Buryat museums and Cixous Wood Primary School
In the Hailar District Youth League on the secretary of the arrangement, we go to commune Ewenki flag Cixous wood inspection. Hematoxylin is a transliteration of Mongolian, that is an administrative township. Sume the following are Ga fork, which is equivalent administrative villages.
To Cixous wood commune in the way happens to have a free ride Mongolian Sister, we are first in passing that she learned some things. The older sister's house a little bit far away from the pastoral areas, her husband is a Ewenki big brother. According to her, they are there, the living habits of the Mongolian and Han nationality have been basically similar, but the custom of man-made mound那达慕大会and sacrifice still retains. If we want to learn more about the Mongolian traditional customs and practices, must also go further in-depth pastoral areas.
About an hour later, we finally reached the door Cixous wood governments. Liu Mohan inside the first government to find the person in charge tells us that our purpose in coming. Then, our local curators under the leadership of Buryat, Buryat to visit the local museum. The local population is mainly Buryat people. Mongolian Buryat is one of the ancient tribes, their ancestors had in the Lake Baikal area hunting and fishing lifestyle. The early 20th century are still nomadic in the Argun River to Lake Baikal, WO difficult river, Selenge River. Mongolian Buryat language is a dialect, has its own language. In 1918, part of the Buryat people moved to Hulunbeier Lake, tin Niger River Basin. Yamen in 1922, approved by the Hulunbuir Fudu Tong, in the Niger River to build Buryat tin flag. Incorporated into the flag in 1933, Soren (now Ewenki banners). In 1957, the Chinese government that Chinese citizens Buryat people.
Buryat museum not far from the government, only about 500 meters. The museum covers an area of not only a main hall only. The door with the Chinese-Mongolian two kinds of text read, "Tin Niger River Buryat Museum" will be displayed. After admission, the first thing that catches your eyes is a yurt, located in the central hall. Next to the yurt is a great car, Mingjiaolele car, is a nomadic Buryat people when the main means of transport. Wheel head, wheels, car spoke, thill made with birch, thill for the square, to cattle and horses as draft animals. Surrounded by Buryat people to use some of the physical, there is life tools, production equipment, clothing and religious objects and so on. There are a number of wall-related pictures and illustrations.
Under the leadership of the Curator, we first look at the door of the left-hand side from the beginning. The first part of the first all-inclusive description of the Buryat people's historical, economic profile. Buryat people initially eleven surnames, is said to be from the same ancestors, derived from 11 brothers. In addition, with regard to the origin of Buryat people, there are all kinds of fantastic legends. 13 century, the Buryat people were Temujin conquered since then incorporated into the Mongol tribes into a Mongolian. Buryat people's economy to nomadic livestock keepers mainly. Since reform and opening, pastoral life has undergone tremendous changes, not only solved the problem of food and clothing, many families there are a lot of home appliances.
The second part is the Buryat people's lives and production equipment. Their living and production tools are closely related and the nomadic way of life. On display in kind, mostly with birch, or birch bark as a raw material. Such as the Buryat people use the Sheng tools, mostly birch bark chiseled made or compiled. Buryat people use the bow, forks and other hunting equipment, but also mainly birch as raw material. In addition to these traditional life of the production equipment from local materials, the exhibition also includes a number of 19th-century kind of sewing machines, milk separators and other more advanced tools. Listen to curator said, these are the Russian side of the Buryat people donated to the Museum. At present, China and the Russian side of the Buryat people have a relatively close contact with both sides of the Buryat people have a lot of marriages.
The third part is the marriage customs and dress Buryat people. The picture on the wall to visually show us the wedding when the Buryat people, solemn and full of fun scenes. The wedding was carried out on grassland, people sat on the floor and form a circle. Each preceded by a Mongolian Buryat characteristics of food. There are people to entertain themselves circle improvisational song and dance performances, and the scene is, of course lots of fun. There are pictures in front of the bride's headdress and other in-kind. Buryat people dress robes and boots are mainly divided into winter and summer, although the thick warm winter, but it does not seem bloated, summer is simple elegance. Women's clothing are two, one a left shoulder fold, one is not. Fold are married sign. See the simple elegance of the men's summer, I really hope I can have the opportunity to wear such a one. So one must have dressed themselves seem more Yingzisashuang, imposing all directions.
