In ancient times, when getting married, worshipping heaven and earth did not only refer to heaven and earth, but also included parents or the most noble person in the family, and at the same time, both husband and wife should also bow to each other to express their willingness to spend the rest of their lives together, and when both men and women bowed, the woman generally bent her waist lower, and the man only bent his body slightly, indicating that the woman married and obeyed her husband, and everything in the future should obey her husband, but fortunately, this unequal worship has now been eliminated.

In ancient times, in some places, women had to cross a brazier before getting married and entering their in-laws' house, indicating that all the bad things on their bodies would be extinguished by the flames, so that the daughter-in-law would be prosperous and stable after entering her in-laws' house.

In ancient times, women had to sit in a sedan chair when they got married, unless the family conditions were too poor to afford or rent. The groom should shoot the top of the sedan chair with an arrow when receiving relatives, implying joy and auspiciousness.

When the first point is married, the woman's parents will pour a basin of water and say that the woman is married, and the second point will step on the brazier, indicating that the woman will have to follow the four virtues when she arrives at her in-law's house, and the third point is that the woman still has to check her identity, and the girl is not very pure.

Through the way of explanation, before marriage, there will be a visit to relatives, a ceremony, a bed before marriage, a hole in the house when marriage, and other customs and culture have been passed down to this day.

1. After the groom arrives at the bride's house, the bride's parents will sit with the groom for a while, and then the bride's sister and sister-in-law will appear on the stage, start to ask for red envelopes, and agree on the price of the noodles, which is generally negotiated in advance. When the wedding noodles begin, the groom should eat them quickly, and the bride's family will quickly grab them. The implication is to win the rich, so the two parties will try their best to tease and steal the happy face.

Under normal circumstances, the groom can only eat one bite, and the noodles are robbed.

Second, after eating the wedding noodles, the groom came to the bride's door, and the bride was ruined and did not open the door, and he had to take a red envelope to open the door. Of course, these red envelopes are all requested by the bride's family.

3. Door lock fee When the groom enters the house, the bride's parents have already locked the door, and if you want to marry the bride back, you have to pay the door lock fee, not give a red envelope, and do not open the door. Some smart grooms will arrange for someone to hold the door in advance and not let it be locked.

Fourth, three cannons When the groom has almost taken out the red envelope, the bride should get on the sedan chair, but the groom must put enough three cannons, and the firecrackers are longer than the other, so that the bride can get on the sedan chair.

Fifth, if you don't go back, you can't take the road when you get married, which means that husband and wife don't go back.

Sixth, grab the red quilt after the hole room On the night of the cave room, the groom and the bride will grab the only red quilt, and whoever grabs it will have the final say in the future. That's an interesting marriage custom in some of our rural villages.
