Why does the bride take an umbrella when she gets married?
1, the beautiful meaning of spreading branches and leaves
There is a saying that holding a red umbrella has a good meaning of spreading branches and leaves, because the umbrella homophonic "spreading" is to bless the newlyweds to have more children, which is generally in harmony with the century-old lily. The early birth of a precious child represented by jujube and longan is a type of meaning.
2. Drive away evil spirits and protect the meaning of evil spirits
In addition to spreading the beautiful meaning of leaves and leaves, there is also a saying that playing a red umbrella when getting married is to protect the bride and to exorcise evil spirits. Because umbrellas are useful in traditional culture, the bride always dresses beautifully on the wedding day, so playing an umbrella when picking up the bride can cover her face and also play a protective role.
3, instead of red hijab
There used to be a red veil to cover the bride's face when she got married, but now it is gradually gone, so a substitute, that is, a red umbrella, can play a role in replacing the red veil.
4. Don't contend with heaven
In ancient times, it was said that the bride had a high status and was a noble existence on her wedding day, but no matter how noble and big the bride was, it was impossible to surpass the sky. So she has to hold a red umbrella, so that she can avoid it and show that she is not competing with heaven, which is awe of heaven.
