Six Taboos of Marriage Customs in China

The taboo of marriage is 1: after going to bed, find an underage boy to sleep with the groom on the eve of the wedding. Because tradition holds that "if you sleep in an empty bed, your husband will die." On the wedding day, before going to bed at night, everyone should try to stay away from the new bed, especially the new bed, which will be unlucky. Don't let people sit on the new bed on the wedding day. On the wedding day, the bride should not lie in bed at will, otherwise she will be ill in bed. 5: People who marry the Zodiac Tiger watch the ceremony. 6: When the bride goes out on the wedding day, the aunt and sister-in-law can't send each other. 7: When the bride leaves home on the wedding day, the more she cries, the better, because "no crying, no hair". 8. The bride's clothes should not have pockets, so as not to take away the wealth at home. 9: On the third day after marriage, the newlyweds bring gifts back to their parents' home to show their mothering. But remember that you need to get back to your husband's house before dark, and you can't spend the night at your mother's house. 10: within four months after marriage, the bride is not allowed to add any wedding, funeral and festive ceremonies to avoid celebration. 1 1: Never lend the bride's mirror to others. 12: within four months of marriage, unless it is necessary (such as honeymoon trip), it is forbidden for the bride to spend the night outside and make trouble in the bridal chamber. According to research, as a part of traditional wedding customs in China, it has a long history. Because it often happens in bridal chamber, it is called "disturbing bridal chamber", "disturbing bridal chamber" and "disturbing bridal chamber". Because the bride is the main object of this custom, it is also called "disturbing the bride" and "playing the bride", and it was also called "playing the bride" in the old society. In the Central Plains, there are usually activities such as biting apples, candy, walking on a wooden bridge and singing with women. In different areas, the content of activities is not exactly the same, but it is essential to throw a bed for new people. This custom began in the Han Dynasty and the pre-Qin period. There are two theories about the origin of the custom of sleeping together in China. One theory stems from exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters. According to legend, a long time ago, Ziweixing came down to earth one day and met a woman dressed in linen on the road, following a group of 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 arrived first and hid 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 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 noisy room 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 the couple 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 the East, when the groom enters the house, he will symbolically shoot an arrow in every corner of the new house, or make a virtual knife in every corner with a single knife in his hand, singing "Kill the demon once, twice, the first three times, the god four times, and leave quickly." A more common custom is to build ever-burning lamps in new houses. This is what the so-called "wedding night" means. Some scholars have studied that the custom of "listening to the room" is actually a protective measure to prevent ghosts from entering the bridal chamber. Another view on the origin of haunted houses is that haunted houses first appeared in the north, and at first they were mainly grooms, which is probably related to the living habits of the northern nationalities. They live by hunting and nomadism, which makes men very aggressive and brave. It can prove that a man is a qualified man when he is married. Remarriage: It is difficult for widows to remarry in the old society, and there is a proverb "Marry Jiro and start a career". If the burial date is agreed, you must leave home quietly in the dead of night and sneak out of the village (never pass through Houlongshan). Change shoes on the way to the sedan chair. Remarried widows are called "night bridge women". Details:/baike/fagui/hunsu/116117/kloc-0.
