Marriage is a sacred covenant and a lifelong commitment to join hands with each other. What is the marriage custom in Lianyungang?

China is a country with a vast territory and many nationalities. People living in different areas have their own living customs due to different environments and habits. Here, bread contains the wisdom of life and the longing for the future. In Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, the wedding custom is quite traditional, and the bride price needs to be carried four loads, but also beaten along the way. The more lively, the more powerful the groom's family is, and people around him will know that their son is married.

Marriage is a sacred covenant and a lifelong commitment to join hands with each other. In ancient customs, the promise at the wedding is blessed by God, so whether the wedding is successful or not has become a matter of great concern to the older generation. Jiangsu is located in the coastal area and is known as the land of plenty. Jiangsu people attach great importance to family culture and naturally attach great importance to weddings and funerals.

In Lianyungang's wedding custom, bride price is an important link. If there is not enough gift money, the heart will fail. In the choice of bride price, the old and the new are combined. In the old society, the bride price was divided into four parts: financial gift, betrothal gift, talent recruitment and thank-you gift. Now Lianyungang people have improved on this basis, combining the four gifts into four burdens and sending them to the woman's house together under the guidance of the matchmaker.

There are also many kinds of bride price, such as chicken, duck, fish, alcohol, tobacco and gifts. When giving the bride price, the man should hire a drummer to accompany him and sing all the way. Of course, when a woman is married, the family is naturally reluctant. In order to ensure the daughter's future life, a generous dowry is essential, which can be gold and silver jewelry, jade, or gift money. In the countryside, there is also a fat pig to accompany.

When you get married, as an elder, you need to give good wishes. Generally speaking, you would like this couple to have many children. In the northern region, four kinds of fruits will be placed at the bedside for the bride and groom to reach out for, which is called "grasping happiness". Children's barrels are often used in southern China. Children's bucket is a traditional wedding product, which is similar in shape to spittoon and toilet and about the size of a shoe box. Wealthy families will make more fuss about the material of children's barrels. They can choose gold inlaid, jade inlaid and sterling silver, and they can also customize Jingdezhen ceramics as eternal souvenirs.

In addition, scissors should be prepared in the new house, which means "butterfly Qi Fei" and vase "flowers bloom with wealth", which is also one of the wedding customs in Lianyungang.
