As a branch of Chinese folk cultures, Chaoshan folk customs are the fusion of Han culture, Baiyue folk culture and exotic cultures, demonstrating special features and systematic organization. Some of Chaoshan folk customs includes dietary customs such as "Seven Vegetables Soup" for the 7th day of Chinese Lunar New Year and "Winter Tang-yuan" for winter solstice; wedding customs such as the chanting of four-sentence wishes by the so-called Qingmuniang (an old woman hosting the marriage ceremony); birth celebration customs such as the banquet held by families with baby boys and the so-called "Ex-Garden Ceremony" in celebration of the passage to adulthood; annual worship ceremonies for the eight traditional festivals; entertaining customs such as "Bantu Play"(a costume parade) and "Flower Lantern Game"; and communication customs such as presenting gifts in even numbers for happy occasions and gifts in odd numbers for regretful occasions.
