Marriage is synonymous with marriage. If you are lucky, congratulations. First of all, it originated from the previous generation records such as "Hunyi". Secondly, gourd, as a specific word for marriage and drinking, comes from regular script: the first half means inheritance, continuation, assistance, complementarity and mutual assistance; The second half is seal script, that is, bamboo. Now it is a festival, which means chastity, moral integrity and integrity. For example, "Hunyi" said: "The wedding ceremony must be in the interests of the two surnames. The upper one is the temple, and the lower one is the heir of future generations; Therefore, gentlemen are the most important. " A couple each have a drink, tie a half ladle with a red rope, and then tie the two halves into a whole with a red rope. This is the most important ceremony at the wedding. The meaning is self-evident.

Put the pot

When a woman gets married, the most important ceremony at the wedding ceremony is that the bride puts a new pot in her husband's kitchen, draws water and washes rice, and cuts wood to cook a pot of rice, indicating that she is already a husband's family. This is called "cooking", which is synonymous with marriage. Generally, we choose to put pots in winter, not only to avoid the tension of busy farming, but also to have a harvest to spend after autumn. People told me that the bride only wears several layers of cotton-padded jackets in winter to prevent some young people from having fun at the wedding. This is a more important reason.

Pull-buried skylight

Cantonese calls marriage "pulling the skylight", which can be interpreted as covering a window-like device opened for lighting with curtains. However, this explanation alone can no longer express its meaning. It turns out that in the old society, the living conditions in Hong Kong and Guangzhou were relatively simple. The buildings are next to each other, and two houses use a wall. Skylights are usually left on the roof for lighting. But when the lights are turned on at night, people who live on the next higher floor can have a panoramic view of the movement of the lower floor as long as they lean out of the window. Therefore, the curtain should be drawn to cover the bright skylight on the wedding night to prevent others from looking down. "Pulling the skylight" has become synonymous with marriage.
