Different regions and cultures had different customs: 1. In the Oroqen marriage custom, when the boy was 15 - 16 years old and the girl was 14 - 15 years old, the family would start to arrange the marriage. After the marriage proposal was successful, the matchmaker and the man's mother brought wine and wild boar meat to the woman's house. The man kowtowed to the woman's elders (but not to his parents-in-law). 2. In ancient times, there were processes such as sending the betrothal letter, sending the betrothal gift, checking the date, sending the date, engagement, and welcoming the bride. In some areas, the process of recognizing the bride, engagement, and sending the date together was still retained. Finally, the wedding ceremony was held. The man and the woman invited their relatives and friends to a hotel for a grand wedding. 3. "Family identification": For example, Xie Kefeng's family would wear red flowers to entertain guests when they recognized their relatives. They would be accompanied by fireworks, tears, crying, and laughter. Families who successfully found their relatives often received more attention. Different families would choose different ways to celebrate according to their own circumstances. 4. "Accepting relatives" in Northern Fujian: After a man remarried, the newly married woman would choose an auspicious day to meet the original wife's family about a month after she arrived home. First, inform the other party of the date. After the other party approved, they would bring gifts to the door. The gifts were usually two catties of rock sugar, two packets of pastries, and a piece of cloth for each of the parents (if there were grandparents, one more). These gifts had to be pasted with red paper. On the auspicious day, the husband and wife first lit incense on the altar table in the hall to inform the deceased. Then, they went to the other party's house. The other party's family welcomed them. When they arrived home, the master first lit incense on the altar table in the hall to inform the ancestors. Then, he went to the gate to light incense and invited the newly recognized daughter to sit on the chair in the hall. He ordered his mother to bring tea for her. 5. <strong></strong><strong><strong> In some rural areas in South China and Southwest China, the custom of recognizing parents (sending names)</strong>: When children are difficult to take care of and often fall ill, they will be recognized by their parents to help them through difficulties. The process of recognizing relatives was called "sending a name." After recognizing relatives, the male side was called the father, and the female side was called the mother (also known as the father and mother). There were many ways to recognize each other, such as whether the zodiac attributes of the two sides matched or directly recognize each other. Among them, direct recognition was more common, such as recognizing the craftsman and savior of the family as the father and mother. This custom was similar to that of the northern villages.
