Setting off firecrackers at a wedding, just like setting off firecrackers at the Spring Festival, is to drive away evil spirits. In the past, men married women without setting off firecrackers, and then two girls fought for a son-in-law. Legend has it that a family named Wang married this son. Dawn is about to break in the east, and the Wang family courtyard is brightly lit, as bright as day. The son is wearing a red robe and smiling all over his face. The Wangs are old and young, and four families in the street are waiting for the arrival of the bride! In Shi Mao, the busy guest carrying plates and pots called out, "The bride has arrived. Come and see." With the shouts, the elders of the Wang family and the "Yue Lao" went out to meet them one after another. Cheers, laughter and praises came one after another, and the beautiful suona sound was even louder. The bride walked shyly into the yard in the crowd. Just as he was preparing to pay homage to the bride and groom, the housekeeper suddenly ran in in a panic and said to the Wangs, "A big sedan chair was carried out outside and blocked in front of the door, saying that he had brought my son to pay homage to the couple." Master Wang was shocked, so he sent someone to find "Yue Lao". Hearing this, "Yue Lao" also felt puzzled, very puzzled. I thought to myself, "I'm talking about marriage. Why did you come in a sedan chair? " "Yue Lao" feels strange that the two brides are identical and twins. Answer the question exactly the same, not bad. "Yue Lao" had no choice but to beg the Wangs to stop the bride and groom from worshiping heaven and earth and take them to the county government for judgment. The county grandfather went to the hall in the street, and the two brides gave way to each other, arguing with each other that one was true and the other was false, which made the county grandfather dizzy for a while. The county grandfather thought for a moment: "I want to erect a two-foot-high pillar here, and whoever climbs up first will marry the son of the Wangs;" "Anyone who can't climb up will be kicked out." At the command, the bride who arrived first climbed up like a whirlwind, and the latter was too anxious to get up. At this time, only a few deafening firecrackers and thunder were heard, and then several loud bows and arrows were fired at the bride at the top of the column. Everyone saw with their own eyes that a wisp of smoke went straight into the sky and the body of a fox fell. It turns out that the first "bride" was changed by a fox. Later, people learned that in order to prove who is mortal and who is demon, the county grandfather used a good trick to let the two brides climb a two-foot high pillar. In fact, it is very difficult for a woman to climb a two-foot high post. Because one of them can easily climb to the top of the pillar, the county grandfather decisively decided that he was a demon and immediately ordered someone to shoot an arrow to catch the demon. Since then, when people get married, they always set off firecrackers first to show that they can shake off evil spirits and make a fortune. This auspicious symbol has been handed down to this day.