The fourth part is about religion, some of the pictures and in-kind. Figure on lama temples, and monks who gathered at the scene of funeral rites and so on. In-kind are used in turn by the lamas, ancestor worship, dairy products, as well as a Tibetan Buddhist scriptures. We are strange is that there is actually written in Mandarin and a local Buryat text contrast dictionary.
Finally, we visited the yurt. The yurt was circular spire, height of about 3 meters in diameter 5-6 m from the wooden and felt Wai composition. Door is very narrow, high of about Five Foot, we all need to stoop to enter one by one. Into the package, the face is the shrines dedicated to the deity of Lamaism. Gers the middle is a stove for heating and baking food. Things on each side of the stove, a bed, the bed next to the east which is also a cradle hanging. Previously only seen on TV cradle, this time finally had witnessed, but also the cradle of yurts, we all Interestingly, Shake a few. 2-bed near the north side of the door, there are some life tools, mainly wooden bucket (which may also be used Sheng milk), milk separator, Sheng food used in a large boat-shaped wooden container, colt Yinnai the bottle and so on. Gers of the wall still hung in the quiver, bow, and fitted with a bladder bowl and chopsticks. But the bowl is small, and we usually eat rice almost as large as used in small bowl. The Mongols did not expect rough bold surprise for such a small bowl to eat. Perhaps because the Mongols to meat-based, but also eat meat mostly clutch without the need to bowl; just spur of the moment when to use bowl.
We are ready to come out from the yurt, it was suddenly like, like Columbus discovered the New World, exclaimed "record machine!" We are all Mother looked This was found in the shrines on the eastern side of cabinet, there is one old-fashioned music machine. At this time, the recording machine curator hand turn the handle forward to our presentation. She then sorry to say, "a few days ago is still good, but also emit sounds. Really happened that was bad today." This sets record machine and Russia's Buryat people are donating, unusual herdsmen are could not afford such entertainment products.
The museum is small, but the exhibits and information are quite abundant. Through it, we have some preliminary understanding of the Buryat people's profiles and characteristics. Like almost every appliance on display revealing the Buryat people are rough, bold, forthright character traits.
Visit exhausted, has been around noon, we have a simple local hotel to eat own food, and rest for three hours in preparation for the afternoon to visit the local primary school.
The afternoon we went to primary schools in addition to lead curator, there are a名叫达西玛Buryat Sister, she is also Cixous wood work of the government. Primary school not far from the government, about 1000 meters or so.
Gates on both sides with the Chinese-Mongolian school's name written in both languages: seney Hexi hematoxylin Center School. Let us first come to the teachers office where a row of bungalows, reception us is an art teacher, she called Bai Ling, is Han Chinese. Here the wall close to the Mongolian aisle of the school timetable and school fees. According to the teacher introduced the third grade and above all has opened a Chinese language classes for at least the last two lessons a week. However, because local residents are often normal in Chinese exchange students in higher grades can be said that most fluent Mandarin.
We place teachers out of office after the first went to looked at the school canteens and dormitories. Herders who live in general are more scattered, the majority of students at home is still relatively far from the school, and must live on campus. Schools have special teachers for student accommodation. Dorm room is a shelf bed, windows have two layers of glass, both anti-sand warm again.
Then, we come to the fourth grade one class, the teacher is inside on the Mongolian language class. Bai Ling teachers are the teachers to explain our purpose in coming. Teachers and students are under the applause of our arrival. We will enter the classrooms and teachers communicate with students. Students were a bit cautious, basically we ask what did they look at population movement. But they still all came to speak Chinese very well. We understand that this school is roughly equal to the proportion of boys and girls. In addition to live near the school, several students, most students had to stay a week in order to return home once. After returning home, in addition to whatever help the family to do some living things, they are still a learning-based. Parents also want their children to learn in the future the University of organic examinations.
