Is there a dowry for the customs of marriage in Dafeng City? How much is the bride price for ordinary people?

marriage is divided into two days. The first day is a dowry, and the woman pulls the dowry to the man's house or new house. At the same time, invite relatives and friends. Have a dinner party. No wedding candy. That night, the groom-to-be wants to find someone to take responsibility for the mat. Is that someone sleeps with the groom. This person is exquisite and must be the groom's brother-in-law or brother-in-law. Direct or uncle's, if there is really no, you can only watch it. If there is no more, you can only twist a bag of rice and put it on the bed.

the next day, the wedding day, is the auspicious day of the zodiac. The man is going to the woman's house to meet his relatives. This is also particular, such as when new people will enter the house. Of course, this is superstition. But this is the custom. You can find Mr. Feng Shui to do the math. Get the car ready and then go to the woman's house. Go with a matchmaker (if you don't have one, you don't want it, but you'd better find a matchmaker symbolically) and the best man, which is not called in the countryside. Basically, they are brothers of the same generation, and some are looking for good friends. It is best to drink and eat. You can also have one or two elders, such as uncles or uncles. Set off firecrackers on the road.

At the woman's house, the woman is closed, and the groom inserts money (gift money) through the door. Then open the door and go in. As the saying goes, open the door. Then have tea (snacks and the like) at the woman's house. There is a detail here, which is known to the wedding car master who usually picks up the bride, that is, to press on the mat at the door. I don't understand what's going on. The woman, for example, is carried in a wedding car. But it seems to be rare now. I remember this when I was a child.

on the way back, firecrackers will continue on the road.

Go back to the man's house at the appointed time. This time is the most important. The man must drive all his relatives and friends out of the house. There can only be family members (parents, grandparents) in the house, and some people even close the door. This is also necessary, and you can't guarantee that any ignorant child will jump in. Country people are very particular about these things.

after these instructions are made, the new people are ushered in. At this time, the bride and groom are still in the car. The best man and so on must get off the bus first and set off firecrackers. Burn incense in the room. Set the tea. After everything is in order, the bride and groom get off.

What needs to be explained here is that there is such a stress that the bride must enter the house with her left foot first, and it is best to take a big step. Because in the past, there was a threshold at the gate of the house, which was called "five poles" in the local dialect. If the bride touches the threshold or something, it will be considered unlucky.

go straight to the new house. There is such a custom in the countryside called pounding red eggs. The window of the new house is covered with red paper. When the bride and groom enter the room, they will signal the people outside. At this time, you can pound the red eggs. The man who pounded the red egg must be a boy. Preferably the younger generation. The candidates are from the hall to the table. But now there are some young people, and there is no such junior, so they are replaced by peers. This is not particular now. The only condition is that it must be a boy. The so-called smashing red eggs is that children are outside the window, taking a bamboo pole with a plastic bag tied to the top to pierce the red paper covered in the window. You have to say "pound quickly and raise (live) quickly". Hehe, that's a bit rude. Then, the groom opened the window and put the red eggs in the bag in front of the pole. It can be four, six, and there are usually not eight. Must be an even number. At the same time, there are wedding candy, two boxes or four boxes or six boxes, which must also be even numbers. Have tea in the room.

of course, you can skip tea and do something else, and no one knows.

After all this is done, we will eat cakes with our parents and grandparents. All this is also "closed".

then, relatives and friends come in to eat sugar rice and give Bao Xi (red envelopes). White rice with sugar is called sugar rice and all relatives should eat it. The rule is, you can't leave a bowl empty. It means you must leave money in the bowl. No wonder you keep saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The big red envelope given by the elders should be 2 per person at present. Of course, you have money, you like to show off, and at the same time you are not afraid of others' "regard sb with special respect". You can give one thousand or ten thousand, whatever you want. Just for the sake of peers, 1 yuan or 2 yuan will do. The younger generation should also mean something, but the younger generation has money to take, and the newcomer must give the younger generation a red envelope. This is the rule.

After the ceremony, the bride and groom get on the bus and go back to their parents' home. Mother's family held a luncheon. There is no need to say this. During the dinner, I was happy with smoke and candy. A toast.

go back to the man's house in the afternoon. It's not as grand as it was in the morning. I'm basically waiting for dinner. Dinner can be hosted at home or in a restaurant. But now the country is still used to being at home.

here's a noteworthy arrangement of seats. Now we usually have a big round table for 1 people. However, even if you have 5 tables, the table where the newcomers eat must be a square table. This is particular. It must be placed in the northeast corner of the main hall. Seating arrangements, seats, the oldest, that is, the one in the northeast corner, must be the groom's uncle. My uncle is the oldest. Of course, if the house is not facing south, or in a hotel, it is opposite the door, and the door is south. Turn it around.

During the dinner, the bride and groom send out happy smoke and candy. At the same time, a toast.

after the dinner, I almost got married. Of course, there are many interesting things in the country. For example, we should play a trick on the bride's father-in-law during the dinner. There are many ways to make this trouble, and they are not detailed. Some fathers-in-law then played the role of missing at the dinner party. It was fun.

This night, the bride and groom slept together for the first time. Do what you want. Don't be afraid anymore.

and the next morning, the bride must serve tea to her in-laws. It's the first time, so pay attention to it.

That's basically it. Weddings in the countryside are such a custom. Of course, there are other things. For example, the bride is not allowed to visit other people's homes within one month from the date of her wedding, and some people belonging to the family can't enter the new house within one month, and so on. The former is not so valued now. A few days after marriage, the man's uncle and aunt can hold a banquet to receive the couple. Newcomers must prepare "gifts" (gifts for each other when going to dinner).

One more thing, newcomers can't look in their own mirrors for one month, including the rearview mirrors in their rooms and cars. Cover them all with red paper. The term is one month.
