The origin of bridesmaids and groomsmen:
Since the Zhou Dynasty, in order to maintain social stability, people began to form husband and wife through marriage, and the role of bridesmaid began at this time, and bridesmaids played a certain role in the bride. In folk customs, bridesmaids are called "Xi Niang", whose duty is to pray for happiness for married people, while in the old society of Beijing.
The maid of honor has another name, called "Mrs. Qin Ying". Moreover, this "bride-to-be" must have a spouse, be legally married, have children and have in-laws, because people think that such a person as a "bridesmaid" will bring happiness to those who are about to get married.
In addition to accompanying and taking care of the bride, the bridesmaid should also help the groom's mother dress up the day before the wedding and lead the bride and groom into the bridal chamber until the wedding ceremony is completed.
In the old society, people usually wanted two "Xi Niang", and they must be beautiful and eloquent. When choosing the best man, you usually only need to choose one, just like the groom's foil role.
