It is said that this custom originated in ancient times. It must be convenient for girls to get married far away. Unfortunately, she was eaten by a tiger hiding in the forest. Later, the tiger became the bride and ate the groom's sister. This story is obviously used to warn the bride to have room for sundries before marriage, otherwise something bad will happen, so the bride needs to go on a hunger strike.
According to the Yi people's rules, no matter how far it is, people walk, don't ride horses, don't drive, and now some people ride cars and tractors. As a result, the wedding and gift-giving team brought a dazzling array of dowry to the man's home with the cheerful music of trumpet and suona. Along the way, people are still playing the piano, singing folk songs and dancing with their left feet, which is very lively. According to this custom, the longer the handyman is, the more thorough he is, the stronger he is, the more persistent he is, and the more he knows etiquette, the Yi bride will be praised.
At this time, a middle-aged woman presided over the wedding, and the bride and groom had a drink. Then the groom walked out of the new house, and the female guest of the new house accompanied the groom to the new house. According to the traditional custom, the bride can't eat two meals a day. Accompanying mother cooks dinner for the bride and invites the groom to accompany her.
When the wedding procession returns to the groom's house, they must light cannons and firecrackers. Be invited to the wedding. Then the bride, accompanied by a girl with two torches, walked into the gate and sat on the bed in the cave. Habits vary from place to place, just like Yi people fast their brides.
