Textual research on pre-Qin wedding etiquette: why is a wedding called a wedding?
In the pre-Qin period, marriage was a serious matter. First, the first step is to accept mining. That is, the man's family sent messengers to the woman's house to propose marriage and took live geese (that is, geese) as gifts. When the angel sent by Zhijia came to the door of the woman's house in a very formal dress and explained his purpose to the receptionist of the woman's house. Meng Gui's father, as the head of the family, must put on a formal suit, meet the emissary at the gate, and then invite the emissary of the man's family in. After entering the door, I went straight to the temple gate, and the two sides entered each other. Bow to each other three times and reach the front steps of the hall. Meng Gui's father went to church with the messenger of the man's family, and the woman's family sat east facing west. The messenger of this man's family walked from the west steps to the hall and said to the east below the building. At this time, the man's family and the woman's family exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Meng Meng's father made two bows to the north on the stage. The messenger gave the goose between two trees in the class, facing south. The man's messenger sent the live goose to the woman's house and left the temple. Meng Gui's father wanted to give the live goose to the retainer and let him go out and return it to the messenger of the man's family. The first step of mining has been completed.

Enter the second step of the program and ask the name. After the collection is completed, the man's house remains outside the woman's temple. When the retainer of the woman's family came out to return the goose, the messenger of the man's family asked the name of the girl who was going to marry me. The woman's family will be a little more polite and tell the man and girl's name readily. Then, I will make a gift to send the goose back, just like what I said. After this, Meng Gui's father, as the head of the family, had to leave the messenger and matchmaker of the man's house to have a meal as a gift for hospitality.

The third step is Najib. The man's official family will go to the ancestral temple to calculate the hexagrams to see if the eight characters of the young couple are appropriate. Generally speaking, the result of divination is auspicious. After the man's family gets the auspicious divination, it will be sent to the woman's family to report the good news.

The fourth step is to join the army. In layman's terms, it is to recruit people. The dowry of the ancients was generally five black and red silks (ten heads) and two deerskin. The process and ceremony of the man's appointment to the woman's house are similar to before, but the way of speaking is different.

The fifth step is to invite. The bride's dowry was also accepted, and the marriage was basically finalized. Next, it's time to add up the wedding dates. Generally speaking, the man's family will choose one about the date. Then, send messengers to inform the woman's home with gifts (geese). As for the man delivering letters, there are not many steps to go to the woman's house to ask for a date. The woman's house is the same as before, with the man's house first, and then the wedding date.

The sixth and seventh steps are the wedding ceremony and the wedding ceremony. People in the pre-Qin period, like people in the Tang Dynasty, all hoped that the groom could meet himself. On the wedding day, Zhiyao, the owner of the man's Zhishi family, will toast his son Zhijing and order him to attend the wedding. Chen's parents, the Chen family, often let people hold banquets for her son-in-law in the temple. At this time, the game screen will show your first task, helping Meng Gui choose a wedding dress. There are three options in the picture: first, a red dress. Second, the black dress. Third, a white dress.

I believe you won't choose a white skirt, because in our traditional culture, white has never been a festive color. But if you choose a red skirt, then you will jump into the street in this game. Because the pre-Qin marriage would not wear red clothes. People in the pre-Qin period usually wore clothes or Duan Xuan when they got married, but the main colors of these two kinds of clothes were black. Before Qin people got married, both the bride and the bride were dressed in black. The parents of the bride and groom are all dressed in black, and even the guests attending the wedding are dressed in black. Getting married in the pre-Qin period felt really solemn. There is no music during the wedding except that everyone is dressed in black. Not only after the wedding, the bride also showed some sadness, because after marriage, she could not continue to serve her parents at home. And men can't look happy, because it's not easy for a girl to marry into your family. Your family has many daughters, while others have few daughters. Don't get too excited in order to show your in-laws the size. In the words of Confucius, it is "married to a woman's house, staying in the candle for three nights, caring for each other." : I took a woman's house, I was unhappy for three days, and I still thought about my loved ones. "By the way, the wedding is also called a faint ceremony, because it is held at dusk.

You can think about it, the picture of the pre-Qin people's wedding day is generally like this: as dusk approaches, the groom in black dress goes to the bride's house with his entourage who is also dressed in black. The bride and her family are waiting for the groom in black dresses. When the groom's motorcade stops outside the woman's door, the woman's father will arrange a banquet on the west side of the door in class. The bride in full dress is waiting in the room. The nanny stood on her right, and the accompanying female companion stood behind her in black. The groom parked the car and walked to the front door of the woman's house. After the receptionist of the woman's house has finished the business. The father of the bride will personally put on a black dress, welcome her son-in-law in and bow to the west. The new husband bowed to the East. Father-in-law and son-in-law, introduction. The son-in-law holds the goose and then gets started. Go to the front of the temple, bow in, and so on, and reach the next step of the main hall. Once again, my father-in-law went to court, facing west. Guests go to class, face north, put the goose on the ground and bow their heads to kowtow to the ground. The son-in-law walked out of the hall. Then the bride came down the western steps. My father-in-law doesn't have to send him to class.

