1. What are the procedures for Chinese weddings?
1, sedan chair set off
Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums and suona, the bride was carried out by her brother or cousin, put in a sedan chair and set off firecrackers. At this time, overseas Chinese began to set out. Now the distance between sedan chairs is just a formality, just a few laps. Unless the two families live close to each other in the same city, porters will be exhausted.
2, across the brazier and archery
When the groom arrived at his door, he stretched out his bow and shot three red arrows at the door. Then the bride was helped down by the matchmaker and crossed the brazier placed at the door, meaning to drive away evil spirits all the way.
3. Meet the bride and have a drink
After the brazier is over, some areas have to cross saddles and so on, which means that the couple will live a safe and happy life after marriage. Then the groom lifted the bride's red veil with a scale wrapped in red cloth, and then the couple began a formal memorial ceremony, one for heaven and one for the high hall, and three couples paid homage to each other. After the meeting, I had a glass of wine, and finally I changed my mind and offered Gaotang tea. At this time, the scene was very touching.
4, empathy and thanks to the media
Nowadays, many people like to have a wedding in the bridal chamber. For example, newlyweds cut off some hair from each other, tie a knot and wrap it in red cloth as a token of their relationship to show their marriage. Then their mothers lit the dragon and phoenix candles, and the couple began to exchange gifts, such as jewelry and books. Finally, the matchmaker took out raw jiaozi for the bride to eat, and then asked the bride: Is it raw? The bride replied: health. It means that the bride gives birth early.
