Question: When was the wedding of the ancients held?

Most ancient weddings were held at night.

It is a long-standing wedding custom of the Chinese nation to hold a wedding at night. According to a large number of historical records, in ancient China, sedan chairs were married after dusk, and even The Legend of the White Tiger said: "Those who call for marriage at dusk salute, so they are married." It means that at dusk, day and night alternate, and the moment when Yin and Yang meet, it is the best time to get married.

Extended data:

Getting married at night is closer to the wedding night, especially in the Qing Dynasty. Before the wedding, the groom usually toasts the guests first, and it takes a long time to pick up the bride, so the wedding is held in the evening.

However, there is also a saying that "marry early and sacrifice to heaven late", and "marry faint" is homophonic, which is also the best example of ancient people getting married at night, indicating that women have to change their surnames after the wedding at dusk.
