People are Xi to call marriage a ceremony. In the eyes of the villagers, the absence of ceremonies cannot be counted as marriage. The ceremony is the most sacred and solemn ritual in life, which is generally divided into marrying, worshipping, playing the wedding window, asking for sugar, eating and stewing dishes, and saying the order. With the development of society, etiquette is constantly changing, and some links have disappeared. In the past, the number of marriages was generally three to four, and when the marriage was to go, the odd number, and the new daughter-in-law became a double number, which means that good things come in pairs. Influenced by the customs of the Mongolian people, the number of relatives is not limited to four, because Mongolians send relatives regardless of men, women and children, and those who come to see the excitement, work in the fields, and herd sheep can participate in the team of sending relatives.
seats", sit in order of seniority, age, from top to bottom, and seniority. Among those who are related by blood, those who are younger and higher should also sit at the tableThe youngest person is responsible for serving tea and water, pouring wine and cigarettes to the attendees. At that time, life was not rich, and the gift money was not much, only three or two yuan, which was basically affordable. The older elders have to call for a meal if they don't move, and there are also those who only keep accounts and don't take money. If there are elderly people in the family or there is something to do, after the table, the host will always bring some food and drink on the table. As a matter of etiquette, after the feast, you have to call the helper to have another meal. On the day of the feast, there is always a few beggars who are lazy and lazy, and the host is not stingy, so he gives a big bag of food and goes back to eat beautifully for a few days. At night, the links such as talking about the order, eating and stewing plates, and listening to the room are carried out, and the haunted room is more subtle at that time, and the newcomers are easy to accept. There are also opera troupes who are invited to perform late, and the simplest ones have to invite two singers to help the fun. The means of transportation for marriage have also changed, from the previous mule sedan chair to two cake carts and large rubber carts, and it takes two days to reach the destination after a long journey. 
At present, most of the rural people's business banquets are held in hotels in towns and cities. Although there is a magnificent wedding hall, it has lost the strong human touch and fireworks of the former rural "seats". As a result, many customs and cultures have gradually disappeared, and table manners have been diluted. Even if it is run at home in the countryside, there is a special etiquette company to undertake it, although the "one-stop" service is very in place, and it is prosperous!But I still miss my hometown, when the steaming feast at home was at that time.
