On the fifteenth day, it is called Zhongyuan.Taiwanese regard the Qingming Festival as the Spring Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival as the Autumn Festival, and the Winter Solstice as the Winter Festival. Each worships its ancestors. August 15th is called the Mid-Autumn Festival.All sacrifices to the communes, lanterns and performances, the same as the second day of February, spring prayers and autumn reports.Children build towers, light lamps, and display antiques.The scholar handed it to drink, made moon cakes, Zhu Shuyuan characters, and threw four reds to win them, so as to get the omen of autumn seizing the yuan.In the middle of the night, women listen to incense and use divination to rest their blame.

The ninth day of September is called Chongyang.Worship ancestors with mochi.Children fly paper kites and tie kites.From Shuo Ri onwards, many people hold fasts, called Jiuhuangzhai, and the springs are the most honored. On October 15th, it is called Xiayuan, and there are people who worship gods. On the day of the winter solstice, worship the ancestors and glue the door with rice balls.On the eve of the previous day, children made plastic chickens and hogs and other things, which is called adding years, just like the ancient sub-years. On December 16th, the public of the society is worshiped, which is called the Wei Ya.The workers, You Sheng, will be scattered after one year of operation.And the school also started classes at a price of more than 100 yuan, and the first office was on holiday.Those who go out often return home to celebrate their new year.

On the twenty-fourth day, sacrifices and wine were prepared, paper horses were burned, and each sacrificed to the gods they worshiped, which is called sending off the gods.On the fourth day of the first lunar month of next year, it will be called the reception of the gods as before.The next day, I thought that the gods descended to observe the good and evil in the world, so I dare not be arrogant, and I must be careful with my words. On New Year's Eve, rice cakes are used to worship the ancestors and the Shenmen stove of the house.Take a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, put it in front of the god, and put red spring flowers on it to show the meaning of surplus food.In the first few days, relatives and friends will give gifts.It is the evening when candles are lit and firecrackers are set off, which is called farewell to the year.The whole family gathers around the stove to drink, and rings the money around the stove.Display room for the new year. Palace Most of the palaces in Taiwan are from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. In the cities, tile-roofed houses are built with brick walls, and they live next to each other with few floors.The ground is constantly shaking, so its pillars and beams must be strong, and the jue must be dense, and it can last for hundreds of years without breaking.The plan of the hall structure is far-sighted. The rich houses each built huge buildings, surrounded by walls, the entrance was the courtyard, and the steps were the rooms.There are about one hall and four rooms, and the rooms are hatchbacks.The large hall is about one foot and eight feet wide, and it is used to worship gods or ancestors, which can be used for celebration and banquet.On the left side of the room, the elders live in it, and the servants and maidservants live in the hatchback.Those who live together in the same family are connected by giant buildings, bypassing Quda. Houses in the countryside are made of bamboo and thatched roofs, and there are also tile-roofed houses, with earthen walls as walls, which become stronger over time, and surrounded by thorn fences, where chickens and pigs are kept, so-called five-acre houses.In the past, people who cultivated the land gathered together to live, and built a soil enclosure outside to prevent harm, so it was called a fort.And Penghu is located in Mizukuma, so it is called "Ao", and the so-called four houses are also houses. In the sea near Penghu, anvils are used to build walls.Born at the water's edge, it is as brittle as a stone, and it can be calcined ashes in the nests of snails and mussels.It is cheap and widely used, and it is inexhaustible. It can be carried by boat, and it is also useful for government administration. Although Taiwan produces timber, most of the cedars used to build houses are from the upper reaches of Fujian.Bricks and tiles also come from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and there are self-fired places in the north and south, and their color is red. On the ridge of the roof, there may be a clay puppet standing on a horse and bending a bow. It looks very powerful. It is Chi You, which is said to be overwhelming.At the mouth of the alley, there is a stone standing beside it, engraved with the three characters "Shi Gandang", which is an ancient warrior who can kill ghosts.Rich families in Taiwan seldom build gardens, or plant