Chinese wedding, male left and female right. We all know that in the wedding ceremony, newlyweds stand in the traditional position of men left and women right, but do you know why men left and women right? In fact, this is consistent with the positioning of Bagua Heluo in the ancient culture of China. The ancients took the style that the emperor sat facing south, so his left hand faced east and his right hand faced west. This formula is based on the Eight Diagrams and Heluo, which means that the East is the hexagram, the Yang is the long male, and the left hand is the Yang, exactly the same; The west is a girl's yin, and the right hand is yin, exactly the same. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the positions of men and women have been defined as male left and female right according to five lines of gossip regulations.

There is also a saying in China that men are left and women are right, because left is noble, right is humble, left is superior and right is inferior. In feudal society, men were superior to women, so there were levels. Although men and women are equal now, this position still exists.

Wedding Standing Posture 2: Male Right and Female Left

Western-style weddings pay attention to men's right and women's left, which is based on the history that men had to wear swords when they went out during the ancient Roman war, especially when they went out with their wives or fiancee. If they met the enemy, their left hand would protect their right hand to meet the enemy. At the wedding, the groom asked the bride to stand on her left, and once the rival appeared, it was ok.
