History and culture

Mashuang Township, with simple customs and honest people, is known as the "elegant country". Ma Shuang is the hometown of the sages. It is simple and peaceful, diligent in living and thrifty in food and clothing.

Gramineous seed

In the old days, Ma Shuang was used to "point the seeds of grass" before and after Jingzhe. Sowing Zaohe, commonly known as "Dian Jing zhe", means that farmers prepare incense candles and paper money in the early morning to offer sacrifices to Tian Luo Bodhisattva and pray for a good harvest.

Makita

In the old days, when farmers were planting fields, they had to ask the experts to "open the seedling tray", that is, the skilled master was the first one to go down to the fields and open the fields, and then ranked according to the technical level. After dilling, we should make "dilling wine", which is commonly known as "killing geese in dilling field, turning grass into grass". We think that if we treat people generously, the harvest will be good.

Try the new: after the early rice begins to sickle and harvest, eating new rice is called try the new. In the old days, every household tastes the new day, buying pork, killing ducks, grinding new rice fruit, lighting candles to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Washing sickle

After the autumn harvest, the old farmers should prepare a banquet, please help the relatives and friends to eat, commonly known as "Xihe sickle". Most owners fry glutinous rice glutinous rice and brew good rice wine. Neiliang and Hedong are still very happy to send their relatives and friends the rice and fruit of Machi and Bajiao, which means the end of the whole year's farming and a good harvest for every family.

papermaking

In the past, in the Xiaoman period, the troughs in the paper shed and Baotou had to kill dogs or other animals and birds to sacrifice to the mountain. On the first and the 15th of the first day of the lunar new year, they "sacrificed their teeth.". In the mountains, no one can break the ban. If one person breaks the ban, everyone will have to stop work. The violator will be punished to buy fish, kill geese and ask for wine to eliminate the disaster. Paper shed workers should not wipe their buttocks with paper. When cutting bamboo, put the knots on the bamboo stump through. When pouring bamboo, the surface should be downward instead of upward.

hunting

Once upon a time, hunters wore straw hats in winter and summer, with scabbard around their waist and a knife inserted into their waist. If you get the prey, you will get double for the spear, and you can get one for everyone present. Before hunting, we should pay attention to the day and direction, and avoid "breaking the day" and "empty day".

Sanding

Digging tungsten sand up the mountain is commonly known as sanding or dumping. In the past, we had to choose an auspicious day and build a shed near the sand. When the construction starts, two short bamboo tubes should be inserted in front of the shed door, incense candles should be lit, three sacrificial animals (fish, pig and duck) should be set on the ground, a black dog should be killed to get blood to sacrifice to the God of heaven, and if you don't go to work on the first and the fifteenth day of the first lunar new year, you should also make a tooth sacrifice. When you go to the gate of Longzi, you need to smoke to ward off evil spirits before you can enter. Don't whistle, shout and eat half cooked rice when you're looking for ore, so as to avoid evil.

be engaged

It is commonly known as "Xiapin" or "xiacha". After the marriage, the man will choose the date and send the three animals, cakes and eggs to the woman's house with a five color carrying box. On that day, the woman's house will invite her relatives to eat the wedding wine and share the wedding gifts according to their relatives. When they get married, their relatives will double their gifts. You can't change it after engagement. You can exchange with each other in case of red and white events.

marriage

That is, marriage, commonly known as the "door.". In advance, the man's family must choose the date of auspicious omen, write a red letter, and inform the woman's family of the date. If the woman has no objection, the date of marriage will be decided. On the day of "passing by", the man's family should send the "five Animal gifts" to the woman's family the day before, and the family members and friends of the woman's family should prepare their gifts in the morning of the wedding day to celebrate the wedding. At noon, the man's family will pick up the bride's dowry from the sedan chair (or horse in the old days, or car now). The bride will get on the sedan chair (horse or car) surrounded by the bridesmaids to get married. When they meet, a man carries two bamboo shoots tied together, with big red cloth on the top.
