Northeast wed: a girl with a big cigarette bag

in the past, there were almost two “twilights”, one for women to do with needlework and one for dry smoke.

smoking, like needlework, is essential in every daily life.

the big girl who was to be married out of the house was supposed to be the most purty, but most were among the “smoking people”.

this strangeness is enough to illustrate the former smoking habit in the northeast.

tobacco is imported into china, approximately in the middle of ming dynasty.

its main “import” route consists of two routes: one from the philippines to the south-east coast and the other from russia to the north-east.

the land is fertile and well suited for tobacco growth.

the tobacco leaf that is grown here is large and thick and has a strong smoky odour, making it a well-known “kandong smoke”.

tobacco takes root not only in this land, but also in people's lives.

old northeasters, talk about the benefits of smoking.

they say that smoking not only exorcises poverty, but also prevents mosquito bites and even snakes from smelling smoke.

these are undoubtedly important for those who dig and hunt in the mountains.

in addition, smoking has a social role.

even those who meet in strange ways, when they pass a pack of cigarettes on to each other, they add to their feelings of affection.

the first thing to do when you go to the farm house in the north-east is to invite the guests to sit down, and the second thing is to push the pipe to the guests and say, “come, smoke”.

even the song says, “smoking bags are delivered to you in the house of the mother's guest...”, which is an important courtesy.

there are many words from

tobacco smokers and tobacco bags (smoking bags).

most of the bags are made of brass and brass, and, in addition to copper, there are a variety of materials, such as jade, manau, goldstone and plume, and the smoke pack poles are copper and wood, with wood as the best.

in general, men use a relatively short pipe, probably not more than one foot, because they often move outside with convenience.

smoke pots and tea bags are also larger, so don't wear a belt while going out.

women usually smoke at home, used to use a long pipe, and the pot was relatively small, called the “quints”.

the smoke packs are older, flat-turned, young, long, and both are made of flowers, birds, fish, etc.

among them, the cigarette packs are particularly long, usually more than two feet long, and when they are packed, they are often unable to light themselves, or are helped by their peers, or reach themselves into the firebaskets on the stoves and plumes.

they sit on the slabs and need to take something a little further, often without a nest and with a long cigarette bag.

there is also an “extreme life” for an old woman in a smoking bag, who sits on a plaque and spits up to four or five feet away, and who sees this for the first time feels new.

in the north-east, it became a standard image of an old woman with a cigarette bag.

at the northeast wedding, there was also a ritual closely related to smoking, the “smoking gift” of the new daughter-in-law.

that is, the bride meets her parents and friends when she's “sizing” after marriage, and “invited” her to have a cigarette bag filled with cigarettes and a fire set on firesalute.

the old “high-regult” multi-ethnic family, serving the father-in-law's daughter-in-law, had to pack a bag of cigarettes and light her before leaving before returning to her room at night.

the first thing that happened the next morning, when the in-laws were given “hello”, was to pack and light cigarettes, and it was clear that when a girl was “smoking with a cigarette bag, it would still be useful”.

people in the northeast smoke dry smoke, which varies according to the method of processing the leaves, and is divided into red smoke, smoke and yellow smoke.

the red smoke is strong, and more people smoke.

the smoke, commonly known as clams, snorts, but the smokers are addictive.

yellow cigarettes are roasted, yellow and yellow, softer and more smoked by women.

after the 50s and 60s, paper was not as scarce as it used to be, and many of those who used to smoke in their bags had been turning into piped cigarettes, and they were tweaked in the turn.

girls aged three or four, who often play on the plaza, get "dry" when they're young, and the aunts take it, of course, just don't smoke like they used to。
