After a pregnant woman gives birth to a baby, a hat made of thin bamboo strip should be hung on the door to show that someone inside is in puerperal period and outsiders must not enter as the fragile kid cannot withstand disturb. A stick with sharp points, oak and pine branches should also be inserted on the threshold to avoid evil.

The delivered baby should be bathed with warm water. When it was almost one month old, both the baby and mother should use water boiled with branches and other leaves for disinfection and bath.

After the baby is born, the maiden family should be informed right away. The maiden family should visit daughter with nourishing nutrients such as rice, eggs, and brown sugar as well as clothes and backpacks, etc. for the baby.

When the baby is one month old, a big name-giving ceremony will be held, commonly known as Zhumike. The guests invited are often more than those attending the parents’ wedding ceremony. This is because usually only the relatives and friends of the bride will be invited for the wedding ceremony while guest from both sides will be invited for Zhumike.

As long as one person is invited, all his or her family members will need to attend the banquet. The gift should include a basin (about 5 kilos) of rice, dozens of eggs, and fabrics for children's clothes. Zhumike includes two meals, one is the dinner on the first day and the other is the breakfast on the next day. When the second meal is finished, the mother will take out the baby to meet the guests, and grandmother and aunts will accompany. When the baby stops a table for a family, that family will give a little money to the baby symbolically, and the hosts will ask the guests to give the baby an infant name. This request should not be refused. The host family will collect all the names given, and ask some highly respected seniors to choose a name or give another to be finally taken as the baby's infant name. Then the Zhumike ceremony is over.
