Wedding customs in Chongqing;
1, Chongqing marriage custom-Tujia people's "crying marriage"
In ancient times, Tujia women had the custom of "crying for marriage" when they got married. In order to prepare for crying marriage, girls should learn to cry marriage if they are a little more sensible. Watch others cry, learn to cry like others, and cry with them when you are very young. When you get married in tears, you have to say something in your mouth. This is called "giving a wedding banquet". When crying to get married, girls from relatives and friends in the same village will come to cry with them. Now the times are changing, and everyone yearns for a free and happy life, hoping that love and marriage can make their own decisions. Tujia girls should not follow the old marriage customs when they get married. Although some remote shanzhai still keep this custom, they are unwilling to cry for marriage. Even if she cries, she often cries three or five times, which makes the bride laugh. This is also a kind of "crying".

2. Wedding custom in Chongqing-making a bridal chamber.
China has had the custom of having a bridal chamber since ancient times, but in Chongqing, except for young people who are now playing with new people, some old customs of having a bridal chamber have gradually declined, but this wedding custom still exists in some places in Chongqing, such as Tongliang County, Chongqing. There is a custom of bridal chamber, which can not only make the bride and groom play badly, but also make the groom's parents suffer from being played by some relatives and friends, being carried around and disfigured. Even if some new parents are old, they cannot escape the fate of being punished. It is not until the bride and groom are finished that they come out to drink cigarettes and give red envelopes with their elders before they can stop.
