West wife, also called Xi Niang, is one of the occupations of ancient women.

On the wedding day, accompany the bride in a sedan chair, all the way to the groom's house, and then accompany the bride into the bridal chamber after three worships. Before the groom enters the bridal chamber, he is responsible for teaching the bride how to serve her husband on the wedding night.

Different from modern bridesmaids, it is more different from a steady woman who delivers babies.
