In ancient times, the steps of marriage of princes and nobles (not from the Qing Dynasty, but from the monarch) were followed by a series of steps such as paying homage to the palace.

In ancient times, there were "Six Rites of the Duke of Zhou", and "Marriage of Rites" described six ceremonies of aristocratic wedding: first, the man proposed to his wife's house with geese as a gift; Second, ask the name, the man will prepare the goose and ask the woman's name; Third, Naji, after the man retrieved the female name, he went to the ancestral temple for divination, and Bude auspicious backed up the goose to go to the woman's house; Fourth, the husband sends a dowry to formally confirm the marriage relationship; 5. Please ask the date. If the man is not lucky, send the woman to ask for the consent of the wedding date; 6. Wedding Ceremony: On the wedding day, the man goes to the woman's house by car to get married. This is the wedding ceremony of ancient nobles.

Princes' weddings are naturally much more gorgeous. For example, when the Duke of Han in the Zhou Dynasty got married, the wedding procession was "Bailiang Pupeng, Baluan Qiang Qiang", and the farewell relatives were also "like clouds", and the front door was bright.

The emperor's wedding is a national ceremony. When the emperor got married, the procedure followed the six rites, but it was extremely extravagant. The minister of civil and military affairs is dressed in royal robes and has a straight pen. On the second day after the wedding, the emperor held a celebration ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and hosted a banquet for the civil and military officials. They congratulated the empress dowager and the emperor and sent a note to the empress. The emperor issued an imperial edict, and the queen was sealed at the wedding, which was announced to the world.