Then, we went to preschool. And fourth-grade classrooms, like the classroom is also equipped with heating, comes with a projector. Close to the Mongolian language at the top of the blackboard, "love the motherland," the banners and the flag of the printing side. On both sides of the walls and behind the wall close to the excellent work of students as well as the Hall of Fame. Most pre-school students will not speak Chinese. Led by their teachers, they sang in Chinese, "two tigers" For us, welcome.
Subsequently, Bai Ling, the teacher also invited us to visit the school art room. Art room is the teacher and students demonstrate outstanding works. Most students in the middle of a table arrayed with manual work, there are le car models, beautiful handkerchief and so on. Four weeks is the calligraphy and paintings on the walls. Calligraphy is mainly the teacher's work, painting some more students. Works, even though there are not yet ripe, but they are very creative style, there are pieces of art already had the characteristics of impressionist or post-modernist. Incidentally, we also visited the computer room next to. Computer room, only a dozen computers, usually two per class one. Posted on the wall, some students created their own computer art. Paintings, though not refined, but the ideas and lines are still far from satisfactory.
Finally, we come to President's Office, and principals discussion. The arrival of our principals are also very welcome. During the conversation, the principal mentioned that the shortage of teachers in schools are now on the one hand, while shortage of funds. The greatest shortages of teachers in English and Chinese teacher, he hoped that the conditions permitting, if we can be in their school teaching for some time. Because of local financial constraints, funding for education in schools is often higher authorities in arrears, which led to more and more behind the school's teaching facilities, brain drain is also very serious. We are also concerned about the difficulties for the school, but we are, after all, far away from the Hulunbuir, helpless. We only hope that the developed countries and regions will give more local support and help from kind-hearted people to give their love and affection out of the hands, giving them more attention.
Sister told us that a local Daxi Ma has acquired a girl to marry into Chenbaerhu flag, so we decided to Cixous wood Duodai two days. Night, I take a person back to Hailar city some necessary things, several of their big sister home and spend the night in Daxi Ma.

Herdsmen home and lamasery
Morning ride starting from Hailar to go to West Corporation. To the Commune West, we have (Mo-Han Liu, Xu Zhang, Huang Zupeng and I) pack in a face, in Daxi Ma Big Sister, brother in law and another Buryat Aunt, accompanied by in-depth pastoral visits. Surface of the vast grassland gallop forward, we are way out of the window to enjoy the fresh and natural beauty. Looking around us, the window is full of a green, yellow or occasionally Jiduo dotted with white flowers, but also added some good intentions. Meandering, clear the tin Niger River will be divided into two grasslands, however, is the same on both sides of the rich prairie life. Brown horses are running in the red white horse health horses freely and safely to the river water. See all of this, we are fatigue Dunxiao bumpy ride, everyone's tongue to praise with his face showing a relaxed, intoxicated expression. Then, Xu Zhang suddenly asked the driver to stop. After stopping, she jumped out of car, pick up the camera, "Kacha, Kacha" ground captured the pleasant scenery. Later, Xu Zhang has repeatedly asked to stop at pictures.
When Che Xingzhi a slightly higher slopes of the former when the top of the hill, pointing Daxi Ma big sister said, "that is, to sacrifice a few days where man-made mound." We all felt very listened to is a pity, because our trip has determined not keep up with the Mongolian tradition of the festivities. Obo originally in the vast Mongolian grasslands stones storing heap-like signs, and later evolved into the mountain god worship and religious way of God. With this ceremony, the growing promotion and deeply rooted among the people who participate in this ceremony, more and more young and old throughout the ministries of Mongolia. This provides young men and women glances to convey his ideas, and mutual love for the table and places provided the opportunity, "Aobaoxianghui" hence the name. We are full of regret that looked Nazuo slopes, imagine obo was lively and full of fun scenes. Truck continued fled to the depths of the boundless steppes.
