Returning to the hometown for the Spring Festival is the thing that everyone who is working hard outside is most eager, only the hometown has a sense of home, and only when returning to the hometown can there be family affection and a taste of the Year. What a joy it is for a family to get together and spend a new year in harmony.
But for unmarried men and women, returning to their hometown for the New Year also has something that makes them very helpless, that is, blind dates. If you take the object home for the New Year, it is a great joy for everyone, if you are still single and return to your hometown, you will be urged to marry by the seven aunts and eight aunts.
Of course, the way of marriage promotion in each place is different, some places children are forced to go on blind dates, endless blind dates, and some places use another very special rule to urge marriage.
On January 31, next to an ancient well in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, it was crowded with men, women and children. They were not queuing up to fetch water, but washing wells, which were all unmarried young men.
This is the rule left by the village for hundreds of years: when the New Year is new, unmarried young men go to wash the well. Netizens message: not much harm, very insulting.
Early in the morning, those unmarried young men honestly came to the ancient well and prepared to wash the well. The elders of the village and the men who have started a family followed to watch and supervise.
Some young men just came to wash the well, and they were a little embarrassed, but after a few years of washing, they were already fearless, a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, I was single What's wrong?
Some young men have washed a few times and married a daughter-in-law, so they come to the well to watch others wash, their faces are full of showing off, and they don't forget to say a few words: wash clean, next year you don't have to wash again.
These unmarried boys also cooperate very well, carrying water, brushing wells, flushing water, everyone has said and laughed, naturally alleviating the awkward atmosphere, besides, the people standing next to them, who is not the old predecessor who has washed the well?
Those who marry their daughters-in-law are inevitably in a posture of coming over, condescending to point out the country, and the uncles and uncles of the older generation say words of comfort and blessing, so that the boys are full of hope for the single.
Netizens feel very curious about this special way of urging marriage, compared to those nagging marriage urging, this way of urging marriage seems to have a more oppressive sense, after all, in full view of everyone, to the well side of a station, everyone tacitly agreed.
Of course, there are also netizens who think that this way of urging marriage is more civilized, and everyone consciously does it, which is much better than the nagging of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and everyone is working together with a very atmosphere, which is a kind of entertainment.
Some netizens asked: Is this a kind of corporal punishment?
In fact, in any case, this is a kind of cultural inheritance, since it is the rules set by the elders, there is naturally a reason for existence, and the younger generations will continue to do so.
Each place has its own customs and habits, and this unmarried young man going to wash the well is also a feature of this village, a must-stay program for the New Year, and it is also a unique scenery.
Although it is a little special to use the way of washing wells to urge marriage, but the fate of this thing is early and late, impatient to eat hot tofu, do not have to be too anxious to be an elder, once the fate arrives, it will come to fruition.
Unmarried young men also relax their mentality, do not deliberately pursue things that do not belong to themselves, spend a little more time to improve themselves, work hard, accumulate more contacts and social resources, and so on, when they become stronger, are they afraid that there is no girl's favor?
Singleness is temporary, as long as you work hard enough, the happiness that belongs to you will definitely come!
