The marriage custom of Han people sending lanterns. It is popular in Chang 'an County, Shaanxi Province, and now belongs to xi 'an. After her daughter gets married, during the eighth to fifteenth day of the first month of the summer calendar every year, her family will send lanterns to her daughter's house.

In the first year, you must send a pair of big official lamps and a pair of glass lamps painted all around. If the daughter is pregnant, besides a pair of big palace lanterns, she should also send one or two small lanterns.

Every pair of lights should be accompanied by candles. How many days will it take? Send as many candles as you want. Palace lanterns and glass lanterns are given in the hope that my daughter will be lucky after marriage. Happy. Sending small lanterns is to wish my daughter a safe pregnancy.

Pay attention to the delivery of lamps:

1. On this day, in addition to sending lights to ancestral graves, every household and every room should light up all night.

Married girls are not allowed to stay at their parents' home for fifteen years, let alone send lanterns to their parents' home. Only when the family members die will the married daughter send a lamp instead. Therefore, the most taboo for the bride's family is the fifteenth birthday of her married daughter or sending lanterns at home. It is said that this will make her family less prosperous. So there is a saying in my hometown that women don't look at their parents' lanterns. But the daughter-in-law can send the lamp because she is already at her husband's house. Unmarried daughters or family members can send lanterns.
