After the opening of Tianjin, concessions and churches appeared in Tianjin. Weddings in churches are usually held in the afternoon. China people also imitate holding a "civilized wedding" in the church. But people don't want to get up early, so they choose to hold weddings in the afternoon and evening.
In addition, there are a series of folk sayings. Let's see why the wedding is held in the afternoon.
I. Yin and Yang Theory
It's sunny during the day and cloudy at night. The dusk that meets day and night is the moment when Yin and Yang meet, and it is the best time for men and women to hold the ceremony of combining. The ancients attached great importance to yin and yang. But 3: 30 in the afternoon is an ancient killing place, which is unlucky and should be avoided.
Second, forced
Actually, according to the custom in northern China, the wedding should be held before noon 12, and the situation of getting married at night is usually considered as the so-called "second marriage". However, the wedding banquet market is often crowded, and some newcomers have to settle for the second best and arrange the wedding banquet in the evening.
Third, convenience.
If there are many relatives at home, most of them are from other places. It is not convenient to get married in the morning, so you need to make preparations in advance. And going home at night will not affect the rest of the next day. People who work during the day don't need to ask for leave, just come to the wedding right after work.
Fourth, the question of time.
There is enough time for the wedding in the afternoon. The wedding reception can last until eight or nine. Those who like to have a wedding go directly to the wedding room for a wedding, and the timing is just right. In addition, the bride and groom don't have to get up too early, have a good rest, and have enough time to make up in the morning.
