The marriage customs of the She ethnic group in Xiapu have their own characteristics and rich connotations. The ceremony is grand and exquisite, and consists of five parts: marriage negotiation, engagement, becoming a cousin, becoming an uncle, and marriage. The biggest feature of the marriage customs is that "customs are inseparable from songs". Songs run through the whole process from love to marriage, especially the "warming house" at the wedding, with singing and dancing, which has the most ethnic flavor; there is also a "men bowing but women not bowing" ceremony at the She ethnic group wedding, which has existed since ancient times, showing the status of She women. The She ethnic group in eastern Fujian has long practiced clan exogamy and ethnic endogamy. The entire She ethnic group's marriage customs retain the ancient tradition of "(marriage) customs are inseparable from songs": using songs to convey feelings, make friends, express feelings, and entertain - almost using songs to run through the whole process from marriage negotiation to marriage. The marriage customs of the Jingning She ethnic group, which have been passed down from generation to generation, have folk characteristics. The more common She ethnic group marriage customs usually go through the stages of blind dating, engagement, sending glutinous rice, selecting relatives, selecting a groom, sending gifts, blocking the road, borrowing a wok, killing chickens, persuading people to drink, singing songs, etc., and are also unique in the procedures of getting on a sedan chair, passing on generations, dowry, and stepping on cattle. The male singers at the wedding, commonly known as Chilang, often have a lineage of inheritance, speaking with songs, passing on knowledge with songs, and discussing things with songs. The marriage customs of the She ethnic group are a microcosm of the cultural history of the She ethnic group, with extremely strong national characteristics and local flavor. The marriage customs of the She ethnic group are roughly the same as those of the Han ethnic group. In ancient times, the marriage of the She ethnic group was relatively free. Kuang Lu's "Chi Ya" said: "In October, the king Duo (one book says Du) Bei Da Wang was sacrificed, and men and women danced together, which was called Yao Yao. If they were pleased, the man would jump and the chaste woman would leave." People with the same surname but different clans (i.e. people with the same surname but different clans) can get married, but it is rare. They generally do not intermarry with the Han people. "Their surnames are Pan, Lan, Lei, and Zhong, and they intermarry with each other. The natives and their neighbors do not intermarry with each other either." "They do not wear hats or shoes, and the three surnames marry each other." Originally, marriage did not include betrothal money. When a daughter got married, the dowry included not only general gifts, but also farm tools, bamboo hats, and raincoats. This is the best illustration of the She people's love of labor. For example, the She people in Yongchun and Dehua "marry their daughters with knives, axes, and other money." The marriage of Jianyang She nationality "is a betrothal gift of twenty-four gold coins. If there is no dowry on the day of marriage, those who have a little more will be given land and tools, but nothing else. Two or three days in advance, the groom comes to pick her up, similar to the ancient wedding ceremony. When the date comes, the groom leads the way, and the bride wraps a red scarf on her head, wears a blue dress, holds an umbrella, and follows on foot. The bride's father follows behind her, as if protecting her. When they arrive at the groom's house, the relatives and guests have already left, and there is no one in the courtyard. The bride must first ask: "Is your family extinct?" On the day when everyone comes out, you rely on the makeup to bring in the descendants." In November 2014, the marriage customs (Yao marriage customs) declared by Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Guangdong Province were approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China to be included in the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage list (No.: -139).
