1, the bride crossed the river and the sailor came back.
Longsheng Autonomous County in northern Guangxi is an alpine mountain area. There are mountains, forests and rivers with eighteen twists and turns. Originally, there were only forty or fifty miles of mountain roads, but it was necessary to take five or six trips to the river and cross three or four roads. So when you get married, in order to ensure the safety of the bride, you should ask someone to carry it when crossing the river. People who carry the bride are called "sailors", and most of them are unmarried young men who are squatting. When the bride crossed the river, the gun rang three times and the horn sounded. The sailor immediately put his hands on his knees, bent down and asked the veiled bride to put her knees on her back, clasped her shoulders with her hands and leaned forward. The "sailor" immediately backhand to the lower back to hold the bride's little feet, and when ready, he got up and stepped into the water to cross the river (or cross the river). As taboo as the posture of adults when children stretch their legs. Bride-carrying is especially polite, and there must be no rudeness in action, let alone ridicule. Therefore, the "sailors" who carry the bride are mostly the best in moral character. When crossing the river, "Ying Niang" (held by unmarried young women) holds an umbrella for the bride to shade the sun (no matter whether the weather is good or bad), which means protecting the bride's happiness. After the whole team crossed the river and went ashore, the clever "Ying Niang" put the umbrella very low to prevent others from "peeking" at the veiled bride. At this time, the cannon exploded, firecrackers exploded, the band played cheerful songs, and the shore was crowded with people watching.
It is not difficult to marry a song.
Xu Ge is a traditional large-scale folk custom of Zhuang nationality in Guangxi. Every autumn, winter and Spring Festival, young people should wear festive costumes, choose their own singing opponents and find their beloved couples in the local traditional song fair days. As usual, the young man must ask the girl to sing first, and she will not pick up the song until she is satisfied. Young men with stupid mouths and cheekbones, even girls who have been singing for three or four hours, don't answer, just run away in confusion to make way for more talented young people. After the woman answered, the two sides, surrounded by their companions, sang The Song of First Love, Hymns, Inquiries, Dishes and Love according to the procedures of the fair. When they are full of affection, they sing intimate songs, gift songs and give gifts to each other. At this time, the lovers left their companions and both strolled into the jungle among the flowers. When they were about to break up, the two sang a farewell song and agreed to meet next time, which made them reluctantly break up. Many couples have made lifelong commitments. However, there are also many "risks" in this duet program, especially songs, in which women ask men to answer, both as far away as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and as close as the present world; From the sun, the moon and the stars to the mountains and rivers; Everything about agriculture, seasonal flowers and fruits. , is all-encompassing. Its extensive content and sensitive singing skills often make the experts who come here stunned and fascinated.
3. Sing the song of accompanying the building before getting married.
In the Zhuang and Yao areas around Jiujiahetou, Lianhua Township, Gongcheng County, Guangxi, every time a girl gets married, she has the habit of singing the song of accompanying the building. A few days before the girl got married, the host invited the village girl and cousin to accompany her for three days and five days. In the process of accompanying the building, in addition to helping the bride do some needlework, the more important task is to sing "the song of accompanying the building". On the one hand, celebrate a happy marriage for the bride and sing a happy future; On the other hand, it can be greatly lively, and the main family feels particularly honored.
Whenever the news of "Song of Accompanying the Building" spreads, the descendants of neighboring villages try to finish the work for half a day, or finish the work for the next day overnight, wash their feet, put on new clothes, put on white hats and white beef belly towels, and come from all directions to climb mountains and wade, and come to the village where they got married. As soon as everyone arrived in the village, they gathered around the boudoir in small groups, let go of their throats and sang the most beautiful folk songs. Sometimes there are as many as twenty or thirty people, one or two hundred people, making it sound like frogs croaking on a summer night, and everyone is vying to sing with the girl accompanying the building.
