Shousheng

In Zuo Quan, before the wedding, the elders of the bride and groom, including grandpa, grandma, parents, uncles, aunts, aunts, all sit on the front steps. At this time, middle-aged men and women who like to play nearby are holding a small rolling pin and a small official, filling some corn flour in the official's promotion and holding it on the groom's father, mother, uncle, aunt, uncle and aunt in turn. Read: "promotion today, grandchildren next year." At the same time, Guan Sheng's corn flour was sprinkled on the old man's head and body.

wedding ceremony

(1) Fire and play music.

(2) the witness's speech (generally by the unit leaders or village cadres as witnesses)

(3) The host speaks (usually parents act as the host)

(4) guest representatives speak.

(5) The bride and groom speak. In this link, the bride and groom are often asked to introduce their love stories.

(6) The bride and groom worship heaven and earth (one worships heaven and earth, the other worships Gaotang, and the third worships husband and wife).

(7) The bride and groom kowtow to their elders. I didn't do complicated ceremonies before, but I was very cautious in kowtowing to my elders. Usually get married on the first day and hold a kowtow ceremony after breakfast the next day. The main relatives had to arrange accommodation and wait until the next day to pay the money. Nowadays, people leave after lunch, so kowtowing will also be done during or after the ceremony.

(8) The bride and groom enter the bridal chamber. After the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber, the two sides stick wedding flowers on the wall, which means "arranging flowers today and holding dolls next year"

(9) Performing arts programs. In the past, cultural programs were only performed during or before and after the ceremony, and the literary team left after the ceremony. In recent years, there have been new developments. On the night of the wedding, the host family should set up a simple stage in the street, and invite music classes or organize their own cultural activities, let off flowers and shoot guns, which is very lively.

(10) The wedding is over. Now many people in the city only kowtow in the yard and arrange the wedding in the hotel. Others employ professional hosts and theatrical performance teams from wedding companies.
