There are many traditional customs in Chinese weddings, and wedding bags are one of them.

With the passage of time, the process of young people getting married is not much, but many old-school areas still retain this marriage custom. Come on, let me tell you about the wedding bag.

The wedding gift bag is prepared by the woman's family and belongs to one of the bride's dowry. The bride's home is wrapped in red cloth, with patterns such as mandarin ducks playing in water or dragons and phoenixes appearing auspicious, and the bride's wedding dress, wedding shoes, prepared headdress, double happiness characters, red dragons and phoenixes, etc. What the bride wants to wear. In addition, four apples and happy money should be prepared and divided into two packages.

At the same time, I have to exchange two apples in my bag for two apples at home and bring them back to my husband's house. When the groom brings relatives from the woman's house, the bridesmaid and the best man bring one each. On the way to the man's house, the luggage could not be tied.

At the groom's house, the luggage has been put in the bride's red suitcase, and then the unpacking ceremony will be held. First of all, the bride's brother can open the box, and her mother-in-law will prepare the money when opening the box.

After taking out the luggage, the mother-in-law and the bride sit together, the mother-in-law turns over the luggage, and the bride explains. Because the bride's family put the bag inside out, that is, the pattern is inside. Mother-in-law opened the bag and turned it into her arms. When the things arrived in her arms, she spread out the cloth of the bag, turned it over, wrapped it, and walked out with the patterned side.

Mother-in-law should open the clothes in the bag, rummage through the shoes, find out the money at the bottom of the wardrobe and the passbook of the bride's family dowry for everyone to see. Every time she digs out some money, the bride has to explain how much it is and what it is.

Of course, the amount of money with different names is different, but most of them are lucky numbers with six bands and eight, such as 8888, 1688, 14000, which means "get rich, get rich all the way, all the best, etc." Mother-in-law also wants to give the bride the same amount of money one by one, which is called "matching money", which is to bless the two families and the new couple.

When everything was ready, her mother-in-law wrapped her luggage and put on the new shoes that the bride bought for her in front of everyone. At this time, the custom of luggage is completed.

That's it for the wedding bag. If you are going to hold a traditional wedding in China, these wedding customs should not be sloppy.
