Han wedding, also called Zhou wedding, originated in the Zhou Dynasty and is the embryonic form of Chinese wedding. Later Han weddings gradually evolved on the basis of Zhou weddings. The weekly wedding ceremony includes such procedures as cleaning ceremony, imprisonment ceremony, binding ceremony, paying tribute to the bride, and binding ceremony. Zan, emcee and deacon presided over the whole wedding. Weekend weddings are not celebrated or celebrated. What matters is the righteousness of husband and wife and the grace of marriage. I don't think this is a joke. According to legend, the earliest marriage relationship and wedding in China began with Fu's marriage system and Nu Wa's matchmaker's words. As "Jing Hua Yuan Wai Ji" said: "There was no difference between men and women in ancient times, and Tai Hao began to set up a wedding ceremony, with the skin of the couple as the gift." Since then, the couple's skin (paired deerskin) has become one of the classic wedding gifts. After that, in addition to the "wedding ceremony", we must also "tell our parents"; During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were festivals of "before welcoming the court" and "before welcoming the court". The Zhou Dynasty was an era of all-round development of etiquette, and a complete set of marriage etiquette was gradually formed. Yili has detailed regulations and a set of ceremonies.
