What are the characteristics of Xiangyang's customs?

Before and after the spring festival

In the old society, the twenty-third lunar month passed off (and a few people celebrated the twenty-fourth lunar month). On this day, clean indoor and outdoor, send kitchen gods and eat kitchen cakes. On this day, city residents also eat kitchen candy. On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Spring Festival couplets are posted to worship the gods, greet ancestors, set off firecrackers, and have a reunion dinner at the same table, which is called "having a reunion dinner" to celebrate good luck and peace in the past year. In the evening, people stay up late, and some stay up all night. From the first day to the third day of the first month, 3 days is the first day of the New Year. In the early morning of the first day, ancestors were worshipped with incense, sacrifices, cakes and other sacrifices, and then New Year greetings were given to elders, and "lucky money" was given to elders. Eating jiaozi for the first meal is called "Deyuanbao", which is a symbol of prosperity as a group. Then, neighbors and relatives pay New Year greetings to each other. Generally, rock tea is served, while close relatives and friends are served with wine and rice. Visit relatives from the second day to the third day, bring gifts to visit parents-in-law, aunts or uncles, especially to pay New Year greetings to parents-in-law. The fifth day is called "Breaking Five", which is more grand than the festival. People meet and say "Congratulations on getting rich". During the Spring Festival, there are many taboos. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't do needlework, sweep the floor, splash water on the ground, eat fish or say unlucky things. If you have to say it, you must use taboo methods, such as "death" is "old".

Drink to eat

People in this county are used to eating three meals during a solar eclipse, two thin ones are dry (that is, eating thin ones in the morning and evening and eating dry ones at noon). Five meals during the busy farming season. In the past, wheat, beans, millet, corn, sorghum and sweet potato were the main products. Except for rice producing areas such as Oumiao, Jin Dong, Yushan, Huanglong and Nizui, other places are mainly pasta, and rice is rarely eaten. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), rice production has been developed due to the vigorous construction of water conservancy projects. People mainly eat rice and white flour, and seldom eat miscellaneous grains. Nobody eats barley, millet or sorghum at all. The eating habits of people in northern Hunan have changed greatly. Usually, the food is frugal, just one or two vegetarian dishes, busy farming and prosperous festivals. Celebration is a meatless meal. Northern Hunan is used to pickled vegetables, while southern Hunan is used to cooked vegetables.

marry

There were "Six Rites" in ancient times. During the Republic of China, it was simplified to four steps of engagement. Pass on the boxer, Gu said "take eight characters", that is, Grandpa Hong (the matchmaker) will give the woman's boxer paste to the man, but it must be calculated according to the date of birth first. If the two sides hit it off, they can get engaged. If they have a conflict, they will return Geng paste. After engagement, the man gives the woman a gift once a year, which is called "Geng Chong" until marriage. After a while, the man's parents invited his grandfather to the woman's house to consult about marriage, and agreed on the wedding date (usually two days in the lunar calendar). The woman's parents asked Hongye for a bride price (quantity and quality of jewelry and clothes) and asked Hongye to tell the man's family. If the man agrees, they will get married separately. The day before the wedding, a banquet was held to entertain the guests. The man called it "warm langxi" and the woman called it "hair-combing wine". On the wedding day, the groom dressed up, sat on the official bridge, led the sedan chair to meet the bride, and firecrackers rang all the way. When I arrived at my daughter's house, I worshipped her ancestors to show my willingness to be her son-in-law. The bride is wearing a rockhopper, a red coat and a skirt around her waist. After the farewell ceremony of ancestor worship, her brother carried a sedan chair on his back, and her brother or nephew gave it to her, which was called "Faqin". The groom's sedan chair is in front, and the bride's sedan chair and dowry are behind, marching in the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers. The bride arrived at the door of the man's house, and with the help of her "mother-in-law", she boarded the hall in a sedan chair and worshipped heaven and earth with the groom. After the ceremony, the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber, have a "toast" and put their shoes together to show their love for each other. In order to increase the festive atmosphere, his cousins and young guests entered the bridal chamber and joked with the bride, naming it "noisy room". Some uncles are also "noisy", the so-called "three days without two days." The next morning, the bride brought tea to the elders, that is, each person had a cup of rice flowers in syrup, and two special snacks similar to moon cakes were added. Everyone who drinks tea has a tea money reward. On the third day, the bride was taken back to her family by her sister-in-law or nephew, and the groom, as a guest, brought a gift and named it "Eating Huimen Wine". After dinner, the bride came back with the groom because there was no room for three days.

Fangyan

Xiangfan dialect (the native language of Xiangfan and Fancheng) is the representative dialect in this area. Xiangfan dialect belongs to the "southwest sub-dialect" of the northern dialect. Influenced by Qinba dialect, the language in Southwest China is "light on Qin", and the language in Northeast China is almost Henan. From the aspects of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, there are differences between Xiangfan dialect and Putonghua, especially in pronunciation.
