The netizen of the forum replied: How much do you know about candy in the story of candy? As the name implies, it is the candy used for happy events. China people have always listed it as four happy events: the wedding night, the long drought and the reunion in a foreign land. Among them, the wedding night is the greatest joy, and only in this joy will we tell others with sugar that we are happy together. Because sugar is sweet, it symbolizes that married couples are also sweet, so the function of candy is to tell others that we are married and invite others to share our sweetness. Once upon a time, when couples got married, they always bought a lot of candy in bulk and distributed it to neighbors, villagers and guests to show their affection. Even in some places, the custom is to sprinkle wedding candy all the way, hold the bride in the door and pave the way with wedding candy. These customs continue in many places. Gradually, people demand not only candy, but also a decent and affordable one. It is too wasteful to sprinkle sugar, which is not accepted by city people. So the custom of wrapping candy in plastic bags appeared. Remember our father? People who got married in the sixties and seventies all had this experience. They bought different brands of candy, put them in red plastic bags and sent them out in two packs each. Generally, each candy contains eight sweets, two of which are the same, and they are all of four flavors or brands. This is called assorted wedding candy. As for the packaging of wedding candy, it was originally wrapped in red paper as a gift. Later, it developed into repurchasing plastic bags, borrowing small type printers from factories, and printing big happy characters on the bags. In the end, plastic bags printed with red happy characters were sold. It is still a pleasure to think of these old memories. Starting from the rest day, two families who are about to become two in-laws get together to talk about their family. There is a large plate of candy on the ground, with bags of wedding candy on the side. From time to time, they make fun of the new couple who are about to become husband and wife ... I don't know when Xitang began an epoch-making revolution. The original eight-pack wedding candy became six, and later it became two. Xitang began to go into battle lightly, but the pursuit of brand was competitive. People are no longer satisfied with traditional toffee, but chocolate. At the same time, the content of candy is changing, and the appearance of candy is changing with each passing day. People are no longer satisfied with plastic bags, so paper packaging came into being. It turned out to be just a square box, a candy box with happy words or bows printed on it; After that, people's requirements for candy boxes became higher and higher, so there were boxes that were different from the traditional sense, such as spherical, sedan chair-shaped, cake-shaped, and bag-shaped ... The candy boxes also began to enter the elegant hall and even became a small highlight at the wedding. But, you know what? While China's wedding candy is changing, western countries also have wedding candy, and their wedding candy is changing with each passing day. It turns out that westerners always prepare some small gifts for their relatives and friends as rewards after dinner to thank them for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend weddings. Generally speaking, people in China also use candy or chocolate to express the sweetness of their wedding. Please share it with everyone. Generally, you always choose egg-shaped chocolates or sweets, put a few in each plastic bag and distribute them to every relative. Later, people found that wedding candy was not expensive but expensive. It is really helpful for a successful wedding to be remembered for a long time. As a result, a very feminine lace wrapped chocolate emerged as the times require. It is not only a wedding candy, but also a small ornament on the wedding day. After taking it home, relatives and friends are reluctant to open it, but put it on the desk as a decoration. In this way, the wedding of the newlyweds will be remembered. When the pace of life began to get faster and the office culture began to rise, people found two boxes of wedding candy on their desks from time to time, but they didn't know which colleague in the company had entered the marriage hall. As a result, customized wedding candy boxes with the names of new people became popular. This not only shows that this is a unique wedding candy for two people, but also sends a message to the people around them, announcing that they are married. Therefore, once this customized candy box appears, new people will rush to send it, and this candy-loving wind has also blown from the west to the east, which has a great international trend. However, westerners send wedding candy differently from us. Generally, when new people order wedding candy, they will order many different colors. Most of them have four or five color boxes, which are placed in rows on the long platform at the exit of the banquet hall. After the banquet, the guests will take two boxes on the stage, whichever color they like. This not only avoids the embarrassment of giving candy during the dinner, but also allows guests to have their own tastes. Is this sugar-loving culture worth learning from? Wedding cakes and sweets are traditional wedding foods. Although the wedding forms are becoming more and more eclectic, buying and sending wedding cakes is still a "prescribed action" for many newcomers. Here, let's take a look at the "story" in this wedding cake. I believe it is interesting.
