The Red Dao ethnic community in the province has a long history of tradition and culture still preserved and handed down. In particular, the custom of "san cha cha" (also known as "cha cha") in the wedding is imbued with national identity, demonstrating how to deal with profound human values.
The wedding ceremony of the Dao Do ethnic people usually takes place mainly with the groom's family (in case of marriage, the opposite is the case), so the delegation brings the bride to the groom's house on average from 60 to 80 people, sometimes from 100 to 120 people. The girl's family takes the bride to the groom's house called the "father father" or "father hunt", which means the family union. The girl's party has informed the boys' party of the number of people in the "group" to prepare for the groom's table. After taking the bride to the bride's house, the groom's house carries out the ceremony to bring the bride to the house according to the regulations. The delegation will attend a welcoming dinner at the groom's house and when leaving, each member of the delegation will be brought home by the family of meat and wine. The custom of offering meat and wine in the family tradition is called the custom of "san cha".According to Mr. Ly Van Sung, of the Red Dao ethnic group, Tat Sam hamlet, Thanh Cong commune (Nguyen Binh), the division of wine and meat of the custom of "san cha" is divided according to the first order: Grandparents and Uncle Ba who gave presents from 5 - 10 kg of meat (of which, donations must have legs), 5-10 liters of alcohol; uncles and brothers and sisters give 2 - 4 kg of meat, 2-4 liters of alcohol; other relatives, neighbors at least 1 kg of meat, 1 liter of alcohol or more. If the girl group of about 60 people, they must also operate 4-5 pigs, each weighing 70 kg or more. There are more than 10 pigs to be cut to meet the "father" practice.
It can be seen that the custom of "raising father" in the wedding ceremony of the Red Dzao ethnic people is a form of "returning the favor", expressing the gratitude of the groom's family to the family and relatives of the bride who was born and raised. He, teach adult bride to marry into the boy's house. On the other hand, the Red Dao people believe that getting married is not the private affairs of a family but also the joys and responsibilities of relatives, communities and villages. Therefore, whenever there is a wedding, everyone prepares offerings, food, and shares work with the bride's family. In particular, whether the groom's family is far away or the girls' union is enthusiastically involved in taking the bride to the boy's house, the fact that the bride's family pays respect to all pork and wine when they leave is to show their " later "in the life of the Red Dao.
Due to the characteristics of living in valleys, distracting population distribution, difficult economic life, unprofitable transportation ... every wedding of the Dao people must mobilize many people to help the animals. physically and mentally, so the "father" is very expensive. For economic families with many difficulties, this custom becomes a burden because in addition to 5-10 pigs used to perform the "father cha" tradition, the wedding of the groom usually lasts 2-3 days so the job Red Dao weddings are very expensive. There are families after the wedding, it takes 2-3 years to pay off the debt to take care of this "father".
However, in recent years, implementing the civilized lifestyle in weddings, funerals and festivals, the party committee and the authorities at all levels have had many forms of propaganda and mobilizing the Dao community to have a modern innovation. "Sanh cha" rules ensure both preserving and preserving and promoting the current life. Chairman of Thai Hoc Commune People's Committee (Nguyen Binh) Trieu Ton Sinh - where 100% of Red Dao people live, said: At present, the custom of "fathering" in the Red Dao wedding is still preserved but there have been incidents. adjust more appropriately. The "crazy father" team is not so many in number as before; the number of alcohol and meat is only symbolic and has no specific number. Having a girl's family indicates that the practice of "fatherhood" with grandparents and parents of the bride does not have to be done with all members of the father union.
