In ancient times, the process of marriage was very complicated. What kind of etiquette do you need to experience?

The old-style wedding evolved from the ancient "Six Rites". It includes five types: Na Cai, Wen Ming, Naji, Zheng Na and the date of invitation, plus the wedding banquet. What is it called? Six gifts? .

1. The premarital marriage between men and women should be introduced by the matchmaker according to the parents' orders. I think you can exchange "Geng Tie" when the door is right. Please tell your fortune? Look at each other? See if the age of Geng is consistent and whether the zodiac is consistent. Don't discuss your relatives until you are thorough. Before engagement, discuss the bride price. After the engagement, the man carried the betrothal gift to the woman with a barbell. Women return gifts. As a proof of engagement, the man sent a "book", commonly known as "red and green book paper", and the woman sent a "reply", commonly known as "Wen Ding". Follow the "Wen Ding", choose an auspicious day to get married, and the Japanese shop chooses an auspicious day to get married. The day before the wedding ceremony, the man wanted to "settle down". A "Quanfu" woman tied 24 pairs of chopsticks together and put them under the groom's mat, which was called "settling down". One to three nights before marriage, a little boy with both parents slept with the groom and was called "the best man" in bed.

2. Formal wedding

Will the bride use colored cotton yarn as the bride's home? Open your face? Then dress up and wait for the sedan chair to come. When the sedan chair comes to the door, the woman should set off firecrackers to welcome the sedan chair, then leave the door unlocked and open the door after stuffing the red envelope. Before the bride gets on the sedan chair, the man's mother has to make up for it three times. The woman pretends that she doesn't want to get married, and then the mother feeds her daughter the sedan chair and can set off. When the sedan chair enters the man's door, the man will play music and set off firecrackers to welcome the sedan chair. The bride and groom can visit the bride. After the ceremony, the groom led the bride into the bridal chamber with colored balls and ribbons. After entering the bridal chamber, a long-lived and happy woman patted the bride's head with a balance beam and then took off the "hijab".

3. After marriage

On the second day of marriage, the man prepared a sedan chair to invite his uncle. At the luncheon, my uncle sat in the first place and called it "drinking with relatives". After the banquet, you can pick up the groom and accompany the bride back to her family in a sedan chair. This is called "returning to the door". The woman's family hosted a banquet for her son-in-law and returned after the banquet. At this point, the whole wedding is generally over. Because different places, each place will have its own unique etiquette habits.

Chinese wedding originated from thousands of years of cultural accumulation in China. Almost every ceremony in a wedding ceremony is permeated with China people's philosophy and the concept of home and country.
