六、《婚事》 80’ 1999年

出生、結婚和死亡，是人一生中的三件大事。中國自漢朝以來，實行六禮之婚，從提親到結婚，要經歷六個程序。

在秦嶺山脈的大山深處，有個村子叫李仙坡。春天裏梨花盛開的時候，18歲的建娃子和杏樹坡的瓊女子悄悄地好上了。建娃子的鄰家姑娘玉娃子，也在這個時候長大成人了。父親身體不好，她不想嫁出去，想招個女婿上門來，提的是鄰村的小夥子趙忠。這兩對年輕人都托54歲的老漢張新喜作紅爺。從春天到冬天，張新喜穿梭遊説于這四個家庭，一個程序又一個程序，竭力要把婚事促成……

本片跟蹤了兩對農村青年從提親到結婚的全過程。

梁碧波1999拍《婚事》

During 1997 and early 1998, we had a chance to trace and file such a practice in two marriage cases in a remote mountainous area in Southwest China, one involving a bride to settle down in her groom's family, while the other, a man in his bride's ... ...Three events loom large in the course of life of a Chinese: birth, marriage and death.

In the agricultural society of China in the past 2,000 years, the custom of marriage followed strictly six formal rituals: marriage proposal, negotiation, engagement, ritual for obtaining the birth-date of the engaged to confirm the marital relationship, fortune-telling for the best wedding date, and finally wedding ceremony. Each of these rituals would offer a chance for lavish feasting and betrothal-gift bargaining. This age-old practice has been observed in some rural areas in China up till even the present day.

Sociologists in China have long noted that in such a practice, marriage is in essence an inter-family transaction in which the young ones concerned have no say, a manifestation of squander, haggle and hypocrisy, everything except love.
