2. Running water banquet. In rural areas, weddings, funerals and happy events are not like going to hotels and restaurants to pack a few tables of banquets like city people, but setting up a shed in their own yard, setting up a stove, and inviting chefs from two villages to make their own relatives and friends in the banquet guest house. In the northwest rural areas, this custom has continued since ancient times, regardless of poor families or rich families. After eating a dish, a dish is like running water, so it is called "flowing mat".
Of course, in some areas, there is also a kind of "flowing mat", where chicken, duck and fish are served together, and one group of guests wipes their mouths after eating, and another group of people eat again.
