What is the wedding custom in Nanchang? What are the taboos for dowry?

Let me tell you some important wedding customs in Nanchang! The marriage custom in Nanchang mainly includes several steps: entrusting media, changing stickers, choosing auspicious dates, engagement, employment and wedding. The custom of Nanchang is still relatively traditional and belongs to one of Chinese weddings.

Let's talk specifically about the marriage customs in Nanchang.

Media support: In ancient times, when men reached the age of 20 and women reached the age of 15, the family began to support some matchmakers to lead the red line for them. At this time, it is necessary to give some rewards to the matchmaker, which is what people call buying shoes.

Post-change: After the matchmaker matches the match, both parents agree to give the eight characters of both men and women to the matchmaker, and the man will ask the fortune teller to marry them with the eight characters to see if their eight characters match. In the past, you couldn't get married if you didn't agree with the eight characters. Now you can get married if you ask a fortune teller to resolve it, which is the so-called spending money to eliminate disasters.

Lucky choice: from success to engagement, employment, wedding, meeting the bride, please ask fortune tellers to choose the date in all aspects of marriage. Everyone wants to marry himself, and all related things are auspicious days.

Engagement: Engagement means that both men and women drink at home, that is, to let relatives and friends know their future daughter-in-law or son-in-law. In some places, it is a rule that elders should give red envelopes to younger generations. When you are engaged, you should also be clear about what you want.

Employment: Before marriage, the man needs to send a bride price to the woman's family, which is also called winning the lottery. These rules should be known to everyone in the family, so I won't focus on them here.

Wedding: On the day before the wedding, a simple wedding will be held, in which the man wears a crown and the woman wears a crown on her head, which is also called a crown ceremony. The groom should first kowtow to heaven and earth and ancestors to thank them for their constant blessing, and then kowtow to his parents to thank them for their upbringing and upbringing. Then you should kowtow to some of your elders and thank them for their patient guidance and teaching.

1. In general, the first day of marriage is not suitable for adults of both sexes to meet again. Just send a few adult trusted cronies to deliver the dowry, and the man's parents don't need to go out.

All dowry items and tools should be tied with red silk, which will be more auspicious and festive.
