It has had a far-reaching impact on China, neighboring countries and the world. At the same time, China is constantly absorbing advanced and rich foreign cultures. However, many people in China love the ancient wedding in China. They pursue simple marriage relationship in ancient weddings and love wedding culture and costume culture.
What was the wedding process in ancient times?
First, propose and get engaged. As far as the wedding process in ancient China is concerned, marriage proposal and engagement are two important processes, which still exist in some parts of China, especially in some remote and backward places. In ancient China, parents had the final say in children's marriage, which fully reflected Confucianism, but this thought is very harmful today.
The matchmaker will go to the woman's house to match the matchmaker, and then the woman's house will calculate the birthdays of both men and women. If there is no mutual restraint, the families of both men and women agree to enter the engagement link. In the process of engagement, the man will pay the bride price commonly known today, and the woman's family will give it back accordingly.
Second, get married. In the ancient wedding process in China, an important wedding process after engagement is to get married, which requires a grand wedding ceremony, such as the groom going to the bride's house to pick up the bride, getting on the sedan chair, and then the bride will cover her head and face, enter the wedding scene, worship the groom, parents and have a drink.
Finally, when they return to the bridal chamber, the groom lifts the bride's hood, and they can be very much in love in the bridal chamber. In addition, after they get married, there is also the custom of adding doors to the woman's house, and there are also some important etiquette. After all this, the bride will cook for her parents-in-law on the third day after she marries the groom.
