The marriage customs of the Daur people are different

After young men and women are engaged, the man will present horses, cattle, sheep and wine to the woman's family, which is called a "gift". On this day, the girl will hide and not see her fiance. One month before the wedding, the man will also send a small gift, mainly clothes and supplies. Only then can the unmarried couple meet and eat "Larry" and noodles together. Marriage requires a banquet, and the food and dishes must be rich. Especially during the wedding, if you meet pedestrians along the way, whether you know each other or not, you can get a share of wine, meat and snacks. After the wedding ceremony, the host treats guests with high-quality dishes such as fried Anan nose and hand-made meat.

The Daur wedding ceremony is very grand. From the matchmaker to the woman kowtowing to the betrothal, the man has to salute the woman twice. The first time was a big gift. The elders of the man brought gifts and fiancé and went to the woman's house. On the other hand, the door was closed, and the elderly guarding the outside asked the giver questions until they were satisfied. The two sides held a banquet that night, and the girl would hide and not meet her fiance. The second time was one month before the marriage, and the two parties discussed the wedding date. This time the father-in-law will ask the girl out to have dinner with her fiance.

On the wedding day, the wedding car to see off must arrive before sunset. The man will send someone to welcome him halfway and toast the guests. Then one person went back to report, and the other accompanied him slowly.

When arriving at the man's house, the wedding car must head east. The next day, when sending relatives back, the man would also host a banquet in honor of them. After sending relatives away, the groom would also chase after them with wine and make a toast.

The Daur people hate divorce very much and generally rarely get divorced. There is a saying among Daur people: "Where you write a divorce certificate, grass does not grow for three years." Divorced men are ridiculed by everyone. If you really want to divorce, a divorce ceremony must be held. This ceremony is also very solemn. The husband must kneel on the ground and let his wife step over his neck. A white cloth was also wrapped around the chimney of the man's house to symbolize that her husband had died.

Red media matchups Qin and Jin

When proposing marriage between young Daur men and women, matchmakers must come forward, as should free lovers. Usually, the man invites a highly respected elderly person to dress neatly, hang a new red cloth strip on the right side of the hat, and carry gifts to propose marriage. If the woman is interested, she will agree with the matchmaker on a date for the next meeting. When the matchmaker comes for the second time, if the woman expresses full agreement, she will bring up some clothes, furniture, etc. needed for the wedding, and the marriage will be settled. After young men and women are engaged, the man will present horses, cattle, sheep and wine to the woman's family, which is called a "gift." On this day, the girl will hide and not see her fiance. One month before the wedding, the man will also send a small gift, mainly clothing. Only then can the unmarried couple meet and eat "Larry" and noodles together. Marriage requires a banquet, and the food and dishes must be rich. Especially during the wedding, if you meet pedestrians along the way, whether you know each other or not, you can get a share of wine, meat and snacks. After the wedding ceremony, the host treats guests with high-quality dishes such as fried Anan nose and hand-made meat.

Chante banquet to identify relatives

The wedding day is selected by the man to kill chickens and divination. On the same day, the girl's parents and the introducer sent the girl to the groom's house. The groom's house prepares wine and meat reception. After arriving, the bride and the groom will hold a knife and kill a chicken to see how good or bad the chicken liver pattern shows. If it is unlucky, the bride and groom will each kill another chicken until the chicken liver appears with auspicious elephant patterns.

Then, the bride and groom held a drinking ceremony. Each person placed a bowl of wine in front of him, wiped the edge of the bowl with butter, and took a sip first, and then drank a cup of wine. The bride and groom finished drinking wine and also jointly hosted the introducer and all the guests. Then the guests from both sides, as well as relatives and friends who came to congratulate them, continued to drink, sing and dance until all night long.

Songs fill the road to welcome relatives

On the wedding day, the groom did not pick up the bride, but the woman organized people to send off the girl. The bride was covered with a red shawl and was accompanied by five to seven young men and women. They set off by car from the woman's house in the morning and loaded with dowry and accompanying gifts. Everyone played the piano and sang, and laughter filled the way.

Stealing cups, stealing discs, and playing the groom

When sending relatives to accompany the bride to the man's home, the groom's family takes special care of the honored guests who sent off the bride. Before entering the house, they first toast the "entrance cup" and then set up the "welcome wine" after entering the house. It can be said to be meticulous and avoid neglect. Despite this, the bride's best man "Hua Da" still raised his nose and eyes, while the bride's younger brothers "Kutulu" stole wine glasses, chopsticks, dishes, etc. and hid them on their bodies while eating and drinking to tease the groom and accompanying guests.

Because the Daur people believe that wine glasses are buckets for measuring grain prepared for the bride and groom, and dishes are baskets for holding grain. They are all indispensable daily necessities. Therefore, the man behind the table realized that something was missing and began to search. If found, the person who "steals" the glass will be fined to drink one cup, and the person who "steals" the bowl will drink one bowl. The next day, when he was sending his relatives off for a horse ride back, he also waited for an opportunity to "steal" a few wine glasses and dishes, and waited until the groom came after him with wine before he was willing to return them.

According to the marriage customs of the Daur people, after getting engaged, the man must choose an auspicious day to pay the gift, that is, he will present a "Chaente"(betrothal gift). Chante includes pigs, wine, cakes, etc., and is generally delivered to the woman's home by the fiancé and his elders accompanying guests. On this day, the woman's family will hold a Chaunt banquet to entertain distinguished guests and members of the same family.

At the Chante banquet, the fiancé had to toast and kowtow to the woman's parents and other elders to formally recognize her relatives. The old people gave gifts such as money and money to their future grandfathers. At the banquet, both sides will also exchange traditional greetings to each other.

The man's escort first said: "Your young lady and my husband are married thousands of miles away. We chose this auspicious day to present our meager Zainte. The young pines and cypresses in the mountains are now tall and strong, and the handsome and beautiful boys and girls have all grown up and look about the same age. In order to congratulate the two families on the beautiful marriage, I filled the wedding wine and held up it. Please accept this pious intention for all the compatriots and relatives who come."

The woman's father took the toast and sang back: "For the sake of our marriage and harmony, the long way and the long way have made you suffer. I ask you to explain the Chante project to the relatives on my behalf..." The beautiful and interesting greetings made the festive Chante banquet more joyful and lively.
