Martin
In ancient China, raw children and daughter -in -law and passed down were a deep -rooted concept of people. The folk regarded the "none" as the head of "filial piety". Therefore, the folk regards the "birth ceremony" of babies as an extremely important thing, and has formed many related taboos and customs. From the birth of a baby to the age of one, the frequent etiquette activities are diverse, reflecting the importance and care of Chinese people's new life. The first ceremony of the baby after birth was "rewarding". As soon as the child landed, his father would go to the home of Yuezhang, relatives and friends to report the good news. The items carried when "rewarding" are slightly different, but it is nothing more than red eggs (cooked red eggs after cooking), chicken, wine, pastry and the like. At the same time, people can understand the gender of new babies from the items brought by "rewarding". For example: areas where chickens are "rewarded", cocks are used as men, and hens are female; areas with wine "reward" areas, the japs are tied to red lines as men, and jersers are tied to red silk as women. In some areas, firecrackers should be played when they are "rewarding". In front of the father -in -law's house, it shows that it is male. In addition, due to the profoundly influence of the concept of men and women in traditional Chinese ancestors, the customs of some regions are manifested as having a man, and there are no daughters. In eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, after giving birth to a boy, he will send lanterns to the ancestral temple in the Lantern Festival the following year to show Ding Ding. When there is a girl, it is only a mouthful, not adding Ding, nor raising the lantern. "Stepping on", also known as "stepping on the door", refers to the delivery of the baby's birth room intentionally or unintentionally. "Stepping on life" is a kind of fertility custom that is popular in the country. However, the attitude of "stepping on life" in different regions is very different. Some areas believe that "stepping on life" is good for babies, while some areas are harmful. In many areas, the delivery rooms are prohibited from entering, especially men, so they hang items in front of the delivery room to warn. This kind of custom has a long history, and the "Book of Rites · Inner Rules" records: "Children, men set up arcs on the left, women are molting on the right." Meaning: After giving birth to a boy, hanging in front of the door Bow; give birth to a girl, hang a towel in front of the door. There are many similar customs, but the hanging items are different: some are hanging red bubbles and wild ginger leaves; (Male two and women). It is said that the custom of hanging items on the door, in addition to preventing outsiders from entering the delivery room, also has the effect of avoiding evil and disasters. In these areas, if someone inadvertently enters the delivery room, people will think that he or she may step on the mother's milk or bring the evil spirits into the delivery room, which will cause harm to the newborn and must be remedied in some way. For example: Jizhong is called "stepping on life" as "kicking the mouth". If someone accidentally enters the delivery room and kicks off the child's mouth, you must immediately swap your belt with the mother. However, there are also many areas that "stepping on life" as a good thing that can bring auspiciousness to babies. The Tujia family in the western Hunan and the residents of the northern Jiangsu region regarded the first person to the mother of the mother as a "step -by -person" after the birth of the baby. At the same time, they believe that the child's temper and personality will have a lot to do with the temperament of "stepping on a person" and their emotions at that time. Therefore, the child's parents always have to discuss the decision to ask someone to "step on the living" before the child is born, and will be enthusiastic about the "step -by -person" as much as possible. old in old days, the Han people also generally act as the custom of "milk" of newborns. "Open milk" is that the baby eats the first milk. After the baby is born, it needs to be excreted after the fetus is excreted. Before the "milk" ceremony, many areas should be dipped in a few drops of Huanglian soup to feed babies, and they have to say: "Three dynasties eat Huanglian bitter, and eat honey every day in the next day." The soups made of champion cake, wine, fish, sugar, etc. are fed. Singing in the mouth: "Eat meat, grow fat; eat cakes, grow tall; eat wine, Fulushou; eat sugar and fish, there is surplus every day." Finally, let the children take a bite of other breastfeeding Women's milk. If you open milk for a baby boy, please be nurturing a girl; if you open milk for the baby girl, please be able to feed the boy who is nurturing the boy. The most distinctive "washing three" etiquette in the baby's "birth ceremony". "Washing three" is to wash it on the third day of the newborn. This is the first baptism that the baby has received. At the beginning of the ritual of Kirin, the mother must place a red chicken in front of the bed, and then burn incense and pray, saying that "worship the bed in bed". "Washing three" water is made with Chinese herbal medicines such as locust branches, wormwood leaves, peppercorns and other Chinese herbs. There are often red eggs and gold and silver accessories in the bathtubs. "Washing Three" is generally implemented by picking up the biological mother -in -law or the grandmother's grandmother. Washing gaps and knowing the state. "At this time, relatives and friends who came to congratulate them must also speak some auspicious wishes, while being put into the pot as fruits, gold and silver ornaments brought by gifts, saying" add pots ". After the washing, use eggs or Ai Tuan to wipe the forehead for children. It is said that it can play a role in avoiding sores; rubbing the whole body of the child with gold and silver jewelry, it is said that it can avoid the evil town. After the firing is finished, after wearing a hat, the mother -in -law must use the scales to gently press the child's body, which is called "pressing a pound", which symbolizes that the children can grow up when they grow up. You also need to use the shallots to light your body, thinking that this can make it smart in the future. Then, the children's hands and feet are locked symbolically, and metaphor refers to the in the future. The full monthly gift is another great fertility etiquette. On the day of the full moon of the baby, parents have to post invitations to do "full moon wine", also called "Miyue Wine". Friends and relatives bring gifts to congratulate them. The gifts are generally gold and silver jewelry, small abacus, small Ruyi, etc., and there are also clothes and food. At the same time, people generally write auspicious and blessings such as "long life" and "golden jade Mantang" on gifts. A major thing for Manchu Li is to shave their heads for children, called "felling hair". This is the first time for babies. In ancient times, people believed that "the body of the body and the skin was suffering", and the skin of the children was still tender and it was easy to damage. Therefore, the family attaches great importance to this matter. The invited craftsmanship often applies the chewy tea on the child's head first, saying that it can be exempted from sores. When shaving, it usually does not shave the hair completely, leaving a small piece on the forehead, called "smart hair", and a small cricket behind the head, called "hundreds of years old". The shaved tire hair will not be thrown away casually. It should be wrapped in red paper, or the tire hair is rubbed into a spherical shape, string it with a red line, and hanging on the bedside to the evil. Nowadays, many people have made the fetus into a tire pen, which is reserved as a memorial. After the shaving, a relative (most of the uncle) hugged the baby out of the "see the world" with an umbrella, and must pass through a small bridge. When you meet a pedestrian, you must say to the children, "Do you know? Don't be afraid." Thinking of this can make children act courageous, unobstructed in the future.

"Baijiayou" is a sewing of fragmented cloth heads from various colors discussed. Although it does not necessarily come from Baijia, the more the number of families of the cling cloth are better. Generally, the purple head is the most difficult to claim. Because of the same sound of "purple" and "Zi", no one wants to give "Zi" to others. "Baijia Lock", also known as "long -lived lock", is originally intended to collect hundreds of gold and silver, or sent by many collectives. The form of "Baijialuo" is diverse. The easiest thing is to string copper coins with red lines. The more common is the style of locking with gold and silver, and then the gold and silver chains are stringed.
