Hunan, folk custom composition, 5 words.

Liling is an immigrant area. Immigrants from different regions have different manners and customs, and the etiquette of handling red and white weddings is also different, but most towns and villages follow Confucian customs. The funeral ceremony was presided over by Di Sheng, and the sign was to put a red letter in the middle of the gate and write the words "when it is a big event". If it is a wedding, construction and other red events, it will be written as "writing public etiquette." This Wen Gong refers to Zhou Li, which is the root of Confucianism. In the funeral ceremony of Confucianism, things die like life, and the dinner on the first day of burial is the climax of the whole ceremony, which is called "eating rotten meat" The deceased ancestors will be carried out of the house the next morning, so all the relatives should be gathered at the dinner the day before to have the last reunion dinner on the coffin table in front of the mourning hall. This banquet will be meticulous, but there are only nine bowls, which are called "adjacent coffin seats", so nine bowls can't appear in happy occasions.

Liling people like to make wine. Add more words, celebrate the birthday of the family, and make wine when the old man dies; When a baby marries a daughter-in-law, when a daughter marries, she will make wine. When Huaxia is completed, children should also make wine when they go to school; Even if you add a valuable item, you should make a toast to congratulate you. Getting married and starting a house is called a red wedding, and guests wrap the gift money in red paper; Funeral is called a white wedding, and the gift money is wrapped in white paper. To make wine, of course, you need to set up wine mats to entertain guests. There are many rules for this banquet, and the whole process is particularly particular. It is even necessary to hire Mr. Warehouse to take charge of the arrangement, so as not to be rude and attract dissatisfaction from relatives and friends.

At the banquet, the seats of visitors are strictly arranged. According to the degree of intimacy with the host, visitors are roughly divided into three grades. The first-class guests, usually distinguished relatives and close friends, need to write a red invitation card from the host family and invite someone to visit, which is called a treat. Second-class guests are treated, but they don't use invitations, but verbal invitations, mostly ordinary friends, to accompany guests instead of their hosts. Third-class people know how to cook wine and host a banquet, and take the initiative to attend, mainly because neighbors play with them, which is called local guests. The guests were invited to arrive early, and they rushed to the host's house to stay before the official time for making wine. Even when the dinner started immediately, local guests could calmly leave their things behind and rush to take their seats.

Liling banquet has a fixed number of dishes, neither more nor less. Generally, it is ten bowls, but now it has developed a little, becoming four pots and six bowls or four pots and eight bowls. But it must not be three bowls, six bowls and nine bowls.

According to legend, beggars' gangs have a rule: whenever they beg in other people's homes, they usually don't eat at the table, but just stand at the door and wait for alms. If you happen to meet a big family to do a happy event, the host is naturally much more generous than usual, but when you meet someone who has a running banquet, they can sit together. Beggars are actually a means of making a living or a profession at most. In this case, they often set off a short set of firecrackers to show their congratulations or condolences. Of course, he also begged others for this firecracker. As usual, the host family should light firecrackers according to etiquette and receive them as visitors. Especially in the funeral etiquette, the dutiful son needs to kowtow to thank him as usual. When the seats are opened, seats should be arranged. However, even in this situation, after three bowls of food, they will get up and leave. This kind of banquet specially for beggars, not only does it not require the regularity of formal seats, but also does not have to abide by the rules of ten bowls. Only three or six bowls are enough. The place calls the mat with only six bowls of vegetables "beggar's mat", so it is disrespectful for people who know this custom to treat them to dinner with three bowls and six bowls.

Liling Dongxiang Baitutan, Nanqiao and Fuli are located in the junction of eastern Hunan and western Jiangxi. They have been important producing areas of fireworks and firecrackers since ancient times, and the local economy is relatively developed. The Luoxiao Mountain Range, which straddles the border between the two provinces, leaves a gap here, which is the crossroads of east-west traffic and the only channel for the spread of various religions. In addition, Shan Lan is surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery, and various temples are everywhere. This custom of setting up temples has gradually matured and formed some agreed procedures, which have been circulated in this land so far.
