Although many people prefer western-style weddings now, traditional Chinese weddings are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most areas will still choose to hold Chinese weddings. China brides have many traditional ceremonies when they enter the door. In addition to the well-known brazier, there is also the custom of red brick in some places. Red bricks also represent prosperity, so when will they be taken out?

When the bride walks in the door

In the old society, after the bride entered the door, the oldest elder of the man's family would press a pair of "hi bricks" on the gate. This brick is wrapped in red paper, which means that the couple will be rich or expensive after marriage. And you need to put a pair of chopsticks on the happy brick, take its homophonic sound, have a baby soon, and then tie two pairs of copper coins on the two sections of chopsticks, which means that the newlyweds are soul mates, which mainly reflects people's pursuit and yearning for a better life.

The bride walked through the door.

In some places, the elders of the man's family need to press a brick at the door before the bride enters the door and wrap it in red paper when she turns around. The bride has to walk through this brick when she enters the door, which means that her future life is booming. This custom can also help ward off evil spirits and drive away bad breath. Wedding bricks should be placed in front of the bride's door. You can take it out when you decorate the door, or you can put it in a necessary place when the wedding team arrives at the door.

Wedding anniversary

On the wedding day, in addition to putting red couplets on the main entrance, a pair of red bricks wrapped in art paper were pressed above the eaves of the gatehouse. This wedding custom is called "pressing red bricks", also called "pressing red doors" and "pressing red". There is a pair of red bricks wrapped in art paper on the eaves of the gatehouse, and there is a pair of chopsticks between them. Jujube, peanuts and chestnuts strung together with red lines are hung on the outward end of chopsticks, and peanuts are dyed red and green. After the bride goes through the door, the oldest peer in the man's family completes the ceremony of pressing red bricks. Jujube, peanuts and chestnuts hanging on chopsticks symbolize the good expectation and blessing of "having a baby early".
