Abstract
As an important part of dialect vocabulary, folk words contain rich regional culture in the transmission from generation to generation, known as the “living fossil” for regional culture research. Based on field research and the existing dialect records, folk songs and other documentary materials, this paper takes the folk words reflecting marriage customs in Central Hebei dialect as the research object to explore the regional culture contained and the origin and evolution of these folk words through synchronic description and literature review.