flowers and trees in their houses.However, like the garden of the Wu family in Tainan Prefecture, the pavilions, water and stones are very well arranged.But Feilai Peak is especially superior, with rocks as the mountain, deep and winding, although it lives in the city, it has the charm of hills and valleys.For example, the Qianyuan of the Lin family of Zhuchi, it was a place for drinking and singing for a while, and the culture and wine were romantic, and it has disappeared now.As for the Lai Garden of the Lin family in Wufeng, the houses are built against the mountains, and the ancient trees are shabby, which is quite natural. clothing Taiwan has a lot of vegetation, and the north and south are slightly different. Xia Ge and winter fur can fully survive the year, so there is no need for foxes and raccoons.Those brought by officials are only used for welcoming the spring.However, the sun is shining in spring, the wild flowers have been released, and I am sweating profusely because of Xuan's dedication.The north-south climate is bounded by Dajia.Below Dajia, it gets warmer the further south you go, and it gets colder in Hengchun, so you don't wear fur in winter.It gets colder as it goes north, and there is also snow in Keelung.Today, the population is getting more and more dense, and the atmosphere of the earth is warm. After the beginning of summer, the whole Taiwan will be hot, and everyone will be clothed in Gebu. The land does not grow cotton, so there are no woven fabrics, and all silks come from outside.Men and women mostly use plain cloth, but in rural areas, it is still green and black, because it is not easy to wear.The blue and black cloth is self-dyed everywhere, and it never fades. People from other provinces cherish it very much, thinking that the soil is suitable.Covered by the clear water of the stream, whiteness can be perceived by color.Fishermen along the coast know that they dye their clothes with potato nuts. The color is ocher, and the water in Yu is not dirty.The occupation is different, and the obedience is also different, which can be known at a glance. The genus of silk and satin comes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and is used by gentry and rich.After the establishment of the province, hang satin prevailed, followed by bureau satin. Most of them wear blue robes and black jackets. There are also Mrs. Yihong and young green youths who compete for beauty and beauty. With each passing day, there are all kinds of flowers and ten colors, but they are all different. After Haitong, foreign cloth was sold in great demand, woolen feathers and the like came in endlessly, and floral cloth was especially popular, with new colors and patterns, and women liked to use it.The white cloth of Quanzhou, the green cloth of Fuzhou, and the purple flower cloth of Ningbo are still sold in the villages. The style of clothes changes with time.In the past, men's clothes were all knee-length, with sleeves four or five inches wide.Since the Tongzhi period, the clothes have become shorter and the sleeves have become wider. Some of them have reached one foot and two inches, but now they are gradually returning to their original days. The young lady in the red boudoir, the charming girl in the embroidered pavilion, the selection of colors and materials are all based on fashion.Taiwan regards red as auspicious, and whenever there is a celebration, everyone wears a red dress, even if they are old.In the concubine of the concubine, you are not allowed to take it, and the etiquette is slightly killed. When a man and a woman get married, the auspicious day is predicted first, and the woman is ordered by Yanfu to make clothes and trousers with white cloth, which is called the upper headgear, whichever is clean.Receive it after marriage, and use it as a funeral when you don't have time. Most women in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou have their feet bound, and the beauty is small, and the three-inch bow shoes are exquisitely embroidered.But the Cantonese are not. Plowing the fields and laboring are no different from men, and they are usually barefoot.The Cantonese farmers are located in the mountains, and their style is frugal, so their clothes are made of blue and black cloth.Women's clothes are only based on their true colors, and trousers are the same.Every time you go out, cover your bun with black cloth and wrap it around your neck.Skirts are not popular, and so are rich families, because they are easy to operate. The coast is windy, and the nearby mountains are full of miasma. Commercial, industrial, agricultural and fishing are all wrapped in black cloth.Scholars, on the other hand, wear small hats, long clothes, and short coats when they have something to do. They are as gentle as a scholarly forest. The genus of shoes and socks is the market for all.In the past, most of them came from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and there were also local manufacturers.After the