In ancient times, horses were very precious property, especially in wartime. The quality of war horses determines the strength of the army to a certain extent. Although the requirements for horses in some dynasties were relaxed, ordinary people could raise horses, but only wealthy families could afford them, and these horses were also domestic horses, which could not be compared with war horses.
Therefore, rich people will bring horses when they get married, which is also a symbol of wealth and status. Red flowers are hung immediately, so that the whole wedding procession is vast, and people will know that it is a rich family at a glance.
However, not all dynasties used Malay to greet their relatives, and ancient men only used Malay to greet their relatives in later dynasties. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were more cars greeting relatives. At that time, luxury cars were a common mode of transportation for wealthy families, and it was great to be able to use this mode of transportation to attend weddings.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a new way to greet the bride, that is, sitting in a sedan chair. Sedan chairs are usually carried by four people. If it's a big sedan chair, eight people will carry it. So there are eight people carrying a big sedan chair. Later, they gradually combined, with the bride in a sedan chair and the groom riding a horse.
People still greet their families in this way. Now everyone is popular with retro, and they are used to western-style weddings. Nowadays, many young people choose Chinese wedding when they get married. The retro ceremony has its own characteristics and charm.
