Introduction to marriage customs (traditional marriage customs of Daur nationality)

Applicant: Fulaerji District, Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province

The traditional marriage custom of Daur nationality is popular among Daur people in fularjihanbodai village, Heilongjiang Province. For thousands of years, Daur people have made a living by fishing, hunting and herding, and a large number of traditional folk songs have been interspersed with traditional culture such as wedding customs. For example, the song of "marriage promotion" sung during marriage promotion, the song of "missing" sung after blind date, the song of "entrustment" sung by mother when she got married, the song of "toast" and "drunken" sung at wedding banquet and the song of "returning to her mother's home" sung when she returned home express Daur people's romantic and idealistic feelings, which is an epic animation.

The traditional Daur wedding usually goes through marriage promotion: the elder or patriarch (Mo Kun) of the Daur nationality, who is highly respected by the man's family, brings the tobacco and wine needed for marriage promotion as a meeting gift to matchmaker the young people, and the parents of the Daur nationality agree to make a blind date. Betrothal: when betrothing, the matchmaker takes the new son-in-law to the daughter's home and brings the betrothal gift, pig or sheep, tobacco, wine, etc. to be appraised and tested by the daughter's home and relatives. Betrothal gifts and wedding date: after the marriage relationship is confirmed, the man goes to the woman's home to give gifts to the elder, send clothes and livestock for the bride's wedding, and choose an auspicious day to invite relatives and friends to the wedding. Hold a wedding: the bride should dress up before marriage and accept the mother's advice. The bride should be carried by her mother's brother to get on the car, and then by the groom to get off the car after arriving at her mother-in-law's house, "worship heaven and earth", "lift the veil", "sit on the blessing" and "change the tongue". At the beginning of the wedding banquet, relatives and friends presented betrothal gifts and congratulated them by singing and dancing. After the banquet, the bride's wife and sister-in-law will accompany her into the bridal chamber for pre marital sex education and future care for her husband and mother-in-law. Three days later, the wife's sister-in-law and the bride and groom "return home.". The whole process before and after the wedding contains the traditional cultural elements of Daur nationality everywhere.