About half an hour later, we came to a herdsman family. (This happened two days after the herdsmen families marry off their daughters.) Their house has two rows of mud brick structure cottages. Row of bungalows not far from the left in front of a yurt, but it seems not for living people, inside empty. Rearward center of the courtyard where the car stood a few metal boxes may be used to put the dowry. Entered the house, we use a faltering Mongolian say hello to the owner: "San 100 Connaught (Hello)!" Masters now smile as a signal that we take lightly. Daxi Ma older sister and her husband rushed to the owner tells us that our purpose in coming. Subsequently, the four of us interested in each direction on his own, or to ask the owner, or their own inspection.
Liu Mohan students were most interested in clothing. She was surrounded by several of the Buryat clothes are doing dowry Aunt inquired in detail from time to time use a pen to remember what the last book. She asked after this, but also went on to ask, um, seem to have infinite questions to ask, I really have a Inquisitor asked in the end of the posture. And Aunt have always taken the trouble to answer with her. She seemed to remember what side of the hand gestures, while Aunt to a description of the Mongols. Aunt seemed to understand, and she Mongolian side of the husband to say a few words what. Subsequently, the husband quickly from another room to fetch more than 2 foot black cloth tilting cylinder and a number of gold and silver hair. In the husband's explanation of how did I find out the original black cloth that was tilting cylinder Mongolian woman after marriage is used to set queue, and the purpose is to facilitate the crafts, in order to avoid queues, especially in art when you get in the way of food production. Mongolian Buryat people of women, in life there are three main hair-style. 14-year-old former short hair, you can also tie a number of pigtail; 14-year-old to get married on the rolling out of eight pigtail, four on each side; married after beaten up two big braids, and then barrel-shaped bag set up .
I Daxi Ma Big Sister and brother in law came to chat up the yard. Our main chat is the Marriage Customs in some situations. In general, the groom to the bride one one side in order to get married three times Hada. The first was the groom the same clan elders in an eminent representative of the groom to the bride's family presented hada that propose marriage; if the bride's party initially agreed to the match, then the groom's parents take hada to the bride's parents of the bride's family and get to know each other , and discuss some preparation before marriage matters; third time a gift is a bride and groom to discuss both sides, choose to marry the lucky date.
Wedding day, a bride and all the relatives should go to the wedding. Baoji with our custom is different. In Baoji, the bride's parents are unable to attend a wedding so the bride too sad, destroyed the festive atmosphere of the wedding.
Buryat people of the Marriage Customs with our larger difference lies in Baoji, the groom's party is not required to pay a bride price, simply presented three times, and make arrangements for the wedding Hada. The bride's side will have to dowry lot. If the bride's family's economic situation is good, more dowry items. This is a reflection of the Buryat people, their children as equals, basically there is no "patriarchal" concept.
We love to talk to when you are energetically, the owner greeted us in. He Naicha 1. Mongolian milk tea is widely consumed tea. Its production method will be brick tea boiled brown, clarification, oil-fried millet into the sheep tail sub-meters in the pot, add salt to boil milk and appropriate. Buryat people's tea production is different, is the brick tea or broiled, or steep, packed in vacuum bottle, the tea against the cooked milk and water, shading due to person to person, generally do not salt. Milk tea is milky white, but a little gloomy than some of the color of milk, tastes the slightest hint of salty. We finished a bowl, the owner greeted us immediately then drink a second bowl. Liu He Naicha Mohan particularly fond of, she drank a consecutive bowls, while drinking is also the host side, "tut" endless praise. Heard that she Daxi Ma big sister at home last night to drink a lot of it!
Subsequently, we and the owner of one and the Daxi Ma big sister, brother in law and others posed for pictures together before in the yurt. Brother in law heard that I particularly like one of the Buryat youth wearing traditional costumes, they used young Mongolian向那said a few. Then, that juvenile will be pleased to take off the body of the Mongolian robes I wear, even the head of the hat and the boots are off feet down. I hastened to express his gratitude and the help of the husband to wear a set of Mongolian costumes. I is like a mighty handsome youth of Mongolia. I stood before the yurt, bare right hand, placed a very cool gesture. As Xu Zhang, "Kacha" soon as pressing the shutter, this beautiful moment we recorded. But I also get enough, then at an open meadow, and Huang Zupeng practicing wrestling to. As a result, our cameras also recorded a fantastic wrestling and wrestling wrestle later, we finished exaggerated smile.
