folk culture

Bridal sedan chair

From ancient times to the present, on the day when the girl got married, the man needed a sedan chair to meet her. If the man didn't use the sedan chair, the woman would not marry. There are two main reasons for this: first, the transportation was inconvenient at that time, so it was used as a means of transportation; second, it reflected the man's initiative. It is often mentioned that there was a quarrel between two couples over trifles. The man said how the woman was, but the woman said, "at that time, you carried me in the sedan chair, not me. As a result, the man was speechless.". The reason is that the bridal sedan has been followed up to now. Although the transportation is convenient now, many young people still use sedan chair to get married, which brings endless fun and happiness to the young man.

Offering graves

In October every year, people will offer graves to their relatives who died soon. The purpose is to remember their dead relatives and let them rest in the spring. Generally speaking, offering a grave for three years is divided into big offering and small offering. When the time comes, people will ask the Taoist priest to carry the killed animals to the grave, burn paper money and set off firecrackers. It will take two or three days for such a sacrifice.
