Why use the word "Xi" when getting married?

In China culture, marriage is one of the most important events in life. In traditional culture, marriage is regarded as a great achievement in life, which can bring a bright vision for the full moon and future generations. For both men and women, marriage means working together to protect love, thinking and acting in unison, and supporting each other in life. Xi is a festive word used to wish a happy, harmonious and complete wedding. Why use two words "Xi"? This paper will discuss this issue.

First of all, what is the original meaning of "Xi"?

In the history of the development of Chinese characters, the word "Xi" evolved from "two people shoulder to shoulder", which means double happiness.

In addition, "Xi" is used to represent a wedding, because it has both the meaning of beauty and joy and the relationship between husband and wife. In traditional culture, "Xi" is a symbol of the affection between husband and wife and lovers. The two words are placed side by side to form a whole, which shows the interdependence between two people.

Secondly, the meaning of "double happiness" and marriage, and the inherent meaning between them.

Double happiness refers to two blessings that will happen in the life of two people after marriage, one is the wedding itself, and the other is the happy life of both husband and wife. Just like a pair of champions won the competition, there will be not only gold medals but also bonuses at the award ceremony, which is a happy thing. Marriage is like a victory in a competition. In addition to a temporary celebration, it also represents the happiness of the newlyweds throughout their lives.

Another meaning of double happiness is to express blessings to married couples. The position of the two words just forms a mouth shape, which means that the blessing will always be on your lips, which means that the couple will have a happy day all their lives.

Furthermore, the meaning of double happiness can be understood from many levels.

The first is the personal level. Marriage is a breakthrough and sublimation for bachelors and single women, representing the beginning of growing up and getting married; For both men and women who are ready to get married, it is a warming of feelings. I hope two people can work together for tomorrow at a new starting point.

Followed by the family level. The wedding not only represents the love of the new couple, but also is a happy event for the family. Marriage is also the inheritance of genealogy and blood, which will make ancestors and future generations share joy. A marriage that can win honor for the family deserves formal celebration.

Finally, the social level. Due to the investment and extensive preparation of wedding and garden decoration, it also represents the contribution of newcomers and families to society. In marriage, families and individuals are connected with the social environment and jointly create a beautiful side of the world.

In traditional weddings, "Xi" is an inevitable part of double happiness. I wish the couple a happy life and happiness forever with double happiness, which not only expresses the blessings of the elders, but also gives them a bright future prospect. Marriage is a closed loop, and it needs the joint efforts of both sides to make the celebration and joy continue in the later life. By using the word "Xi", we express our blessings to the newlyweds, and more importantly, we give goodwill and courage to generations of new people.
