"Wedding Customs and Etiquette of Fishermen in Lixiahe River"Wedding Customs and Etiquette of Fishermen in Lixiahe River is a folk custom project in the third batch of representative projects of municipal intangible cultural heritage. The wedding customs and etiquette of fishermen in Lixiahe River are represented by Beilonggang Street and Dazonghu Town in its hinterland, which are "pot bottom depression". In ancient times, the two places had a lot of water, rivers and reed marshes. The wide waters and rich aquatic resources provided a large environment for fishermen to produce and live. The unique wedding customs of fishermen are an important part of their lives. Because fishermen have been working on the water for a long time, their wedding customs are different from those on land. On land, they use sedan chairs, while fishermen use boats. Boats are the "houses" of fishermen and also the "seated chairs" on the water for welcoming the bride. Because it is a "walking boat", it must be decorated before the wedding day. "Lights and decorations" are hung on the bow of the boat. The wedding steps will be held on the "wedding" day. As soon as the sun rises, the bride and groom's dresses and cosmetics should be placed in a sieve filled with red and roasted with fire to drive away bad luck. The bride must sit alone in the boat and is not allowed to show her face. The first dish that must be prepared at the banquet is fish stewed with leeks, which means long-lasting and abundant. Every dish must be served from the bow of the boat. The day before the wedding, the boats of the husband's family and the wife's family must be combined, which is called "boat passing boat". The bride walks from the bow of the wife's family boat to the husband's family boat on the pedal with "double happiness" on it. If the bride is menstruating or pregnant, she cannot pass from the bow. Fishermen believe that there is a boat god at the bow, and there is a - in the middle cabin, which cannot be bumped into -. The bride must walk from the stern to the man's boat. The last item in the wedding is to drink the house-sending wine and send the bride and groom to a necessary boat. The time is about 3 o'clock in the evening. The bride goes on the boat to set off firecrackers and untie the rope (the man has to untie the rope seal), wishing the couple to walk from darkness to light, and then pushes the couple's boat away and lets it drift. After the boat floats to the leeward harbor and stops, it is the couple's wedding night.
