However, with the changes of the times, only rural areas in China still retain these rules.
For example, the rules of the rural white banquet we talked about today.
I believe that people living in rural areas know that banquets popular in rural areas are red and white. Red events generally refer to good things such as villagers getting married and having children, and generally invite relatives, friends and neighbors nearby to help. This day is also a lively day.
At the same time, so do white things. Although white things are not lively, white things are valued by villagers, and sometimes they are even heavier than red things. Why? There is a saying: what dishes can't appear on the table in the countryside? We still need to know.
First, braised pork
I believe everyone has seen many white things and participated in many. White things are generally a sense of ceremony prepared by family members for the deceased when someone dies. Of course, this is just an expression of concern.
In rural areas, some white things are more grand than red things. Why?
In fact, it is also because this country has the psychology of keeping up with the joneses. People think that white things can reflect a person's filial piety, so everyone in the family will show their best things and good things.
For example, big fish and big meat, but some dishes can't be served, such as braised pork.
Braised pork can't be served on the table, because there is a red letter in this dish, so people who like to drill words will think that red represents prosperity. Someone died at home, so braised pork can't be served. Isn't it worth celebrating?
Second, dog meat.
Followed by dog meat, because dogs are our most loyal friends. With the development of society, people's living standards have been continuously improved, and people's requirements for life have also changed.
Many people also regard dogs as so important that they don't eat their meat, but treat them as bosom friends.
In addition to the above reasons, when China's economy was not very good in the past, people wanted to eat meat at that time, so they had to wait for the Chinese New Year or the holidays.
However, it is easier and more convenient to eat meat now. Now our country has the ability to let every household have meat to eat.
So people are becoming more and more picky about meat.
Dog meat is dirty in the eyes of many rural people, because the diet of rural dogs is relatively miscellaneous, which is also the reason why rural people think dog meat is dirty.
Therefore, dog meat can't be eaten in rural areas of China. In their view, dog meat has no noodles.
Third, tofu
In addition, tofu can't be served when it's a good thing, because tofu means poverty, and some people will understand that the deceased must have said poverty before he left, so the descendants left behind will not be rich, but tofu can be served in other places, because fried tofu generally grows up and is good, which means it will bring good luck to the family.
Fourth, the dishes can't be uniform.
When cooking cabbage, you need to pay attention. We can't just serve hard. Also pay attention to the types of dishes, such as how many dishes need to be prepared. It can't be said that filial piety is outstanding, and the dishes are even. We all say yes-men, red things can be said to be yes-men, but white things can't. If there are even numbers on the white table, people will laugh.
Moreover, in general, this situation will be mistaken by others for leaving one and leaving another, which has a very bad influence. What dishes are served is also very particular. For example, if you can't serve dishes with claws, chicken feet and duck feet, it will scare children, so you should pay attention.
Summary:
The countryside attaches great importance to this kind of white wedding, because in their view, life is so short that every banquet should be done well.
Therefore, we also need to know more about these rules.
Only in this way can we attend this white wedding next time, and we won't say that there are things that make the host unhappy.
Take today's liquor table as an example. Besides the food on the wine table, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds when eating banquets.
