downtown: the equivalent of two yuan to marry a daughter-in-law. A couple who are in the urban area of Ji'nan have similar family conditions. When the two people held a wedding ceremony, the man prepared a bride price of 10001 yuan for the woman, and the parents gave the dowry 9999 yuan dowry. "If from an economic point of view, wouldn't it take 2 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law?" Liu Yongbo thinks, but this is just an indication that the public is open and the men and women are equal. The reason why the idea of marrying in the city is enlightened is related to the present employment situation and the diversification of the income structure, and the large amount of housing loans now need the joint burden of both new and new people, and more equal in the family status.
Zhangqiu: the relatives of the "worship ceremony" were all paid in some villages in Zhangqiu. In addition to the betrothal forms in the city, a unique form of betrothal gift was also popular, which can be popularly understood as the "change of money" in the urban area. "On the wedding day, the bride needs to change her voice and call her aunt seven times at the scene." Liu Yongbo said that the main parents, including parents, cousins and cousins, need to prepare red packets to the bride. The number of money varies between 20-300 yuan and, of course, according to the conditions of the man's family.
Shanghe: the new son-in-law back door to beat
in sharp contrast to Zhangqiu is Shanghe's "Ying Lang rite". This kind of regional folk custom stipulates that the son-in-law of the return door should be "served with sticks", and the son-in-law of Shanghe "Ying Lang Li" can deeply understand what is "playing is a kiss, scolding is love".
according to local customs, 3 to 7 days after marriage, the bridegroom takes his wife back to his mother's home, that is, to return to the door. "When we enter the door or just eat, the son-in-law needs to be beaten." Liu Yongbo said that most of the important relatives of the maiden family beat the son-in-law. The heavier they beat, the thicker the bridegroom's red envelope was.
Calendar City: Symbolism follows the "one prison" approach
2000 ago, some villages in Licheng city were generally unable to afford the whole cattle, pigs and sheep. Therefore, most of the meat was sent to the woman's home by the slaughtered meat. "It is still prevalent in some small villages, but it has already been diluted." Liu Yongbo said it was only symbolic on the wedding day.
