The escape of foreign words in marriage customs;
1, get married
When the daughter gets into the sedan chair, she will take out a pair of chopsticks tied with towels from the sedan chair and throw them out, indicating that she will come back to visit her parents and family from time to time. Because chopsticks stand for "tableware", except one pair, all the other chopsticks stay at home, which means "often go home for dinner".
2. Wedding ceremony
When the sedan chair is about to arrive at the man's house, the man's house should have a special person to see if the sedan chair has arrived, and notify in time to let the man's house, including the groom, avoid the "sedan chair head rush" in time, and notify the people in the kitchen to quickly put out the fire in the kitchen, so that the bride will have no anger in the future. This is the meaning of "the fire in the kitchen" to the bride's "angry" temperament. The following are all ways to borrow sounds.
3. "Bed" ceremony
In the old customs, people believe that the ancient copper coins on the four pads of the new bed can exorcise evil spirits and protect health. Therefore, when building a new store, we should shout out four sentences: "The bed rolls with safe money, and peace and happiness come year after year;" Plum blossoms proclaim early spring and conjugal love. "This kind of situation is a habit borrowed by Lenovo.
4, rolling workshop
In the bride's room (that is, the new house), a "back" (hanging) curtain was held, and after shouting four sentences, the bride's shop was covered with "the meaning of an egg as high as a mandarin duck" (that is, a wedding mattress) and straw mats. Then let some boys roll on the bed, which is called "getting out of bed". The boy's behavior of "getting out of bed" means that "children will occupy the bed in the future"
5. Manage wine "single room"
In the old society, women were not allowed to have banquets when they got married. They can only accompany the bride to have a wedding banquet in the bride's room (new house), which is called "drinking with a partner". It means, because there is something left over, it is divided back. This is based on the meaning of this behavior, as the meaning of "food is more than enough" and ran away.
6. "Turn off the lights" when making trouble in the bridal chamber
In front of the bridal chamber, a man who made his way into the new house carried a pair of lanterns painted with "Kirin to send the child", which were called "children's lanterns"; Then a man is holding a pair of porcelain "children's children" plates in the middle; After that, a person took peanuts, melon seeds, olives, copper coins and other things. Finally, there is a person who is ready to learn from the scriptures with musical instruments such as piano, string and flute.
"Children's Lantern" and "Tong Tong" are transformed from similar associations in kind into the meaning of "wishing to have children"; The meaning of "peanut" is the same as that of "Tintin" mentioned above, and it escapes through sound; "Guazi" is a loan from Lenovo, which means "There are many seeds in the melon". Copper coins are the functional significance of borrowing meaning to ward off evil spirits.
7. Carry water after marriage
In the traditional wedding custom in Putian, on the first day after marriage, the bride will go to the well to pick a bucket of water, commonly known as "carrying a cornucopia", because the sound of water at hand is "gathering".