establishment of the province, the style of Shanghai gradually became popular, and the decorations were all the same, and the gentry's house became more and more luxurious and beautiful. Women's jewelry is mostly made of gold and silver, and one hairpin and one earring change with time.Rich families value pearls and jade, which are worth thousands of gold.The feet are bound with Shaoai, or the feet are bound with golden rings, and a small bell is attached to the side. The sound of Ding Dong comes from afar, and under the moonlight among the flowers, it is like wearing a ring. The style of the bun is different in urban and rural areas, as well as in old and young.The girl with long hair, at the age of fourteen or five, began to comb her hair, either in the shape of a coiled snake, or in the shape of a falling horse.But Cantonese women have high dolls and swallowtails, so they don't show off their charm. In the past, when women went out, they would carry umbrellas to cover their faces. They were called umbrellas with pistils, and it was said that it was the custom of Zhu Ziyang's governance of Zhangzhou.After that, it is like a stick, and you can still hold it.After Haitong, cloth umbrellas were used instead to cover the scorching sun. After returning to the Qing Dynasty, they fully complied with the Qing system, and there were three promises of non-surrender, that is, officials will not surrender, men and women will not surrender, and birth and death will not surrender.Official uniforms in the Qing Dynasty all had grades, but subordinate officials remained the same; when they got married, men wore red hats and gowns, while women wore beaded crowns and Xiapei, python jackets with corner belts, dignified and gorgeous, just like the palace costumes of the Ming Dynasty.When encoffining, both men and women will wear Ming clothes, and only those with meritorious reputation will be ruled by the Qing Dynasty.The thought of the homeland is leisurely and far away. diet Rice is grown in Taiwan, so everyone eats rice. In the cities and villages, everyone eats three meals a day, with one porridge and two meals a day.The rich can support themselves, and the poor can also eat sweet potatoes without worrying about their stomachs.The seed of sweet potato comes from Luzon, so it is called sweet potato. It can be sown and planted on sandy slopes and barren soil. Its price is very cheap, and it is easy to eat.Between spring and summer, the sweet potatoes are in full bloom, and they are shredded, about an inch long, and dried in the sun.But Penghu eats this for many years, which can be called food for the poor.Potatoes are things that can be eaten raw, ground into flour, brewed into wine, or steamed into cakes.Only long-term eaters must be digested with salt.If it is boiled with sugar, it is only for refreshment. The glutinous rice is the technique, sweet in taste and moist in taste, can be ground into flour, brewed in wine, steamed into cakes.Taiwanese people eat rice balls every time they celebrate the new year, and they eat glutinous rice as a symbol of reunion.Glutinous rice is also used for the dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, the dumplings for the Chongjiu, the buns for the Winter Solstice, and the cakes for the New Year.Because Taiwan produces rice, it uses a lot of rice. Wheat is produced in temperate regions, less in Taiwan, and most of its wheat flour comes from other provinces, but more recently it uses agar flour.Making cakes and noodles are all made of powder, and the sales are quite large.Red tortoises must be used for celebrations at the age of the year, just like its shape.The white ones are called steamed buns, and the funeral sacrifices are for you.For the filling of cakes, beans are mostly used, or hemp, or smashed peanuts are used as the powder.Taiwan produces sugar, so there is also a lot of sugar. Wine is used as a ritual, worshiping the gods and swallows, and old wine is mostly used.Brewed with techniques, it tastes sweet and poisonous, and it is better when aged, so it is called old wine.It can be sold in the market, but it is not as beautiful as home brewing.The red of old wine is used for marriage, whichever is auspicious.Between villages, sweet potato is used as wine, and its taste is lighter.Fanshe, on the other hand, brews it with millet, and when relatives and friends meet each other, it is a joy to use it, and it will stop getting drunk.Singing and dancing, quite ancient style.Anyone who is guilty of fan custom will be given a drink of ox wine. After drinking, all the suspicions will be released, so there is no punishment.And the Han people also used cattle and wine to make peace with them.However, he is addicted to alcohol, and after drinking too much, every time he does something wrong, he will come out and kill people, which is his nature.Wines from other provinces, such as sorghum from the north and Huachao from Shaoxing, are also widely sold.After Haitong, foreign wine was gradually used, but