Why was there a cave house in ancient times, and what did it mean to enter a cave house in ancient t

In ancient times, entering the cave house refers to the ceremony of two people entering a new house after the marriage of the newlyweds.

In some traditions, it is not necessarily immediately after the wedding to have a room, but rather a period of time after the marriage before the couple has sex, which is called a round house. Some of them are only binding after they go to the cave house. Thus, the cave room represents a progress in the sexual relationship between two people.

Judging from historical data, the term "cave room" first appeared in Sima Xiangru's "Changmen Fu", which describes the bleakness of Empress Chen, who was snubbed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the harem and kept the empty room alone: "Hang the bright moon to take care of yourself, and spend the night in the cave room." Here, the cave room does not yet represent the marriage room, but refers to the dark, luxurious and cold deep palace.

More precisely, in the Han Dynasty, the term cave house actually referred to the palatial residence of the princes and nobles.

Probably because in the early days we lived in caves, people were not particularly familiar with architecture at that time, so they could only choose to use natural caves as houses, and later extended to cave houses.

Because in ancient times, men and women lived together in caves, so no matter what kind of houses were built in the back, they were collectively called cave houses

In fact, it is similar to ancient times, and generally if those humans take a fancy to the woman they like, they will move her to their own hole.

In order to prevent robbery, there were many wars in ancient times, and robbers and bandits often robbed marriages, and specially found some caves and waited for the cave room to come out again, and the water was already in the boat at this time.

Because in ancient times, people dug a cave outside, and they and their wives hid in it to complete the marriage, and returned to their homes on the second day, so that the bride officially became their wives, so it was called a cave house.

This is because the monogamous system was practiced at that time, and in ancient times, when weddings were held, there were generally three ceremonies, and the last was to send them to the cave room, and this word also came from the poem "The Gentleman Thinks and Acts".

The haunted cave house is one of the traditional Chinese folk customs, which is mainly a fun activity carried out by newlyweds after entering the cave house, aiming to celebrate the joy of Naihong and enhance the relationship between husband and wife. In ancient times, there were two main aspects of the burial intention of the cave house

1.Expressing blessings: In ancient times, it was believed that newlyweds needed to be blessed by the gods and relatives after entering the cave house. Therefore, the haunted cave house is often accompanied by various rituals and activities, such as hanging red cloths, beating gongs and drums, lighting firecrackers, etc., to express blessings and joy to the newlyweds.

2.Strengthen the relationship between husband and wife: Another purpose of the haunted house is to strengthen the relationship between the newlyweds.

Newlyweds are usually not very familiar with each other due to differences in age and cultural background. Through a series of games, fun and personality tests, the haunting room allows the newlyweds to get to know each other better and enhance their feelings for each other.

In short, as an important part of traditional Chinese folk customs, the haunted cave house not only has the meaning of expressing blessings, but also a way to promote the relationship between husband and wife. In modern society, the haunted house is still a unique and interesting memory for many newlyweds.
