On August 15th, during the 23rd South China Sea (Yangjiang) Fishing Season, a distinctive Tanka traditional wedding customs performance was staged. With fishing boats serving as bridal sedan chairs and folk sea songs as accompaniment, a Tanka couple re-enacted an authentic "maritime wedding," drawing nearly a thousand tourists to watch.

To the lingering melody of folk sea songs, the bride appeared in a red Tanka wedding dress with a phoenix coronet adorned with red hairpins and a red veil, while the groom wore a black wedding outfit with a large red flower pinned to his chest. Behind their "wedding boat," over 20 fisherwomen in traditional Tanka attire carried ornate gold jewelry and a dazzling array of dowry gifts—including pairs of chickens and geese, pork, fish, wedding wine, and wedding pastry—escorting the couple as they moved slowly forward.

"This is my first time seeing a Tanka-style wedding customs performance. I walked along with it for quite a while, and it was lively and refreshing," said Ms. Zhang, a tourist from Guangzhou. "Experiencing traditional customs here on Yangjiang Hailing Island is very interesting, and I hope to see more of the local culture."

The Tanka wedding performance not only added rich cultural flavor to the fishing festival, but also gave audiences a close encounter with the unique charm of maritime folk customs.