the amount was very small, and it was only for the entertainment of officials and gentry, so it was not a leak. Taiwan's food is the same as that of Fujian and Guangdong. The coast is rich in fish and shrimp, while the mountains near the mountains are full of elk, so everyone eats meat.The delicacies of the delicacies are shark's fin and pigeon dan, both of which are local products.During the feast, the porpoise must be burned, while Yuezhuang will kill the cat and serve the distinguished guests with its head.There are delicacies in Fujian and Guangdong, but the taste is different. Therefore, it is forbidden to kill farm cattle, and those who eat them are few, and those who talk about retribution are guilty of eating cattle.In order to offer sacrifices to heaven and saints, they first used prisons, which are not worth eating on weekdays, because they have the labor of plowing the fields.Those who slaughter cattle are called cattle households, for example, they have to pay taxes, and every private slaughter in the countryside.When it comes to praying for rain and sunshine, officials will ban slaughter, and folks who build sacrifices to worship gods will also abstain from meat, in order to express the meaning of fasting. The osmanthus is a seasonal fruit in Tainan. When it is not ripe, it is peeled and soaked in salt. It can be eaten as a dish or cooked as raw fish.It tastes sour and delicious, and it strengthens the stomach when eaten. When it is yellow, the juice is rich and sweet. Many people love it, or drink it below. However, non-Tainan people do not know this taste. "Chi Xian Bi Tan" says that Taiwanese cook meat with jackfruit and boil lungs with pineapples. Guava, also known as Nailong, grows all over the countryside. When it is in full bloom, cut the skin and discard the seeds, mix with oil and sugar, add a little salt, cook it and eat it, and it can also be eaten with rice.Betel nuts can ward off miasma, so people in Taiwan like to eat them, and relatives and friends communicate with each other to give them to each other.The betel nut is as green as a jujube, split in two, and with betel leaf and lime, the taste is slightly pungent, and after a while it tastes sweet, but after a long time, the teeth will turn black.The nature of betel nut, discarding accumulated dampness, is used as medicine.Recently, there are fewer eaters, and the Yingying girls compete with each other with their bright teeth.Dried betel nuts are like bamboo shoots, shredded and fried with meat, the taste is especially sweet, Taiwanese call it half-day bamboo shoots. Taiwan has the most fruits, and when they are in full bloom, their prices are very cheap.Taiwan also produces sugar, so many candied fruits are made everywhere, such as the ginger in Hsinchu, the plums in Chiayi, and the pineapple cake in Fengshan, which are especially famous.In recent years, Lin Jizhang, a post-banner doctor, began to sell pineapple in cans made in Western France.If the scale can be expanded, the wider the market, the more profitable it will be. crown marriage The ceremony of becoming an adult, the male crown and the female hairpin, are mostly performed at the time of marriage in Taiwan.Only wealthy families with children up to seventeen years old, on the day of Qixi Festival, worship the gods and ancestors, write the words of father and teacher, and congratulate them from friends and relatives. A pavilion made of paper is used to worship the Weaver Girl to introduce Jingfu. When discussing marriage, the matchmaker sent Nv Geng a post to her husband's house, and wrote her date.If there is nothing to do at home within three days, then make an alliance. If there is someone who accidentally destroys the utensils, the divination will be changed, which is also the meaning of the ancients asking for names. On the day of the alliance, the man's family will present the daughter with a ring and cakes, the mother and sister-in-law will go in person, and the daughter will serve tea;Or just send the matchmaker to send it. The ceremony of accepting the harvest is commonly known as inserting hairpins.The men's family uses a pair of gold hairpins, tied with Zhusi, and puts them in a box, or uses silver hairpins, depending on whether they are rich or poor.The female family pays with cakes and fruits, such as bananas, pineapples, taro, and red oranges.Each with its own things, share with relatives and friends. The ceremony of accepting the levy is commonly known as the completion of the engagement.The betrothal money for men's furniture is delivered to the woman's home in the form of phoenix crown python jacket, clothes embroidered boots, gold bracelets, beads and flowers, and big cakes and sweets. Two betel nuts are made of tin, each with four leaves, and a book "two surnames" Marriage", a book "Growing Old Together for a Hundred Years".The daughter's family received a letter of remarriage, and answered it with cakes and fruits.He also presented his son-in-law with red hats, satin