The economic life of the Jizzakh oasis extends beyond the fertile fields to vibrant markets that serve as centers of trade and commerce. These markets are not only places of economic exchange, but also centers of cultural cooperation. Every transaction is steeped in tradition, and both buyers and sellers follow established customs. One such tradition is the ceremonial exchange of salt and bread during transactions. This symbolic act represents mutual respect and goodwill between the parties involved. In addition, the markets are decorated with colorful fabrics and traditional crafts, creating an attractive environment that reflects the cultural diversity of the region. 79 Acumen: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research Acumen: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research Volume 1, Issue 4 Felting is made from sheep's soul, mainly from young lambs, which is soft. The sheep's wool is thoroughly washed, cleaned, and dyed. when colors are taken, painted after that, all kinds of symbols and pictures were drawn from the sack (kandir) and dyed wool, and boiling salt water was poured into it, and it was folded into a circle with women's wrists and kicked by women and young children. Let the bride and groom marry each other and walk together. In order to have many children, to protect them from all kinds of evil, they sewed a square shape with different colored fabrics.1 Among the paintings related to marriage preserved among the inhabitants of the Jizzakh oasis, it was noticed that the scope of the researches conducted on the customs of "going to the bride (burundiq)", "collecting dowry", "stirring", etc., etc., is not very extensive. Especially among the Uzbeks who speak the Kipchak dialect, some traditions related to family and marriage are somewhat different from the traditions of the majority of the Uzbek population living in our country and neighboring countries. At present, the most common weddings in Uzbeks are held according to the new ceremony, with the consent of the bride and groom, parents, close relatives and friends. In many places, the traditional "fatiha oshi", "send sarpo", "consultation wedding", "god introduction", "haitlik", "girls' party", "padar oshi" and other pictures or pictures are still practiced. After y, customs such as "chimildiq yigdi", "bride's greeting", "bride saw", "challar" or "groom's call" are held. Of course, such weddings require a lot of money. These customary rituals are a heavy burden for families with many children, often leading them to fall into debt. And the “kalin”that has been preserved until now will be burdened with even more costs. It is now presented in a modernized form as a "groom's gift" or "milk fee". In fact, it is one of the common customs among Turkic peoples before Islam. For example, it is mentioned in the Orkhun-Yenisei inscriptions of the VI acp, in the works of Mahmud Koshgari. Some researchers say that it is a custom associated with evaluating the value of women in society as a labor force, while others say that it arose with the beginning of their social inequality. In order to justify this, the example of being forced to work or pay in money according to the ancient custom is shown. In some cases, following the custom of exchanging a girl instead of a dowry, i.e., the dowry was not paid. After the advent of Islam, the payment of fat was legalized. This custom is still preserved, and it is considered a big money in South Uzbekistan, Khorezm and Karakalpakstan. The 1 Torayev M. "Century tradition of our national culture".
