Felting is an essential part of Luoyang wedding. In the old society, two people on the groom's side, with red thread tied on their chests and red felt cloth in their hands, walked on both sides in front of the sedan chair. When they meet wells, ponds, rivers, bridges, big trees, big stones, forks, graves, etc. They need to cover with red cloth and set off firecrackers to drive away evil spirits and protect new people from their influence. When you meet a team where both of them are married, you should stop and ask each other whose "combination" is big and whose "combination" is small, and give the red line on your chest to each other. As soon as they arrive at the bride's house, the carpet paver will set off firecrackers to let the bride's house know that the groom is coming. You have to be photographed by a feller when you leave. When the bride arrives at the groom's house, before getting off the sedan chair, the carpet paver should light a long firecracker and put it around the sedan chair, three times around the sedan chair and three times upside down. It's called Polygonum. At the bride's house, the carpet paver should protect his own carpet, because at this time, the bride's house can take the carpet away, and once the carpet is taken away, the groom can't take the bride away from her family. At this time, the man needs to pay to redeem the felt.

The main job of felting is to ward off evil spirits for newcomers. It can be said that this is an obvious example of China people's insecurity. Because marriage is a big event, in order to ensure the smooth progress of this matter, all possible interference factors must be eliminated. In trees, rocks, water, forks in the road and other places, there may be evil spirits, heresies and ghosts, which will cause harm to newcomers at any time, so they must be eliminated, so the custom of adding felt appeared.

Suffering China people always feel that there are countless mysterious forces around them, which may affect people's normal life at any time. Under the influence of this thought that the outside world is very dangerous, China people are cautious and afraid of the invasion of evil spirits, so various taboos and witchcraft spread. There are also some rumors, for example, the bad guys want to take people's souls, and the reason why they spread quickly and are believed is the influence of this dangerous idea from outside.
