Paying homage to the church is an old custom of marriage of Han nationality. This is the most important gift in the wedding process. After meeting the bride, they officially got married. Because the worship ceremony in ancient weddings was held in the classroom, it was called. Also known as worship of heaven and earth, flowers and marriage. It is popular in many parts of the country.

At the beginning of worship, candles, incense, firecrackers and music are lit. In this way, Li Sheng (that is, the wedding host) chanted: "Cigarettes are ethereal, candles are brilliant, and the bride and groom are in the flower room together."

After the couple are in place, they will chant "one worships heaven and earth, one worships Gaotang (parents), and the husband and wife worship each other to send the bridal chamber", as if they bow down in order. In feudal society, the bride and groom first worship their ancestors in the temple, and then the husband and wife pay homage.

The sea and producing areas in Zhejiang Province are called "Three Worshipments to Heaven and Earth" before the wedding. Modern weddings do not bow, but bow to parents, and couples bow to each other, which is unusual.

According to legend, the earliest wedding in China began with Fu's wedding and Nu Wa's matchmaking. Legend has it that in ancient times, floods flooded almost all people and animals in the world, leaving only Fuxi and Nuwa. Venus asked them to get married and have children, but they thought they were brother and sister and refused to agree. But if not, mankind will be extinct.

They suggested that they could get married if the bamboo cut into many sections could be connected again. Later, bamboo was really connected and a lot of bamboo joints were planted. Still unwilling, the two proposed to roll down two sets of stone mills from two mountains, and if the stone mills can roll together, they can get married. But when the stone mill was put together again, they still refused to agree.

Nu Wa has another idea. If Fuxi can catch up with herself, she can get married. As a result, Fuxi never caught up with Nuwa. A turtle taught Fuxi to catch up from the other side of the mountain in the opposite direction. Nu Wa was unprepared and was suddenly held in her arms by Fuxi. The two had to get married. This is the earliest wedding in China.
