Walking custom

Before liberation, when people went out to walk, there was the custom of choosing the month and the day. When you go out in the first month, you should choose "double days" (that is, even days, which means that good things are in pairs), and you should avoid "seven days are not at the beginning, eight days are not back". Do not go out on weekdays on the third day of each month, that is, the fifth day, the fourteenth day and the 23rd day. If you are the first to meet a woman when you go out, it is considered a bad omen. When a woman gets married, she goes to her mother-in-law's house in a sedan chair. After liberation, the bride married on foot, and was gradually replaced by bicycles, motorcycles and cars after the 1980s.
