Wedding ceremonies in Japan can be roughly divided into four types: pre-gods, churches, pre-buddhas and ancestors. Holy wedding: It began in Muromachi era in Japan, and was the most popular wedding for military attache families at that time. There are many manners. At the wedding, both men and women need to brew 339 glasses of wine to swear their love for life and grow old together. Therefore, the most important procedure in the whole wedding is to drink these 339 glasses of wine. When a guest pours wine for the groom, he must drink it three times per glass. Then exchange glasses and pour wine for both sides. During the whole wedding reception, we kept toasting each other, and the whole process of drinking a glass of wine meant the process of marriage between men and women. At the pre-Buddha wedding, both men and women read the engagement in front of the Buddha statue and reported to their ancestors that they had been married for a hundred years and lived together forever. At the wedding, a kind of white paper called "paper hanging" was cut into thin pieces of paper, and then the table was wrapped around the branches of Beechcraft. This is a traditional custom, which means to bring back the souls of deceased relatives and let them be safe forever. When a jade string ceremony is held at a wedding, it must be presided over by someone close to both men and women. Prenuptial ceremony is held in front of a specific god. Just sign an engagement before! Then read the engagement aloud together and read out your love for each other. The whole process only takes 10 to 15 minutes. After the wedding, there is a wedding banquet, which is usually held in the same place as the wedding, avoiding a lot of trouble! Church-style weddings can be divided into several types according to different sects: in principle, only believers can hold weddings in churches, especially Catholic gatherings, which are more strict; But recently, even non-believers, as long as they receive simple training in the church, can walk into the sacred church in a solemn atmosphere like believers; After their engagement in Japan, they will give each other a "bride price". Friends and relatives who came to the party also prepared gifts. In the past, the bride was usually given some trinkets when she was engaged, but now it is usually time to give money. The "Jenna" given by men and women to each other is divided into three sets, namely 5 packages, 7 packages and 9 packages. Here is the first choice food in 9 packages of "Jiena" dried mullet, which is often eaten at celebration banquets. 3. small sleeve material-bride price 4. Hemp thread-a symbol of growing old together. 5.SULUMAE- a precious food that can be preserved for a long time. 6. Tahima-symbolizes the blessing of future generations. 7. Victory Day -8. At the end of the celebration. But later, because the cost of two barrels of wine was too high, it was changed to put some money in the barrel as a symbolic expression. But this tradition has been maintained to this day. The amount of gift money is generally two or three times the groom's monthly salary. However, the specific number is generally decided by the two companies, and it is also a routine to try not to increase the burden on the other party. As for the woman's handling of gift money, different regions are different. Generally, in kanto region, half of the gift money is returned to the man, while in Kansai, it is all accepted. At the time of marriage, 1/3 of the gift money is returned to the man in the form of dowry. The recent trend is to return about half to two-thirds of the gift money to the man; On the day before receiving the gift money, the relatives of the two families came forward to help each other get the gift money. But recently, it is usually the matchmaker who helps to run to two houses or the relatives and friends of both sides get together at one house. Sometimes the engagement ceremony is also held in hotels or restaurants, and the day of giving the bride price is usually one of the days in Daan or Ewing. The ceremony is usually held at noon. Engagement souvenirs, wedding gifts or not, but men and women usually give each other engagement gifts. The man gives the woman an engagement ring, and the woman usually gives the man a tie and watch. Engagement rings are generally made of "birthstones". After the wedding, you should thank the relatives and friends who came to congratulate you and give everyone a gift. This is called "inducement". Gifts are generally daily necessities such as wine, cups, pens and commodity coupons. The price is generally between 3000 yuan and 1000 yuan, which is a great burden for the bride and groom. Although you can receive many gifts when you hold a wedding, you have to return half of the gifts to someone who can't attend the wedding because of something, and you have to buy a gift to take with you, which is another expense. During 1997, the average age of marriage in Japan was 28.5 years for men and 26 .6 years for women, while during 1930, the average age of marriage was 27.3 years for men and 23.2 years for women. Men haven't changed much for decades, but women will have it four years later. This shows that the social status of women has obviously improved. According to statistics, the average Japanese wedding expenses are: when engaged, the man 165438+ 10,000 yen and the woman's 90 yen. At the time of marriage, the man 1.63 million yen and the woman 1.42 million yen.
