What are the folk customs in Shaanxi Province?
One strange thing - squatting instead of sitting on the bench: Because squatting is more convenient than sitting (because the Guanzhong area is mainly based on agriculture, and there are many busy farming seasons, so everyone is taking time to rest.

Second Weird - --House half-covered: The main reason is that Guanzhong people pay more attention to Feng Shui and believe that "fertile water does not flow into other people's fields." Even if it rains, rainwater must flow into their own yards. The second reason is for the convenience of lighting, and the third reason is that farmers in Guanzhong area have free time. I like to "drop in" (that is, my neighbors often walk around and gossip), so I built it so that my neighbors won't see my belongings. Finally, every household's toilet is at the back of the house. There was no septic tank before, and it was basically an artificial one. The excrement is accumulated and hauled to the ground on a "cart" for better ventilation.
Three weirdos----The girl keeps it secret: The emphasis on marriage in Guanzhong is to "know the roots." , the old custom is that if your daughter marries outside, you will be bullied, and if you marry a daughter-in-law from outside, you will be afraid of losing it.
