As the saying goes: there is no size in three days of marriage! This is reflected in the urban and rural wedding "play in-laws" game. According to folklore scholars, "play the in-laws" prevalent in most areas of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia provinces, its origin can not be proved, folklore has been passed down for a long time. In the past, "Juggling Eunuchs" was limited to traditional games such as wiping black faces, riding donkeys and wearing straw hats. However, with the change of the times, the content of the game of "playing the in-laws" is becoming more and more out of the ordinary, and even affects all the family and relatives, which is disgusting.
The first is "pulling the pants", both in-laws and brothers and sisters-in-law or immediate family members will be torn trouser legs, up to the waist. When pulling pants in-laws or relatives shall not resist, shall not face, shall not swear, otherwise it will be considered "playing sorry", make a mess. Next is the groom's parents "disguise", with shoe polish or oil paint the in-laws into a big flower face, head wearing a paper mache high hat, ears and then hang a string of red chili peppers, smeared into red lips, was driven by the guys, around the banquet for the guests to sing and dance. Or wear a leather jacket, back waist insert a big broom, or borrowed costumes, the groom's parents dressed up as a "harmful mother-in-law" model, in the banquet shuttle, for the fun of everyone.
In the past few years, both urban and rural areas, "play the in-laws", "the cave" of the custom began to change the flavor. In the past, the "cave", we get together just to have fun, and now there are behavior is outrageous, is simply vulgar to the extreme, let people see is very angry. For example, a few young people to fifty-six years old in-laws tossed out of shape, but also two old people set on the bull finals head pulling the car, which is not playing, simply insulting.
Small Zhao just got married last month, recalling the day of the "play in-laws" scenario, he is still palpitating. "Wedding day, I went to pick up the bride back to the home, see the parents wearing costumes, standing at the door to meet the wedding party, face expression is very helpless. Some relatives and friends with oil paint in the face of parents wantonly painted, but also put on a high hat made of paper, and so the wedding car to come around the wedding car around two circles. My parents are old, although this is an old custom, but that day played a little too much, my father sprained his back, lying at home for more than half a month, and now can barely walk. I really hope this kind of bad custom can be abolished."
"There should be a degree for everything, and it's not good to go overboard. In the past, 'juggling the in-laws' was just a joke, but now it's a different kind of joke."