Xu Zhang also took some fine Mongolian traditional costumes, special food, and a Buryat brother shearing scenarios. Huang Zupeng Food asked some of the characteristics of interest.
We are ready to drive away, we found stakes near a maroon on Shuanzhe a beautiful and vigorous horse. Our mood suddenly up again, and we ask that the owner can gallop lap. However, horse owners say that patience is too strong, and our first ride, afraid of something happening falls to us. We all looked very depressed, only much slower to catch far more than the nice looking horse. Finally, Xu Zhang, or unwilling, and finally stood not far away from the horse to stay in a shadow.
Subsequently, we host a farewell: "Bahia Stein." We then drove to the grasslands of a lamasery rush to another. The way, we stopped at a small river. Riverside plants horses, cattle and sheep are also many, and at least three or four hundred only. We enjoy the river to play, take pictures, enjoy this gift of nature. At this point, I am reminding us of scenes depicted in Jin Yong's novels into the prairie landscape.
Finally to the lamin sum of. The temple occupies an area is not large, and our temple the countryside in general almost Baoji. It is alone in this vast expanse of grassland in the hands of a hundred mile radius of the pastoralists and even hundreds of years of happiness and well-being of the prayer. Not far away from the temple, is a small pavilion. There is a huge shake, economic, and television saw the monks turned to shake hands through the appearance, just a great many times the need to force rotation in order to turn up. Also inscribed on the roll by the number of words, evidently like the Tibetan Buddhist scriptures.
Most notably the entire temple is located in the center of the main hall. Although only a layer of the main hall, but still lose majestic glory, hope's awe-inspiring. The main hall in front of a tall, two stone lions, the main hall behind the cabin 23 may be one who takes charge of routine old lama temple for rest and storage of religious belongings place. In the cabin the left front, there is a cement brick similar to the incense burner of xintaizi, which has a lot of ash.
According to the custom of Tibetan Buddhism, Buddhist shrine into the main hall to pray for the gods bless, should the main buildings around the temple hands together three times to go. So, I also followed her husband, walking up behind them. Take the time to turn turning his mouth with stone lions stone ball, behind the huge stone lions shake shake through, walked hut before the door of the room with the forehead tap. Then, around to the house behind the other side went in front of tap housing door of the room. But also rotating the four corners of Taiwan incense-like stones on the four buns. Finally, back to the other side of the stone lions in front of the mouth with rotating stone ball. In this way, has been taking three times to enter the main hall.
After entering the main hall is opposite a large throne, rather than the Buddha. It is a living Buddha Panchen Erdeni reserved. Hung above the throne of a very large frame, which is the Panchen Lama in a photograph. Left and right of this frame, there are other people some of the portraits or photographs. According to the old monks who introduced ancient Tibetan Buddhism is a contribution to some of the painting or photograph. There are also some statues around the throne, but not entirely their own Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism. There is a Buddhist monk's staff Shou Zhi Jin, Jin-Shen Tang Seng resembles Buddha, said to be a Han Chinese temple Zalantun sent. These statues inside the shrine, the most right that is actually respected by the Han Xiantao hand of god of longevity. I think lamasery inside the statue so the layout, which he explains the Mongolian living Buddha is very respected in the illusion of the Buddha, that is, the relationship between man and God Mongol inner extreme worship of God is not to belittle people, and their religious ideas, some materialist color ; the other hand, Since the Yuan Dynasty Mongol policy of religious tolerance will still retain the.
Are two rows of chairs in front of the throne, and pray for people to kneel before the futon to use. When the chair is the temple come from all over the monks chanting when sitting. In addition to chairing the affairs of the old routine lama temple, the other monks are part-time, only when the temple came chanting rest of the time is still all in their industry.
There are a number of boxes on both sides of the main hall, which there are some religious articles. In a number of statues for the table, arrayed with butter and other materials system offerings. There are a number of believers donate table scattered coins.