After that, the groom will drive the car for the bride himself and give the leash to the bride. The bride's nanny refused to pull the rope for her. After the bride gets on the bus, the nanny puts on her blouse and drives the horse. At this time, your brain suddenly stopped, and the game jumped out of two options: one is to hold the groom and let the bride drive, and the other is to let the professional driver drive. Maybe you will choose one, because the groom has got on the bus and picked up the rope. It is not obvious that he is driving the bride. I can't stop the groom's kindness! If that's what you think, then you saved the street again. Because the groom is just putting on a show, the bride will be driven by a real driver, not the groom. And the groom takes his own carriage and drives in front, because the groom must get home first, wait outside the gate, and then there is a set of gifts.

When the bride comes to the new door, the groom will bow to her and invite her into the house. Then, before going to bed, the groom bowed as before and invited him in. The bride arranged a banquet in the southwest corner of the room from her married nephew. The groom walked into the room and sat down. The bride's position is in the west of the wine sculpture, facing south. The bride and groom exchange, and the bride waters and bathes the bride. The saluter took the towel from the wine. After washing, the tripod bearer went out, took off the tripod cover, carried the tripod in, and placed it in the south of Ji Lang, facing west and north. The dagger-holder and the dagger-holder go in with a tripod and put the dagger and dagger next to the tripod. The sword bearer put the body on a tripod and stood upright with his face facing north. From the back to the front, the knife-wielding person exits in turn and returns to the original position on the east side outside the bedroom door, facing north and west. The giver sets the sauce at the table, and the meat sauce is placed on the north side of the sauce. Shut people in and put them on the east side of the meat sauce. These fish are placed in the east in order. Chen Fang is in the north of Western Australia. Li Zanren calmed the millet in the east of the sauce, and the town of millet is in the east of the town of millet. The gravy is in the south of the sauce. Give the bride a little sauce to the east. The meat sauce is in the south of the sauce, and the north is the first one. The stump is located in the north of Tula, and Jidun is in the west of the stump. The gravy is in the north of the sauce. Yu arranged a seat for the bride opposite her husband's seat. Praise people open the lid of the husband's family and spread it on the ground in the south of the house, while the lid of the wife's family is spread on the north of the house. The memory bearer reported that the groom's dinner was ready. The groom bowed to the bride, invited her to the banquet opposite, and then sat down together to offer sacrifices.

Sacrifice millet and lungs in turn. Zan moved Xiaomi to the seat and gave the dragon ridge to the bride and groom. The bride and groom eat with gravy and sauce. They sacrificed their lungs together and ate them. Eat three times and it's over. Praise Lord Xi, pour the wine, and ask the groom to rinse his mouth and eat safely. The groom obeys and accepts, and the giver obeys the north inside the room door. Please also ask the bride to rinse her mouth and eat safely. Etiquette as above. Both of them offered wine, and the worshippers offered liver to accompany the wine. The bride and groom hold a liver vibration sacrifice, taste the liver and put it into the lobster sauce. Cheers. Goodbye. Zandabai, who took the wine, gargled and drank for the bride and groom for the second time, with the same etiquette as the first time. There is no wine or food. Rinse your mouth for the third time before drinking. The manners are the same as before. Praise the baptist and pour wine in outdoor honor. Enter the door, face the northwest, and put my knight on the ground to worship. My new husband and bride both answered. Zane sat on the ground, offered a glass of wine, and then raised his glass to drink, and the bride and groom answered them one by one. Stand up. The groom leaves the room; The bride and wife returned to their original positions.

By the way, spit out a small slot here. In the pre-Qin era, people had to prepare a lot of food when they got married. It can be said that the wedding ceremony is over, but the wedding is not over yet. The sixth and seventh steps of the wedding ceremony are the wedding ceremony and the * * * wedding ceremony respectively. In other words, the game has not been completely cleared. Because the next morning, the bride will take a shower, dress up and visit her parents-in-law. Therefore, to help Meng Gui finish her wedding, she has to accompany her to visit her in-laws. When I met my in-laws, the wedding was not finished, because there was no lawsuit in the temple. In the pre-Qin period, marriage was officially completed only after the temple was sued.
