Marriage is one of the major events and happy events in life, so it is natural for China people to hold a big banquet to show their happiness, which can also be said to be a national condition. As we all know, before the Zhou Dynasty, it was not fashionable for people to make weddings lively, but very deserted.

Their reason is very strange. The Book of Rites? "Special Sacrifice in the Suburb" says: "There is no need to be happy at the wedding, which means seclusion. "What does this mean? Kong explained this: "Quiet, deep also. I want my wife to think deeply about the meaning of silence in order to cultivate women's morality. "Originally, it was to let the bride understand the meaning of femininity and quietness in a serious and quiet atmosphere, but celebration and fuss did not meet this purpose. Therefore, it can be concluded that before the Zhou Dynasty, their marriages were all spent in cold and cheerless.

This custom still existed in the Han Dynasty, and many local satrap still adhered to this standard. Emperor Xuan Di, who came out of the people, couldn't stand it any longer. The imperial edict says that the satrap should not celebrate his marriage with a banquet, which is "tyranny" and must be abolished. Marriage is "the greatest person in human relations", and "the meeting of wine and food" is used to salute and have fun. Yes, you can celebrate the greatest person worthy of human relations with great fanfare. With the administrative permission of Xuan Di, Emperor Gaozu, people began to make the wedding jubilant and lively.