In the husband's help, we are each on his own issues of interest to the old lama who ask about that. Finally, we ask the old lamas for our message, he wrote some Tibetan, to the effect that bless us happy and healthy. Listen brother, said he respected lama, and his blessing is efficacious. We are quick to express gratitude and a group photo taken with him.
In this way, we conclude today's investigation, reluctantly left the pastoral areas, returning home Daxi Ma Sister.

Buryat - Chenbaerhu Wedding
According to plan, we will vary Daxi Ma older sister near their home in a marry off their daughters to get pro team, to participate in their Chenbaerhu flag's wedding.
According to the book records, a traditional Mongolian wedding was rushed to the pro-time is very interesting. In general, the bride's family to send the pro-team and the groom's family's Bridal teams rushed to the groom's family are riding. On the way, sending the pro-teams and Bridal teams there was a secret contest, a first team game which the groom's family. Therefore, the bride's side to send the pro-teams are often deliberately triumph over the groom's hat, forcing him to slow down the pace pick up. The groom's side also has its own way. They are in the upcoming home where the bride hosted a family get rewarded pro team. But this time, the groom was turned over to a horse, took the opportunity to arrive home first.
How such a scene full of fun ah! Immediately think of you never actually saw, and heart felt thus elatedly of.
Yesterday afternoon, the bride's family began busily working up to today. Bride's family and neighbors who are also capitalists to come and help. The men on the spot zaiyang, stripping in sheep's clothing, while women are boil water, cook meat and prepare other foods. We are four points to help busy, can not help anything, at most, to play drums of water helped. We only looked on,拍几张照片, ask a few questions.
A moment later, host family has been hand meat well, and invites us to taste. We really reactive by Lu ah. Shame, shame! Handle the meat's approach is very simple, Jae-wan, Yang, cleaned, placed in boiling water for about mutton and what not need to add seasoning. Cooked, you can eat with a knife cut the. The absolute natural green food! Of course, taste is not very fragrant, but the hint of salty, the more the more flavored chewing, more and more people give birth to a return to nature, back to nature feeling. I picked up the knife, cut a piece of meat, and imagine the heroes of The Water Margin "large meat and drinking bowl," the lofty, and he is big mouth and chew up, would like to experience the "bowl He Naicha, big mouth and chewed mutton" in pride. But I had two on the chew chew no more. Alas, despite some pride of their own, only two rows of bold Unfortunately, fewer teeth. In addition to handle the meat, we ate fruit butter, dried out in Pakistan and Taba. Butter fruit, by definition, that is, cattle fried fruit, each about the size of fruit and sugar. Xiang eating salty taste, texture Ren Shuang. Pakistan is the Buryat themselves out of similar baked bread as a food, but loose and delicious, eat forget. Taba is a dry rice as the main raw material, plus there is a local variety of dried fruits as a sweet rice cake, soft and sweet food for thought. Finally, we each ate a bowl of porridge plus a small piece of mutton.
After getting up this morning, we arrived early and the bride's family. They are busily working at home has already begun, and estimates in the preparation of breakfast, as well as the hospitality Bridal ranks of food. At this time, I finally glimpse the bride hosting the Games. She was dressed and the next several Buryat girl did not seem much different. If someone told me that she was the bride, I really do not see them. She is working with his childhood and youth, the companions who chat while breakfast. At the same time in the presence of three bridesmaids, one of whom married and two unmarried. Table of food is not very rich, but delicate and characteristic. There Taba dry, handle meat, as well as fruit with butter and a variety of cookies, cakes from the plate to fight, as well as champagne, tea and so on. The most unique aspect is a watermelon, it is cut into basket-like formation of the first part of the watermelon rind to mention handle looks very interesting.
The bride down milk a female companion when he suddenly dropped out from the spout to a thin line. People are showing the look of joy. It turned out that prior Sheng tea in the pot placed on a long line to wish the bride symbolizes longevity. In the inverted tea, if the line out in which people's cup, that person would also be good luck. In the end, the bride into the groom's family will line.
