What is a traditional wedding like in China?

"Saddle" and "An" have the same sound, taking its "peace" long-term meaning. It is mostly placed on the threshold of the cave room, indicating that the bride crosses the saddle and keeps her peace for a lifetime. When the bride's front foot enters the threshold, and the back foot is raised and has not fallen, then the saddle is removed by the whole person with parents and children, which is just in line with the meaning of "a strong woman does not marry a second husband, and a good horse does not deserve a double saddle".

In ancient times, the bride wore a phoenix crown and a curtain at the same time covered her head with a red cloth to cover her shame and avoid evil, and the red color took the auspicious meaning.

On the day of the wedding, the bride's sister or bridesmaid holds a red umbrella to protect the bride when the bride goes out, meaning "spreading the leaves", and scatters rice into the sky and the top of the umbrella.

Although paper invitations are almost replaced by electronic invitations, if you want to go through a traditional wedding, a Chinese-style invitation can improve the overall taste of the wedding.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Chinese red at the wedding scene can be regarded as the most eye-catching protagonist in addition to the newlyweds, whether it is the newlyweds' families or relatives and friends present, everyone pins their blessings on this "Chinese red".

In a traditional wedding, friends and family gather together to celebrate the couple, and friends and relatives who don't usually get together can also get together to exchange feelings.

The groom wears a champion robe, which is a variation of the red nine-grade official uniform, and the hat is a black gauze hat with palace flowers. The bride wears a phoenix crown, the phoenix crown is a phoenix model decorated with silver or other textures, and the xia curtain is a red shawl, generally speaking, the bride wears a red silk jacket and trousers, embroidered shoes, embroidered mandarin ducks, plum blossoms, lotus flowers and other auspicious patterns.

The family who marries a daughter, whether rich or poor, is very particular about the wedding dress. Wearing a red jacket inside, embroidered shoes on the feet, a tassel streamer at the waist, an embroidered skirt under it, wearing a "phoenix crown" woven with pompoms, pearls, jade silk pendants and other decorations, and then draped on the shoulders with a brocade embroidered with various auspicious patterns - "Xia Wei".

Themed weddings are beautiful, but every detail needs to be thought out by yourself.

1. The ancient Chinese believed that dusk was an auspicious time, so they would perform the ceremony of marrying a wife at dusk, so the etiquette of the union of husband and wife was called"Faint prayer", which later evolved into weddings. Chinese love red and consider it a symbol of good luck. Therefore, the traditional wedding customs always use bright red to set off the festive and warm atmosphere.

Auspiciousness, blessings, and filial piety have become the main themes of the wedding, and almost every etiquette in the wedding is permeated with Chinese philosophical thoughts.

2. According to legend, the earliest marriage relationship and wedding ceremony in China began with the Fuxi family system and the matchmaking contract of Nuwa. "Tongjian Outer Chronicle" contains:"In ancient times, there was no difference between men and women, and Taihao began to marry, taking the skin as a gift.
