Very worthy of everyone's blessing. This is a good idea arranged by God. Later, they will live together and become a loving couple. Many ancient wedding hosts would say "I wish the couple a happy marriage". They seem to be made for each other.

We hope that the new couple can advance and retreat together, grow old together and love each other for life. People in ancient times also wished to get married in this way, and so do we now.

China Ancient Wedding Process
Different from modern weddings and western weddings, ancient weddings in China have their own specific processes.
Specifically, the ancient wedding began with the proposal. After proposing marriage, matchmaking and engagement, you can enter the formal wedding, such as sedan chair passing through the brazier, archery, meeting the bride, drinking a glass of wine and thanking the media.
Although in contemporary society, it seems that the process of ancient wedding is complicated and complicated, but every link of the process represents a blessing to the couple, indicating that they have a bright future and a bright life. Ancient wedding ceremony, from ancient times? Six gifts? (one move, two people, three naji, four moves, five invitations and six marriages) evolved.
Get up the next day, the groom must open the door. On that day, the man prepared a sedan chair for his uncle, who returned to his new home in A-mei to have a rest after three refreshments. At lunch, please sit down with the chief uncle and say? Kissing wine? Do not use hairy crabs. After the banquet, pick up the groom in a sedan chair, accompany the bride back to her family, and say? Back to the door? . With a sedan chair? Look at the mother disk? A pile of things. In-laws family dinner? Have a son-in-law Avoid using rock sugar soft-shelled turtle. When the banquet came back, as soon as the bride got out of the car door, the noisy guests paved twenty or thirty benches from the front of the car to the new door in advance. Xianqiao? Want the groom to help the bride from? On the bridge? However, the guests smiled and urged, and when they were steady, they arrived at the new house? Bridge head? Fold another bench on the bench, hand over an oil bag, and let the bride walk past with the oil bag in her bite, which is euphemistically called? Carp yue longmen? . The third day? On the third day, cook instead of me and wash your hands to make bridal soup? The bride cooks and gives the cooked sugar noodles to her neighbors.
At the full moon, after the wedding, my parents-in-law sent someone to give me a gift. What does that mean? Full moon disk? . I also sent a lot of gift certificates with different amounts to reward wedding personnel for my husband's family. Is it vulgar? Flower smile ticket? .
In the old society, there was a great disparity between the rich and the poor, so the poor cut a double happiness word on cardboard and pasted it with gold paper. As soon as the wall was hung, a pair of fireworks and a lame sedan chair got married.
What is the difference between the earliest wedding in ancient times and today's wedding?
As one of the important life etiquette, wedding is of great significance in gaining social recognition and blessing, and it is also the most important milestone in a person's life.
All nations and countries have their traditional weddings. Today we will talk about the difference between the earliest wedding in ancient times and today's wedding.
First, the bride price is different.
Today's wedding can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. In Zhou Li, there are rules for wedding ceremonies, namely? Take, ask the name, Najib, take, invite, welcome? Six links, also known as? Six gifts? .
In ancient times, the bride price was originally a small part of the wedding. However, in modern weddings, the bride price has become the most important and essential thing, and it is also the thing that everyone cares most about.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the bride price for marriage was generally only five pieces of deer skin, which had little practical significance, but more importantly, its internal significance. Because the silk as a gift at that time was colored, it was called? Color? Later, gradually formed the bride price.
Today's wedding ceremony needs to pay more attention to reality. More seriously, the social bride price has begun to deteriorate and become a comparison project for some people. More money, better cars and more luxurious weddings. These people became slaves of money and forgot what the original meaning of the wedding was.
Second, the form is different.
Ancient weddings were affected? Three cardinal guides and five permanent members? The bondage of arranged marriage made it impossible for ancient people to choose their own marriage partners. So-called? Father when I was a child? Parents' words are always right, and children must obey, so marriage is naturally decided by parents.
Furthermore, ancient people needed a matchmaker to get married, just as the book of songs said:? You must tell your parents how to get married. How about finding a wife? No matchmaker, no marriage. ? It means that if you want to get married, you have to get your parents' consent first, and then you have to go through a matchmaker. Without these two things, you can never get married.
But it's different now. People are free to fall in love and get married independently, and have put the past into practice? Parents' orders, matchmaker's words? Give it up. As long as married couples have a firm heart for each other, the power of love will be endless and everything will be fine in the end.
Third, the atmosphere is different.
Under the bondage of feudal ethics, the unequal status of men and women in ancient times directly led to marriage. Husband as a wife? It vividly illustrates this point. Men are superior to women, and husband and wife are unequal.
In ancient times, women married chickens, married dogs and followed dogs. Once she gets married, her fate is sealed, and there is no room for resistance. But ancient men could have three wives and four concubines, which is simply unfair.
After marriage, if you meet a bad husband, the situation of ancient women is very miserable. Take Liu Lanzhi in Peacock Flying Southeast as an example. She worked diligently and conscientiously for her mother-in-law, but at last she was divorced by her mother-in-law, which was really irritating.
Now, people have long abandoned the idea of being wrong and backward in feudal society. Now the status of women has improved, and men and women are equal in marriage. Women can go out to earn money to support their families, no worse than men.
Conclusion: Of course, ancient weddings are not all bad. They also have an excellent side, which can reflect the fine traditions and virtues of the Chinese nation. For this, we just need to take the essence and discard the dross.
