In recent years, a new marriage form of "two marriages" has arisen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it has also been widely accepted by many young people. The only child is the label of the generation of 8191. Now, when the post-81s and post-91s have moved to another stage of their lives, what does this special marriage form mean and what kind of characteristics it has? What do you mean by two-headed marriage?
Two-headed marriage is neither a man marrying a woman nor a woman marrying a man by adoption. After the young couple get married, they still keep a certain "stickiness" with both family of origin, and usually live in different houses. They usually have two children. The first one takes the father's surname and is mainly raised by the man. The second one takes the mother's surname and is mainly raised by the woman. In a two-married family, there is no concept of grandparents, and children call their parents grandparents. Where is the custom of "two-headed marriage"

Custom 1: Kill the Year Pig
One month or half before the Chinese New Year, people in Zhejiang will bring their own fat pigs for slaughter, and then invite relatives, friends and neighbors to have a lively pig-killing meal to share the sumptuous pork feast and the joy of the upcoming Chinese New Year!
Custom 2: Bacon
Bacon is a special food in Zhejiang. After killing Nian pig, the fresh meat is put in a salting tank, marinated for a few days and then taken out. Then, the shelf is set up and smoked with firewood. After a period of time, the meat will become bright and fragrant.
Bacon can be stored for a long time, as if it can prolong the joy of the New Year. Low temperature and dry environment are suitable for preserved bacon. Generally, the shelf life is 3-6 months, and the shelf life varies according to the water content, ambient temperature and humidity of the bacon itself. If it exceeds 6 months, the quality will be difficult to guarantee.
custom 3: eat rice cakes by making rice cakes
in many places in Zhejiang, there is a saying, "Twenty-eight, making rice cakes". When the year is nearly thirty, it is freezing and snowy outside, and the rice cakes in the house are in full swing!

every household has to buy all kinds of new year's goods, needless to say, lanterns and spring festival couplets, as well as food and play, especially chicken and fish. Chicken indicates good luck, and fish is of course more than enough every year!
custom 6: keep the lights on
Zhejiang people have the habit of keeping the lights on and keeping the lights on New Year's Eve. Lighting means that lights have to be on everywhere on New Year's Eve. Watching the New Year begins with eating New Year's Eve. This New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten slowly, from the time when the lantern is lit, and some families have to eat it until late at night. The custom of observing the old age not only contains feelings of farewell and nostalgia for the years that have passed away like water, but also expresses good hope for the coming New Year.
custom 7: ancestor worship
ancestor worship is a grand folk activity of Zhejiang people during the Spring Festival. Before the arrival of New Year's Eve, every household puts genealogy and memorial tablets in the hall at home, places a table, sets up a censer and presents, and parents make sacrifices, burn three incense sticks, worship, pray for a bumper harvest, and finally burn paper money, commonly known as "giving money and food." Nowadays, it is more common to set up bowls and chopsticks to worship the dead old people before eating to show New Year greetings and commemoration.
After the New Year's dinner or at the beginning of the first month, the whole family goes to the ancestral burial place to make sacrifices. The sacrifices must be prepared in advance, including firecrackers, incense sticks and burning paper, and sent to the cemetery for burning, which is counted as the Chinese New Year fee for the ancestors. It is inevitable to knock on the head more often, set off firecrackers, and then walk around the cemetery, and the worshippers will take the opportunity to say what they pray for and wish.
The ancestor worship ended on the 15th day of the first month. "I plan to live after the end of the new year." On the 15th, I set off firecrackers and sent my ancestors away.
custom 8: set off firecrackers
when the children are handed in at midnight, the New Year bell rings and fireworks begin to ring. At this time, the bright lights inside the house and the deafening noise outside the house pushed the lively atmosphere of New Year's Eve to the climax. However, with the entry into modern times, people began to pay more attention to its dangers, and perhaps soon, it will withdraw from the stage of Zhejiang New Year.
Special attention: Because of the danger of fireworks and firecrackers, all parts of Zhejiang Province have clearly issued policies stipulating that fireworks and firecrackers cannot be set off in certain areas. Before setting off fireworks, you should determine your local policy! Also, for the safety of you and your family, you must buy fireworks made by regular manufacturers! ! !
