Traditional wedding mirror
China is known as the country of etiquette, and many traditional customs have been handed down from ancient times to the present. Take marriage as an example. Men and women already have a lot of etiquette before they get married, and there are also many taboos and stresses on the day of the ceremony.

Take marriage as an example. Many brides will hold a bronze mirror on their wedding day. Generally speaking, these bronze mirrors are so old that most people don't have them at home. On that day, they often have to borrow or rent it and return it after the wedding. These bronze mirrors are heavy,

Now it looks very contemporary. A red rope is usually tied on a bronze mirror to represent happiness, and the bride will hang the red rope on her chest or pin it on her waist. There are also "Six Rites". Although it is simplified a lot now, it still maintains the previous practice in many rural areas.

They don't have good mirrors now, so bronze mirrors have always been a must for brides when they get married. This mirror will accompany a married woman for the rest of her life, and the joint use of husband and wife symbolizes harmony and beauty.

If a person's other half dies, people will divide the bronze mirror into two parts, half of which will be buried with one of the husband and wife, and the other half will be buried together when the other one dies, which means "starting over for the second time". Therefore, the bronze mirror has been accompanied since people got married and has been adhering to this tradition.

However, in ancient times, there were some superstitions. After the storm, the bride became restless and stayed awake after marrying her in-laws. It seems that a monk gave him a bronze mirror for the bride to wear. It won't take long. Therefore, bronze mirrors have always been said to ward off evil spirits. Later, girls must buy a pair to ward off evil spirits and defend themselves when they get married.

Because there has always been a saying in the countryside that there is a god under the bridge. After throwing wedding eggs and money, the gods will bless the newlyweds and make them feel harmonious after marriage.
