Both the man and the woman take the birth date to the fortuneteller to join the marriage. 2. After the appointment, the man and woman married smoothly and properly. Geng posted the date of birth of the man, and the matchmaker talked about the beneficiary and makeup. 3. Dading, at this time, the man makes sugar cake or flatbread (hemp cake) and bahe (chicken, hoof, sponge cake, pork liver, fish, meat, noodles, etc.) to the woman. The woman distributed the bread and meat to relatives. 4. Sending off the date. Later, the male family will decide a wedding auspicious date and let the matchmaker inform the female family. 5. When married, the man goes to the woman’s house to welcome his relatives. The dowry, such as bedding, tin utensils, wardrobe, and foot bowls, is tied with red string, inserted into the green cypress, and labeled "Double Happiness"; after receiving the bride, he puts on a wedding banquet and makes the bridal chamber. Regardless of men, women, young or old, noble and inferior, there are no taboos, and there is a saying that "there is no big or small for three days".
Boat Customs
During the long-term navigation of Nanxi River, various customs have been formed. The punting boss pays the most attention to propping up the "starting pole", and thinks that "driving a boat is like a soldier and a team, and you can't be sloppy." Therefore, at the beginning, the first ball must be steady and solid. The boatman starts with a good sign as a good omen. "Starting Zhuo" pierced into the air, or caught in a crack in the rock, Yu Tian was unlucky. Sing the boat song as long as the boss sings alone, or the boss of the neighboring boat sings in duet. The boss of the third boat can't squeeze into the waterway to sing, so that the chaos and the rush to go first will make the boat unstable and unfavorable. In the past, due to the backward technology of shipbuilding, the numerous beaches of the Nanxi River, and the lack of weather forecasts, there was a danger of capsizing at any time. Therefore, there were various taboos for shipbuilding and boating: any damage, collision, collision, overturning, rest, leakage, etc. Don’t talk about it. Don’t knock the bowls when you eat. Don’t throw the bowls back after a meal. Don’t use a spatula to scorch the rice.