boots, gowns, coats, shoes and socks, purses, fans, bags, books, pens and inkstones, etc., as well as two tin boxes, one planted lotus and bananas, the other planted pomegranates, four pomegranates made of silver, and several sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. The branches are tied with red silk, which is called Lianzhao Guizi.The male family is planted in the courtyard to show prosperity.The ceremony of Na Zheng is slightly the same as Na Cai, but Tainan does it at the same time. On the date of request, order the matchmaker to send a daily lesson to the woman's family, which is more elegant, and the woman's family does the opposite.More formality is also a gift to remind makeup. On the day of personal greetings, auspicious prophecies will be crowned, and relatives and girls who have both parents and brothers will be chosen as the guests.The son-in-law sits in the hall, puts a crown and new clothes on the bamboo sieve, and diffuses them with fragrance, which is auspicious.The guest combed his son-in-law's hair three times and added it to the crown, which is the righteousness of the three additions.Both crown, worship ancestors, and sue the temple.The next time you pay homage to your parents, if you have no parents, the one who officiates the marriage will take their place. The ceremony will be done with wine, and the precepts will be resigned, just like the feast of the ceremony.The next time I paid homage to my father and elder brothers, they all answered, and I value adults.At that time, women also performed the Ji ceremony, just like the previous ceremony, and only the guests used boys.After that, a banquet was held for farewell, the female first sat, and the parents, brothers and sisters accompanied the second, and the wine was rounded up three times before leaving.The ceremony of the crown is commonly known as Shangtou. First, glutinous rice is ground into big pills, and red dots are sprinkled on top, and distributed to relatives and friends. When we greet each other, the son-in-law is dressed in a big sedan chair, surrounded by red colors, and the matchmaker takes the lead, advocating to follow him, with four of his peers as a splendid walk, two boys carrying lanterns, two boys ringing gongs, all in sedan chairs, and setting off firecrackers along the way. Even if you meet an official, don't avoid it.Fan Nazheng, Qin Ying, each with a ceremony plate, one person's shoulders first, think Zhi, the plate contains a shoulder of pork and sheep, two slices of preserved deer, two bundles of Ming tendon, several catties of wax gourd and rock sugar, and two bottles of red wine.The daughter's family collected it, and replied that the pastry was the fruit of the season.Only relatives welcome Yi's preserved deer as ducks, and there are as many ducks as geese, in order to lay the ceremony of laying geese. When the son-in-law arrives at the daughter's house, he stays in the sedan chair in the courtyard, and the person who walks with money is in the other room. The next time I sent a purse, I answered with a practice skirt, and I gave my younger brother a firecracker.The daughter goes out of the hall in full makeup, the father sacrifices wine, the mother orders her to stand in the hall, and the three arch outwards, the son-in-law answers.The mother is for skirt training, and the father is covered with handkerchiefs.The son-in-law retreats, the sedan chair enters the door, Zigu helps the daughter to board the sedan chair, and walks happily. Two boys carry palace lanterns and ride in front of the sedan chair, followed by the maidservant.The women's house set off firecrackers and closed the door to show that they would not return.For those who are not personally welcomed, the son-in-law will be killed when he is in the hall. Behind the sedan chair, a bamboo sieve is covered, and the gossip is drawn in Zhu to avoid bad luck.As soon as it arrived, the young man stayed in the court. A boy offered a pair of oranges on a plate, and invited the newcomer to come out.Yu asked Fuming's wife to take the new man, cover it with a bamboo sieve with one hand, walk on the red felt, and walk with her son-in-law, straight into the bridal chamber.Put a bamboo sieve on the bed and a bronze mirror on the table.After paying homage, the son-in-law was to uncover the handkerchief, and before sitting in the case, he lit a Chinese candle and drank Hebei wine.The next day, Aunt Zi went back to her wife's house to spread the message that she was married, and the man's family gave her flowers and sugar bags. Three days, see you in the temple, worship your ancestors, and become a woman.The next time I worship my uncle and aunt, I sit down and accept it;The crowd sat down, and the bride offered tea, so that those who wore socks thought it was a gift, and the younger ones were divided into purses, and each answered with ceremonies.After that, the bride is given a banquet in the hall, accompanied by all the mothers and sisters, and the aunts drink wine.
