Due to the inconvenience of the bride's wedding dress style and trailing, as well as the purity and time control of the wedding ceremony, some weddings in northern China now separate the tea ceremony from the wedding ceremony and make another private family ceremony, so the tea ceremony no longer appears in the wedding ceremony.
Chinese weddings still need tea ceremony. Since it is a traditional etiquette, it has its own corresponding process and etiquette inheritance.
First, change the ceremony of offering tea: at the wedding, one or two people meet each other's parents with the same ceremony and offer tea to each other's parents, which is renamed "mom and dad". This process is called changing mouth and offering tea. Wedding tea is not only a respect for both parents, but also a gratitude to their parents.
Second, the preparation of tea raw materials
1, the tea set for the wedding needs to be carefully selected by the newlyweds, or you can pay the wedding company to make it for you.
2. Cover the bowl and cup. You can also choose a set of teapot teacups without bowls and cups. The number of these teacups needs to be arranged according to the actual number of parents present. Note: the teacup of a single-parent family cannot have another teacup! (There are also cases where remarried spouses * * * accept tea, according to the arrangement of the Lord. )
3. Tea sets should avoid longevity, dragon, pine, cypress and other patterns. Please choose festive colors (gold characters on a red background and scarlet letters on a white fetus) and festive patterns (such as peony, phoenix, magpie and happy characters).
4. Tea: There are no clear requirements for tea. You can choose or choose a tea with a festive name according to your parents' tastes and seasons.
5. Jujube: It represents good luck, the early birth of your son, and dates with jujube stones. Jujube stone is a seed, representing future generations.
6. Lotus seeds: representing the principle of "lotus", lotus seeds can't be cut, and cutting them in half means separation, which is unlucky; You can't peel it, because the peeled lotus seeds are white, which is contrary to the festive and auspicious culture.
7. Boiling water: Make tea before the ceremony according to the needs of the season and the ambient temperature. /kloc-after more than 0/0 minutes, the tea was neither cold nor hot, just right. You must make sure that the materials for changing tea are ready before you go on stage! Pour more than half a cup of boiling water, not too full and not less than half a cup.
8, sugar: sweet meaning. But! At present, there are many "three highs" problems in the physical indicators of elders, so there is no sugar in tea! Source network
