Rushan is a compatible place of folk culture in Haiyang, Wendeng and Muping, with a broad mass base and rich cultural heritage. Rushan's wedding customs have a long history, and it is in this festive and peaceful atmosphere that Rushan people have completed their happy wedding ceremony from generation to generation. Regardless of free love or matchmaking, young men and women should perform the ceremony of discussing marriage, blind date, engagement, looking forward to home, choosing a good date, giving bride price and carrying boxes before marriage. Weddings generally include "getting married", "unpacking" and "expecting" trilogy.

"get married" The night before, the groom went to meet the bride. The moment you leave home, it's called "sitting in a sedan chair". The groom can only enter the bride's house after sunset, and the Yue family holds a wedding banquet to entertain the son-in-law and relatives and friends. After breakfast the next day, the bride and groom exchange tokens and then set off immediately. The mother of the bride didn't come out to see her daughter off. This is sitting on the kang praying for my daughter. The moment the bride leaves the boudoir is called getting on the sedan chair. After getting on the sedan chair, the bride can only look forward, but not back, which means that the marriage will not look back for a long time. When the groom meets an acquaintance on the road, he can only nod his head and not talk, so as not to "change" the homophonic words. When the bride and her party arrived at their parents-in-law's house, firecrackers exploded and guests were seated, creating a festive atmosphere. At night, there is a custom of making trouble in the bridal chamber, and the villagers try their best to tease the bride and groom.

Open the box. On the third day of the wedding, the bride's father, brother and younger brother went to the man's house and opened the boxes they had moved before marriage. That is, the husband's family can distribute the wedding cake brought by the woman to relatives and neighbors. The banquet on this day is smaller than that on the wedding day. There is also a simplified unpacking procedure, that is, on the wedding day, the person who unpacks the box will come with the bride and groom, which is called "Red Day".

"I have been looking for it for a long time." Because it is the fourth day of a happy event, it is also called "Hope for Four Happiness". Newlyweds should go to the bride's house together to visit her parents and relatives. The bride and groom should show their determination to stick to this marriage forever. This is just a formality, and few newcomers can speak according to the rules.

The marriage custom of Rushan is like an encyclopedia, which comprehensively reflects the social history and folk customs of Rushan in the form of etiquette and artistic means, promotes the communication between people and stimulates people's enthusiasm for creating a better future.
