Once married, ancient women rarely had the opportunity to meet their parents, especially when they were far away from home. Some people are sitting in red sedan chairs with the bride. If they are aunts or aunts, they are called "seeing her off". If the dowry is the bride's niece or nephew, it is called "dowry doll". If there is no escort, put a big bun in the bride's sedan chair and paint it with red flowers, indicating that the bride is not sitting in a lonely sedan chair.

Say something else and know everything.

Hong wedding

The ancients thought that red could drive away all evil spirits, and the wedding was the most important thing in life, and evil spirits were not allowed, so red became the main color of traditional weddings. Red lanterns, red happy characters, red couplets and red window grilles, the whole wedding is red.

Five-color silk and five-color line

On the wedding day, the bride and groom wear preserved flowers on their chests, which are decorated with five-color silk and five-color lines. The five colors, also called multicolored, green, yellow, red, white and black, symbolize multicolored colors, with red as the main color, implying auspiciousness.

The money in the trouser pocket

On the wedding day, both the bride and groom wear red belts. The belt is hollow and contains money. Money in the Qing dynasty was "word money", and it was coins in the early days of liberation. Now it is a hundred-dollar bill called "Fu Gui", which means that after marriage, you can make money and cherish it.

Break jujube branches and hold chopsticks and cups.

When the groom goes to get married, he should fold some jujube branches from his mother's house, two pairs of chopsticks and two cups, tie them together with red ribbons and wrap them with red silk to take away. "Jujube branches" means "having children early" after marriage. A pair of chopsticks and a pair of cups means that you can eat and drink in pairs after marriage, and you are not poor.

Carry a red handkerchief with you.

When the bride is about to leave after marriage, both the girl and uncle should bow to their parents and say goodbye. This situation makes people feel sad and tearful, and it is easy to wipe it with a handkerchief. Once upon a time, the bride got married crying.

In the past, when the bride got married, she sat in a sedan chair and wore a "red hijab" to show and represent the bride's youth, chastity and dignity.

Get up and down the sedan chair without touching the ground

When the bride gets married, get on and off the sedan chair, and be careful not to land. The ancients said that when someone got married, the dog star would drop blood. If the bride stepped on the blood of the dog star, she wouldn't have children. So I got on the sedan chair, got off the sedan chair, got on my back and stepped on the yellow cloth in the bridal chamber. That's what I meant.

Point hay

When the bride and groom come back from the wedding and enter the gate, they should light two bundles of hay that were placed around the gate in advance. Hay is tied with red rope, and there are fried cakes in the grass. Burning hay has three meanings: first, because hay is one of the "five grains", it is lit to wish the five grains a bumper harvest; Second, there are oil cakes in the hay, and the word "cake" means climbing step by step; Third, the string tied with hay is red, and the lit fire is also red, which can ward off evil spirits.