A moment, the bride's relatives come to give the bride a gift. Cloth gift is generally used for bridal gowns and scarves and other sewing Mongolia. There is money, generally Fifty round. Bride to accept gifts, first took his hands flat cloth, and then hold up his hands high to the top of the head office. Money to people who normally collected by the specialized.
About 9 am, at ten o'clock, the groom's family's Bridal fleet has been achieved. Bridal team used After breakfast, began to dowry onto a car. At this time, the bride's mother to attend the wedding gifts were distributed. Men's gift is a blue hada, women are a light green scarf. We four were also received presents. Mo-Han Liu and Xu Zhang could not wait to wear a headscarf, but also with each other take pictures.
To send the pro ranks soon set out. Bridesmaids and the bride will be married, accompanied by others, directly to the groom's house dress and make up, formally put on wedding garments. While others will ride to the hotel the wedding. Huang Zupeng I obviously can not follow the bride away, four of us only two-pronged.
It seems that we do not see that the rich taste of traditional Mongolian wedding scene of the. We are somewhat regret. But times have changed, our thinking can not be stagnant in the past, we should also move forward with the times. Horseback riding their own fun, Do not ride the convenience of car Mody?
After about two hours of bumpy, we have finally reached Chenbaerhu flag Yun hotel that the wedding will be held in place. We got off to send the pro ranks as one after another into the hotel. The hotel's banquet hall filled with about as much as forty to fifty tables. We went, there were approximately one half of the seated guests. I Huangzu Peng far right in the hall near the stage and sat down on the banquet table. Our table a total of nine people, most of the older guests.
Ten minutes later, with the cheerful, happy sound of firecrackers, the groom, the bride, as well as Mo-Han, Hsu Feng-they also get to the hotel. Then, the wedding started. Moderator announced that the wedding started and welcome all the friends and family to participate in the wedding. The groom's father publicly announced the marriage and with the Mongolian speech.
In the crowd cheers, the groom, the bride, as well as a pair of bridesmaid and best man onto the stage. Then the bride and groom each other wearing rings and drink sweet Atsumi the Jiaobei Jiu. It immediately applaud. Applause in the hall over the repercussions, the stimulation, it was rumored hotel, drifting into the distance, as if a pair of newcomers to the world the combination, suggesting humans going. Everyone in the heart silently blessing, I sincerely wish the couple a happy life, old age a long marriage.
Then, the groom, the bride to the groom's parents toast to the. Miss bride, who took over from the service exquisite silver cup, carefully filled a glass of wine, and then handed the groom. The groom took the cup, first presented respectfully to his father, then her mother a cup of respect. The groom's parents looked at his humble, good match for a pair of sons and daughters, his face suddenly blooming flowers. It contains the number of human smile best thing - the hardships parents, responsibility and well-being of his son grow up all kinds of experience sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, adult son, Wei-after, strong and filial piety and Kung, daughter of the beautiful, virtuous and good, son and daughter's fall in love, son and daughter-infinite future life better ... ... all these good things eventually condensed into two old people's face like a flower smile. At the moment, the world's most well-being of people in addition to this new right, that is, the two old man.
King finished the drink, people are invariably picked up the filled wine glass, toward the groom, the bride's direction, toward the direction of the groom's parents, toast blessing. This scene, and once while not large banquet courtiers during the Yuan Dynasty emperors large-scale, with grand and extravagant, but it intrigues less bureaucratic strife, Quyifengying ugly face of slavery Selineiren with those for the ministers, fear, but more ordinary between the sincere affection and heartfelt best wishes.
Fangxiajiubei later, people are beginning to each table while chatting away casually, while enjoying the beauty of fish dishes on the table. People respect each other with wine, talking about their respective topics of interest. There are also some people, filled wine, a separate toast to the groom's father. At the same time, the groom with his or her own charming bride, table table a toast to the guests.
Stage, the guests, the singing and dancing people, have stage presents its own programs. Less than a year-old niece of the groom is also a small stage and presented an accordion solo, as a gift uncle, aunt married a special gift.
