I don't know when it originated, but it is very popular now! The manhole cover represents bad luck. Usually, the old people tell me to avoid the manhole cover or cross. Don't step on the manhole cover to avoid bad luck.
Not to mention such an important event as marriage, everything is auspicious, so the manhole covers are covered with red paper, on the one hand to ward off evil spirits, and on the other hand to prevent newcomers from stepping on them. If there is a manhole cover in the middle of the road, then a large group of married people must not turn around and spread red paper to avoid the manhole cover. Even if they step on it, they don't think it's a manhole cover and can't provoke bad luck.
In fact, this is a kind of wedding invitation, but because it is only once in a lifetime, everyone wants to do everything best, so everyone has done a little. Love story legend: A long time ago, a boy and a girl fell in love.
Boys are the masters of rich families, and girls are the girls of poor families. The boy's family doesn't allow them to combine. They eloped together, but they were caught back. The rich man's family secretly threw the girl into the well.
The rich man's family found a relative for the young master, but the young master didn't agree. The rich man and the rich woman killed the poor girl when they said no, and the young master was forced to agree to protect the poor girl.
On the night when the young master got married and entered the bridal chamber, the murdered poor girl turned into a ghost and came out of the well to see the young master. Therefore, the traditional folk wedding manhole covers are covered with red paper to seal the well in order to ward off evil spirits.
