Why do you worship chickens?

The old custom of "the rooster worships the bride" mainly means that the groom can't be present on the wedding day for various reasons, and the rooster marries the bride.

Meizhou is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. Before liberation, many people went out to make a living. Most men who "go too far" are boys of fifteen or sixteen. They left their homes and went out to make a living. When they reach the age of marriage, let the matchmaker in their hometown go to their hometown as a matchmaker. However, when the date was set and the formal wedding was held, these young men could not afford to go back to their hometown to get married. At this time, it is necessary to find a rooster to temporarily replace the bride and groom who are thousands of miles away from home at the wedding. This is "replacing the husband with a chicken"-the rooster pays homage to the court.
