Where did the word bridal chamber come from?

The origin of the bridal chamber The traditional marriage in China is characterized by its grand etiquette and elaborate scenes. Generally, you have to go through the procedures of marriage proposal, engagement, marriage and making trouble in the bridal chamber. The climax is that after the relatives and friends and the bride and groom frolic in the bridal chamber on the wedding night, the couple go to bed hand in hand. In the old society, some fallacies and heresies were bred in this process, because most of them occurred in bridal chambers, so they were called disturbing houses, bridal chambers and new houses. Because this custom takes the bride as the main object of amusement, it is also called teasing the bride and teasing the bride. In the old society, it was also called a play woman. There are two views on the origin of the custom of disturbing houses in China. One theory stems from exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters. According to legend, a long time ago, Zixing came to the world and met a woman from Pima Dai Xiao on the road, following a wedding procession. Seeing that the devil was waiting for an opportunity to do evil, he followed him to the groom's house, only to find that the woman had already arrived first and was hiding in the bridal chamber. When the bride and groom were about to enter the bridal chamber after worshipping heaven and earth, Zixing stood at the door and refused to let them in, saying that there was a devil hidden inside. They asked him how to exorcise demons. He put forward: "The devil is most afraid of many people, and the devil will not dare to do evil." So, the groom invited people to play and laugh in the bridal chamber and drive away evil spirits with laughter. Sure enough, in the fifth watch, the devil finally escaped. It can be seen that the bridal chamber was shrouded in the color of exorcism and disaster avoidance from the beginning. The custom of exorcising evil spirits in bridal chambers is spread all over the country. Before someone enters the bridal chamber, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the groom must sleep in the bridal chamber the night before, and ask two girls to take a photo of the bridal chamber with red candles in their hands in advance; Tianjin people ask the blowing team to blow in the new house for good luck. It is still very important to drive away the evil spirits in the house after the newcomers enter the house. For example, in Dongsheng, the groom symbolically shoots an arrow at every corner of the new house after entering the room, or draws a knife in every corner with a single knife in his hand, and sings: "Cut the demon once, twice, three times, and four times." A more common custom is to build ever-burning lamps in new houses. This is what the so-called "wedding night" means. Some scholars believe that the custom of listening to the room is essentially a protective measure to prevent ghosts from entering the bridal chamber.
