County in Shandong Province. For generations, they have lived on boats,

decorated boat to welcome the bride. The barn lantern in front of the boat
symbolizes a bright future. |

2. On the way back home, the rooster on the
boat means luck, because the pronunciation of "rooster" in Chinese
is similar to "luck". |
